1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. h3 {Played to knacker the c8 Bishop.} 6... e5 7. d5 {Thank you. This is a KID players dream position. It is what we want, a blocked centre. White guys should delay that move as long as possible because playing it only pleases Black. (it's not a blunder but why please your opponent.)} 7... Na6 8. Bg5 Qe8 9. g4 {More Bishop knakckering and trying to rpevent a later f5 by Black.} 9... Nc5 10. Nd2 a5 11. Be2 a4 12. Nb5 {Now I can toss in a8 Rook for a juicy attack against the uncastled King. It was here in another thread we were talking about unclear Queen sacs. I mentioned I had a chance to play one so went for it.} 12... Nfxe4 13. Nxc7 Nxg5 {OK. Game on.} 14. Nxe8 Rxe8 15. h4 Nge4 16. Nxe4 Nxe4 17. Qc2 Nc5 18. O-O-O e4 {I don't think Black has enough for the Queen but I've had a lot worse and won, especially OTB.} 19. h5 {Ignore it. I must get in first.} 19... a3 20. b3 {I need to play b5 to open up the files v his King. but it's going to end up wiith his Bishop on c4 and I cannot get any play at all. His Kingside attack is winning, it must be. So though it breaks my KID heart....} 20... Nd3+ {I have in the past won whole games with that c5 Knight in KID's but I must to get that Bishop off the board.} 21. Bxd3 exd3 22. Qxd3 Bxg4 {Now it's getting clearer, I have two Bishdogs for a Queen. Bishdogs that are pointing in the right direction.....towards the enemy King........The King.......Always go for the King.} 23. Rdg1 {Be2...No...I want e2 for the e8 Rook.} 23... Bf5 {Looking good Houston. The Bishop also help defend h7.} 24. Qxf5 {Buggar! The Queen sac-back.} 24... gxf5 25. h6 {OK. It's a Rook ending, keep active, no defending pawns.} 25... Re2 26. Rxg7+ {Kf8 the h-pawn goes and his h1 Rook is very handy. But Kh8 and my back rank hangs and all my 2nd rank pawns go. Still it's better than giving him a Rook backed up passed pawn.} 26... Kh8 {Yuk!} 27. Rxf7 {I reckoned 27.Kb1 was the move. Stopping me from getting a passer with a unmoved Rook behind it. The reason why I chose 26.Kh8. We both end up with Kings in a net on a1 and h8 and there is a nice draw there. See next bit.} 27... Rxa2 {I have a threat!} 28. Rh2 {That cannot be right, he is defending a pawn. Kb1 or Rh3 answering R8 (the big threat) with Re3.} 28... Re8 {I don't think it can be saved now.} 29. Kb1 Rb2+ {Mate next move. I saw it all the moment I sacced my Queen.......I think.}

27. Kb1 {Instead of Rxf7. This is the drawing line.} 27... Rb2+ 28. Ka1 Re8 29. Rxf7 Rbe2 {Threatening Re1+ mating.} 30. Kb1 Rb2+ 31. Ka1 Rbe2 32. Kb1 Rb2+ 33. Ka1 Rbe2 {I would have settled for that. If....} 34. Rc1 {There is a nice (unforced) line.} 34... Rxf2 35. c5 {Rxb7 is better keeping the e8 Rook on the back rank.} 35... Kg8 36. Rxb7 Ree2 37. Rg1+ {Gives the White King some running room.} 37... Kf8 38. cxd6 {With that pawn on a3 Black has more than Blind Swine} 38... Rxa2+ 39. Kb1 Rfb2+ 40. Kc1 Ra1
