Na5 {Which my opponent stops.} 12. Nfd2 {reinforce c4 ideas and hopefully prevent Black from playing f6 (Qh5+)} 12... Nh6 13. Nb3 Nxb3 14. Qxb3 Qc7 {Black thought I'd play Bxh6 here. Maybe I should but I came up with....} 15. Re3 Bg5 {Black wins the the exchnage. This was all part of the plan.} 16. Ba3 Bxe3 17. fxe3 {I've sacced the exchnage (and a pawn ) to prevent Black from castling.} 17... Bb5 {Black wants to play Nf5 and Ne7 and 0-0. This move gives back a pawn and chops wood.} 18.

If 23...Rxc3 24.Bc5 creates some play for Black.} 23... Qg7 24. Qe2 {Now 24...Rxc3 with the h8 Rook protected and White is big trouble.} 24... Rg8 {But funniy enough. This move puts Black right back in the game.} 25. e4 Ne3 26. g3 Nc4 {26....Nc2 was also a move But White is creating enough pressure to at least get a perpetual.} 27. exd5 Nxd2 {A mistake on the edge of time trouble. It is Black who has all the winning chances.} 28. Qxe6+ {Here my team captain left the match score card on my table so I could see we were 4-0 up. The match was won. I looked no further than a perpetual.} 28... Kd8 29. Qd6+ Qd7 30. Qxf6+ Kc7 31. Qf4+ Kd8 32. Qf6+ Kc7 33. Qf4+ {etc...etc.. draw agreed. We won 5½ - ½ and then set off for home experiencing no trouble at all.}
