Just paste in the pgn viewer to enjoy--for whatever reason I once again can't get it to work in the Chess Publisher; I've really got to look into some improved viewer I can embed in the post for ease of use...

Brief impressions: Chesslab has exactly two games with the position after White's fifth move--one from 1851. In both cases Black didn't retreat all the way back; in fact this is the first game I can remember, ever, where the opponent went back Qd8 three times.

15. Na4? is the only move I consider to be really weak on my part, and after an 11-minute think, too. 15. h3 waiting, ought to be better. My move just develops his game.

I was fortunate that he played 27. ... Qb3? instead of Qc4. During the game I thought it would take a long time to tack around and try to break up his kingside, but once the queen was cut off it was all over.

Now as soon as I can I'll have a real look at the game and find more of my mistakes...

Anyway, rating advanced four big points as a result of this tournament(!) to 1611. At least it was in the right direction. Now, the Western States Open this weekend and 5 games against B-players to test my progress!

It looks like 18 .. Ne4 (which looks pretty obvious to me, at a glance possibly winning the exchange) would have made things complicated, i.e. 18 .. Ne4 19 Qc1 Nxc3 20 Bxe7 Qc7 21 Qxc3 Qxc3 22 bxc3 Rfc8 23 Ng5 Rxc3 24 Bxf7+ Kh8 where things are pretty unclear. Maybe Black has a theoretical slight edge, but White maybe has better practical chances.

Rather than 20 Rc7, I would prefer 20 Bc7, since Black's queen has trouble finding a square. 20 .. Qd7 allows 21 Ne5, and 20 .. Qe8 just looks terrible. Remember, one of the reasons you put your rook on c3 was to guard against doubled pawns on f3. Why abandon it after one move? Note that 20 Bc7 Ne4 is immediately punished by 21 Rxe4! here.

I'm not a big fan of 25 Bxg7. I would rather leave the tension in the position. Your dream is later for him to take on e5 so you can recapture with a pawn and thus rid yourself of your isolated pawn. Instead maybe play 25 Qf4.
