Online Game #115
ICC
White: Mike Serovey (1538) Black: DeMarco (1141)

Here White has a choice of playing 6. c4 going into a English type position or playing e4 going into a King's Indian Attack type position. White chose the former.

6. c4 d4

Now White wants to transpose into a Reversed Benko Gambit, but Black thwarts that idea.

7. a3 a5 8. Nbd2 e5 9. b3 Bd6 10. Bb2

White has all of his pieces developed while Black is lagging behind a little in development. White has the position that he wants, almost. White wants to trade off the a and b pawns and then attack on the Queenside. White continues to deploy his pieces as if playing the Benko Gambit.

O-O 11. Ne1 Bd7 12. Nc2 Qc8

Black wants to play Bh3 forcing the exchange of bishops and weakening the light squares around the White King. White sees this and prevents the exchange.

13. Re1 Bh3 14. Bh1 Qf5

Black is putting pressure of f2 trying to force the exchange of light-squared bishops or win material if White defends incorrectly.

15. Ne4 Nxe4 16. Bxe4 Qd7

White has stopped Black's attack on f2 and can now open up the Center. Black still attacks on the Kingside, though.

17. e3 f5 18. Bd5+ Kh8 19. exd4 e4 20. dxe4

White is up 2 pawns here and simply needs to just survive Black's Kingside attack to win the endgame. Black's play is less than accurate here.

Bg4 21. f3 Bh3 22. e5!

White is still up two pawns here and now has a passed pawn in the Center.

Bc7? (e7 is better as it protects the pawn on c5 and blocks the passed e pawn.) 23. dxc5 Ne7?

White is now up 3 pawns and Black has just dropped a fourth.

24. Bxb7 Rab8?? 25. Qxd7!! 1-0

White is now up a Queen and 4 pawns!
