My Round 1 game

(1411) Tadiran (2090) - Campagnolo (2028) [C58]ICC 45 45 Internet Chess Club, 28.07.2008
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Na5 6.Bb5+ c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 8.Qf3 This is a tricky line to meet - if there is in fact a refutation to the 2 Knights Defense, it might be hidden somewhere in here. Black has to tread very carefully in order to avoid many pitfalls 8...h6 9.Ne4 Nd5 10.Ba4!? [10.Nbc3! This is what I expected -- and thought was the best move. But in hindsight Ba4 is OK too.] 10...Be7 11.d3 [11.0-0 0-0 12.d3 f5 13.Nec3 ] 11...0-0 12.0-0 f5 13.Nec3 Be6 Better is Bb7 striking along the h1-a8 diagonal. [>=13...Bb7 14.a3 (14.Re1 Nb6 15.Qg3 f4 16.Qg4 Nxa4 17.Nxa4 c5 18.Rxe5 Nc6 19.Re1 Nd4 ) 14...c5 15.Qh5 Nb6 16.Bxh6 Nxa4 17.Qg6 Rf7 18.Nxa4 f4 19.Re1 Qd7 20.Nbc3 Qc6 21.Qxc6 Nxc6 22.Bxf4 exf4 23.Ne4 Nd4 24.Rac1 f3 25.Kf1 fxg2+ 26.Kxg2 Raf8 27.Rf1 Bc6 28.Nac3 Bg5 29.Rb1 Nxc2 30.Kg1 Be7 31.Ne2 c4 32.N2g3 cxd3 33.Rbd1 Rd8 34.Rd2 Nd4 35.f4 Ne2+ 36.Nxe2 Bxe4 0-1 Van Weersel,A-Solleveld,M/Vlissingen 2003/CBM 095 ext] 14.Re1 Qc7 15.Nxd5 Bxd5?! Keeping the pawns together is stronger. The Bishop is vulnerable once the knight comes to c3 [>=15...cxd5 16.Qg3 f4 17.Qf3 Rad8© ] 16.Qh5 Rf6 17.Bd2 Bd6 18.Bc3 Kh7 19.Nd2 Rg6 20.g3 Rf8 21.b4 Nb7 22.Bb3 Nd8 23.Qe2 [23.Nc4 e4 24.Nxd6 Qxd6 25.Rad1 Rg5 26.Qe2 f4 ] 23...Nf7 24.Rab1 [24.Nc4 Ng5 ] 24...f4 25.Ne4 fxg3 26.fxg3 Bxe4 [26...Ng5! 27.Rf1 (27.Kg2 Qc8 28.Rf1 Rxf1 29.Rxf1 ) 27...Nxe4 28.dxe4 Bxb3 29.Rxb3 (29.axb3 ) 29...Rxf1+ 30.Kxf1 Rf6+ 31.Kg2 Qf7+/- ] 27.dxe4 Ng5 28.Rf1 Rgf6 29.Rxf6 Rxf6 30.Rf1 Qe7 31.Rxf6 Qxf6 32.Kg2 Qg6 33.Bc4 Qf6 [33...Kh8 34.Bd3 Ne6 35.Qf2 Nf4+ 36.Kf1 ] 34.Qg4 Bc7 35.Qf5+ Qxf5 36.exf5 Ne4 37.Be1 Nd6 38.Be6 Nb5 39.c3 a5 40.a4 Nd6 41.Bd7 Kg8 42.Bxc6 Nxf5 43.b5 Kf8 44.Bf2 Ke7 45.Kf3 Kd6 46.Bb7 Kd7 47.b6 Bd8 48.Bd5 Ne7 49.b7 Bc7 50.c4 Nc6 51.Bc5 Nb8 52.Kg4 [52.Bf8 ] 52...Ke8 53.Kf5 Na6 54.Bc6+ Kf7 55.Be3 Nb4 56.Be4 g6+ 57.Kg4 h5+ 58.Kf3 Kf6 59.Bb6 Black resigns 1-0
