1.f4 {I was a bit surprised to get White twice in a row, but they had
to avoid giving Joseph White three times in a row.} 1. ... d5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.e3 Bg4
4.d4 f6 5.Bb5 a6 6.Bxc6+ bxc6 7.Nbd2 e6 8.c3 c5 9.O-O c4 10.e4 Bd6 11.e5
Be7 12.Qe1 c5 13.h3 Bxf3 14.Nxf3 f5 15.Be3 Qb6 16.Qf2 Rc8 17.a4 a5 18.Ng5
h6 19.dxc5 Bxc5 20.Bxc5 Rxc5 21.Nxe6 Qxe6? 22.Qxc5 g5 23.Rad1 Ne7 24.Qb5+
Kf7 25.fxg5 hxg5 26.Rfe1 g4 27.Qxa5 {I figured his Kingside attack would
not amount to much, my King would be safe in front of a "roadblock" Black
pawn, and that I would win with my passed pawns on the Queenside.} 27. ... gxh3
28.g3 h2+ 29.Kh1 f4 30.gxf4? {Whoa! I needed to do Qc7 followed by Qd6 to
get my Queen into play or trade it off.} 30. ... Qg4 31.Rf1 {I now expected
31. ... Nf5 threatening mate, which would allow 32. Qxd5+ with rescue and counterplay.
But instead he did the absolutely obvious move which I had absolutely overlooked.}
31. ... Rg8 {White resigned, 0-1. Can't stop the mate threats on both g2 and g1.}
0-1
