1.e4 {(TC) Opening very well played by White and Black struggled to maintain parity before wining a pawn after finally gaining some space.  Endgame full of possibilities which were explored interestingly by both players.} e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 d6 4.d4 Bd7 5.Nc3 Nf6 6.Bg5 Be7 7.O-O h6 8.Bh4 Bg4 9.dxe5 Bxf3 10.Qxf3 dxe5 11.Qf5 Nd7 12.Bxe7 Qxe7 13.Nd5 Qd6 14.Rad1 O-O 15.f4? {Michael has created a clearly winning position here: 15.Nb6!, Nxb6; 16.Rxd6, cxd6 wins the house. Both players did miss this possibility for a few moves. The same combination was missed on blacks move 17. (BvR)} Rad8 16.Kh1 exf4? 17.Bxc6? bxc6 {Qxc6 is lost for Black after Ne7+ forking Queen...} 18.Nxf4 Qe7 19.Qg4? Nf6! 20.Qf3 Rxd1 21.Rxd1 Qxe4 22.Qxe4 Nxe4 23.Kg1 {The ending after 23.Rd7 looks more favourable, (albeit with a pawn down) for white because of black's poor pawn structure (BvR)} Nd6 24.b4 Re8 25.Nd3 Re2 26.Ne1?
