1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nf3 Bg7 4. Nc3 O-O {black could have had a grünfeld with d5 but accepts a king's indian} 5. e4 d6 6. Be2 e5 {this is classical KID} 7. O-O Nc6 {black asks questions to the center, almost provoking my next move} 8. d5 Ne7 {this is called the mar del plata variation, don't ask me why!} 9. b4 {the famous - and feared - bayonet attack. white goes all-in on the queenside without hesitation. nowadays black has counter measures. especially 9...Nh5 is extremely sharp. In this game my opp played another interesting move} a5 {the idea of the bayonet is to play a quick c5. with this move black tries to strike at white's queenside pawns before taking any kingside action} 10. bxa5 {Ba3 has been played. i wanted to play a4 first and only then Ba3} Rxa5 11. a4 Nd7 {multipurposed. eyeing the c5 square which is always a good square for black after white's d5. and also preparing f5 which is a key move for black.} 12. Nd2 {defending e4, c4 and preparing f3 is neccessary} f5 13. Ba3 {the position is extremely interesting. i think it's fair to say that white has won round one on points. I have made more progress on the queenside than he has on the kingside} Nf6 {this move looks dubiuos to me. leaving control of c5 cannot be right. 13...b6! is more logical} 14. Bb4 {now the rook has to give up control of c5} Ra8 15. c5 {! this is what white plays for in the bayonet. and generally it leads to good positions when white succeeds getting it in before black has created counterplay on the kingside.} f4 {a typical move. it is however a mistake in this specific position. now the pressure on d6 increases dramatically!} 16. Nc4 Ne8 17. Nb5 Rf6 {the alternative 17...dxc5 18.Bxc5 doesn't look promising for black either} 18. Qb3 g5 {my opp bravely carries on with his kingside attack} 19. Rfc1 {at this point i felt the game was mine! the queenside pressure is overwhelming and i simply cannot believe that i actually lost this game} Ng6 20. cxd6 cxd6 21. Ba5 {i considered 21.a5 planning Nb6. i do however believe the text is stronger} Qe7 22. Bb6 {? makes little sense. 22.Nb6! was outright winning} g4 23. Ba7 {this was my ridiculous plan. why spend time on catching an enemy rook on a8 when it allows my opp to create kingside counterplay??} f3 {ouch!} 24. Bd1 fxg2 {all of the sudden i was not sure of winning anymore} 25. Nb6 {carrying out my rook winning plan} Bd7 {of course. 25...Rxa7?? 26.Nxc8! forking the queen and rook} 26. Nxa8 Nf4 {this is a critical point in the game. i am up a whole rook and still with a feeling of having a won game. the mental excercise of going from attack to defence is not always easy and i probably fail to defend in time.} 27. Rc3 {neccessary was 27.Qg3 to defend the h2 square} Rh6 28. Rg3 {the problem is that the rook cannot defend h2} Qh4 {ouch again! suddenly my opp threats a mate on h2. jesus christ!} 29. Rxg2 {best defence} Nxg2 30. Qg3 {again best - only! - defence. 30.Kxg2? Qxh2 31.Kf1 Rh3! was winning for black} Nf4 {black saves his knight to keep material equilibrium. the initiative is clearly with black. I'm struggling!} 31. Nb6 Bxb5 32. axb5 Nf6 33. Qxh4 Rxh4 34. Bc2 {defending e4} e2+ 35. Kg2 Nd4 {very unpleasant} 36. Bd3 {defending both e4 and b5. but completely overlooking black's next move} Rh3 {! omg my position is falling apart} 37. Nc8 {37.Rd1 Nh5! with the nasty threat Nf4} Rxd3 38. Nxd6 Bf8 39. Bxd4 Bxd6 {my last hope was 39...Rxd4 40.Nxb7 with a slight hope of survival} 40. Ra8 Kg7 41. Bb6 Nxe4 42. Ra7 Rxd5 43. Rxb7 {my only hope lies with my b-pawn. my opp knows how to deal with this and shows no mercy} Kg6 44. Be3 Bc5 45. b6 Bxe3 46. fxe3 Rd2 47. Kg1 Rb2 48. Rb8 Ng5 49. b7 {hoping for Rg8+ next} Nf3 50. Kf1 Nxh2 51. Kg1 Nf3 52. Kf1 Kg7 {no reason to play on. it's time to resign and congratulate my opp on a good game}
