But White's accurate, forceful play from this point, creating a strong, fluid centre, puts paid to that idea.} 10.a3 Nc7 11.f3! {Odd looking, but Deep Shredder says is best. (RJ)} Bh3 12.e4 Bxg2 13.Kxg2 dxe4 14.fxe4 Be7 15.Be3 O-O 16.Qc2 Ng4 17.Bg1 Rad8 18.Rad1 Bg5 19.Nf4 Bxf4 20.Rxf4 Nf6 21.Be3 {Deep Shredder prefers Rf3} Ng4 22.Bc1 Rfe8 23.Rdf1! {Acccording to analysis by Deep Shredder, white has built up a .79 advantage without any real error by black. (RJ)} Nf6 24.e5 Ncd5? {Nfd5 was necessary. But black's of course in trouble anyway (RJ)} 25.exf6 {According to Deep Shredder, Rh4 was even stronger (RJ)} Nxf4+ 26.Rxf4 Re1? {g6 is better (although black is lost) - Deep Shredder (RJ) At least this complicates things a little.} 27.Rh4 g6 28.Qd2 Qe6 29.Qh6 {Devastating, but Deep Shredder and the analysis program on Microbase say Ne4 is best. (RJ)} Re2+? {Qxf6 is best, while still clearly lost. Black doesn't in fact have a perpetual check (RJ)} 30.Nxe2?? {Weirdly, and as was missed by both of us on post-game analysis, this was White's critical error. Necessary is 30. Kg1! (Deep Shredder) There follows 30......Re1ch 31. Kf2 and there is no perpetual (RJ)} Qxe2+ {Now black has a perpetual} 31.Kh3?? {Turning a win to a draw to a loss. The king must now go to g1 (RJ)} Qf1+ 32.Kg4 Qf5# {All very unfortunate for Jeremy after outplaying me throughout. (RJ) Thanks for the analysis Rod. Lost focus after making the first blunder. A good lesson. (JL)} 0-1
