My immortal

Here is my game.

It was played in a national open tournament in Jan 1988 just after I completed high school.

I placed in the top ten, won 5 prizes in the tournament, including this one for best game.

My opponent was a member of the national team and had played in a few olympiads.

I had lost a previous game as black playing the QGD Cambridge springs variation.

I was flicking through a book that afternoon and played over a Kings Indian game, so I decided to play it for the first time ever.

Under lots of pressure during the game, Bd7 was wrong, Nc4 by white was wrong, he thought I had to play Ra7 then he would play Rxf6 winning.

I never even saw that line because I planned Qa7 pinning the knight, he almost knocked over his king when he moved out of the pin and I thought, I got you

Pushed this game through an engine today, first time ever, funny thing is that when I played Bh6 I just did that because it was the only active move and I had been under pressure for so long, the engine gives it as the best move.

Almost every black piece is hanging during the attack on the white king.

The game was in the newspaper, blah, blah.

Only played very little after that tournament due to work and study.

Basically that was the end of serious competitive chess for me

"Under lots of pressure during the game, Bd7 was wrong"
Why is 14. ... Bd7 wrong? I do not see that. Without it white might have played 25. Nc4
The joy of playing OTB is you catch the very moment of *bust* (19. ... Qa7) as the other player often literally slumps in their chair.  So he goes after the open c-file ( Rc7 ) but you have the king's bishop moving twice with tempo. Then your knight, bishop, rook and queen converge on a king with only the bishop anywhere near.  It is mating at 23. ... Rxf8

Hi man

It was my first ever KID in a tournament and I did not really know what to play

I just remember spending quite a bit of time on this move, more than 10 minutes.

In later years when I played over KID grandmaster games I noticed that the light squared bishop usually just sits on c8 to shore up the queenside, control f5 and point over to the white kingside.

I just checked with the engine, analyse button, and it turns out that I was wrong, Bd7 is actually fine as you pointed out, it is the second choice of the engine.

I also spent a long time on Be3, about 20 minutes, but it turns out that Nf2+ is much stronger winning by force.

In post game analysis my opponent said that he missed both Queen moves, Qa7 and Qe3.

Thanks for playing over the game man

Flicking through OTB games does not reveal the amount of brain power that has gone into a given move. Since landing a piece on e3 is a classic theme in this opening ... Be3 looks obvious but misses the well I could lose both knights if there is something I am not seeing.
Let alone the strain of trying to see the board five or six moves ahead.
As it turned out the viewer of the game today knows it is mate in 11 or quicker if white plays 26. Kg1 ( Ne4, get the bishop out of the way with checks and get the queen into the heart of white's open king side ). 
"I placed in the top ten, won 5 prizes in the tournament, including this one for best game."
Yes and well deserved too!!

The kid likes it too, that's cool.

Thank you guys.
