I'm not positive about the opening move order, but I think the important positions are correct. } 1... Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. Bg5 O-O 5. h3 d6 6. e3 Nbd7 7. Nf3 h6 8. Bh4 Re8 9.

Nxf7 h5 35. g4 { He played this pretty quickly (despite being ahead on time). I think he wanted to make a passed pawn. But before he hit the clock he hesitated -- he saw how strong my en passant was, but he had already touched the pawn so it was too late. } 35... fxg3 { There is no way for him to stop my pawn. He can't even trade his knight for it since his own pawns are blocking him. } { [%csl Ge4,Gf3,Gh3][%cal Gf7g5,Gg5h3,Gg5f3,Gg5e4,Yg3g2,Yg2g1] } 36.
