<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
To all:</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Earlier
this evening I received a phone call from USCF Executive Director Bill
Hall and National Event Director Pat Knight Smith who told me that Bill
had just signed a contract with the Madison Marriott West in Middleton
(just off the Beltline at Greenway Blvd.) to host the <b><span style="color: red;">2013 US Open Chess Championships</span></b>!!</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
The
event will be held Saturday, July 27 – Sunday, August 4 and is a nine
round event. Traditionally there have been at least three schedules to
choose from. The Traditional schedule is one round per night at 7 or
7:30 pm for nine days except the last round which is usually at 3 pm on
the last Sunday. The Six Day schedule starts Tuesday and plays two
rounds Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to catch up. Both the Traditional
and Six Day time controls are 40/120 SD/1. The third schedule is the
Four Day which starts on Thursday and plays six rounds of G/60. All
sections merge Friday night for the last three rounds at 40/120 SD/60.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
In
addition to the main event, there are day tournaments, the US Open
Blitz Championship, a Fischer 960 (Random) tournament, USCF Sales
bookstore, workshops and lots more! Two very prestigious invitational
events take place at the US Open as well. They are the Grandmaster
Arnold Denker Tournament of High School State Champions and the Dewain
Barber Tournament of K-8 State Champions. As the host state, we will be
allowed to enter a second participant in these events in the event
there is an uneven number. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Room
rates at the Marriott will be $99 but you may have up to four in a
room. About a dozen restaurants in all price ranges are within a ten
minute walk as Greenway Station is renowned for its eating and shopping
culture.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
The US Open was last held in Wisconsin in 1953 or 1954 in Milwaukee.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
In
2006 the Wisconsin scholastic chess community turned out in large
numbers for the National High School Championships. Now it is
everyone’s turn to show the national chess crowd that we can support a
large open, national event!</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Much more later!</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Thanks,</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">The River Valley Community Chess Association (RVCCA) finished up their first annual club championship recently. The club, formed three summers ago by high school friends looking to bring chess into the local community, has grown greatly since its initiation. The club championship was divided into two levels: Scholastic (16 and under) and Regular. The championship was open to all chess players in the lower WI river valley area that were members of the club. The format was a double round robin played over several weeks, allowing all participants to play each other twice, once as each color. 1<sup>st</sup> prize for the scholastic champion was a laser engraved crystal trophy, while the 1<sup>st</sup> prize for the regular club champion was a walnut decade traveling trophy.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</b></div><br />
<b>Summary:</b> This game was a <i>Queen's Gambit (Declined)</i>; Mike Wittje came out with some early aggressiveness on the queenside. Mike Rohe forced a trade of queens to relieve some of the pressure. Later Mike W pushed both of his knights into Mike R's territory, but he was able to force one out, leaving the other one hanging. From that point on, it was mostly endgame technique, with an extra bishop and a lone pawn on the queenside, 4 pawns each on the kingside, as well as a rook a piece. Mike R was able to blockade his position so that Mike W couldn't get at his pawns, and then slowly took control of Mike W's territory.<br />
Eventually Mike W offered a trade of rooks, which Mike R jumped at, leaving Mike W's king with no way to defend both sides of the board. There was the one mistake by Mike W, bringing the knights in without enough support (he had them set up so they were protecting each other, but Mike R was attacking one with a rook, and then attacked the other with a pawn, forcing it to move and leave the other knight with no guards), and another minor error each, but that was about it! Pretty good game by both of them.<br />

Black should have played c4 first, locking White's c-pawn down.<br />

This move blocks the rook from guarding the a-pawn; on the surface, it appears White could play a discovery on the a-rook, but Black would have a discovery of his own (Nxc5+ bxc5 with a discovered attack on the b-rook; this forces a trade of rooks, to go along with the trade of knights, so the net effect is that Black wins a pawn. However, White would still be up a piece and then Black would have very little chance of counterplay).<br />

*Each qualified group takes responsibility for litter control on approximately a two mile segment of state highway.<br />

At this point, tChess likes White's position slightly more (materially/tactically); however, Black likes his position. White's doubled isolated pawns are likely to be a weakness in the long term, but the open files may allow White some attacking chances in the short term.<br />

Superficially, Black's king position looks like it could come under attack; however, White has no pieces which can directly attack Black's king on g7 and despite the open file, the position is solid defensively.<br />
<i>White unwittingly trades off his only piece (dark colored Bishop) that can attack Black's now well guarded King.</i><br />

<b>17. Rd7 Ra8 18. Rd6 Ne5 19. Rg1? Nxf3 </b><br />
If White plays f4, Black can take the pawn on c4; then if the Bishop captures the knight on c4, Rc8 would pin the bishop to the king, and win it with b5 (net effect is Black wins a pawn).<br />
<br />
<b>20. Rg3? Nh4?! </b><br />
If Black plays Nxh2, the knight will become trapped. Black misses an immediate fork (which would win the exchange - knight for rook - with Nf5, forking both rooks [20...Nf5 21.Rxf3 Nxd6]). Instead, the move sets up an alternative fork on the next move.<br />
<br />
<b>21. Nd4? Nhf5 </b><br />
White misses the fork and Black ultimately wins the exchange of knight for rook.<br />

White's capture allows Black to pin the bishop to the rook. Black's plan is to bring the king over; win the bishop; the only way for White to save it is to play b4; then b5, freeing up the rook; but then White's king would lose his only shelter and become more susceptible to mating threats.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">An interesting game indeed. This match established itself as a ‘Game of Errors’. Played between the current club President and the club’s current ladder leader, it showed the good and the bad -and nothing in between. This was also a game with several stunning moves, lines, and combinations that changed the game completely – on both sides – only to usually be blundered by the same player a few moves afterward. This game is the Game of the Week because it demonstrates the good, the bad, and the ugly – not to mention the unbelievable, good or bad. Note that the computer analysis in [brackets] evaluates the game as the position is at the time. The game advantage was exchanged between players relentlessly. The match result is deserved after each players’ equally honorable and dismaying play during this game. It must be noted that the time control was G/30 +5. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

This would essentially trade one advantage (positional) for another (material, at least in the long run). Then again, it would open up White's queenside and possibly allow some counterplay.

Spring Green, WI., April 13th, 2011<br />
Time Control: G/30 +5<br />
<br />
<b>1.e4 c5 </b><br />
Sicilian Defence (B20)<br />
<br />
<b>2.Bc4?? e6 3.Nf3 a6 4.d3 b5 5.Bb3 Bb7 6.a3 d6 7.Bg5 Nf6 8.Rg1<br />
Be7 9.h3 O-O</b><br />
Black has a very small edge at this point in the game, because his king is secure and he has a space advantage on the queenside.<br />
<br />
<b>10.e5 dxe5</b><br />
<i>Shredder evaluates White's move to lose the equivalent of a pawn, but it would involve some risk for Black.</i><br />
<br />
<b>11.Nxe5 Qc7</b><br />
Black does not go for the tactical shot, preferring a more positional game at this stage.<br />
<br />
<b>12.Qe2 Nc6 13.Nxc6 Bxc6</b><br />
<i>Shredder evaluates Black +1.0</i><br />
<br />
<b>14.Nc3 Rfd8 15.0-0-0 a5</b><br />
<i>Shredder: Black +1.6</i><br />
White's king position is a little insecure because of Black's advanced pawns.<br />
<br />
<b>16.Ne4? Nxe4</b><br />
White's move loses a pawn after a few more moves.<br />
<br />
<b>17.Bxe7 Qxe7 18.dxe4 c4?</b><br />
Black wins a pawn with Qg5+ 19.Kb1 Rxd1+ 20.Rxd1 ... Qxg2 or 20.Qxd1 ... Bxe4 <br />
<br />
<b>19.Ba2 Rd7?</b><br />
Black again misses the opportunity to win a pawn, instead playing to double his rooks on the open file. A better plan would be to place his rooks behind queenside pawns & storm the king!<br />
<br />
<b>20.f3 Rd8</b><br />
c3 blows up White's pawn structure in front of his king & leads to some nice attacking chances.<br />
<br />
<b>21.Rxd7 Rxd7 22.Rh1? Qd8?</b><br />
Black continues to dismiss Qg5+. 23.Kb1 Rd2 wins the g-pawn & puts a lot of pressure on Black's position.<br />
<br />
<b>23.h4 h5</b><br />
c3 is still the better move.<br />
<i>Shredder evaluates Black to be up half a pawn.</i><br />
<br />
<b>24.Bb1 e5!</b><br />
White needs to free his bishop; Black tightens the middle in order to prevent that from happening.<br />
<br />
<b>25.c3 g6 26.Bc2 Rd6?</b><br />
Black's move is rather pointless.<br />
<i>Shredder: game is virtually even now.</i><br />
<br />
<b>27.Rd1 a4 28.Rxd6 Qxd6 29.Qd1 Qxd1 30.Kxd1 Kg7</b><br />
Shredder: Black has a small advantage +0.3. <br />
<br />
<b>31.Ke1 Bd7 32.Kf1 Kh6 33.Kf2 g5 34.Kg3 f6 35.hxg5 Kxg5 36.Kh2?? Kf4</b><br />
White's move allows Black's king to infiltrate his position, trap the bishop, & win the game. White needed to play Kf2 in order to try to hold down the fort. It should be noted that White was getting low on time, while Black still had plenty.<br />
<br />
<b>37.Bb1 h4!</b><br />
Black seals off the kingside, so that White's king cannot create any counterplay & thus free up his own king to dominate White's queenside.<br />
<br />
<b>38.Kg1 Ke3 39.Kh2 Kd2 40.g3 hxg3+ 41.Kxg3 Kc1 42.Ba2 Kxb2 43.Bxc4 bxc4 44.Kh4 Kxc3 45.Kg3 Kd4</b><br />
Kd2 makes for a quicker promotion.<br />
<br />
<b>46.Kf2 c3 47.Ke1 Kd3 48.Kd1 Be8 49.Kc1 c2 50.Kb2 Kd2</b><br />
White resigns 0-1<br />

River Valley Community Chess Club<br />
Spring Green, WI., April 6th, 2011<br />
Time Control: G/30 +5<br />
<br />
<b>1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5</b><br />
French Defense (C00), Wing gambit<br />
<br />
<b>3.d3 Bb4+ 4.Bd2 Bc5</b><br />
It's better to develop another piece rather than move the same piece twice (without good reason) in the opening. Nc6 develops a piece & guards the bishop.<br />
<br />
<b>5.d4 Bb6</b><br />
White could have played e5, grabbing some space.<br />
<br />
<b>6.Bb5+ Bd7 7.Nc3? a6?</b><br />
Black could win a pawn with Bxb5, Nxb5, dxe5 attacking the king's knight.<br />
However, Black misses it.<br />
<br />
<b>8.Bd3 c5?</b><br />
Black loses a pawn with this move.<br />
<b><br />
9.exd5 exd5 10.dxc5 Bxc5 11.Nxd5 Be6 12.Qe2?? Qxd5</b><br />
White left the knight en prise, Nf4 forcing Black's light bishop was the better move.<br />
<b><br />
13.c4 Qd8 14.Bf5 Qf6 15.Qe4? Qxb2?</b><br />
White is better off trading bishops here.<br />
Black is better off developing the queen's knight, thus freeing the queen's rook.<br />
<b><br />
16.O-O? Nc6?</b><br />
White could have turned the game around playing Rb1 attacking the queen, but it could have led to some messy complications.<br />
Black is better off developing his other bishop, attacking White's queen.<br />
<br />
<b>17.Rfb1? Qf6</b><br />
White attacked Black's bishop twice & it was guarded only once, so could have won a pawn.<br />
<br />
<b>18.Bg5?? Qxf5</b><br />
White missed that his light bishop was attacked twice & only defended once.<br />
At this point in the game, <i>Shredder evaluates Black to be +7</i>.<br />
<b><br />
19.Qxf5 Bxf5 20.Rxb7 Nge7 21.Rc7 O-O??</b><br />
Black drops a piece with this move.<br />
<b><br />
22.Bxe7 Bxe7 23.Rxc6 Be4 24.Rc7 Rfe8 25.Nd2 Bg6 26.Re1 Bf6?</b><br />
Stronger for Black Bd6 attacking the rook.<br />
<b><br />
27.Rxe8+ Rxe8 28.c5 h6 29.c6?? Re2??</b><br />
White potentially drops a piece with that move (the knight will have to block check, but can then be attacked a 2nd time by Black's light bishop); instead Nf3 was the move White needed to make. Black didn't see it either though.<br />
<b><br />
30.Nf1 Rxa2 31.Rd7 Rc2 32.c7 Bf5 33.Rd5 g6 34.h3 Rxc7 35.g4 Be6 36.Rd6 a5 37.Ra6 Bc3<br />
38.f4??? Rb7???</b><br />
White opens all the diagonals up against his king, and Black could have checkmated in a few moves.<br />
But Black doesn't take advantage and appears more concerned with his rook pawn.<br />
<br />
<b>39.Ne3?? Rb1+??</b><br />
White's knight is now vulnerable to a pin & eventual loss.<br />
Black checks instead.<br />
<br />
<b>40.Kf2 Ra1?</b><br />
Black can still pin the knight and trade down (usually a good thing when ahead in material).<br />
<br />
<b>41.f5 Bb3?</b><br />
Black’s retreat at 41…Bb3 cedes Blacks advantage in this game. 41…Bb3 allows White to seize initiative with the pawn capture 42. fxg6, literally forcing a pawn exchange. White is able to turn this into a drawn game. According to the u-Max (Fairy–Max 4.80) chess engine in Winboard, from this point on, theoretically, the only outcome is a draw. 41…gxf5 is a better choice for Black, as it leads to a (theoretical) Black win.<br />
<br />
<b>42.fxg6 fxg6 43.Rxg6+ Bg7??</b><br />
A game turner - Shredder evaluates the game to be close to even now. Black should have played Kh7 attacking the rook and forcing it to move. Blocking with the bishop allows it to be attacked twice and it can only be guarded by his king.<br />
<b><br />
44.Nf5 Ra2+ 45.Ke3? Bf7?</b><br />
White should keep his king near his pawns in order to protect them.<br />
Black could have won White's rook pawn with Rh2.<br />
<br />
<b>46.Rxg7+ Kf8 47.g5? hxg5</b><br />
White could have won the rook pawn with Rh7.<br />
<b><br />
48.Rxg5 Ra3+ 49.Kf4 Rxh3</b><br />
The game is pretty even now, and unless a blunder is made, should end in a draw.<br />
<b><br />
50.Nd6 a4 51.Ra5 Rh4+ 52.Ke3 Rh7 53.Nxf7 Kxf7 54.Rxa4 Rh3+ 55.Kf2 Rh6</b><br />
White wisely did not move his king to the 4th rank - had he done that Black could have skewered the king & rook.<br />
<br />
<b>56.Rf4+ Rf6 57.Rxf6+ Kxf6</b><br />
1/2-1/2<br />

River Valley Community Chess Club<br />
Spring Green, WI., March 30, 2011<br />
Time Control: G/30 +5<br />
<br />
<b>1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6</b> <br />
Scandinavian (B01), Pytel-Wade variation <br />
<br />
<b>4.Nf3 Bf5 5.Be2 Nf6 6.O-O c6 7.d4 e6 8.Ne5 Qc7 9.Bf4 Qd8</b><br />
White has a good lead in development - all minor pieces have been developed & the king has castled vs only two pieces developed & not yet castled for Black.<br />
<br />
<b>10.Qd2 Nbd7 </b><br />
<i>Shredder likes g4 for White</i>(?) <br />
<br />
<b>11.Rad1 Nxe5 12.dxe5 Qxd2 13.Rxd2 Nd5 14.Nxd5 cxd5 15.h3 Rc8 16.c3 Bc5 17.g4 Bg6 18.Kg2 a6 19.Bf3 f6 20.Rc1 f5 </b><br />
<i>Shredders analyzes c4 to be better for white</i><br />
<br />
<b>21.c4 O-O?</b> <br />
Moving the dark bishop out of the c-file would pin the pawn on c4 for Black<br />
<i>Shredder evaluates white +3.3</i><br />
<br />
<b>22.cxd5 fxg4</b><br />
<i>Shredder prefers e6xd5</i><br />
<br />
<b>23.hxg4?? Rxf4 </b><br />
White should have taken the pawn with the light bishop threatening a fork, and thus not allowing Black to capture his dark bishop<br />
<br />
<b>24.dxe6 b6 25.a3 Re8 </b><br />
White could push the e6 pawn, since Black's dark bishop is pinned<br />
Black could apply more pressure down the f-file by playing Rc8-f8<br />
<br />
<b>26.b4 Be7 27.Rc6 Bg5 28.Rd7 Be4 29.Rc3 Bxf3+ </b><br />
<i>Shredder likes White to capture the bishop</i>(?)<br />
<br />
<b>30.Rxf3 Rxg4+</b><br />
Kh3 may be a little stronger for white<br />
<br />
<b>31.Rg3 Rxg3+ 32.Kxg3 Rxe6 33.f4 Be7 34.Kg4 Kf7 35.Kf5 g6+ </b><br />
Black should activate his rook while he can, sliding him over to c5<br />
<br />
<b>36.Ke4 h6 37.a4 a5 38.b5 g5 </b><br />
This move turned the game around by allowing White to trap Black's rook<br />
<br />
<b>39.f5 h5 40.fxe6+ Kxe6</b> <br />
<blockquote>Black Resigns</blockquote><br />
<b>u-Max chess engine on Winboard shows a possible continuation as follows:</b><br />

Spring Green, WI., March 16, 2011 <br />
Time Control: G/30<br />
<br />
<b>1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5</b><br />
French Defense - Advance Variation<br />
<br />
<b>3...Bb4+</b><br />
c5 is the most common response for Black in this opening.<br />
<br />
<b>4.c3 Ba5 5.Nf3 Ne7 6.Bd3 a6 7.0-0 Bd7 8.Ng5</b><br />
White has castled and has space on the kingside, so starts a premature attack (he should have completed his development first).<br />
<br />
<b>8...Nf5</b><br />
Black blocks the bishop's diagonal (h7 driving the knight away would have been better).<br />
<br />
<b>9.g4 Nh4</b><br />
White drives Black's knight to a vulnerable square, opening up the double attack on the h-pawn.<br />
<br />
<b>10.Nxh7 f5</b><br />
Black tries to block the knight's support. Better would have been Ng6, which breaks the support as well as getting the knight out of danger.<br />
<br />
<b>11.exf6 gxf6</b><br />
White captures <i>en passant</i> in order to keep the pawn structure (& hence his attack) from being blocked.<br />
<i>Shredder evaluates White's best move as Bg5, albeit the position becomes more complicated.</i><br />
<br />
<b>12.g5 Rg8</b><br />
Black's rook pins the g-pawn.<br />
<br />
<b>13.Nxf6+ Qxf6</b><br />
White overlooks the pin and attempts a knight fork, but leaves the knight free for the taking. White should have played Qh5+ winning black's misplaced knight.<br />
<i>Shredder agrees with Qh5+, evaluating White +8.5 at this point in the game.</i><br />
<br />
<b>14.Qh5+ Ng6</b><br />
A major mistake by black, as the knight breaks the pin on White's g-pawn, which allows that pawn to capture Black's queen. The game is now back within reach for Black.<br />
<br />
<b>15.Bxg6+ Rxg6</b><br />
White retains the "phantom pin" image and completely misses black's hanging queen.<br />
<i>Shredder has White +19.5 with gxf6, -2 with the chosen move.</i><br />
<br />
<b>16.Kh1 Qg7</b><br />
<i>Shredder likes Qf7 slightly better, as it breaks the pin on the rook.</i><br />
<b><br />
17.Nd2 Nc6 18.Nf3 0-0-0 19.Nh4 Rh8</b><br />
Black hurries to get his king safe, while White maneuvers his knight to the kingside, attacking the rook twice (defended only once). Black counters by attacking the queen with his other rook, but White can simply wins the rook by taking with his queen. Black would have been better off guarding the rook with another piece (such as Ne7), although this still loses the exchange (rook for knight). This move turned out to be the key move for White to regain the advantage.<br />
<br />
<b>20.Qxg6 Rg8</b><br />
<i>Black would have been better off keeping the queens on the board, Qe7 looks better.<br />
</i><br />
<b>21.Qxg7 Rxg7</b><br />
With two passed pawns on the kingside, and owning the exchange (rook vs bishop), White likes his endgame chances, so trades queens.<br />
<br />
<b>22.Rg1 e5 23.Be3 Bb6 24.Rd1 e4</b><br />
White wants to keep the queenside locked, in order to prevent counterplay by Black.<br />
<b><br />
25.f4 exf3</b><br />
The 2nd <i>en passant</i> capture in the game!<br />
<br />
<b>26.Nxf3 Bf5 27.h4 Be4 28.Rf1 Ne7 29. Kh2 c6</b><br />
Black opens a line for his dark bishop, so that it can join the defense on the kingside.<br />
<br />
<b>30.Ne5 Bc7</b><br />
<i>Shredder likes Nf5 much better, keeping the rook on the f-file at bay.</i><br />
<b><br />
31.Rf8+ Bd8</b><br />
White ties the bishop down and has several pieces in strong outposts.<br />
<br />
<b>32.h5 Rg8</b><br />
<i>Nf7 would have been stronger for White (winning a piece), while Rh7 would have been stronger for Black (avoiding a trade of rooks).</i><br />
<br />
33.Rxg8 Nxg8<br />
White is happy to trade pieces and continue marching the passed pawn duo.<br />
<br />
<b>34.Kg3 Bc7 35.g6 Nf6 36.Kh4 Bd8 37.Bg5 Bf5</b><br />
White breaks the potential discovered check and Black brings his light bishop back to defend.<br />
<br />
<b>38.g7 Ng8</b><br />
<i>Rf1 wins a piece for White.</i><br />
<b><br />
39.Bxd8 Kxd8</b><br />
White is again happy to trade more pieces. Note how the knight and g-pawn can keep Black's king away from the action. It's only a matter of time before a pawn promotes.<br />
<b><br />
40.Kg5 Be6 41.h6 Ke7 42.h7 a5 43.h8(Q) Nf6 44.Qf8#</b><br />

River Valley Community Chess Club<br />
Spring Green, WI., March 2, 2011 <br />
<br />
<b>1.e4 c5</b><br />
This opening is called the Sicilian Defense<br />
<br />
<b>2.Nh3</b><br />
It's typically better to develop knights towards the middle, usually the King's Knight is best on f3, 2.c3 is also a common response to 1...c5.<br />
<br />
<b>2...d6</b><br />
This move opens the diagonal for Black's Queen's Bishop, in order to attack the “knight on the rim”<br />
<br />
<b>3.c3 Bxh3</b><br />
Black trades bishop for knight and creates a structural weakness (doubled isolated pawns)<br />
<br />
<b>4.gxh3 Nf6</b><br />
Black develops the King's Knight while attacking the unguarded pawn on e4<br />
<br />
<b>5.Na3 Nxe4 6.Bg2</b><br />
White attacks the knight with an “x-ray attack” on Black's Queen's Rook<br />
<br />
<b>6...d5</b><br />
Black guards the knight rather than retreat, otherwise the rook in the corner would be lost (Bxb7, followed on the next move by taking the trapped rook on a8)<br />
<i>Both players missed White playing Qa4+ forking and winning the knight on e4</i><br />
<br />
<b>7.d3 Nf6</b><br />
White attacks the knight, but it's no longer pinned, so can now retreat without harm<br />
<i>White wins the pawn back with 7.Bxe4 dxe4 8.Qg4 and there's no way for Black to avoid losing the pawn on e4</i><br />
<br />
<b>8.c4 e6</b><br />
White tempts Black to trade pawns, and thus open the diagonal to the Queen's Rook, but Black doesn't bite, and gives more protection to the Queen's Pawn<br />
<br />
<b>9.cxd5 exd5</b><br />
<i>Black should have taken with the knight, Nxd5, as White has some tactics at his disposal that could win the exchange of rook for bishop</i><br />
<br />
<b>10.O-O Bd6</b><br />
Black should probably have developed this bishop to e7, in order to block an attack on his King (along the e-file)<br />
<i>Or developed the Queen's Knight to c6</i><br />
<br />
<b>11.f4 O-O 12.Nb5 a6 13.Nxd6 Qxd6</b><br />
Black likes his winning chances, so decides to allow some trading; although this gives White the “Bishop Pair” advantage, Black has enough other advantages to win the game (Black is up a pawn plus White has several weak pawns)<br />
<br />
<b>14.a3 Nc6 15.Qe1 Re8</b><br />
Black takes control of this important open file; White should have played a rook to e1 instead of his Queen<br />
<br />
<b>16.Qg3 Nd4</b><br />
Black eyes the King/Queen fork on e2<br />
<br />
<b>17.Rf2 Ne2+</b><br />
White spots the potential fork and saves his Queen, but the move is still a good one for Black<br />
<br />
<b>18.Rxe2 Rxe2</b><br />
Black “wins the exchange” (Rook for Knight) and penetrates into White's position<br />
<br />
<b>19.b4 cxb4 20.axb4 Qxb4</b><br />
Blacks wins another pawn and has his Queen in a strong position within White's territory<br />
<br />
<b>21.Qf3 Re8</b><br />
Black brings the other rook to the party and firmly establishes control of the e-file<br />
<br />
<b>22.Ba3 Qd4+ 23.Qf2 Rxf2</b><br />
White should have moved his King to the corner<br />
<i>Black should have taken White's Queen with his own Queen, and mate would have followed on the next move (Qf2xg2#)</i><br />
<br />
<b>24.Bf1 Ra2+</b><br />
Discovered Check by the Queen, wins the Rook<br />
<br />
<b>25.Kh1 Rxa1 26.Kg2 Ra2+ 27.Kg3 Qf2#</b><br />
