James Grist - Francesca Fozard
HV v Neth-WB2 (Church), 11/16/2010
[Geoff Peake] [A57]

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 The Benko Gambit, first played by Opocensky, also known as the Volga Gambit. This gambit was very popular in the 70's and has never been refuted. 4.Nf3
	[4.cxb5 is accepted as best these days. 4...a6 5.bxa6 g6 6.Nc3 Bxa6 7.Nf3 d6 8.g3 Bg7 9.Bg2 O-O 10.O-O Nbd7 11.Qc2 Qa5 12.Rd1 Rfb8 is actually 51% Black]
4...d6 5.Nc3 ?! dubious 5...b4 6.Nb1 g6 7.Nbd2 Nbd7
	[7...Bg7 preventing b3 because of 8.b3 Nxd5 $17 looks more natural.]
8.b3 Bg7 9.Bb2 O-O 10.e4 a5 probably the best plan.
	[10...e6 11.dxe6 fxe6 12.Bd3 Bb7 13.O-O Qe7 is another approach, but much looser for Black.]
11.Be2 a4 12.Rb1
	[12.a3 !? axb3 13.Qxb3 bxa3 14.Rxa3 Rb8 15.Qc2 Rxb2 !? 16.Qxb2 Nxd5 17.Qb3 Nb4 = is the computer's suggestion.]
12...Nb6
	[12...axb3 13.axb3 Ra2 looks the natural continuation.]
13.O-O Bg4 ?!
	[13...axb3 14.axb3 Ra2 is one plan.]
	[13...Nh5 14.Bxg7 Kxg7 15.Ne1 Nf4 is another plan.]
14.e5 This stirs things up nicely, but Black is okay with best play.
	[14.Ne1 !? Bxe2 15.Qxe2 and f4 etc.]
14...Nfd7 ?!
	[14...dxe5 15.Nxe5 Bf5 The computer gives this wild line. 16.Nc6 Qd6 17.Be5 Qd7 18.Rc1 e6 19.Bf3 Rac8 20.bxa4 exd5 21.Bxf6 Bxf6 22.cxd5 Nxd5 23.Rxc5 Nc3]
	[14...Nh5 ! looks unnatural, but has a point. 15.e6 fxe6 16.Ng5
		(16.Bxg7 Nxg7)
	16...Bxe2 17.Qxe2 Nf4 !]
15.e6 ! fxe6 ?!
	[15...Bxb2 16.exf7+ Rxf7 17.Rxb2]
16.Ng5 ! Bf5 ! 17.Bxg7 Kxg7 A crucial point in the game. 18.g4 ?!
	[18.Bg4 I suggested after the game. 18...h6
		(18...Rf6 19.Bxf5 exf5 20.Ne6+)
	19.Bxf5 hxg5 20.Bxe6 Nf6 21.Nf3 White is better.]
18...h6 19.gxf5
	[19.Nde4 !? hxg5 20.Nxg5 Rf6 21.gxf5 exf5 22.Ne6+ Rxe6 23.dxe6 Nf6 24.Bf3 d5 25.Bxd5 Nbxd5 26.cxd5 Qd6 is unclear.]
19...hxg5 20.fxe6 Ne5 21.Nf3 Nxf3+ 22.Bxf3 Rh8
	[22...Rf4 23.Qe2 Qf8 24.Be4 Qf6 is advantage Black.]
23.Qd2 Qf8 ! 24.Bg4 Qf4 25.Qxf4 Now Black is better after regrouping the Knight.
	[25.Qb2+ Kg8 26.h3 was playable]
25...gxf4 26.h3 a3 Prefering to play on the King's side.
	[26...axb3 27.axb3 Ra2 28.Ra1 Ra3 Black is better.]
27.Kh2 Raf8 28.Bd1 Rh4 29.Rg1 White has to be able to counter Rah8 29...Rfh8 30.Bg4 Kf6 31.Rbe1 Na8 Here comes the Knight ! 32.Kg2 Nc7 33.Kf3 g5 34.Rg2 Ne8 35.Rh2 Ng7 Black is slightly better but... 36.Ke4 ?? White blunders 36...Rxg4 White resigns 0-1
