1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 d6 4.Nc3 g6 5.e4 Bg7 {BvR. I was glad to see the Benoni opening, which is rarely played at the club. It energised me and I decided to go for an active and attacking game without further ado..} 6.f4 a6 7.Be2 O-O 8.Nf3 Qa5?! {BvR a wasted move, really. 8..a5 was called for to develop black's queenside.} 9.O-O Nbd7 {-1.2} 10.Bd2 Qc7 11.a4 Ng4 12.h3 {BvR. i would have been happy to accept a double pawn on c3, after 12..Bxc3; and avoid the knight fork on e3} Ngf6 13.Kh1 Nh5 14.Qe1 Bh6? 15.Nh2?? {BvR Arggh, overlooking the cheap 15. g4 and g5 winning a full piece.} Bg7 16.g4 Nhf6 17.g5 Ne8 18.Ng4 f5 19.exf5 Rxf5 20.Bd3 Rf7 {BvR +4.3 I spent about 30 minutes here (22 minutes left!) to decide how to proceed. 21,Nh6, Bxh6 looks strong as it removes one of the defenders, and allowing my black bishop to join the fun via c3. Sooner or later... On the other hand, that would allow black to place his knights on f6 and f8, and unravel his traffic jam by moving his e-pawn thereby connecting his queen with the defence. I became convinced that the f5 pawn-push, but decided for a plan to allow the c3-knight, the d2-bishop and the rook on a1 to get involved.} 21.Ne4 {BvR Here I had 12 minutes remaining on the clock, and Jamie 58 minutes, using only 32 minutes, but minus the 16 minutes increments, he actually used only 16 minutes for the whole game. The time-management of both of us was extremely poor.} Nf8 22.Qh4 Bxg4 23.hxg4! {BvR =5.4 23....Bxb2; 24.Rb1, Bd4.would black give some breathing space (and a pawn!). But I was confident that 25.f5 would be the decider anyway.} Nd7? 24.f5 gxf5 25.Rxf5! Rxf5 26.gxf5 Bxb2 27.Rg1 Ne5 28.g6! {BvR +10.7.An interesting position with black threatening the knightfork on f3 and winning a bishop on d3.} hxg6 29.fxg6 Nf6 30.Nxf6+ exf6 31.Bf5 {BvR Here, lichess.com gives a +63.8 advantage after 31.Bf5, and mate in 7 moves after 31.g7} Qg7 32.Be6+ Kf8 33.Bh6 {#r}
