[Event "Spielvogel Memorial"] [Site "Mechanics Institute"] [Date "2017.02.23"] [Round "5"] [White "Harrison Harrison"] [Black "Rodney Jacobs"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "1642"] [BlackElo "1721"] [ECO "B01"] [Opening "Scandinavian: Icelandic Gambit"] 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.c4 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.Qa4+ {Deviating from book. Usual is cd or d4. (RJ)} Bd7 6.Qb3 Bc6? {The engines indicate d4!. Of course if then Qxb2, Bc6. Now it's even again. (RJ)} 7.d4 Be7 {After the game Harrison felt I had a win with Qe7ch. It is the best move, but only marginally. The programs indicate it gives Black only a small advantage. (RJ)} 8.Nf3 O-O 9.c5 Nbd7 10.Bd3 Re8 11.O-O b6 12.cxb6 cxb6? {As I made the move I saw the resultant position, and knew I had made a mistake. Now the Black d pawn is also isolated. If Black recaptures with the a pawn, he can soon comfortably play c5 and get good play in the centre. (RJ)} 13.Qc2 Rc8? {Be6 is much better. (RJ)} 14.Ba6! Rc7?? {Again my hand moved before my brain, and I saw the disaster as I put the rook down. Rb8 and White has a comparatively small advantage. (RJ)} 15.Bf4 {Ah yes. (RJ)} Bb7 16.Bxc7 Qxc7 17.Bd3 {Black's problem is not just the loss of the exchange. His c7 square is so weak that the position just collapses. (RJ)} h5 {A token 'attack', basically rubbish. (RJ)} 18.Rac1 Ng4 19.Nxd5? {All a bit embarrassing, but typically Harrison - odd opening moves followed by imaginative, dynamic play. (RJ)} {#r} 1-0
