If the rest of us tried this stuff, we'd be slaughtered in 15 moves. (RJ)} Nf6 5.Bb2 Bb4+ 6.Kc1 O-O 7.a3 Bd6 8.Nc3 Re8 9.f3 a6 10.g4 d4 11.exd4 exd4 12.Ne4 Bf4+ 13.Kb1 Nd5 14.Be2 Ne3 15.Qe1 f5 {I thought for about 10-15 minutes here, worrying about a Kingside attack by Harrison, involving advancing the g and h pawns, supported by his black bishop, knight at e4 and rook. I was very happy to find this odd-looking move, aimed at stopping the pawn roller, getting my bishop out and moving the White knight from its dominating post.. (RJ)} 16.Nh3 Be5 17.gxf5 Bxf5 18.Nhf2 Bf4 19.Nd1 Nd5 20.Qf2 a5 21.Rg1 Ne3 22.c3 Nxd1 23.Rxd1 Be3 24.Qg2 Re6 {The rook is really useful here, and can swing to either side. (RJ)} 25.Rh1 Rg6 26.Qf1 b5 27.a4 Rb8 28.Bd1 dxc3 29.Bxc3 Bd4 30.Qe1 Be6 31.Kc1 Nb4 32.Bc2 Rg2 33.Bxb4 Bxa1 {Swapping a powerful bishop for a hemmed-in rook. I think that, given the choice again, I'd take the bishop, after which Black dominates the Black squares, especially around White's King. (RJ)} 34.Bc5 bxa4 35.bxa4 Rb2 {A pointless move in time trouble. (RJ)} 36.Nd2 Qd5 37.Bf2 Rb8 38.Nc4 Bf7 39.Rg1 Rxg1 {Black has 2 minutes on clock, White about 15. (RJ)} 40.Qxg1 Re8 41.Qg3 Bc3 42.Be3 Bg6 43.Bb3 Kh8 44.Qxc7 {White also only has about 2 minutes left now. (RJ)} Qxd3 45.Nd6 Qxe3+ 46.Kd1 Qd2# 0-1
