[Event "?"] [Site "Excite Classic Games by pogo.com"] [Date "2001.11.23"] [Round "?"] [White "JPHAUCTION"] [Black "Kvuzon"] [Result "0-1"] 1.e4 e5 2.Bf1c4 Ng8f6 {Bishop opening, I'm out of book here.} 3.d3 Bf8c5 4.h3 O-O 5.a3 d5 {My opening principle is primitive: Fight for the centre. The rest of the game, until the endgame, I move my pieces to contest the centre. Please show me a better plan if there is one.} 6.exd5 Nf6xd5 7.Ng1f3 Nb8c6 8.O-O Bc8f5 9.Nb1c3 Nd5xc3 10.bxc3 h6 11.d4 exd4 12.cxd4 Bc5d6 {Sm. I'm amazed I didn't capture the pawn. Maybe I should train on one move tactics so I get into the habit of looking after them in a game.} 13.d5 Nc6e5 14.Nf3xe5 Bd6xe5 15.Ra1b1 Qd8c8 16.Bc1e3 Bf5xh3 {Sm. If gxh3 then I would have to make a draw by perpetual since the bishop guards f2.} 17.Qd1f3 Bh3f5 18.Rb1c1 Bf5g6 19.c3 Qc8f5 20.Qf3xf5 Bg6xf5 21.Bc4b3 Be5d6 {Here my idea was that if a3-a4 than I would play b7-b6. White's black square bishop cannot get at the pawns. The white square bishop cannot do any harm if it ventures into them. And to attack the pawns white would have to prepare a pawn advance. During the preparations I would activate my king side pawns and try to put pressure on the pawns on c5 and d6. Is this a good or a bad idea?} 22.Rc1a1 a6 23.Rf1c1 Ra8d8 24.c4 Rf8e8 {I wasn't very afraid of the pawns since I assumed they would be weak if they advanced. Am I wrong here? Maybe, as the Crocodile Hunter might have said, the pawns are really dangerous.} 25.c5 Bd6e5 26.Ra1a2 Bf5e4 27.Ra2d2 c6 28.d6 g5 29.Rc1c4 Be4g6 {Sm. Bd5 would be better.} 30.a4 Kg8g7 31.g3 f5 {Sm. Bxg3.} 32.a5 Bg6f7 33.d7 Re8e7 34.f4 Be5f6 35.Be3d4 Bf7xc4 36.Bd4xf6+ Kg7xf6 37.Bb3xc4 Rd8xd7 38.fxg5+ hxg5 39.Rd2b2 Re7e5 40.g4 fxg4 41.Rb2f2+ Re5f5 42.Rf2g2 Rf5xc5 43.Rg2xg4 Rc5xa5 44.Rg4g2 Rd7h7 {Maybe white hoped that my connection would broke so he could escape. Happened to me once before, I was up a rook and three pawns and when I returned my opponent had logged out. My only abandoned game.} 45.Rg2f2+ Kf6g7 46.Rf2f7+ Kg7g6 47.Rf7f2 Rh7e7 48.Bc4d3+ Kg6g7 49.Bd3c4 Ra5a4 50.Bc4b3 Ra4f4 51.Rf2g2 Kg7f6 52.Rg2d2 Rf4g4+ 53.Kg1f2 c5 54.Rd2d6+ Kf6g7 55.Rd6d8 c4 56.Bb3a2 Rg4f4+ 57.Kf2g3 Re7e3+ 0-1
