Paul Jackson Netherton B v Huddersfield Dragons Hndcp Bd 3 (1) |
[ KING'S GAMBIT ACCEPTED, C37 ]
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. d4!?
|
[A speculative (brave?) decision as this
involves a piece sacrifice.]
4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 d6 6. Nxg4 Be7 is unclear, but has scored 72% for Black in 32 games on my database.
4. Bc4 Bg7 5.
4... g4
Black accepts the challenge.
4... d6 5. h4 g4 6. Ng5 h6 7. Nxf7 Kxf7 8. Bxf4 Bg7 9. Bc4+ Ke8 10.
5. Bxf4
5. Ne5 Qh4+ is the alternative
6... d6 7. Nc3 Nc6 8.
7. c3
a novelty.
7. Bc4 d6 (7... Qf6 8. e5 Nxd4 9. exf6 Nxf3+ 10. gxf3 c6 11. Nc3 d5 12. Bxd5 cxd5 13. Nxd5 Kd7 14. Nc7 Rb8 15. Nb5 Ra8 16. Nc7 Rb8 17. Nb5 Ra8 18. Nc7 Rb8 1/2-1/2, Menoni Vincenzo 2228 - Lanzani Mario 2349 , Bratto 2002 It (open))
(7... Nxd4 8. Bxf7+ Kxf7 9. Qh5+ Kg7 10. Qg4+ Kf7 11. Qh5+ is drawn.)
8. Bg5 f6 9.
7... d6 8. Bc4 Qf6 9.
This seems a little greedy. Black should be trying to consolidate.
10. Bxf7+?
10. cxd4! Qxd4+ 11. Rf2 Qxc4 12. Na3 White has attacking chances for the piece.
11... Bg7!? was possible 12. Qe3 Nf6 13. Nc3 Be6
12. Qe3 Bxf4 13. Rxf4 Qh5 14. Nc3 Bd7 15. e5 dxe5 16. dxe5

?? This loses, Black loses at least a Rook or gets mated.
16... Bc6 17. Qc5 Ne7 was better.

Now Paul can force checkmate !
17... Bc6 18. Qa8+ Kd7 19. Rd4+ wins for White
18. Qa8+
This does still win, but Rb4! forces checkmate quickly.
18. Rb4 forces checkmate! 18... b5 19. Nxb5 cxb5 (19... Qxe5 fails to .. 20. Nd6+ Qxd6 21. Qb7#) 20. Rc1+ Bc6 21. Rxc6#
18... Kc7 19. Qa5+ Kc8 20. Rd4?
20. Rc1! wins, there isn't a defence. 20... Bf5 (20... Ne7 21. Qa8+ Kc7 22. Nb5+ Kb6 23. Qa7+ Kxb5 24. Rc5#) (20... Be8 21. Qa8+ Kd7 (21... Kc7 22. Nb5+ Kd7 23. Qxb7+ Ke6 24. Rxc6+ Bxc6 25. Qxc6+ Ke7 26. Qc5+ Ke6 27. Nc7+ Kd7 28. e6+ Kc8 29. Nd5+ Kb7 30. Qc7+ Ka6 31. Qb6#) 22. Rd4+) 21. Qa8+ Kd7 (21... Kc7 22. Nb5+ Kd7 23. Qxb7+ Ke8 24. Nd6+ Rxd6 25. exd6 Qe2 26. Qxc6+ Kf7 27. Rxf5+ etc.) 22. Rd4+
21. Rb4! is still very strong. 21... Kb8 22. Qb6 Bc8 23. exf6 with White advantage.
22. Nb5 cxb5 23. exf6 Re6 24. Rd5 advantage White
22... Kc7 23. Nb5+ cxb5 24. Qa5+ Kb8 25. exf6 Qf7?
25... Qe2 was probably best.
26. Qd2
26. Qb6 was another idea.
27... Bc6 28. Qh3+ Kc7 29. Qg3+ Kc8 (29... Kb6? 30. Rxd8) 30. Qh3+ Kc7 31. Qg3+ etc.
Black is happy with a draw.
Drawn.
1/2-1/2
