{0MB, Fritz11.ctg, MINE} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. Nf3 O-O 6.
e3 Nbd7 7. Bd3 {Normally I play Rc1, but I tried something else this time.} c5
(7... dxc4 8. Bxc4 c5 9. O-O a6 {Queens gambit accepted transposition}) 8.
cxd5 {Preventing the isolated d4 pawn.} exd5 (8... Nxd5 9. Bxe7 Nxe7 10. O-O
cxd4 11. exd4) 9. Rc1 {Allows Bb1 instead of c2 after blacks move c4} cxd4
10. exd4 {Slightly better then to recapture with the Knight. Controls the c5 &
e5 square, preventing th Nights to jump in to the e4 square.} Re8 11. O-O $16
h6 12. Bf4 {Much better then Bh4, as it controls c7 which is a nice field for
the white Horse} Qa5 ? {A move out of the top ten. A move I will quickly exploit !}
13. Nb5 Rf8 14. Nc7 Rb8 15. Re1 {Possibly not the best move, but as I'm only human....}
Bb4 16. Re2 {Now Black can't take on a2, as after Ra1 the queen is trapped !} g5 ?! {
the only move worth considering is 16 ... Nh5} 17. Bg3 g4 ?! (17... Nh5 18. a3
Nxg3 19. fxg3 Bd6) 18. Ne5 Nxe5 (18... Bd6 ?? 19. Nxd7) 19. Bxe5 {Assesment of
the position: Rb8 is in trouble, No Rook connection on the 8th rank, Knight on d7 is blocking
Bc8 , the queen has no play. the kings castle is broken. White has a nearly
doubled rook and indirect attack on g4. Nc7 is well defended with Rc1. The
postion for black is hopeless.} Nd7 {Be7 was better but black has troubles for sure !}
20. Bf4 Rd8 (20... Nf6 ?? 21. a3 {and the bishop is trapped.}) 21. Re8+ {Now we go into tactics.
The move opens the diagonal d1-g4 and the retake of Ne8 is an attack on Rb8 . The Night
will give support to the Queen and the black monarch will run into Checks with
no defense at all. White has to play in such way that no pieces can retreat !}
Rxe8 22. Nxe8 Ra8 23. Qxg4+ {After Kh8, Qg7+ and Checkmate} Kf8 24. Nc7 Nb6 {
Attacks my Queen but his Knight was much better placed on f6. Now I will mate
the Conny.} 25. Bxh6+ Ke7 26. Qg5+ f6 27. Qg7+ Kd8 28. Qg8+ {
I didn't want any retreat like Be7.... but nevertheless...} (28. Qxf6+ Be7 29.
