Curses.....
14 Jun '17 00:373 editsI sat there working out a lovely win v vandervelde
then as it got closer to the knock out blow...I'm White.
1. e4 g6 2. d4 d6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. Bc4 Nf6 5. Qe2 Nc6 6. e5 Nxd4 {I have a tremendous record with this line OTB. The kill joys prefer 6...Ng4.} 7. exf6 Nxe2 8. fxg7 Rg8 9. Ngxe2 Rxg7 10. Bh6 Rg8 11. O-O-O g5 {Trying to the trap the Bishop with Rg6 etc...} 12. h4 gxh4 13. Rxh4 Rxg2 {Nobody has taken that pawn before. Usually I've seen Rg4.} 14. Nf4 {Rg4 would now be a mistake due to Rxg4, Bxg4 Rg1 and f3.} 14... Rg8 15. Nfd5 {Tempting forward the e-pawn so I can play....} 15... e6 16. Nxc7+ {...this!} 16... Qxc7 17. Nb5 Qc6 18. Nxd6+ Ke7 {I must what out for him saccing back the Queen so this move.} 19. Bf4 {Which now also threats Rxh7.} 19... Rg7 20. Rh6 {Very quickly played. I think I am treating Nf5+ not sure.} 20... f6 21. Bb5 Qf3 {I thought about Be3 here but he's going to play Qxd1+ and Kxd6. But he has...or so I thought, Fallen into a trap.} 22. Nxc8+ Rxc8 23. Rd7+ Kf8 24. Rxf6+ {Around about here I realised it was doomed...but I carried on.} 24... Kg8 25. Rxg7+ Kxg7 {And bishop+ wins the Queen.} 26. Bh6+ Kxf6 {0-1.}
