1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 {what a big mistake playing the RUY LOPEZ against bas he knows it to well [jb]} 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O b5 6.Bb3 Be7 7.Re1 O-O 8.h3 d6 9.c3 Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 cxd4 12.cxd4 Qc7 {e take d4 might be better [jb]} 13.Nbd2 {Standard Ruy Lopes opening thus far (bas)} Bb7 {(bas) This does not seem to be an ideal spot for the bishop imo, considering the offside position of the knight on a5, blacks open c-file which requires a rook on c8 after 14.d5! It blocks the bishop and has nowhere to go. In other words blacks coordination of its pieces will be a problem.} 14.d5! Rac8 {white has a edge [jb]} 15.Bd3 Nd7! {(bas) a sensible idea} 16.Nf1 Nc5?! {(bas) I had expected 16....f5 instead (probably slightly better). However, after 17.exf5, Bxd5; 18.Ne3 and 19. Ng4 white would have attacking chances.} 17.Ne3 Nxd3 18.Qxd3 g6 $16 {knight c4 would have been better [jb]} 19.b3 $14 {(bas) a very powerful move, covering the c4 square and allowing the development of white's bishop.l do not like b3 fritz16 likes a4 [jb]} Ba8 20.Ba3 {(bas) setting a trap (21.Nxe5), overlooked by Kevin} Qb6 $16 {(bas) at this pont I believed that Kevin had seen it and had set a trap for me in turn! eg. 21.Nxe5, b4; 22.Nd7,Qb7; 23.Nxf7, bxa3; and now, how was my knight to escape? Unfortunately, I missed 24. b4! trapping blacks knight.   white is clearly better [jb]} 21.Qd2?! Nb7? {(bas) it was only now that I realised that Kevin all along had been blissfully unaware of my threat...} 22.Nxe5!! Qd8 23.Nc6 Qd7 24.Ng4! Nd8? {(bas) allowing an elegant end of the game} 25.Nxe7+ Qxe7 {+7.0} 26.e5! Qh4 27.Bxd6 Nb7 {(bas) 27...Re8 also would have lost the exchance after 28.Nf6+} 28.Bxf8 Rxf8 29.Rac1 {(bas) I missed the nice and ruthless combination: 29.Nf6+, Kg7; 30.Re4, Qh6; 31.Qxh6, Kxh6; 32.Rh4+, kg5 f4+ kh4 kh2 follow by g3 mate good game by you both [jb]} h5? 30.Qh6 {(bas) an original finish} {#r}
