    1. e4 e6

    2. d4 d5

    3. Nc3 Nf6

    4. Bg5 Bb4

    5. e5 h6

    6. Bd2 Bxc3

    7. bxc3 Ne4

    8. Bd3

    {Correct is Qg4 after the text black is equal, If not better.}

    8... Nxd2

    9.Qxd2 c5

    10. Nf3 Nc6

    11. O-O Qa5

    12. Rfd1

    {Passive, but after Dxc5 Qxc5 the C pawns are a chronic weakness for which white does not have enough compensation.}

    12... O-O

    13. c4 Qxd2

    14. Rxd2 dxc4

    15. Bxc4 cxd4

    16. Bb5 Bd7

    17. Bxc6 Bxc6

    18. Nxd4 Rfd8

    19. Rad1

    {as a result of whites passive play he is now in a inferior ending (BvsN and 3 pawn islands against 2)}

    19... Bd5

    {?! This allows white a shot which fixes his positional problems, Be8 was better}

    20. Nxe6 fxe6
    21. c4 Rac8

    22. cxd5 exd5

    23. f4

    {(Of course not RxP?? RxR RxR Rc1+ with mate
    to follow) the smoke clears and white now stands better- His E pawn is
    protected passed, while blacks D pawn is quite the weakling, however dueto
    blacks queenside majority he should be assured a draw with accurate play}

    23... Rc5

    24. Kf2 Kf7

    25. f5

    {!? Very commital and somewhat premature- but good, the pawns have a cramping effect.}

    25... d4
    26. Re1 Rcd5

    27. Kf3 d3

    28. Kf4

    {Stronger was Re4 followed by Ke3 tying black up some more and freeing one of whites rooks.}
    28... g5+

    {?? After this white should win without much trouble- The connected passed pawns are too strong. Better was Rc8.}

    29.Kf3 Rc8

    30. Re3 Rcd8

    {passive but Rc7 2.RdxD3 RxR 3. RxR RxA2 4. RD7+ Ke7 5. Rxb7 is too depressing}

    31. e6+ Ke7

    32. g4 h5

    33. h3 hxg4+

    {?! This opens the H File for one of the white rooks to penetrate on, but even on 33. ... H4 34. RE1 and Rc8 (or C5)  35. Ke3! when black must lose a pawn or allow white to penetrate on the C file. (Rc2 is met by RED1)}

    34. hxg4 b5

    35. Re1 a5

    36. Rh1 b4

    37. Rh7+ Kf6

    38. Rf7+ Ke5

    39. e7 Re8

    40. Ke3

    {the immediate F6 was possible too, but this is simpler.}

    40... Rd6

    41. Rxd3 Rf6

    42. Rh7

    {!? RxR! KxR 2. RD6+ KxP 3. Re6+ Kd7 (or f7) 4. RxR! with a winning king and pawn ending, but the text leads to a more flashy win.}

    42... Rc6

    43. f6

    {! Rxf6 Rd8! or KxF6 Rh6+ black must lose a rook.}

    43... Rcc8

    44. f7 Rxe7

    {Instead of resigning.}

    45.f8=Q

    {With both rooks on pre and mate in one threatened, Black Resigned.} 1-0

    The following game is of significantly lower quality, but rather entertaining.

    [White "Teodoro Padores"]

    [Result "0-1"]

    1. e4 e5

    2. Nf3 Nc6

    3. Bb5 a6

    4. Ba4 d6

    5. h3

    {?! It doesn't take a russain
    school boy to know this is bad.}

    5... Bd7

    6. c3 Nf6

    7. Bc2 g6

    { D5, was alsopossible, and probably better but i wanted to play a familiar position}

    8. d4 Qe7

    9. O-O Bg7

    10. Re1 O-O

    11. Nbd2 Nh5

    12. Nf1 Nf4

    13. Bxf4

    {?! this gives black the Bishop pair and strengths the G7 Bishop which is often a problem peice for black in these positions.}

    13... exf4

    14. N1h2 h5

    { eccentric but not bad, G5 came into consideration.}

    15. Qd2 g5

    16. Qd3

    {!? Clever, E5 is
    threatend with great effect}

    16... Be5

    {???! absolutely horrible, but not without pizaz. a purely prophylactic sacrifice that allows Black to continue his kingside play while stopping blacks play in the center. It solves blacks problems but gives up a peice for not nearly enough. The normal (and much better) move here would be G5! and if 17. E5 Re8 18. Qh7+ Kf8 and despite the mighty power of whites check he is in a difficult position for his poor opening play. When I played this move I offered a draw and couldn't contain mylaughter, to my surprise my opponent declined.}

    17. dxe5 dxe5

    18. Nd2 g4

    19. Kh1 Kh7

    {!! the point of Be5 is clear! The H7 square!}

    20. g3 f3

    21. h4

    { with the words "I'm sorry" implying my sacrifice was lousy.}

    21... Rad8

    {Threatening F5} 22. Qe3 Qf6 23. a4 {? the question mark is not for this move
    only but for whites generally aimless play over the next few moves.} 23... Rg8
    24. b4 Ne7 25. a5 Ng6 26. Bb3 { Black is happy to see Qg5 QxQ 2. PxQ when the G pawn will fall and there are some middlegame themes on the H file in the
    ending- Though white is still better.} 26... Nxh4 27. gxh4 Qxh4 {At last 10
    moves and another sac later black gets some play for Be5!}

    28. Ndf1

    {???? The worst possible move. After Rg1 or Bxf7 white still
    has a relatively easy win.}

    28... Qh3

    { With the words "sorry". Fortunately i was able to contain my laughter until after I left the Tournament hall. Qxf3 PxQ 2. Ne3 Rg2 with mate on the next move or Qh6 Kxh6 2. Ne3 G3 and white will not last long.}
