1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 {(M) This is the center counter game. I'm still
thinking on how hold a complex center here.} Qf5 {(M) For a moment, h4 seemed
tempting.} 4. d4 (4. g4 {[%emt 0:00:00]} Qg6 {(M) This seems interesting and
makes white create many weaknesses.} 5. Be2) 4... Nf6 5. d5 Ng4 6. Nf3 e5 {(M)
What about taking en passant here?} 7. Bb5+ (7. dxe6 Bxe6 {(M) This seems good
for black and allows his/her development. Therefore, Bb5+ is certainly
stronger.}) (7. h3 Nf6 8. g4 {(M) Rybka prefers this, driving the queen and
knight away in two moves.}) 7... Bd7 8. O-O Bc5 9. h3 {(M) I'm obviously not
afraid to trade my rook for two minor pieces.} Nf6 (9... Bxf2+ 10. Rxf2 Nxf2
11. Kxf2 {(M) And white seems to have a very interesting game, despite the
weaknesses.} Bxb5 (11... Qf6 $2 {(M) I originally overlooked Bxb7+.}) 12. Nxb5)
10. Nxe5 Bxb5 11. Nxb5 Na6 12. d6 {(M) Offering this pawn here gave me nothing
but trouble.} O-O $5 {(M) Now I didn't consider the check, I'm into a bit of
trouble. However, according to Rybka, I still have counterplay.} (12... cxd6
13. Nxd6+ Bxd6 {(M) This is what I was hoping for.} 14. Qxd6) (12... Qxe5 {(M)
The pawn cannot be taken, because the bishop is pinned.} 13. Re1 Ne4 14. d7+
Kd8 {[%eval -56,13] [%emt 0:00:04]} 15. Be3 Bb4 {[%eval -66,13] [%emt 0:00:03]}
16. Bd4 Qxb5 {[%eval -46,14] [%emt 0:00:01]} 17. Rxe4 {(M) With a slight
advantage for black.}) 13. Nd3 Bxd6 14. Nxd6 cxd6 {(M) This pawn is, however,
very hard for black to defend still.} 15. g4 $5 {(M) A very bold move. This
wouldn't be possible if the queen was not guarding this square.} (15. Re1 Rfe8
16. Bf4 Rxe1+ 17. Qxe1 Re8 18. Qc3 {[%eval 41,13] [%emt 0:00:04] (M) This
keeps a slight advantage for white.}) 15... Qg6 $2 (15... Qd7 {(M) This looks
much, much safer for black, with ideas of Rfd8, for example.} 16. Bf4 Rfd8 17.
c4 Qc8 18. c5 $2 {(M) And white can't pressure the d-pawn.} dxc5) (15... Qd5 {
[%eval 0,15] [%emt 0:00:01]} 16. Re1 Rfe8 17. Be3 {[%eval 3,15] [%emt 0:00:01]
(M) Rybka prevers this line for black, keeping the game almost perfectly even.}
) 16. Nf4 Qe4 17. g5 {(M) I could simply have taken the pawn here, guarding
the knight twice. But I tought disrupting the knight was much better.} (17.
Qxd6 Rfd8 $1 {(M) And it is true. This gives black some counterplay.} 18. Qa3
Nb4 (18... Qxc2 $2 {(M) And indeed taking the pawn is not as good.} 19. Be3 h6
20. Rac1 $1)) 17... Nd7 18. Re1 Qc6 19. Nd5 Kh8 20. b3 Nac5 21. Bb2 Ne6 {(M)
In this conext, this move is pretty sound.} 22. c4 $1 {(M) And now this makes
it very hard for the white queen to attack.} Nxg5 $4 {(M) Black will regret
getting this pawn. All of a sudden, his/her defense crumbles.} 23. Qg4 $1 {(M)
And the knight is pinned.} f6 24. Re7 $1 {(M) And now black's position is very,
very crowded.} Rf7 $5 {(M) Trading looks natural here, if I accepted.} 25. Rae1
(25. Rxf7 Nxf7 26. Re1 Rf8 (26... Rd8 $4 {Leads to disaster.} 27. Re7 Nde5 28.
Bxe5 Rf8 29. Nxf6 gxf6 (29... dxe5 $1 {[%eval 184,12] [%emt 0:00:02] (M) Nice
Rybka move.} 30. Nd5 a5 {[%eval 207,13] [%emt 0:00:04]} 31. Rxf7 $4 {The queen
guards the critical square c8.} (31. Rc7 {[%eval 199,12] [%emt 0:00:01]} Qd6 {
[%eval 199,12] [%emt 0:00:01]} 32. Rxb7 {[%eval 199,12] [%emt 0:00:01] (M) And
black still hangs on, but he/she is down two pawns.}) 31... Rxf7 {[%eval -212,
12] [%emt 0:00:01]}) 30. Bxf6#) 27. Re7 Nde5 28. Bxe5 dxe5 {(M) And black
barely hangs on.}) 25... Rxe7 26. Rxe7 Ne5 $4 {(M) This loses material.} 27.
Bxe5 $1 {(M) Giving up a good dark-squared bishop to exploit my opponent's
weak position.} dxe5 $2 {(M) This recapture is not good for black.} (27... Re8
28. Rxe8+ Qxe8 29. Bxd6 {(M) This loses material, but it is safer for black.})
28. h4 b5 29. hxg5 bxc4 {(M) Is gxh4 faster?} 30. bxc4 (30. gxf6 g6 (30... Qxd5
$4 {(M) The knight cannot be taken, after all.} 31. Qxg7#) 31. bxc4 {(M) And
black is still in the game.}) 30... Qa4 31. gxf6 g6 32. Qe6 Qd1+ 33. Kg2 Qa4
34. f7 Qxc4 $4 {(M) Very greedy, but the threats are numerous.} 35. Re8+ $1 {
(M) Deflection.} Rxe8 36. fxe8=Q+ Kg7 37. Qxe5+ Kh6 38. Qh2+ {(M) Restricting
black's play area.} Kg7 (38... Kg5 39. Qee5+ Kg4 40. Qhg3#) 39. Qee5+ Kg8 40.
Ne7+ Kf8 41. Qhf4+ Ke8 (41... Qxf4 42. Qxf4+ Kxe7 {(M) Not great, but it
delays checkmate for a while more.}) 42. Qxc4 h5 43. Qg8+ Kd7 44. Qed5+ Kxe7
45. Qge6+ Kf8 46. Qdd7 a5 47. Qef7# 1-0
