1.d4 d5 {I was expecting a Benoni...(P.C.)} 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e3 c6 6.Nf3 Nbd7 7.Rc1 h6 8.Bh4 Nf8 $14 {I haven't seen this before...clearly the N is heading for g6...it strikes me as a bit artificial (P.C.)} 9.Bd3 dxc4 10.Bxc4 Ng6 11.Bg3 Qa5 12.O-O h5 $16 {white is better he's attack looks pointless when he hasn't got he's pieces into action [jb]} 13.h3 h4 14.Bh2 b5 {white is clearly better [jb]} 15.Bd3 Nf8 $18 {white is winning now you can see knight f8 to g6 was pointless [jb]} 16.Ne4 $18 {your killing him [jb]} Bb7 {16...Qxa2 17.Rxc6 Qxb2 looks OK for Black (P.C.) nope black likes knight d7 which is logic it makes sense to get that knight back into action like they say Patrick see a pawn and takes it} 17.a3 N8d7 18.Qd2 Qxd2 19.Nfxd2 {White offered a draw...given the tournament situation, I knew he would decline. A genuine psychological draw offer! (P.C.) he should have took the draw your winning but he;s a fighter your not [jb]} Nxe4 20.Nxe4 f5 21.Nd6+! {21.Nc5...would result in the c file being blocked.

Ba6? {A waste of time...Black's best chance was 29...cxb5 30.Rxc7 Bxf3 (P.C.)} 30.Rbc5 Bb7 31.b4 a6 32.a4 f4 33.b5 axb5 34.axb5 fxe3 35.fxe3 Kf8 36.Bxc6 Bxc6 37.Rxc6 Rdxc6 38.Rxc6 Rxc6 39.bxc6 Ke7 40.e4 Kd6 41.d5 g5 42.Kf2 {Another victim of Patrick's Curse!
