This position has occurred 780 times, 52% White, but the position is rated slight advantage to Black on my computer.

10. e4 ? Novelty an unfortunate blunder.

16... Nc7 Black attacks the weak d5 pawn and prepares to roll the Q-side pawns with b5.

17... Qd7 vacates e8 for the Rook.

18. Nc4 Re8

19. Qd2 Bd4 This is often an excellent post for the King Bishop . More annoying here as White's Knight can't hit it.

20. Ra2 White is tortured with the Q-side pressure by the Bishops and attempts to extricate himself.

....Be4 Black is after the d5 pawn.

21. b4 ?! Desperate but it's hard to suggest a move. -3.25 Bxg2

22. Kxg2 Qf5 ! The mighty Queen joins the attack.

23. Nxd6 ? May be Kev thought I'd blundered or, more likely , he was very short of time. Qxd5

29. Bb2 It appears that White has finally got his knickers out of a twist, but it's too late. Ng5 ! This is a killer.
