[Event "BCC Championships - B Division"] [Date "2016.07.11"] [Round "11"] [White "Anna Yates"] [Black "Cassandra Barnett"] [Result "0-1"] [WhiteElo "952"] [BlackElo "1097"] [ECO "B07"] [Opening "Pirc: 2.d4"] 1.e4 d6 2.d4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.d5 e6 5.Bc4 Nf6 6.Nc3 O-O 7.O-O Re8 8.Re1 Nbd7 9.dxe6 fxe6 10.Ng5 Ne5 11.Bb3 h6 12.f4 Neg4 13.Nf3 Nh5 14.Qe2 {The game was adjourned here, after black decided the next move and sealed it. (C.B)} Qf6 {I had thought white might play e5 next.} 15.Bd2 Nxf4 16.Bxf4 Qxf4 17.g3 Qf6 18.Rf1 Qe7 19.Nh4 Qg5 20.Rf4 Qc5+ 21.Kg2 {I don't think Kg2 was all that good as I planed to move the knight next, which will now force white to make another move.} Ne3+ {I figured I had plenty of options with this, even though my knight had no place to go to next.} 22.Kh3 g5 23.Rf5 g4+ {Black may have had better options, but I was happy with forcing the trade and ending up with two rooks vs one for the end game (the two bishops being a nice bonus).} 24.Qxg4 Nxg4 25.Rxc5 dxc5 26.Kxg4 Kh7 27.Kf3 Bd7 28.Na4 Rf8+ 29.Kg2 Bxa4 30.Bxa4 Bxb2 {White could have played Rb1, getting the pawn back.} 31.Re1 Rad8 32.Re2 Rd4 33.Bb3 c4 34.c3 {c3, getting white's bishop out of the trap.} Bxc3 35.Bc2 Rfd8 36.e5+ Kg7 37.Nf3 R4d5 38.Re3 {Could have followed 38. Re3 with Rd2+ 39. Nxd2, Rxd2+ 40. Kh3, Rxc2, but all I saw was c3 hanging and was trying to keep the time level (about 16 min each) to avoid possible pressure later on (I usually need breathing space). Didn't see this line actually solves my problem.} Bd2 39.Re2 Bg5 40.h4 Bc1 41.Re4 Rd2+ {Now black sees the trade...} 42.Nxd2 Rxd2+ 43.Kh3 Rxc2 44.Rg4+ Kh7 45.h5 Rxa2 {I missed the fork, Rxc4.} 46.Rg6 {But white misses it too.} Ra6 47.Rf6 Kg7 48.Rg6+ Kf7 49.Rf6+ Ke7 {I was happy with the result after a game Rauri called 'brutal,' and to some extent I would have to agree. It was the first time I've played Anna and it was a very exciting match. Thanks for the game, Anna; I look forward to playing you again sometime in the future.} {#R} 0-1
