Malahide (5), 2001
[notes by Joe Ryan]

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.Nf3 Bd7 8.a4 Qa5 9.Bd2 Nbc6 10.Be2 f6 11.0-0 c4 An old line with a long history 12.Kh1?! But this I don't understand at all. 12.exf6 or 12.Re1 are normal. 12...0-0-0 13.exf6 gxf6 14.Qb1 [14.Nh4 Ng6] 14...e5 15.Qb5 Qc7 16.Qc5 Bg4 17.Be3 h5 18.a5 Bxf3! 19.Bxf3 e4 20.Be2 f5








White has drifted a bit in the opening and Black now has the initiative. 21.Bg5?! 21.f4 I think had to be played for better or worse, although Black then has an excellent game of course. 21...f4 22.h4 Rdf8 23.Rfe1 Rf5 24.Bf1 Kb8 25.Rab1 f3 26.g3








26...Rxg5! 27.hxg5 h4 A dream position for Black. 28.g4 Nxa5 29.Qa3 Ka8 30.Rb5 b6 31.Bh3 Rg8 32.g6 Nxg6 33.g5 Nf4 34.Bg4 Qd8 35.Rxa5 The best hope in a rotten position 35...bxa5 36.Qc5 Qb6 37.Qe7 Qd8 38.Qc5 Rg6 39.Bf5 Rb6 40.Rg1 e3!-+








41.fxe3 Ne2 42.Rg4 Ng3+ 43.Kh2 Nxf5 44.Rf4 Ne7 45.Rxf3 Qd6+ 46.Qxd6 Rxd6 47.Kh3 a4 48.Kxh4 a3 49.Rf1 Re6 50.Ra1 Ra6 51.Kg4 Kb7 52.Kf4 Kc6 53.e4 dxe4 54.Kxe4 Kd6 55.d5 Nxd5 56.Kd4 Ne7 57.Kxc4 a2 58.Kb5 Rb6+ 59.Ka4 Rb2 60.Ka3 Rxc2 61.Ka4 Kc5 62.g6 Nxg6 63.Ka3 Re2 64.Rg1 Ne5 65.Kb3 Kb5 66.Rh1 a5 67.Rg1 a4+ 68.Ka3 Nc4#
