WHITE : Cox, T. BLACK : Reynolds, R.C.
Olton 1B v Sutton Coldfield 2005
1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 Nc6 3. Nc3 e5 4. a3 a5 4... e4 5. Ng5 Qe7 6. d4 5. e3 d6 6. d4 exd4 7. Nxd4 Nxd4 8. Qxd4 Bd7 9. Be2 Bc6 10. e4 Be7 11. O-O O-O 12. Be3 Nd7 (Black can fix White's Q-side pawns with a4, but there is more to this move than meets the eye) 13. b4? 13. Nd5 Re8 14. f3 better 13... Bf6 14. Qd2 axb4 15. axb4 Rxa1 16. Rxa1 Bxe4 17. Rd1 (Ra7 or f3 !? possible, but White some play for the Pawn anyway) 17... Bxc3 18. Qxc3 Qe7 19. h3 19. Bd4 19... Ra8 20. Qd4 b6 21. Bg4 Nf8?! (Fritz seems to think I should play Bb7 or have my Rook on the e-file, but there's something drawing me to the open file and b1) 22. Re1 c5?! 23. bxc5 23. Qd2 Qf6 23... dxc5 24. Qb2 Qb7 25. f3 Bg6 26. Bxc5 26. f4 Be4 26... h5! 26... f5 27. Re7 27. Bd4 (White's best chance is to take the h pawn and b pawn for the piece, leaving an outside passed pawn) 27... hxg4 28. Bxg7 Ne6?! 28... gxf3 Looks tricky but wins quickly, eg 29. Bh6 Ne6 30. Qf6 Ra2 29. Bh6 Kh7 30. hxg4 (A desperate attempt to create a mating net on the h file. Be3 or Bc1 better) 30... Kxh6 31. Kf2 Qc7 32. g3 Qc5+ 33. Kg2 Qd4 34. g5+ Kg7 0-1 [Reynolds,R]
