Greetings players and fellow patzers 🙂
So here is a game, just recently completed, where I fluff the middle game
but an unfortunate series of doozies by dooser allows me back in!
As usual I've included annotations, and brief input from my personal tormentor, Mr F. Ritz

1. d4 Ng8f6 2. c4 d5 3. Nb1c3 c6 4. Bc1g5 {If there's any chance I get to double my opponents pawns up, I'll almost always jump at it} 4... g6 5. Bg5xf6 exf6 {This is probably still playable though} 6. e3 Bf8g7 7. Qd1a4 {Pins the c6 pawn, but only momentarily} 7... O-O 8. Ng1f3 f5 {Frees the bishop, but weakens e5 and g5 for my knight} 9. Bf1e2 dxc4 10. Qa4xc4 {Black's centre has been destroyed and is currently behind in development} 10... Nb8d7 11. O-O Nd7b6 12. Qc4d3 {Keep off b file to allow development} 12... Bc8e6 13. b3 Ra8c8 14. Ra1b1 a5 15. a4 Nb6d5 16. Nc3xd5 {With limited future for this knight, a trade off seemed ideal} 16... Be6xd5 17. b4 {? error, as...} 17... Bd5e4 18. Qd3c4 Be4xb1 {...loses an exchange} 19. Rf1xb1 axb4 20. Qc4xb4 Rc8b8 21. Be2c4 {Had to do something, so why not aim at the king?} 21... Bg7f6 22. Qb4c5 Bf6e7 23. Qc5a7 Qd8c8 24. Nf3e5 {Threatens........... nothing, really} 24... Be7d6 25. Ne5d3 {? Fritz suggested advancing the a pawn} 25... Rb8a8 {And due to the back-rank threat, white is now in trouble} 26. Qa7xb7 {?? Rb8 here scores Fritz -7.01} 26... Qc8xb7 27. Rb1xb7 Ra8xa4 {Hits my bishop and threatens mate... there's only one move} 28. Nd3b2 Ra4a1 29. Bc4f1 Bd6xh2 {Picks up a pawn, but Fritz says Rb1 was better} 30. Kg1xh2 Ra1xf1 31. Nb2d3 Rf1d1 {? this loses back the pawn} 32. Nd3e5 Rd1c1 33. Rb7c7 Rc1c2 34. Kh2g3 f6 35. Ne5xc6 {Takes the pawn and delivers a threat... will black see it?} 35... Rf8f7 {NOPE!.. Kh8 would have avoided:} 36. Nc6e7 {A check, and a discovered attack on the sad looking rook on c2} 36... Kg8g7 {? Rxe7 was the move... Kg7, Kf8 and Kh8 would all have dropped a pawn} 37. Ne7xf5 {With another check} 37... gxf5 38. Rc7xc2 Rf7d7 39. Rc2c5 Kg7g6 40. Kg3f4 {Black resigns} 1-0
This was a clan league game versus a player over 100 points higher than me,
so a good, meaningful win 🙂
Out of fairness, here's my other game vs. Dooser, where I get battered
(don't look! It's not as important when I lose!)
Game 10328334
Endgame doozy!
