Qf3?! { [%eval -0.38] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was Nf3. } { Weak move, never bring the Queen out too early, it becomes a target. I assumed I was against an aggressive but strategically lacking opponent. } 2... Nc6 { [%eval 0.0] } 3. Bc4 { [%eval 0.0] } { This is almost embarrassing to play against from a 1270, with good defense Black has a great advantage in this position.The opening is good to take down weaker players but my 1150 rating is very understated. The normal threat is mate on f7, Nf6 blocks the mate and defends h5 where the Queen likes to go. } { [%cal Gf3f7,Gc4f7] } 3... Nf6 { [%eval 0.0] } { The position is equal here, however after d6 I'm threatening to play Bg4 and attack the Queen. } { [%cal Gf6h5,Gc4f7,Gf3f6] } 4. Nh3?? { [%eval -3.04] } { Blunder. Best move was Ne2. } { This completely give Black the game at this point, White attempts to bring the Knight in to attack but h6 stops that. } { [%cal Gh3g5,Gg5f7] } 4... h6? { [%eval -0.92] } { Mistake. Best move was Nd4. } { The Knight can't do much from here, both squares are covered by pawns. Returning to g1 is the only option. } 5. d3? { [%eval -2.84] } { Mistake. Best move was c3. } 5... Bc5? { [%eval -0.78] } { Mistake. Best move was Nd4. } { Looking to castle if the tension relieves a little on the King side. } 6. Be3? { [%eval -1.81] } { Mistake. Best move was Qg3. } 6... Bxe3? { [%eval -0.54] } { Mistake. Best move was Nd4. } (6... Nd4 7. Bxd4) 7. fxe3 { [%eval -0.48] } 7... d6 { [%eval -0.58] } 8. O-O { [%eval -0.52] } 8... Bg4?! { [%eval 0.3] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was Na5. } { I wanted to shift my pieces and attack to the King side, I was planning to castle Queen side while White fortified the King side against the attack. } (8... Na5 9. Bb3) 9. Qg3 { [%eval 0.09] } 9... Qd7 { [%eval 0.25] } { Supporting the Bishop and clearing the way to long castles. } { [%cal Ge8a8,Gd7g4] } 10. Nf2 { [%eval -0.61] } 10... h5 { [%eval -0.46] } { The plan is to push the pawn all the way into the King and break down the pawn wall. With opposite sided Kings it's all about who gets the attack first. } { [%cal Gh5h4,Gh4h3] } 11. h3?! { [%eval -1.1] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was h4. } 11... h4 { [%eval -1.26] } 12.

O-O-O { [%eval -1.28] } 15. a3?! { [%eval -2.04] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was c3. } { White seems like he wants to get into the attack phase but after g5 the threats start enclosing on the King. } (15. c3 g5) 15... g5 { [%eval -2.03] } 16. b4 { [%eval -2.37] } { Another wasted tempo, White never finishes the push towards my Knight. } { [%cal Gb4b5] } 16... g4?! { [%eval -1.75] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was Rdg8. } (16... Rdg8) 17. hxg4 { [%eval -2.02] } 17... Nxg4 { [%eval -1.88] } { Here is an important position, all of my pieces minus the Knight at supporting that attack on the King. Both Rooks will have files, the King will be open, the Queen is ready to jump in and Whites other pieces are on } { [%cal Gg4h2,Gg4f2,Gd8g8,Gh8h2,Gd7g4,Gh5g4] } 18. Nxg4?! { [%eval -2.47] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was Qh3. } (18. Qh3 Rdg8) 18... Qxg4 { [%eval -1.36] } 19. Nf3?! { [%eval -2.09] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was Qh3. } (19. Qh3 Qxh3) 19... h3? { [%eval -1.0] } { Mistake. Best move was Qg7. } { Looking to trade the last pawns off the board. Generally with a strong attack pawns can get in the way of Rooks controlling files. } 20. Rf1?? { [%eval -5.09] } { Blunder. Best move was Kf2. } 20... hxg2 { [%eval -4.3] } 21. Qxg2 { [%eval -4.1] } 21... Qxg2+?? { [%eval -0.1] } { Blunder. Best move was Qd7. } (21... Qd7) 22. Kxg2 { [%eval 0.0] } 22... Rdg8+ { [%eval 0.0] } { Typically you try to keep the Queens on when you have a strong attack but I felt that the Rooks and Bishop were doing a good job controlling the important part of the board. White has no chance of counter attacking without the Queen. } 23. Kf2 { [%eval 0.0] } 23... Bxf3 { [%eval 0.0] } 24. Kxf3 { [%eval 0.0] } 24... Rh3+ { [%eval 0.0] } 25. Ke2 { [%eval -0.12] } 25...

Rg7?? { [%eval -3.09] } { Blunder. Best move was Bb3. } { The start of the end of the game as Kf6 will double attack the only two white pieces left. } 30... Kf6 { [%eval -2.95] } 31. Kg2? { [%eval -4.91] } { Mistake. Best move was Be6. } 31... Rh6? { [%eval -2.29] } { Mistake. Best move was Kxg7. } (31... Kxg7) 32. Rg6+? { [%eval -5.14] } { Mistake. Best move was Rg8. } 32... Rxg6+ { [%eval -4.91] } { 0-1 Black wins. } { White resigns. With low time and being down a piece, especially a Knight in a closed end game, it would have been a certain loss. } 0-1
