White: jacknor (1629) Black: Mike Serovey (1538)
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Bf4 d6 4. h3 Bg7 5. e3 O-O
I'm not sure at what point this becomes the London System,
but at this point Black is playing for either a King's Indian or a Pirc.
6. Nbd2 Nbd7 7. Be2 Re8 8. c3 e5
At this point Black is committed to playing
the King's Indian Defense.
9. dxe5 Nxe5 10. O-O c6 11. Nd4 c5 12. N4f3 b6 13. Nc4
Nxf3+ 14. Bxf3 d5 15. Nd6 Re6
Here White is slightly better because he has both bishops
aimed at Black's Queenside and an actively placed Knight on d6. White traded
the active Knight for a bad Bishop and helped to free Black's position, but
allowing Black to trade a Rook for a Bishop and Knight is worse.
16. Nxc8 Rxc8 17. Rb1 Ne4!
Here Black threatens to capture on c3 with the Bishop and
then recapture on c3 with the Knight and fork the White Queen and Rook,
winning the exchange.
18. Bg4 f5 19. Bf3 Be5?
Trading a Bishop and Knight for a Rook and two pawns would
put Black up one point. I give 19... Be5 a question mark only because Black
missed the combination completely.
20. Bh6 g5 21. Bxe4 fxe4 22. Qh5 Rg6
Black is trying to trap the
White Bishop on h6 and White is trying to free it.
23. h4 Bf6 24. hxg5 Bxg5 25. Bxg5 Qxg5
White succeeded in saving his Bishop by trading it. Now
Black threatens checkmate so White is pretty much forced to trade here.
White can decline the Queen trade and defend mate by playing his Queen to
h1, h2 or h3. If White did play the Queen back then Black can follow with
Rc7 and Rcg7 with the threat on g2.
26. Qxg5 Rxg5 27. Rbd1 Rd8 28. Rd2 Kf7 29. Rfd1 Ke6
White has doubled his rooks on the d file so Black has to
guard the d pawn. Black wants to double up his rooks on the g file and try
to win the g pawn.
30. c4 a6 31. Kf1 Rh5 32. Ke2 Rd6 33. cxd5+ Rhxd5
34. Rxd5 Rxd5 35. Rxd5 Kxd5
I think that this position makes for an interesting
endgame study. Black has two isolated pawns that White can try to attack,
but Black has his King better placed and his Queenside pawns are more
advanced than White's. Black is slightly better here.
36. f3 b5 37. f4 a5 38. g4 a4 39. f5 Ke5
Now Black has the position that he wanted. Black has the
Queenside pawn majority and his centralized King can check White's advance
of the Kingside pawns.
40. Kd2 h6 41. Kc3 Kf6 42. b3 axb3 43. axb3 Ke5 44. Kd2
Kf6 45. Kc2 b4 46. Kd2 Kg5 47. Ke2 h5!
Black realizes that he has the
opposition here and will Queen first in the pawn race.
48. gxh5 Kxh5 49. Kf2 Kg5 50. Kg3 Kxf5 51. Kh3 Ke5 52.
Kg4 Kd5 53. Kf4 c4!!
White cannot stop Black from
Queening first and thus winning the game.
54. bxc4+ Kxc4 55. Kxe4 b3 56. Kf4 b2 57. e4 b1=Q 58.
e5 Qe1 59. Kf5 Kd5 0-1
