# Introduction

There is no notes for a part of the endgame, and nothing really interesting happens in that part, but I think the opening is interesting and instructive enough to post this game.


<br>
<b>1.</b><b>Nf3</b> <b>g6</b> <b>2.</b><b>g3</b> <b>Bg7</b> <b>3.</b><b>Bg2</b> <b>Nf6</b> <b>4.</b><b>O-O</b> <b>O-O</b> <b>5.</b><b>d4</b> <b>d5</b><br>
<br>
So it turns out we have a Neo-Grünfeld<br>
<br>
<b>6.</b><b>c4</b> <b>c6</b><br>

<br>
This is a fairly common variation of the Neo-Grünfeld<br>
<br>
<b>7.</b><b>cxd5</b> <b>Nxd5</b><br>

<br>
I think this is the worse way to recapture, he should probably try to maintain his pawn center, now white gets a big center which is enough for a slight edge in the opening.<br>
<br>
<b>8.</b><b>e4</b> <b>Nf6</b> <b>9.</b><b>Nc3</b> <b>Bg4</b><br>

<br>
Pressure against d4, this could be a problem so perhaps the most logical solution is to solve it dynamically.<br>
<br>
<b>10.</b><b>Qb3</b> <b>Qc7</b> <b>11.</b><b>Bf4</b><br>

<br>
Here white has accumulated another edge in the position, a good center and now white also has good active pieces.<br>
<br>
<b>11...</b><b>Qd7</b><br>
<br>
Okay this is not a good move, here it seems black has a traffic-jam.<br>
<br>
<b>12.</b><b>Rfe1</b><br>

<br>
Here I had a clever idea.<br>
<br>
<b>12...</b><b>e6</b><br>
<br>
This seems a little passive. [12...Bxf3 13.Bxf3 Qxd4 14.Na4 I was not finding a good square for the queen, so Rad1 will trap the queen, he can retreat but then I think white has good compensation for the sacrificed pawn.]<br>
<br>
<b>13.</b><b>Ne5</b><br>
<br>
Dynamic, the pawn seems to be a little hard to capture.<br>
<br>
<b>13...</b><b>Qc8</b><br>
<br>
[13...Qxd4 14.Qxb7 Nbd7 15.Rad1 Seems like black should resign here. 15...Rab8 16.Qxb8 Rxb8 17.Rxd4]<br>
<br>
<b>14.</b><b>h3</b><br>

Highlighting the problem with e6!<br>
<br>
<b>14...</b><b>Bh5</b> <b>15.</b><b>g4</b> <b>Bxg4</b><br>
<br>
[15...Nxg4 I thought this more chaotic and since black is in a terrible position this would probably give better chances.]<br>
<br>
<b>16.</b><b>hxg4</b> <b>Nbd7</b> <b>17.</b><b>Nxd7</b> <b>Qxd7</b><br>

<br>
Simplifying to a much better position.<br>
<br>

<b>18.</b><b>Rad1</b> <b>Nxg4</b> <b>19.</b><b>d5</b> <b>exd5</b> <b>20.</b><b>exd5</b> <b>Qf5</b> <b>21.</b><b>Bg3</b> <b>cxd5</b> <b>22.</b><b>Rxd5</b> <b>Qc8</b> <b>23.</b><b>Bh3</b> <b>h5</b> <b>24.</b><b>f3</b>

Here White is clearly better.

<b>24. Re8</b> <b>25.</b><b>fxg4</b> <b>Rxe1+</b> <b>26.</b><b>Bxe1</b> <b>hxg4</b> <b>27.</b><b>Bg2</b> <b>Qe8</b> <b>28.</b><b>Bf2</b> <b>Qe6</b> <b>29.</b><b>Rd1</b> <b>Qe5</b> <b>30.</b><b>Qd5</b> <b>Qf4</b> <b>31.</b><b>Qe4</b> <b>Qg5</b> <b>32.</b><b>Rd5</b> <b>Qc1+</b> <b>33.</b><b>Kh2</b> <b>Qxb2</b> <b>34.</b><b>Bd4</b> <b>Bxd4</b> <b>35.</b><b>Qxd4</b> <b>Qc1</b> <b>36.</b><b>Rd8+</b> <b>Rxd8</b> <b>37.</b><b>Qxd8+</b> <b>Kg7</b> <b>38.</b><b>Qd4+</b> <b>Kg8</b> <b>39.</b><b>Nd5</b> <b>Qg5</b> <b>40.</b><b>Nf6+</b><br>
<br>
So the black queen is lost no matter what!<br>
<br>
 <b>1-0</b><br>
