1.d4
This game was in round 2. I decided to resurrect my Grunfeld which I used to play all the time - mainly because of games like this...
1...Nf6
2.c4
g6
3.Nc3
d5
4.Bf4
Bg7
5.e3
0-0
This is an old line (well, I've got an old book!) and offers a pawn. Black gets decent play after cd Nxd5 Nxd5 Qxd5 Bxc7, but I'm not convinced it's worth a pawn.
6.Rc1
c5
7.dxc5
Be6
I didn't know my opponent was going to play this line and was trying to remember my very old theory. This is all fine, but white ought to be a bit better.
8.Nf3
Nc6
9.Ng5
Qa5
10.Qa4
I think this is a bit inaccurate and white ought to take on e6 first.
10...Qxa4
11.Nxa4
Bd7
Keeping the bishop, lining up against the N on a4 and preparing e5. Fritz still prefers white, but the extra pawn isn't likely to be a factor in this position for quite a while.
12.Nc3
e5
13.Bg3
d4
14.Nd5
h6
15.Nxf6+
Bxf6
16.Ne4
Be7
17.f4
A mistake but understandable since f5 followed by f4 was a threat. Now black takes over completely.
17...f5
18.Nd6
dxe3
The bishop on g3 is still a liability - fe is met by f4.
19.h4
b6
Another problem with white's position - his pieces have never felt secure all game.
20.Be2
bxc5
21.Nb5
Rab8
22.b3
Nd4
23.Rf1
e4
24.Rc3
Bf6
Rc1 is forced and black has several very strong continuations. Still, I thought he might have played it instead of resigning. I was pleased with this game and the team won convincingly. 0-1
