[Event "Teters Memorial"] [Site "Mechanics Institute"] [Date "2022-08-25"] [White "Jasan Barnett"] [Black "Jamie Brotheridge"] [WhiteElo "883"] [BlackElo "1378"] [Result "0-1"] 1.f3 {A surprize opening (and prepped by white) (Jasan) - It proved to be worthwhile as far as the opening is concerned. A lot of prep was needed as Qh4+ is going to be a weakness for white for a very long time in the game.} e5 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 exd4 4.Qxd4 c6 5.e4 Be6 6.exd5 cxd5 7.Bb5+ Nd7? {Will lose the d5 pawn (Jasan)} 8.Nxd5 a6 9.Ba4?? {9.Bxd5 Qxd5 10.Qh4#!! wins a bishop for free. Should be taking the knight on d7 here. My love of having the bishop pair needs to be tempered sometimes (esp. when a pawn up) (Jasan) l must be blind [jb]} Qa5+ 10.Nc3 Nf6 11.Bd2 Qc7 12.Bf4 $40 Qa5 13.Bd2 Qc7 14.Bf4 Qc5 15.Be3?! {I should be trading queens, trading bishops and that bishop knight trade as well. (Bishop knight trade first, followed by queen trade) (Jasan)} b5 $16 16.Bb3 Bxb3 17.axb3 Qc8 18.b4 Be7 19.Nge2 O-O 20.O-O Re8 21.Bf2 Qb7 22.Rfd1 Rac8 $10 23.Bh4? {Silly move, allows x-ray attack on bishop next move followed by lost pawn (Jasan)} Rc4 $17 24.Qf2 Bxb4 25.Rd4? Bc5 $19 26.Rad1 Bxd4 27.Nxd4 h6? {Allows Nf5 and an option to win back the exchange (Jasan)} 28.Nf5 $17 Rcc8 29.Qg3 {It would have been a safer game to simply play Nd6 here and I would have won back my exchange. Stockfish does give both of these moves equal value, though. yep you should have played knight d6 and looks equal [jb]} Qb6+! 30.Kh1 Nh5 31.Qg4 Ndf6 32.Nxh6+? {Bishop takes knight is necessary.} (32.Bxf6 Qxf6 33.Ne4 {Not sure if I would have done this move, it hangs b2 (maybe c2 as well) to win a knight} Qg6 34.Ne7+!! {A very clever move if found.} Rxe7 35.Qxc8+ Kh7 {Who knows how this would have ended looks like draw}) 32...Kh7 33.Qg5 gxh6 $19 34.Qf5+ Kh8 35.Qd3 Rcd8 36.Bxf6+ Nxf6 37.Qf1 Rxd1 38.Qxd1 Qe3 39.Ne4 Nxe4 40.fxe4 Qxe4 {#R}
