1. a3 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 Nbd7 4. d4 Nb6 {An interesting idea to bring out the
c8 bishop, but not sure if it’s correct here.} 5. Bg2 Bf5 6. O-O e6 7. Nbd2 h6
8. c4 c6 (8... dxc4 9. Nxc4 Nxc4 10. Qa4+ c6 11. Qxc4 Bd6 {Black is quite
solid, but no problems for white either.}) 9. b3 (9. a4 {might have been more
interesting, threatening a5-a6}) (9. c5 Nbd7 10. b4 {equal position, probably
I’d prefer black since I’m more familiar with the black plans}) 9... Be7 10.
Re1 Nbd7 11. Bb2 O-O 12. Ne5 Qc7 13. Nxd7 $6 {my idea was to play e4 after,
but later realised e4 might not be very good, so Nxd7 was unnecessary} Qxd7 14.
e3 (14. e4 Nxe4 15. Nxe4 Bxe4 16. Bxe4 dxe4 17. Rxe4 Bf6 {black is just
slightly better, no easy plan for white.}) (14. f3 {was another move I had
considered} Bh7 15. e4 dxe4 16. fxe4 {but I was worried about a long term
weakness for my king} e5 {looked quite scary.}) 14... Rad8 15. Qe2 Qc7 16. Rac1
$6 {now the white plan is c5-b4 and expand on the queenside, so the rook might
be better placed on a1} (16. c5 {or}) (16. b4 {would most likely be better
moves.}) 16... a5 17. c5 Bh7 (17... b6 $5 18. b4 Ra8 {and now the rook is bad
on c1.}) 18. b4 Nd7 19. Bc3 a4 20. b5 (20. e4 {now that black has called back
the knight, e4 could be interesting to open the position in the center}) 20...
Rfe8 $2 (20... b6 21. cxb6 Nxb6 22. Ba5 {were my thoughts during the game,
with advantage for white, but Stockfish suggests} Qa7 23. Bxb6 Qxb6 24. Rxc6
Qa5 {with counterplay for black.}) 21. b6 Qb8 22. Qd1 (22. f4 {might be a good
way to stop black from pushing e5 later in the game.}) 22... Qa8 23. Nf3 (23.
f4 {again.}) 23... e5 24. Bh3 e4 25. Nd2 {and now it seems like black is too
slow with creating an attack.} f5 26. Rb1 Rf8 27. Rb4 f4 $2 {a desperate way
to create counterplay, which is easily refuted simply by taking.} ({But also
after} 27... g5 28. Rxa4 Qc8 29. Ra7 Rf7 $18 {black is way too slow to do
anything}) 28. exf4 g5 29. fxg5 Bxg5 30. f4 exf3 31. Nxf3 Nf6 (31... Rxf3 {
during the game I felt like this was black’s best way to continue the fight}
32. Qxf3 Nf6 {but like the engine suggests} 33. Be6+ Kh8 34. h4 {and black can
resign}) 32. Nxg5 hxg5 33. Bd2 Ne4 34. Rxa4 Qxa4 (34... Qb8 35. Rxe4 Bxe4 36.
Qh5 {was my idea during the game, black has no way to defend}) 35. Qxa4 {
unfortunately doesn’t give enough.} Nxd2 36. Bg2 Be4 37. Qd1 {and now it’s
simply a matter of time before white finds a way to get to the black king} Nf3+
38. Bxf3 Rxf3 39. Rf1 Rxa3 40. Qc1 Rda8 41. Qxg5+ Kh8 42. Qe7 Kg8 43. Qf7+ Kh8

{At this point it was the last round of the tournament, playing 2nd seat of
the tournament who had come back after a tough start, I needed a win to secure
tournament victory, only if board 2 (Felix Blohberger – Milton Pantzar) made a
draw for me a draw would be enough too.} 1. g3 g6 2. Bg2 Bg7 3. Na3 $6 {
Definitely not the best square for the knight, but for sure in the spirit of
my earlier white games.} d5 4. d3 (4. c4 {could’ve been an improvement on the
game, the only way to justify 3.Na3.} c6 5. d4 Nf6 6. Nf3) 4... Nf6 5. Nf3 O-O
6. O-O c5 {now we have reached a position which I have played many times with
reversed colours, with the knight still on b1. White has many ways to play.} 7.
Bf4 Nc6 8. Ne5 Qb6 $6 (8... Nh5 {will end up with a better version of the game.
} 9. Nxc6 bxc6 10. Bc1 {and now the bishop is worse on c1 compared to the game
where it was on e5.}) 9. Nxc6 bxc6 10. Be5 Bh6 $5 {idea is to kick away the
bishop from e5 without having to exchange dark squared bishops.} 11. Rb1 Be6
12. c4 d4 {now the white bishop on e5 has some problems, going back to f4
severely weakens the white pawn structure, so most likely white has to give
the bishop for the black knight.} 13. Bxf6 (13. Nc2 Ng4 14. Bf4 Bxf4 15. gxf4
Qc7 16. e3 Rfd8 {the white pawns are quite weak.}) 13... exf6 14. Qa4 Rfc8 15.
Bf3 ({I had considered} 15. b4 $5 {during the game, but thought e2 would
become a problem after} Bg4 {but now white has} 16. b5 Bxe2 17. bxc6 Bxf1 18.
Kxf1 $18 {and the black pieces are terribly placed.}) 15... a5 16. Nc2 f5 17.
e3 (17. Na1 {was a possible option, but felt like I would not have a chance to
break with e3 or a3 b4 if I put the knight on b3}) 17... dxe3 18. fxe3 Bg7 19.
Rfd1 Qc7 20. Qa3 Bf8 21. Qc3 h5 22. d4 cxd4 23. exd4 (23. Nxd4 {A much better
way to recapture the pawn on d4, keeps control of the important f4 square.} Bd7
24. c5 {was what I had seen during the game, but I didn’t like it very much.})
23... f4 24. Be4 Rab8 25. b3 Bg7 (25... fxg3 26. Qxg3 Bd6 27. Qg2 {looks scary
for white, but not easy to find a strong plan/break for black.}) 26. Rf1 fxg3
27. Qxg3 Qd7 28. Rbd1 Bg4 29. Bf3 Bh3 (29... Bf5 {is what I thought black had
to play, after} 30. Ne3 Bxd4 {I simply missed} 31. Kh1 {which solves most
problems for white.}) 30. Bg2 Bf5 (30... Bxg2 31. Qxg2 {black should be better
because of the weak king and bishop vs knight, but it’s not so easy.}) 31. Rf2
({Again} 31. Ne3 Bxd4 32. Kh1 {and white is doing fine.}) 31... Be6 (31... Bxc2
32. Rxc2 Bxd4+ 33. Kh1 c5 34. Bd5 {black is a pawn up but white might have
some chances to defend over the white squares.}) 32. Kh1 a4 33. d5 {white
needs to try to create some counterplay or exchange pieces, otherwise black
will enter the position at some point.} cxd5 34. Bxd5 axb3 35. axb3 Bxd5+ 36.
Rxd5 Qb7 37. Rf3 (37. Qf3 {Would be better, activating the queen and unpinning
the rook at the same, I missed this move, but played it later in the game.} Rc7

Rb8 40. Rd3 Qa7 41. Ne3 {trying to activate the knight for some counterplay.}
Rcb7 42. Nd5 Qc5 $2 ({Here black can enter the position with} 42... Rxb3 $1 43.
Rxb3 Rxb3 44. Ne7+ {and here I decided to stop my calculations and I felt
comfortable, but it’s too early since black has} Qxe7 45. Qxb3 Qe1+ 46. Kg2 Bd4
{and black is winning because of the unsafe white king.} 47. Rf4 {only move to
stop Qg1-Qg4 mate} Qd2+ 48. Kf3 Qf2+ 49. Ke4 f5+ {and black wins}) 43. Nf6+

47. R8d7 Qc8 48. Qf3 (48. R2d6 $1 {and black can not stop the threat of Qxg6+
followed by Rxg6 Rh6 perpetual check.}) 48... Qa6 49. Kg2 Qa3 50. R2d3 (50. Rf2

f2, would lose to} 56. Qh6 {and there is no way to stop Rd8}) 56. Qf4 Qe2 57.
Qf3 (57. Rf3 f5 {and the positions remains better for black according to
Stockfish, but white has some chances to create counterplay against the black
king.}) 57... Qe5 58. Rd5 Qe1 $2 (58... Qb2 $1 {Rf6-Rf2 is a winning threat.})
59. Rd1 Re3 {to be honest I missed Re3 but I had seen similar rook endgames in
my calculations before and was quite sure it would be a draw.} 60. Rxe1 Rxf3+
61. Kg2 ({A logical square for the king would be} 61. Kh4 $2 {but the king
will most likely be mated.} Kg7) 61... Rxb3 62. Rc1 Kf8 63. c5 Rb2+ $6 {
gives white a useful tempo to improve the king.} (63... Ke7 {would be a better
try, although} 64. c6 Rb8 65. c7 Rc8 66. Kg3 Kd7 67. Rd1+ Kxc7 68. Rf1 f5 69.
Kh4 {and the black king is too far to win this endgame.}) 64. Kg3 Ke7 65. c6

confident that I would draw this game!} 1/2-1/2
