1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. exd5 exd5 5. Ngf3 Nc6 6. Bb5 Bd6 7. dxc5 Bxc5 8. O-O Nge7 9. Nb3 Bd6 10. Re1 O-O 11. Bd3 h6 12. h3 12... Re8 I could only find one game in which this move was played. 12... Nb4 13. Nbd4 Nxd3 14. Qxd3 The current main line. 12... Nf5 At first glance it would appear that the d pawn is lost, however it is laced with a very toxic and immediate poison. 13. Bxf5 Bxf5 14. Qxd5?? Bh2+ 13. c3 White has a straightforward plan, attack the d pawn and then use the queen side majority to win the endgame. Simple idea but not so simple to accomplish. 13... Bf5? I can only presume that he thought the d pawn was still untouchable, however 12..... Re8 had changed all that. He could however have played Nf5. 13... Nf5 14. Rxe8+ Qxe8 15. Bxf5 Bxf5 16. Qxd5 Qd7 14. Bxf5 Nxf5 15. Rxe8+ Qxe8 16. Qxd5 Black's error has given me the d pawn, however there is a lot of chess left to play and with only a pawn advantage the win is still some way off. 16... Qd7 17. Bf4 Nce7 18. Qe4 Qc7 18... Re8 If he was going to play Qc7 then why play Nce7 first as all this does, without following up with Re8 is tangle up his pieces. 19. Bd2 It may seem odd to retreat the bishop when having just managed to develop it, but the bishop swap would have put his N on the commanding d6 square. He now has to work out how to counter my threat of g4. 19... h5? 19... Qc6 20. g4 hxg4 21. hxg4 Nh6 22. Re1 Qd7 23. Bxh6 gxh6 24. Nbd4 My position is now very threatening, his kingside is open and my pieces are suddenly dominating. 24... Rc8 25. Nh4 Rc5 26. Nhf5 Re5 27. Nxh6+ Kf8 28. Qb1 Rg5 29. Qh7 Rxg4+ 30. Kf1 Rg7 31. Qh8+ Ng8 32. Ndf5 32. Ndf5 Had he played on then this is the best line. 32... Be5 33. Nxg7 Qh3+ 34. Ke2 Qxh6 35. Qxh6 Nxh6 36. Nh5 Exchange and pawn up should be no real problem to convert to a win in a correspondence game. 1-0 [ W.]
