1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.e5 Ne4 {I wasn't completely familiar with this move order, the best responce is Bd5} 7.cxd4 (7.Bd5) 7...Bb4+ 8.Nbd2 d5 {This transposes back into the lines I am familiar with} 9.Bb5 Bg4 10.Bxc6+ bxc6 11.Qa4 Bxd2+ 12.Nxd2 Nxd2 13.Bxd2 Bd7 {White has more space and a bind on the dark squares. Bishops of opposite colors have a reputation of being drawn. I did consider offereing a draw around now but really the Dark Squared Bishop is better than Black's Light Squared counterpart.} 14.Qa3 Qh4 {My next few moves are all about maintaining the bind on the Dark Squares, trying to prevent Black from liberatoing his Big pawn on d7} 15.Be3 Qe7 16.Qc3 O-O 17.O-O Rfe8 18.f4 g6?? 19.f5 gxf5 {White is much better here due to the weak dark squares, Stockfish says Qd2 is +4 for white, but I didn't see it and continued solidly, patiently} 20.Bf4 Kh8 21.Rae1 Rab8 22.a3 Be6 23.b4 a5 24.bxa5 Rb5? {c5 is better} 25.Qd2 {I My bishop wants to move to f6} Rg8 26.Rf3 c5 27.dxc5? {a6 is better} Qxc5+ 28.Be3 Qxa3 29.Bg5 Qc5+ 30.Kh1 Rg6 31.Bf6+ {Black's back row is very weak and I'd love to bust through to the back rank with a rook, I decided the c-file was the best bet} Kg8 32.Rc1? {Stockfish says this logical looking move fails due to Qa7} Qb4? (32...Qa7 $12) 33.Qxb4? Rxb4 34.Rfc3?? {An unlikely looking blunder, a3 was winning but Stockfish saysBas missed a chance to draw here with h6 a6 is better} Rc4?? (34...h6 $12) 35.a6? Rxc3 36.Rxc3 Rg4 37.Rb3 h6 38.a7 Ra4 39.Rb8+ Kh7 40.a8=Q Rxa8 41.Rxa8 c5 42.Kg1 f4 43.Kf2 Kg6 44.h3 d4 45.Rd8 Kf5 46.Be7 c4 47.Rxd4 Kxe5 48.Bc5 c3 {chess.com say 91.3 Accuracy for white and black 90.5} 49.Rd8 c2 50.Ba3 Bf5 51.Bc1 Bg6 52.Re8+ Kf5 53.Kf3 {#r}
