[pgn] 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. 0-0 Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 d6 [7. ...d6 I was glad to see this and not 0-0, as now the Marshall Attack is out of the question.] 8. c3 0-0 9. h3 Na5 10. Bc2 c5 11. d4 Qc7 12. d5 Nb7[ --- 12. ...Nb7 was the first novelty of the game, c4 is more normal. The Ruy Lopez was the first opening I ever learned so the first 16 moves of this game were book for me. My opponents pieces becoming 'clumped' on the queenside will be a motif I will take advantage of soon.] 13. Nbd2 a5 14. Nf1 Bd7 15. Ng3 c4 16. Nh2 Nc5 17. Ng4 Nxg4 18. hxg4 g6[ ---Time for my first real think of the game] 19. Bh6 Rfb8 20. Qf3 Qc8 [---Almost all of my opponents pieces are clumped on the queenside, my last two moves were made in preparation for my next move, I'm wild for the night, my favorite chess player is Tal, it's the last round of the U2000, lets do this] 21. Nf5 gxf5 22. gxf5 Bf6? [---Not the best defense, according to iPad Shredder, Kh8 followed by Bf8 is the most stubborn] 23. Re3 Kh8 24. Qh5 Bg7?? [---When 24. ...Bg7 was played I was very very happy. The variations I wascalculating involved something like Qe8. But his pieces are so stranded on the queenside, I didn't see a good defense.] 25. Bxg7+ Kxg7 26. Rg3+ Kh8 [---Now time for me to blunder] 27. f6 Bg4 [--- either 27. Qh6 or 27. Qg5 lead to mate in 3. What a fish I am] 28. Rxg4 Nd7 [--- little back story, in the first round of the this tournament I was also playing a game where I was up 5 points of material. I expected my opponent to resign, and the adrenaline left my body. My opponent did not resign but kept making accurate moves. After 15 moves I blundered and lost the most painful chess game of my life. At this point I was not celebrating, I was digging in, expecting my opponent to make me mate him.] 29. Qxf7 Qf8 30. Qxd7 Qxf6 31. f4 Qh6[ --- 31. f4 sets a nice trap, if 31. ...exf4 32. e5 threatens the queen and mate yikes] 32. Qe6 Qxe6 33. dxe6 exf4 34. Rd1 Ra6 35. Rxf4 Re8 36. Rf6 Re7[ ---The last moves may seem superfluous to record, but I have lost from positions like this, the adrenaline is still running through my veins, this game is not over till the king tips.] 37. Rdf1 a4 38. Rf8+ Kg7 39. R1f7+ Rxf7 40. Rxf7+ Kg8 [---Now my best move is e5 followed by Bxh7 and a simple e pawn push] 41. Rb7 a3 42. b4 Ra8 43. Bd1 Rd8 44. Bh5 [--- If Rxe6, Bf7 check wins his last piece.] [/pgn]
