Bf5 6. Nh4 $5 {Diagram [#] A surprising move that puzzled me for a while. I
wanted a good square for the bishop but apart from some temporary ones there
are none. So I opted to exploit the weakness in his centre. to cover up for
the bishop under attack.} cxd4 {A bit logical the Knight sacrifices itself for
an extra pawn and then intends to collect the bishop on f5.} 7. Nxd5 (7. Nxf5

proud of this move. Keeping the bishop , supporting the Knight on c6 over de
long g2-b7 diagonal. Seems Be6 was even better.} 8. Nxf6+ exf6 9. O-O Bc5 {
And black succesfully completed his opening moves despite the isolated pawn on
d4, the pawn is also limiting white in its room of manoeuvre.} 10. Re1 O-O 11.

my chessengines. So far so good on both sides !} 15. Qd2 {The move is
appropriate due to the ... d3 16 exd3 and the impossibility to capture on f2
via Lxf2+ due to Qxf2} Rad8 16. Rac1 $15 Be4 17. Red1 Bd5 {This bishop
manoeuvre doesn't bring much as the capture on d5, if ever, breaks the rook
connection and kind of pins the d-pawn after an eventual e3 or c3} (17... Qa7

capture or let white capture with a pinned pawn due to an undefended Rook on
d5 ? Alternatively suppose I'd capture on g2, how will white capture back ?
Whites aim is obvious, Nd3 & Nxc5 making it hard on black to keep adequate
grip on the d4 pawn.} Bxg2 19. Kxg2 {
With the d3 still in mind, it would be nice if the Night would be on g4.} (19.

sacrifice move with 2,07. Fritz 1 reaching 8 to 9 ply didn't see it coming.}

failing defenses but more noteably a defensless King. So Kasparov surely would
finish something like this off. Me ? Well see... despite me knowing that
computers always will throw up defenses you sometimes didn't come up with !} 26.

Now at most only a level game is possible.... Why didn't I play the intended
Bg3 and keep all pieces on the board... I wish I knew. The series of best
moves required to get the job done, obviously couldn't last till finish or I
would have been over 2100 ELO also} (31... Bg3 32. Qg1 Qf5+ 33. Rf3 Qh5 $1 $19 {

eventual coming of the rook to e1 as well. Rd5 is sooner or later necessary
however the 8th rank is not secured. Therefore white is not to counter on the
e-file. I underestimated this concept ! This is something I need to learn,
disallow the opponent to become active when under attack, sometimes this is
not about tactics either. Due to the tempo on the Qf2, this forces white as
well. Compared to the moves in the game Re1 is not possible !!!} 33. Qf3 Rd5 {
Rf5 is life threatening} 34. Re1 Bxe1 {
Restores the material balance but is not the best.} 35. Kxe1 h5 $19) 33. Re1 {

g6 was quieter, as the game moves will reveal.} 34. Bc1 {Another pieces that
will aid in the defense of the "REMEMBER INITIAL" defenseless King. Its clear
that the win is faiding away...} Qg4 35. Re8+ Kh7 36. Re4 Qh3 $4 {
