  • 1. e3 e5 2. c4
    English opening
    • 2... Ng8f6 3. Nb1c3 Bf8b4 4. Ng1e2 O-O 5. a3 Bb4e7 6. d4 exd4 7. Ne2xd4 d5 8. cxd5 Nf6xd5 9. Bf1d3 Nd5xc3 10. bxc3 Nb8d7
      I considered c5 here. This would have likely prompted Nf3..
      • 11. O-O c5 12. Nd4f3 g6
        Here I was anxious to prevent Bf5 from white.
        • 13. Ra1b1 Be7f6 14. Qd1c2 Nd7b6 15. e4 c4 16. Bd3e2 Rf8e8 17. Rb1b4 Qd8e7 18. Be2xc4 Nb6xc4
          Qxe4 would have been bad. 19.Bxf7+..Kxf7 20.Rxe4.. leaving white in a clearly winning position.
          • 19. Rb4xc4 b5 20. Rc4b4 a6
            I think this was inaccurate. I should, perhaps, have played the pawn to a5, forcing the rook back to b3.
            • 21. Rf1e1
              White is planning e5.
              • 21... Bc8b7
                An obvious counter since white will not wish to expose the knight on f3, allowing bishop capture and recapture with g2, exposing the king.
                • 22. Bc1f4
                  White sets up e5 again.
                  • 22... Ra8c8
                    I switched focus to the pawn on c3, now vulnerable.
                    • 23. Re1e3
                      White defends the pawn.
