My opponent was very gracious in defeat.} e6 2. e4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Qb6 6. Bd3 Bd7 7. O-O {well here we are again. the Milner-Barry gambit} cxd4 8. cxd4 Nxd4 9. Nxd4 Qxd4 10. Qe2 {strictly the move is Nc3 but my choice is to defend e5} Qb6 {well this is not normal but Black then plays the “natural” moves a6,Ne7,Nc6} 11. Nc3 Ne7 12. Kh1 {usually white plays Rd1 to encourage the Q to move. As it has already moved, it can stay at f1} a6 13. f4 Nc6 14. f5 Qc7 15. Bf4 b5 16. Rac1 {well Nd4 was tempting but it seemed that it would simplify too quickly. I had some wierd plans about attacking the Nc6…see later. Maybe Rae1 was better} Qb7 17. Nxd5 {OK lets go} exd5 18. e6 Bc8 19. exf7+ Kxf7 20. Qf3 {from now on fritz has black ahead.} Qd7 21. Rfe1 Bb4 22. Qh5+ Kf8 23. f6 {well done fritz for finding this!} Rg8 24. Rxc6 { apparently Qh7 is now the move. Or even Re2 or e3} Qxc6 25. f7 Bxe1 26. fxg8=Q+ Kxg8 27. Qxh7+ {guess the show is over folks} Kf7 28. Qh5+ Ke7 29. Qe5+ Qe6 { greedy no need to defend the Be1. Kf8 must win} 30. Qxg7+ {suddenly I could see magic} Qf7 31. Bg5+ Ke6 32. Bf5+ {Qf5, Qe7 mate is pretty. Ke5 Qf7+ Kg5 Qd5+} 1-0 You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization.

Love the mating finish if Qxf5. I even saw it before I read your annotation (which in my current form, is saying something!). Reply
