[Event "Euroka 09"] [Site "BCC"] [Date "2009.12.12"] [Round "0"] [White "John Lavery"] [Black "Rob Loveband"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "D05"] [Opening "Colle: 3...e6 4.Bd3"] {Annotations by Chessmaster} 1.d4 {A40 Queen's Pawn Opening.} d5 {D00 Queen's Pawn Game 1.d4 d5. Black answers symmetrically, challenging the center directly.} 2.Nf3 {D02 Grunfeld Reversed. A solid opening move, delaying c2-c4 to avoid the Queen's Gambit.} Nf6 {D02 Grunfeld Reversed / Symmetrical Variation. This is one of those ultimately flexible positions where little is ruled out, and almost any Attack/Defense may be yet employed: Queen's Gambit, Colle System, Catalan System.} 3.e3 {D04 Grunfeld Reversed / Colle System. With this move, the Colle system is observable. Its premise is that, with the first move, White can develop his Kingside quickly, hold the center and initiate an attack on the enemy King, starting with e4.} e6 {D05 Grunfeld Reversed / Colle System / Variation.} 4.Bd3 {D05 Grunfeld Reversed / Colle System / Zukertort Variation.} b6 {Out of Opening Book. c5 would have been in the Grunfeld Reversed / Colle System / Zukertort Variation book opening.} 5.Nbd2 Be7 6.O-O Ba6 7.c4 O-O 8.b3 Nbd7 9.Bb2 Rc8 10.Qe2 c5 11.Ne5 cxd4 12.exd4 Bb7 13.f4 Bb4 14.Ndf3 Re8 {Slightly better is Ne4.} 15.Ng5 Re7 16.Rac1 h6 17.Ngf3 Ne4 18.Nxd7 Qxd7 19.Ne5 Qe8 20.f5 exf5 21.Rxf5 f6 22.Bxe4 dxe4 {Creates a passed pawn on e4.} 23.Ng4 Qg6 24.Ne3 Rd8 25.Rcf1 Bc8 26.Rd5 Red7 27.Rxd7 Rxd7 28.Nf5 Bb7 29.d5 Bc5+ 30.Kh1 e3 31.Bd4 Bxd4 32.Nxd4 Re7 33.Nf5 Re5 34.Nxe3 Qe4 35.Re1 f5 36.Qf3 Qxf3 37.gxf3 f4 38.Nc2 Rxe1+ 39.Nxe1 b5 40.Nd3 bxc4 41.bxc4 g5 42.Kg2 Kf8 43.Kf2 Ke7 44.Ke2 Ba6 45.Nb2 Kd6 {Slightly better is h5.} 46.Kd3 h5 47.Kd4 {Slightly better is Ke4.} g4 48.c5+ Kd7 49.Ke4 {Leads to 49...g3 50.hxg3 fxg3 51.Ke3 h4 52.f4 h3 53.Kf3 h2 54.Kg2 Bf1+ 55.Kh1 Be2 56.c6+ Kd6 57.Kg2 Kxd5, which wins a pawn for two pawns.
