O-O Bb7 10. f5 with white's initiative... 8... b5 9. axb5 axb5 10. Ba2?? A losing move. The simple Bb3 would have given him a good game 10... Bb7? Fails to take advantage of the offer: 10...

The alternatives would have given him even less of a chance: 15. Nxf7 Nxf7 16. Qxe6+ Qe7 17. Qxf7+ Qxf7 18. Bxf7+ Kxf7 19. Rxa8 Bxa8-+ 15... Rxa1 16. Nde4 Bxe4 17. Nxe4 Be7 I was quie happy with this simplifying move during the game, but it turns out that tackling matters head-on would have been OK too. Well, OK for a computer, but who knows what would have happened over the board!? 17... fxe6 18. Qxe6+ Be7 19. Nd6+ (19. f5 Nxf5 20. Rxf5 (20. Nf6+ Kf8 21. Bh6+ Nxh6 22. Rxa1 Bxf6 23. exf6 Nd5 24.

A brilliant move which gets white right back into the game. I went into a deep think here and coame out with 3 minutes remaining for 8 moves.... 22... Rxc1 22... gxf5 23. Bg5 Rxf1+ 24. Kxf1 Nd5 25.
