Nf3, Nc6, 3. Bb5 and I would hope the other player would do a7 then 4.Bxc6, bxc6 5. Nxe5. and I would be up by a pawn, But the last game I played those start moves it didn't work out right. It went like this: 1.e3, e5, 2.Nf3, e4 and the I wasn't sure what to do when my knight starts to get chased around by the pawns, so I ended up losing that game (against Louis) and decided that I should change my starting moves.} e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Bc4 Bg7 5.b3 c5? {C.B: I thought this wasn't a good move because it makes a knight outpost on d5 for my knight.} 6.d3 Nf6 7.Bg5 Qa5 8.Qd2 Ng4 9.O-O O-O 10.h3 Nf6 11.Bxf6 Bxf6 12.Nd5 {C.B: I placed my knight in the knight outpost and offered a queen trade.} Qxd2 13.Nxd2 Nd7 14.Nxf6+ Nxf6 15.Rab1 Bd7 16.b4 {C.B: I was hoping he would take the pawn and I would take back with the rook. Then my rook would be a little more active.} b5 17.Bd5 Nxd5 18.exd5 a5? 19.bxc5 dxc5 20.c4 b4 21.Ne4 Kg7 22.Nxc5 Bf5 23.Rfe1 Rfc8 24.Na4 Bxd3 25.Nb6 Bxb1 26.Rxb1 f5 27.Nxa8 Rxa8 28.d6 Kf7 29.c5 Ke6 30.Rd1 Rd8 31.f3 {C.B: I offered a draw at this point but Black refused.} a4 32.Rb1 Kd5 33.Rxb4 Kxc5 34.Rxa4 Rxd6 35.f4 {C.B: Black probably should have taken the pawn.} Rd4?? 36.Ra5+! Kd6 37.fxe5+ Ke6 38.Ra7 h5 39.Rg7 Rd1+ 40.Kh2 Rd2 41.Rxg6+ Kxe5 42.Rg5 Ke4 43.Rxh5 f4 44.Rh8 f3 45.Re8+ Kf4? 46.Rf8+ Kg5 47.Rxf3 Rxa2 48.Kg3 Ra4 49.Kf2 Kh4 50.g4 Ra2+ 51.Kg1 Kg5 52.Rf2 Rxf2 53.Kxf2 Kh4 54.Kg2 Kg5 55.Kg3 Kg6 56.h4 Kh6 57.g5+ Kh5 58.Kh3 Kg6 59.Kg4 Kg7 60.h5 Kh7 61.h6 Kg6 62.Kh4 Kh7 63.Kh5 Kh8 64.g6 Kg8 65.h7+ Kh8 66.Kg5 {C.B: Black kept on saying this was a draw by repeated moves, but I was determined to try and win.} Kg7 67.Kf5 Kh8 68.Ke6 Kg7 69.Ke7 Kh8 70.Kd8 Kg7 71.Ke7 Kh8 72.Ke6 Kg7 73.h8=Q+!!
