My game!

The key to playing good chess is playing solid or forcing moves and eventually pressuring your opponent into a mistake (or just squeeze them out of the game).

A recent game that really illustrates that point is Bacrot - Topalov from Morelia/Linares. You can find the game here with extensive notation: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2956

Topalov didn't play extravagent plans, he just played solid moves and countered all of Bacrot's ideas with good moves. If this method can be used to beat a Super GM it can be used to beat anyone.

Why did you resign? I think you could have prevented the pawn from promotion by taking your queen to e2. And then if he moves his rook, you had a chance of checkmating him...

Although I believe you were at an disadvantage at that point, resignation seemed a little foolish to me..

However, I may be wrong as I am often termed as foolish and very seldom resign..

I personally wouldn't have resigned until your threat of the back row mate was gone. Even the best fall victim to that sometimes.

I am assuming you know this is the Sicilian opening and he plays an early 5..e5 which is slightly dubious because it gives him a backward d pawn and instead of the retreat 6. Nf3 you could have continued to develop your pieces by Bb5+ forcing either 7..Nbd7 (or Bd7) 8. Bxd7+ and then 9. Nf5.

GMs regularily play the schivishnikov... (early e5). However that game was wierd. When playing the early e5 normally white has played Nc3 instead of d6. Then since White decided to play Nd4-f3 instead of Nd4-b5 (mainline) black would have had both d7-d5 or Bb4 as responses.

Those are I'm not an expert on the najdorf, but I do believe an early e5 is part of the typical plan, provided that white doesn't play Bc4. I have no idea if early is that early or not though.

how about 33 f4 instead of g3?

The reason I did 33 g3, instead of f4, is that I was already in danger of back rank CM. f4 dont really help me in that area. why is f4 better?

why did you resign instead of making this move..... 38. Qe5h5? you protect your rook without critically endagering oyour queen?

As Ragnorak stated above 38. Qh5 Qxd1 39 Qxd1 Rc1.

He would just take my rook, Id have to take back, then he moves rook down, and queen his pawn

Considering the enormous rating difference your opponent had over you, I thought you did a hell of a job.

Yeah but...40.Qxc1 d8(Q)
41.Qxd1
his next move would have been either: f6,g6 or h6. You would've had the advantage
