Hallo,
here is also not the latest, but a game I wanted to make a thread out of, too: when suddenly a strong attack changes into a destructive counter-attack. I wrote some annotations in simple style, hope you like it. Have no time now, I will finish annotation later. Happy about your comments, of course!

Bf1c4 Ng8f6 {basically i typed the first moves in google and tried something new -> Berlin defense} 3. Nb1c3 Nb8c6 4. d3 Nc6a5 {it looks dubious, i admit. i liked the idea of him getting doubled pawns and also loosing his white bishop. the normal line would be 3. .. Nc6 4. Nf3 Be7} 5. Bc4b3 Na5xb3 6. axb3 {well, now he gained an open file for the a1-rook. i think white is better here. but you will see, the rook never uses that file and will enter the game when it is almost too late...} Bf8b4 {the advantage of no a-pawn: bishop development with a secure knight-pin at the same time!} 7. Ng1f3 d6 8. Bc1g5 {! one of the most important moves. this knight-pin seriously hinders blacks development and i totally underestimated its consequences! more of it later...} c6 {hindering Nd5} 9. O-O O-O {it is always possible to castle in the wrong direction. maybe this is one of the cases, with two pieces already attacking and the queen waiting in the background. but on the other hand: look at the symmetry. both sides have very similar attacking power. you will see the little tempo white has more, how much that can change!} 10. h3 {preventing the total king-side symmetry} h6 {trying to chase away the bishop. the pin was seriously annoying me. the queen is bound, because otherwise BxN and then g7xBf6 opening the kings pawn defense so much, i didnt want it to happen.} 11. Bg5h4 g5 {?!? trying to get initiative. i calculated all the odds if the bishop now takes the pawn, including my opened pawns and liked it more then this stupid pin...} 12. Nf3xg5 {...but, alas, he can take with the knight. suddenly i was shocked! i forgot about the knight, because this means...} hxg5 13. Bh4xg5 {...the pin is still here! my poor queen, the poor knight...all worse, because look at the pawns!} Kg8g7 {this felt like desperation, but turned out to be strong enough. anyhow, the f-pawn and f-rook of white are now threatening to enter the killing of the king.} 14. f4 {!? it was too early. Kh1 would have served better.} Bb4c5 {! i was very close to exchange the bishop for knight before, but now it rescues the black position...} 15. Kg1h1 Bc5e3 {prevents f4xe5, because the bishop is without cover!} 16. Nc3e2 {trying to cover f4 to prevent .. e5xf4.} Bc8g4 {?! he can not answer by taking the pawn: the h-file would be open to a check by the rook! suddenly the attack of white is turning into an attack for black, both sides are on the edge now...} 17. Qd1e1 Bg4xe2 18. Qe1xe2 {a grateful exchange. black could develop a piece and get rid of the cover of f4. and also have a look now on the relative position of queen and king...} exf4 19. g3 Rf8h8 {threatening Rxh3+. the pawns have been loosened up and it took its start with the early 14. f4} 20. h4 Nf6h5 {finally! the bond breaks, the queen and the knight are free, threatening Nxg3+, winning the queen back!} 21. Rf1f3 {defending g3} f6 22. Bg5xf4 Be3xf4 23. gxf4 Qd8d7 24. Ra1g1 {here comes the a1 rook!} Kg7f7 25. f5 Ra8g8 26. Rg1xg8 Rh8xg8 27. Qe2e1 d5 28. Qe1e3 b6 29. Qe3h6 Nh5g3 30. Kh1h2 Qd7d6 31.
