{584MB, Fritz11.ctg} 1.e4 b6 2.d4 Ba6 3.Bxa6 Nxa6 4.c4 c5 5.d5 Nc7 6.Nc3 g6 7.Bf4 Bg7 8.Nge2 Nf6 9.f3? {The forceful move 9.d6! would have created immediate problems for black, instead of the 'lazy' 9.f3} O-O 10.Qd2 d6 11.Bh6 Bxh6 12.Qxh6 e6 13.O-O-O e5 14.g4 Kh8! {excellent defense.} 15.h4 a6 {Preparing the counter attack} 16.h5 Ng8 17.Qe3 g5 18.a4 {White's king-side attack has gone nowhere, and white is forced to change into defense mode.} h6! {Closing all, before switching to the queenside} 19.Kb1 Qd7 20.Qd3 Rfb8 21.Rh2 b5 {Here we go, i.e black, not white(=me)} 22.cxb5 axb5 23.axb5 Nxb5 24.Nxb5 Rxb5 {It looks very menacing now, black having a healthy initiative} 25.Nc3 Rb4 26.Rc2 Qa7 27.Kc1 Rd4 {(?) now black gets distracted. For instance he could have moved his knight to the frontlines, while white is more or less paralysed.} 28.Qe2 Qa1+ 29.Nb1 Raa4? {Black should have chance his mind, playing his d4-rook back to b4 instead} 30.Rxd4 Rxd4 31.Qb5 {Grabs the opportunity to get some fresh air.} Qa7 32.Qc6 Qb8 33.Na3? {A terrible mistake, missed by both players: 33...Qb3! would have won more or less instantly, eg. 34. Rc3, Qdi mate or 34.anything else, Qxf3 etc} Rd3 34.Qb5! Qxb5 35.Nxb5 Rxf3 {From here on, white is much better, but is is hard to convert this into a win, given white's serious time-trouble.} 36.Nxd6 Rf1+ 37.Kd2 Nf6! 38.Rxc5 Nxg4 39.Nf5? {39,Rc7 or 39.b4 were much more active alternatives, attacking black's king and promoting the b- and d- pawns.} Nf6 40.Rc4? Rf2+ {40....Nxd5 or Nxe4 would have solved blacks problems} 41.Kd3 Rxb2 42.Nxh6 Rb7 43.d6 Nxh5 44.Rc7! {Now white is winning.} Nf4+ 45.Kc4? {45. Kb2! to prevent any counterplay by black. I had about 1-2 minutes on the clock, playing on increments, while Harrison still had about 1 hour!} Rb1 46.Nxf7+ Kg7! 47.Nxe5+ Kf6 48.d7? {i missed Re7!} Ne6! 49.Rc6? {Here I wasted my last chance to win in a 'regular' manner: 49.Nd3 as 49..Nxc7 would allow the d-pawn to queen} Rc1+ 50.Kb5 Rxc6 51.Nxc6 g4 52.Kc4 g3 53.Nd4 Nd8 54.Kd5 g2 55.Nf3 Ke7 {White offered a draw here.} 56.Kd4 Kxd7 57.Ke3 Kc6 58.Kf2 Kb5 59.Kxg2 Ka4 {A king on a mission...?} 60.Kg3 Kb3 61.Kf4 Nf7 62.Ng5 Nd6 63.e5 Nc4 64.e6 Nb6 65.Ke5 Nc4+ 66.Kf6 Ne3 67.Ke5 Ng4+ 68.Kd6 Nh6 69.Ne4 Kc4 70.Kd7 Kd4?? {Now black can't sacrifice his knight anymore for a draw...} 71.e7 Kxe4 72.e8=Q+ Kf5 73.Qh5+ Kf6 74.Qxh6+ Kf7 75.Qf4+ Kg8 76.Ke8 Kh8 77.Kf7 Kh7 78.Qh4# {A most unusual game, but very entertaining} {#r}
