{Termination "White king mated" Mode "ICS" DateLastMove "2007.12.14"
Board "4329911"}
1.g3 d5 2.Nf3 c5 3.Bg2 Nc6 4.e3 e6 5.d4 Bd6
{With the placement of his pawns on the dark squares, this was not the best move.
Better would have been Nf6 or Be7, developing the night or giving the
bishop better moblity.}
6.O-O Nf6 7.b3 b6 8.Bb2 O-O 9.Nc3
{He missed his chance to defend against Ba6. Qe2 is a stronger move.}
9...Ba6 10.Re1 c4 11.e4
{He's started to take control of the game. I should have exchanged my c-pawn for his d-pawn instead of over extending my pawn chain.}
11...Nb4
{A seriously bad move. Allows e5 forking the bishop and knight.}
12.e5 Bxe5 13.Nxe5 Qc7
{Yet another bad move. Allows Ba3 which pins my knight to my rook and attacks my knight.}
14.Ba3 Nxc2
{I played this in an attempt to save my f8 rook. Now I have only two pawns for a bishop and a knight. However well placed pieces eventually save me.}
15.Qxc2 Rfc8 16.Red1
{A mistake on his part. Allowing me to win back some material.}
16...cxb3 17.axb3 Qxc3 18.Qxc3 Rxc3 19.Rdc1 Rxb3
{I now have three pawns for the bishop making things 'even', however mate was given with only the rook and a3 bishop.}
20.Rc2 Rc8 21.Rxc8+ Bxc8 22.Rc1 Ba6 23.Be7
{If he'd had played Bf1 I would have been in a lot more trouble.}
23...h6 24.Rc7
{Now things get dangerous for white.}
24...Rb1+ 25.Bf1 Bxf1 26.Rc8+ Kh7
{He could have played Ba3 or Nd3 to protect the c1 square for his rook to interpose after Bh3, but he allowed me a mate in one instead.}
27.Ra8 Bh3#
{White king mated} 0-1
