♡ 107 ( +1 | -1 ) a near miss vs a 2044 uscfThis is a game I sent into melocal chess paper. What do yall think??? was my analysis solid or really messsed up?? thanks
The Fischer Defence, I had briefly gone over this opening in the OCB (pink cover) but didn’t remember everything or the exact moves.
4. d4 g5 5. Bc4 Bg7 6. O-O Nc6 7. c3 Bg4
I wanted to develop my knight but that dropped the g5 pawn and I didn’t want to waste a move playing h6(7...h6 8.h4).
8. Qe1 Bxf3 9. Rxf3 Nge7 10. g3 Ng6 11. gxf4 Nxf4 12. Qg3 Bh6 (if 12.Bxf4,gxf413.Rxf4,Qg5+) 13. Qg4 Qd7 I figured I would have a worse but playable endgame. 14. Qxd7+ Kxd7 15. Bxf4 gxf4 16. Bxf7 Ne7 (to stop 17.Bd5 which is kind of annoying) 17. Nd2 Rhf8 18. Bb3 Ng6? 19. Rh3 Bg5 20. Rxh7+ Be7 21. Nf3 Rh8 22. Rg7 Rh6
I wanted to play (22…Nh4) but he has moves like (23Ng5,Rf8, 24.Be6+,Ke8,25.Nf7,Rh5,26.Rf1)
23. Rf1 Rah8 24. e5 dxe5 25. dxe5 Nh4
I was hoping for (25.Nd4,c5 26.Nc2,Nf5 27.Rf7,Ne3 when the h2 pawn falls)
26. Ng5 Nf5 27. Rf7 Ne3 28. R1xf4 Rxh2 29. Be6+ Kc6 30. Nh3 Rg2+ (30.Nh3 is forced) 31. Kh1 Bg5 32. Rc4+ Kb6 33. Rcxc7 Bf4 34. Rxb7+ Ka5(Ka6) 35. b4+ Ka4 36. Bb3+?? Ka3 After the game Jim told me he thought 36.Bb3+ was mate ”I checkmated him but he just kept moving”-Jim
12. Bxf4?! Nxf4 13. Rxf4 Qg5+ 14. Qg3 Qxg3+ 15. hxg3 Nxd4 16. cxd4 (16. Rxf7? Nc2! 17. Rxg7 0-0-0 18. Na3 Nxa1 and White has no way to pick up the knight on a1) Bxd4+ 17. Rf2 is an equal ending.
26. Nd4! c5 27. Ba4+ Kd8 28. Nf3 (threatening Rd1+ and Rd7+) was a better attempt to preserve winning chances. Also better were things like Rd1+, Ba4+, etc. Now black gets a lot of counterplay.
26... Nf5 27. Rf7?
White had nothing better than 27. Rxe7+ Nxe7 28. Rxf4 Rxh2 29. Rd4+. Now black begins to create serious winning chances.
27... Ne3 28. R1xf4 Rxh2 29. Be6+ Kc6?
29... Ke8 30. Nh3 R8xh3 31. Bxh3 Rxh3 with winning chances; Kc6 leaves the bishop hanging.
30. Nh3 Rg2+ 31. Kh1 Bg5? (Better would be 31... Bd8 given White's next) 32. Rc4+! Kb6? (32... Nxc4 is forced) 33. Rcxc7 Bf4? 34. Rxb7+ Ka5 35. b4+ Ka4 36. Bb3+?? (obviously after 36. Rxa7+ or 36. Rxf4 black has to resign) Ka3 37. Be6 Rh2+ 38. Kg1 Rg2+ 1/2-1/2.
