(3) Heard,A - Goater,K [A40] Dorset Closed (5), 31.01.2010 [Heard,Andy] 1024MB, Fritz11.ctg, ELONEX 1.d4 b6 2.Nf3 g6 3.e3 Bg7 4.Bd3 Bb7 5.0-0 e6 6.Nbd2 d6 7.c3 Nd7 8.Qe2 a6 9.b4 Ne7 10.a4 Nd5 11.Bb2 0-0 12.b5 a5 13.Rac1 f5 14.c4 Fritz doesn't like this, but don't I have to get on and do something? 14...Nb4 15.e4 Nxd3 16.Qxd3 f4 [16...e5 ] 17.Ba3 g5 18.h3 h5 Complicated! After a lot of thought Fritz agrees with my continuation, though I'd be wondering about e5 and even d5 (one's OK, the other isn't) 19.c5 Kevin thought for ages here. 19...bxc5 20.dxc5 and for even longer here. 20...g4? [20...dxc5 21.Qc4 was what I'd planned. (21.Nxg5 Qxg5 22.Qxd7 Fritz thinks this is playable, but it's not a move a human would want to engage with at the board. Black's attack looks scary.) ] 21.c6 gxf3 22.cxb7 Rb8 23.Nxf3 Rxb7 I've now got a solid plus and black's attack has dissipated. But what now? 24.e5?! Well, that's what Fritz say; but I liked the complications generated for my opponent, who by now was well behind on the clock. 24...Nxe5 25.Nxe5 Bxe5 26.Qg6+ Kh8 27.Qxh5+ Kg7 28.Qf3 Ra7 29.Rc6 Qg5 30.Rfc1 Rf7 31.Ra6 Rxa6? 32.bxa6 Bd4 33.Rb1 [33.Bb2! I'd considered this and couldn't see anything wrong with it; but it's the kind of move that can go so easily wrong. Pity, though, as it would have led to an exceptionally rare position with 3 Qs on the board! 33...Bxb2 34.a7 Bxc1 35.a8Q ] 33...e5 34.Rb7 d5 35.a7 e4 36.Qg4 Qxg4 37.hxg4 Bxa7 38.Rxa7 e3 39.Kf1 Kg6 40.Rxa5 c6 41.Rc5 Kg5 42.f3 Rh7 43.Rxc6 d4 44.Re6 Kh4 45.Re5 Kg3 46.Rh5 e2+ 47.Kxe2 Ra7 48.Kf1 1-0
