Q vs Morgski, part 2

{White "morgski", Black "PhySiQ"} 1. g4 {Unsound, unorthodox, surprisingly effective} e6 2. c4 b6 3. Bf1g2 {Immediately trying to claim the long diagonal} Nb8c6 4. d4 {beginning to have a Queens Indian feel, just with a rogue g-pawn} Bc8b7 5. Nb1c3 Bf8b4 6. a3 Bb4xc3 7. bxc3 {Doubled pawns, but nothing to worry about just yet} Qd8e7 8. g5 h6 9. Ng1f3 Nc6a5 10. Rh1g1 {The c4 pawn is lost, and shoring up the g and h files seems imperative} Na5xc4 11. Qd1a4 Nc4d6 12. Nf3e5 {Black now needs to deals with the long diagonal threat before thinking about the knight} Bb7xg2 13. Rg1xg2 hxg5 14. Bc1xg5 {I was quite pleased with myself by this move, black is limited by attacking options from both sides of the board, and I thought I could tie some pieces up to gain an advantage} Ng8f6 15. f3 Qe7d8 16. c4 {I seem to be lacking one extra piece to break through though, so the pawn charge begins} c6 17. c5 Nd6b5 18. Ra1c1 Qd8c7 19. cxb6 Qc7xb6 20. e3 {any semblance of defending the King is completely abandoned now, it is all or bust from here} Nb5d6 21. e4 Qb6b5 22. Qa4xb5 {finally forced into a Queen exchange. Note that both kings have not moved, and my 2nd rank is almost completely clear. Not an orthodox game at all!} Nd6xb5 23. Bg5e3 g6 24. a4 Nb5d6 25. Be3f4 Nf6h5 26. Ne5xg6 {I freely admit to running out of ideas here. The bishop move before was a bit nothingy, and now I decide to do something bold to try and force something to happen} Nh5xf4 27. Ng6xf4 Ra8b8 {this open b file proves to be key...} 28. Rc1c5 Rb8b3 29. Ke1f2 Ke8e7 30. Rc5a5 {My choices here were Ra5 or Rh5. I thought at the time that the response would be the same, i.e. Rb8, and therefore I would have to move my Rook back again anyway. Q disagreed} Rh8b8 31. Ra5xa7 {Run out of ideas, in trouble, waiting for the end to come} Rb3a3 32. h4 {Pawn charge?} Rb8b2 33. Nf4e2 {Kf3, Nxe4+, so have to self pin my knight} Ra3a2 34. Kf2e3 Nd6c4 35. Ke3d3 {Really playing with fire now, the king is too exposed} Nc4b6 36. e5 Ra2a3 37. Kd3e4 {Nc3 the only option here, but it is academic by this stage} Nb6d5 {Ah, the old hook mate eh? Go on then, GP will approve} 38. Rg2g3 Ra3e3 {Well played Q yet again, even though I've lost 2 I felt I gave a better account of myself in that one} 0-1

1. g4 {What kind of nonsense is this?} e6 2. c4 b6 3. Bg2 {White has taken my long diagonal. I'll be forced to dispute it, I don't like the long term implications of white controlling e4 - and with a pawn presence there I'd lose the important f5.} Nc6 4. d4 Bb7 5. Nc3 {The strangest QID (like) game I've ever seen by move 5...} Bb4 6. a3 Bxc3+ {I felt that doubling his pawns here might discourage the long castle...what will he do with his king now?...} 7. bxc3 Qe7 8. g5 {Brilliant. This pawn is planting a Bg5 move with a tempi on my queen.} h6 {I have no choice... I do have to at least dispute this pawn.} 9. Nf3 {Opens up the long diagonal. This loses c4 immediately.} Na5 10. Rg1 Nxc4 11. Qa4 Nd6 {Also interesting: Bd5 12. e4 b5 13. Qxb5 Nd6 14. Qa5 Bxe4... taking away the e pawn. After analyzing this I didn't like the long term consequences.} 12. Ne5 Bxg2 {Well. Perhaps that Bd5 line was better. Now white is free to place a pawn on e4.} 13. Rxg2 {I REALLY don't like the looks of that g pawn. I am basically forced to remove it.} hxg5 14. Bxg5 Nf6 {Not f6. Ng6! forking rook and queen.} 15. f3 { appearing to prepare for a completely dominating center.} Qd8 {My queen is doing too much work. I don't like the pin on it and the undefended c7 pawn could become a wild liability. Ideally, I'd like to play Qc7 and control the boards longest dark diagonal.} 16. c4 c6 17. c5 Nb5 {Perhaps b5 was more interesting here. I didn't long consider it.} 18. Rc1 Qc7 {I have the long diagonal (and pressure on h2). This wasn't good planning. Better was probably Rb8, but I'm still holding onto false hopes of a castle.} 19. cxb6 Qxb6 20. e3 {I was delighted to see this.. Bd2 followed by Bb4 scared me much more than a pawn on e4 does.} Nd6 {the c pawn is dealt with - and I don't like Nc4 chasing away my queen after wasting two tempi to get her into some action.} 21. e4 Qb5 {ANYTHING to relieve some pressure. I'm on the ropes - just one missed block on my part and its a knockout. Maybe Rc8 was a better move... but I couldn't stomach this type of defense forever.} 22. Qxb5 Nxb5 {I think things look drawish.} 23. Be3 {This bishop is a powerhouse now if held onto..} g6 {ugly - but mandatory either sideline the knight with Nh5 or Rb8 losing my only attack on whole board...the semi open file.} 24. a4 Nd6 25. Bf4 {Wasted move. White should have seen the b file...and took it. Rb1 is better. This chipped away some of whites counter-play.} Nh5 {Now I'll get the h file with this tempi attack on the bishop..} 26. Nxg6 {an interesting way of collecting the pawn.} Nxf4 {With the loss of the dark squared bishop and the b file... I think morgski turned a draw into a loss.} 27. Nxf4 Rb8 {mine.} 28. Rc5 {...maybe Nd3 instead.. I like Nd3.} Rb3 29. Kf2 Ke7 {I need to get the h rook into the game.} 30. Ra5 {At the time I thought Rh5 was better. I was wrong. Rb2+ Kg3 Rg8 Kh3 Rxg2 Nxg2 and after Nc4 white can't stop black from taking the a pawn.} Rhb8 31. Rxa7 Ra3 32. h4 Rb2+ 33. Ne2 Raa2 34. Ke3 Nc4+ 35. Kd3 Nb6 {I didn't notice Na3... the jump square to a c2 check if Ke3.} 36. e5 Ra3+ 37. Ke4 Nd5 38. Rg3 Re3#
