Round 1 [Geoff Peake]

1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.g3 Bc5 5.Nxe5 First analysed by Botvinnik, this move is given an exclamation mark by Taimanov in his Slav,English, Reti book. It is a tricky line.Black's best is Bxf2+, as played by Keres against Botvinnik. 5...Nxe5 This is inferior to Bxf2+ and has only scored 31% for Black.

1-0, Botvinnik Mikhail M 2630 - Keres Paul 2615 , Moscow 1966 Memorial A.Alekhine 6.d4 Nxc4 I am not aware of anyone playing this move. Black regains his pawn, but Black loses his dark squared Bishop, and his Knight is poorly placed.
	[6...Bb6 7.dxe5 Ng4 8.e3 Nxe5 9.f4 Nc6 10.Bg2 O-O 11.O-O Re8 12.Nd5 Taimanov]
7.dxc5 O-O 8.Qd4 A strong move that centralises the Queen, attacks the Knight. White also has options of Bg5 emphasising his dark square power. 8...d5 9.Bg2 White threatens the d5 pawn, and rushes to castle, as he then has the strong e4! move. 9...c6 10.O-O h6 Black worries about the Bg5 threat, but he should be more worried about White's next move. 11.e4 ! Nxe4 ? a blunder, but remember this is a rapidplay game.
	[11...Be6 had to be played, but White is better.]
12.Nxe4 Re8 13.Bxh6 ! crashes open the Black King position. 13...gxh6
	[13...f6 is best. 14.Bf4 with a winning advantage.]
14.Nf6+ Kf8 Obviously forced, otherwise White get a discovered check. 15.Nxe8 Kxe8

16...Be6 17.b3 not just pushing the Knight out of play, but gaining the d6 square for a Queen check later. 17...Na5 18.Bh3 White has a winning attack. 18...Kd7 Best.

Round 2 [Geoff Peake]

1.d4 Nf6
	[1...e6 2.c4 f5 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.g3 d5 5.Bg2 c6 6.O-O Bd6 7.Qc2 O-O Compare this position in the Dutch Stonewall with the (reversed) position in the game.]
2.Nf3 c5 3.e3 g6 4.c3 Qc7 In some lines White can play dxc5 and hang on to the pawn. 5.Bd3 Bg7 6.O-O d5 The classical move that soon puts the game into a Dutch Stonewall reversed. 7.Ne5 O-O 8.f4 Compare this position with the Dutch Stonewall position mentioned above. 8...Ne8 The standard plan, Black will regroup the Knight to d6 and control e5 by playing f6 . 9.Nd2 Nc6
	[9...f6 is possible immediately, but 10.Nxg6 hxg6 11.Bxg6 f5 12.Qh5 Nf6 13.Qh4 looked unclear and dangerous.]
10.Nxc6 Qxc6 11.Qe1 Bf5 As always, trading off White's King Bishop is favourable to Black in the Stonewall. White is shot on the light squares 12.Bxf5 gxf5 The doubled pawn is not important, Black gains a stranglehold on e4, which will be a superb Knight outpost, and an open g file. 13.Qh4 c4 I am already preparing for an ending where the Q-side breakthrough will be achieved by the march of the b pawn to b4. Taking the e7 pawn is too dangerous for White. 14.Nf3
	[14.Qxe7 Nf6 threat Re8 15.Nf3 Rfe8 16.Qb4 Bf8 etc. with excellent play]
14...Qf6 Black aims to exchange Queens to nullify any White kingside play, then he has much the better ending. 15.Bd2 Qxh4 16.Nxh4 Nd6 17.Nf3 Ne4 18.Be1 attempting to activate the Bishop with Bh4 18...h6 ? preventing Ng5 but a better move is Bf6 !, which also prevents Bh4. This move also allows Black to quickly utilise the g file. 19.Nh4 White's strategy has been to build a Stonewall and play moves quickly, to build a safe position and gain time on the clock. 19...e6 20.Nf3 White is achieving little in position, but he has accumulated a good time advantage with quick play. 20...Kh7 Here Bf6 was still a good idea. 21.Bh4 Rfe8 to prevent the Bishop's entry via e7 22.h3 White's play finally has some direction - he intends g4. However he fails in this, and g2,g3 squares are therefore much weakened. 22...Bf6 I finally realise that Bf6 is the best way to make progress, even though I am swapping off White's bad Bishop. 23.Bxf6 Nxf6 g4 is prevented and Black is ready to double Rooks on the g file. 24.Kh2 Rg8 25.Rg1 Rg7 26.g3 Rag8 27.Rg2 Ne4 28.Rag1 h5 controlling g4. Now White must beware Black pushing the pawn to h4 in some lines. 29.Nd2 Nd6 30.Nf3 f6 taking away e5 from the White Knight. Now White is confined to the first two ranks. Black has a good position, but progress is not easy. 31.h4 Now g4, g3 and e4, e3 are all weak 31...Nf7 32.Re2 to defend e3 against the Ng4 check move. 32...Nh6 33.Ree1 Ng4+ 34.Kh3
	[34.Kg2 may have been better.]
34...Nf2+ 35.Kh2 Nd3 36.Re2 Black has made excellent progress, and now is ready to put his master plan into operation ! 36...b5 37.Nd2 A blunder ? or is this a trap ? 37...Nxb2 38.Nb1
	[38.Ne4 suggested by Roger Tuddenham may is better but ... 38...fxe4 Now Black gains f5 entry square for his King 39.Rxb2 Rb8 40.Rgb1 a6 41.a4 Kg6 42.axb5 Rxb5 43.Rxb5 axb5 44.Rxb5 Ra7 45.Rb2 Ra1 is a winning position for Black]

42.a3 b4 43.cxb4 axb4 44.axb4 Nxb4 45.Na3 Ra7
	[45...Nd3 is simpler, but I thought I saw a winning pin.]
46.Nc2 Ra2 Unfortunately I now realise that White's pin of my Knight negates my pin. 47.Kg1 Nc6 48.Rxb8 Nxb8 49.Kf1 Nc6 50.Ke1 Kg6 51.Kd1 Kf7 52.Kc1 Ke7
	[52...Na7 53.Kb1 Nb5 is a clever computer solution that I did not see.]
53.Kb1 Ra8
	[53...Nb4 ! I did see but did not realise the strength of 54...c3! Now the time situation is becoming serious . This would be easy in a long play game. 54.Kc1 c3 55.Kd1
		(55.Kb1 Rb2+ 56.Kc1 Nd3+ 57.Kd1 Rb1#)
	55...Nd3 wins]
54.Na1 Rg8 55.Rb2 Desperately seeking counterplay with his Rook.
	[55.Rg2 White thought was too passive, as Black walks his King over to the Q-side .]
55...Rxg3 56.Rb7+ Kd6 57.Nc2 Rh3 I realised that White's 2 move mate threat of Na3 to b5 mate was an illusion. 58.Rf7
	[58.Na3 is answered by 58...Nxd4 ! 59.Nxc4+ dxc4 60.exd4 Rb3+]
58...Rxh4 59.Rxf6 Ke7 60.Rh6 Nd8 ! sneakily trapping the Rook 61.Nb4
	[61.Rh7+ Nf7 62.Rg7 Rg4 wins]
61...Nf7 62.Rh7 ? a blunder, but 62.Rg6 is answered by Rg4 ! Now White loses his Rook 62...Kf8 0-1

6...Nc2+ 7.Kd1 Nxd4 8.Be3 Now White does have a development lead for the pawn.He is attacking Black's Knight and has threats involving Nd5 or b5.

9...c6 I take time out for a defensive move. This cuts out any Nd5 or Nb5 attacks 10.Nf3 Unwisely allowing the Bishop pin. Nge2 is better. 10...Bg4 11.Bxd4 Finally going after the d4 pawn. Be2 looks too defensive. 11...exd4 12.Ne2 Now Bxf3, followed by defending the d4 pawn appears logical, but as I look into the position I realise that Black can sacrifice the d4 pawn for the attack. 12...Nd7 ! Black sacks the d4 pawn, but now develops rapidly with threats. 13.Nfxd4 It's better with this Knight to allow a f3 pawn move. 13...Ne5 threatens the Bishop. 14.Bb3 O-O-O With both Knights pinned White is threatened with catastrophe. 15.Ke1 This is a crucial point. It is obvious that White is lost, but what is the quickest way to victory? The clock was ticking and I did not have time to "solve" the position. I finished up playing...
	[15.f3 instead then... 15...Nxf3 ! is a crusher 16.gxf3 Bxf3 threatens Rxd4ch as well as the Rook. I was now dreaming about the following line.. 17.Kc2 Bxe4+ 18.Kc3 c5 19.Nb5 a6 20.Na3 Rd3+ 21.Kc4 b5+ when White moved the King instead.]

	[10.b3 is a good alternative. 10...Be6 11.Bb2 Qb6 12.Qd2 Rfd8 13.e4 Qa5 14.Rad1 Qh5 15.Ne2 Ng4 16.h3 Ne5 17.g4 Bxg4 18.hxg4 Nxg4 19.Qf4 Bg5 20.Qg3 Bh4 21.Qh3 Ne5 22.Ng3 Qg4 23.Qxg4 Nxg4 24.Nf5 Bg5 25.Nxg7 d5 26.exd5 Rd6 27.dxc6 Rg6 28.cxb7 Rb8 29.Nf5 1-0, Rosell Kaj (DEN) 2325 - Oe Oluf, Randers (Denmark) 1973]
10...Qb6 ! 11.Qd2
	[11.Rad1 I seriously considered as... 11...Qxb2 ? 12.Nd5 ! wins]
11...Be6 12.Na4 Here I start to go wrong. - I was attracted by the line Qc7 13. c5! 12...Qd8
	[12...Qa6 ! looks good. 13.b3 d5]
	[12...Qc7 13.c5]
13.Qc2 vacating d1 for a Rook, and defending c4. 13...Nh5 14.Be3 f5 15.Rad1 Qe8 16.b3 Nf6
	[16...f4 17.Bd4
		(17.Qe4 Bf5)
	17...Bf5 18.Qd2 =]
17.Nc3 getting a stranglehold on d5. 17...Ng4 18.Bf4 Ne5 ?! This is where I miss my chance. The Rapidplay disease strikes. I should, of course play c5 ! now. 19.Qd2 preventing g5 and preparing Bg5.
	[19.c5]
19...Rd8 20.Bg5
	[20.c5 Nf7

	[21...Rf6 22.Qe3]
22.Rd4 Qf6 23.Qxf6 Rxf6 24.Rfd1 Nf7 Now I'm happy as White obviously has a better position. But how to continue ? No time to think. 25.e4
	[25.f4 ! blocking the f4 pawn first is the right way to continue, with e4! to follow.]
25...f4 26.gxf4

26...Rxf4 27.Ne2 Rf6 28.f4 ? Oops - Blunders away a pawn.
	[28.h3 is correct, taking away g4 square and threatening f4.]
28...Bg4 29.R4d2 Bxe2 30.Rxe2 Rxf4 31.e5 dxe5 32.Rxd8+ Nxd8 33.Rxe5 Kf7 Agreed Drawn. Black is a pawn up, but his time situation was by now more precarious than mine. 1/2-1/2

Round 3

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nf3 g6 7.g3 Bg7 8.Bg2 O-O 9.O-O Re8 10.Nd2 Nbd7 All this is book, but the position has only scored 49% for White. 11.Nc4 ? Here a4 is essential, as will soon become obvious
	[11.a4 a6 is the main line but it's 54% Black in 740 games on my database.]
11...Nb6 ! This position has only scored 19% for White ! 12.Qb3
	[12.Nxb6 Qxb6 79% Black]
	[12.Ne3 Ng4 is only 17% White]
12...Nxc4 13.Qxc4 a6 ! with a threat that cannot be countered. 14.a4 b5 ! the point of this line. White cannot take the pawn as his Queen and Rook become en prise simultaneously. 15.Qd3
