I guessed that Black would castle king-side on his next move which would still enable me to do the knight for two pawns trade. I also liked that, when I finished the trade, my bishop would be aiming at the king-side.} O-O 14.Nxb5 {C.B: The two reasons why I decided to do the knight for two pawns trade were that, first of all, I had nothing to lose considering that I'm the lowest rated player in this tournament and secondly, I felt that my opening hadn't gone too well because I had to move my white bishop three times in a row.} axb5 15.Bxb5 Qe7 16.Bxd7 Nxd7 17.Nd4 Rfd8 18.Qg4?! {C.B: After black's response, I felt that this move was probably a waste because black gets a tempo.} Ne5 $19 19.Qe2 Bd5 20.Rfc1 $19 Rac8 21.Rxc8 Rxc8 22.Qa6 Qb7 23.Qxb7 Bxb7 24.Nb5 Nc4 $19 25.Bd4 Bxd4 26.Nxd4 {C.B: White offered a draw.} Nxa3 $19 {C.B: I completely missed this move until it was done. I had been feeling that maybe I should have been pushing the past pawns a little earlier than I did... Too late now. :)} 27.h3 Nc4 28.b5 g6 29.Rb1 e5 30.Ne2 Be4 31.Rb4 Bd3 32.Ng3 Nb6 33.Rb3 e4 34.Rb4 f5 35.f3 exf3 36.gxf3 Rc5 37.e4 fxe4 38.Nxe4 Rxb5 39.Rd4 Bb1 40.Rd8+ Kg7 41.Rb8 Rb2 42.Rb7+ Kh6 43.Nf6 g5 44.Ng4+ Kh5 45.Nf6+ Kh4 46.Nxh7 Bxh7 47.Rxh7+ Kg3 48.Kf1 Kxf3 49.Rf7+ Kg3 50.Rf5 Kxh3? {C.B: Black probably shouldn't have swapped all the pawns off...move 50 king h4 rook e5 rook b3 and black is winning According to fritz 11 [JB]} 51.Rxg5 $17 Nc4 52.Rg8 Ne3+ 53.Ke1 Ng4 54.Kd1 Kg3 55.Rf8 Nf2+ {black is better by - 1.04 According to fritz16 [jb] good game by you both [jb]} {#d}
