1. d4 f5 2. Nf3
{
JPT: Hi again & good luck
}
2... Nf6
{
Louis Lima: Good luck and have fun! Hey, are we still doing the team match this month? 
}
3. Bg5
{
JPT: If possible I'll PM my guys & find out who is interested
}
{
JPT: BTW which of your teams are you talking about ?
}
3... e6
{
Louis Lima: It's "Friends Around The World" - Thanks! : ) 
}
4. Nc3 Be7 5. Bxf6
{
JPT: I've got three confirms for our match already :)
}
5... Bxf6
{
Louis Lima: Thanks JPT, I really appreciated. I got new members right after the leagues started and they are very antsy to play a team match. Cheers, Louis
}
6. e3 O-O 7. d5 Bxc3+ 8. bxc3 Qf6 9. Qd3
{
JPT: I quite like the look of that stanton gambit that you are playing in our other game. Never really seen it before, but after some reasearch I've decided to give it a go in some of the other games in this mini tourney
}
9... exd5
{
Louis Lima: That's the first time I play it with Black and haven't really checked my book library to research the theory, so not sure if we stranded off theory already. I think I committed to too many games and playing close to a hundred! : )   - But, I generally like gambit play with White. I am not sure I have enough compensation for the pawn though. Although I have a nice diagonal temporarily preventing you from castling, you have a mass of pawns in the center. We'll see how it goes! Happy holidays jpt! 
}
10. Qxd5+
{
JPT: I'm definately sweating a bit in our other game. I like direct openings like the portueguese e4 e5 bb5, although I took a bit of a beating in the tourney that I set up for it. I was hoping I'd win at least a couple of the white games, but alas no only one as black & some time out victories that don't really count
}
10... Kh8
{
Louis Lima: It's funny, I feel like I am sweating too in our game trying to prove what I have for the sacrificed pawn. I think I might be able to get the pawn back by temporarily sacrificing the Knight (Nxe5).
}
11. Qc4
{
JPT: It would be intersting to see what happens after Nxe5 would you go for the queen exchange ?, pxe5, qxd8 kxd8, 0-0-0 & white has much better developement & the position looks good. but I think as black I could get back into the game fairly quickly with kc7 and keep sacrificed pieces, unless I'm missing something.
}
11... d5
{
Louis Lima: Well, I looked at the position Before leaving for Las Vegas, and I think the Knight didn't work because the King could aid in the defense of the f6 Knight by Ke7. I think 0-0-0 might be best. Let's see what happens. Very interesting game! 
}
{
Louis Lima: I didn't think the Knight sac was going to work. I was looking at 11.Nxe5 dx35 12. Qxd8 Kxd8 13.0-0 Ke7 14.Ne4 Rf8 and it seems you were covered. Even if it worked all I would have gotten was the pawn back. 
}
12. Qxc7
{
JPT: In this game I'll think I might just get away with stealing this pawn :)
}
12... Nc6
{
Louis Lima: It's a looooong-term sacrice. I announce mate in 44 moves. : ) 
}
13. Nd4
{
JPT: 44 moves now thats just showing off :)
}
13... Rf7
{
Louis Lima: :) yep - the c pawn is gone with the wind, and u gotta nicely posted Pegasus on d4 shining its wings in the shadows of my inferior light-square Bishop. The game is not over though, and I look forward better adventures with my remaining pieces 8-) 
}
14. Qf4
{
JPT: time to move the old lady :)
}
14... g5
{
Louis Lima: let's make those lazy pawns sitting on 7th rank do some work.  
}
15. Qf3
{
JPT: I'll just squeeze thru this little gap
}
15... Nxd4
{
Louis Lima: time to cut my losses and get rid of your nice Knight :)
}
16. cxd4
{
JPT: & he was just getting used to that square!
}
16... Qc6
{
Louis Lima: Let's hope the grass is greener on the queenside
}
17. Bd3 Qc3+ 18. Ke2 Be6 19. h3 Raf8
{
Louis Lima: Let's transfer our nice conversation over to this game. You definitely got the upper hand here. BTW, i hope we can play more games in the future. I've enjoyed many games and players on this site, but you have been the most enjoyable of all. 
}
20. Rad1
{
JPT: Very kind of you to say so, I must say I've enjoyed our games too, I'm sure we will have plenty more. Tell me did you play your step-dad yet ?
}
20... Qa5
{
Louis Lima: Only one game in 2006. It was a G/30. It ended in a draw. I had black and couldn't essayed the Staunton gambit, but I have White this Sunday. Which reminds me, I better go check some Staunton Gambit lines! Do u play chess over the board too?  Louis
}
{
Louis Lima: hmmm, that pawn on a2 is looking awfully yummy
}
21. Qg3
{
JPT: no not very often, I did for a while, but not competively. I played one of my mates at work. Either one or two games during lunch, ten minutes each on the clock. We ended up playing 120 games and amazingly the score ended up 60/60 (1 point for a win half each for a draw)
}
21... f4
{
Louis Lima: Wow, that's great you could find an evenly matched player. That is an amazing score! You guys should keep playing. Well, I am not much for getting the Queen back to defend, and don't want to let you on e5 so easily, so let's go for broke and give my rooks some scope.  
}
22. Qxg5
{
JPT: Not sure if this is the right thing but what the heck I'm gonna go for it
}
22... fxe3
{
Louis Lima: Not sure myself either, but I think you will come out on top with careful play. 
}
23. Qe5+
{
JPT: careful playing.... yes well I knew there had to be a catch :)
}
23... Kg8
{
Louis Lima: OK, I have this devilish idea. Let's see if it works. -  By the way, I played my second game of 2006 with my stepfather today (1st one ended in a draw). I won!! I was planning on playing d4 against him, so was looking at various Staunton Gambit games (wow, White can really whip out some nasty stuff in the Staunton!!!, I should send you some of those games I was looking at). Unfortunately he decided to spring the Kings Indian Defense. Now, I've have been studying and playing a system with White which I am very fond of. It's called the Colle-Zukertort attack. It looks like the Colle system, except that that instead of c3, White develops the Bishop via b2. I like it because it cons opponents into thinking White is in for a positional play, when actually it is a very cunning set-up to spring a Kingside attack. It has worked really well and even beat a 1900 and a 1890 player recently with it (I am 1541). The only problem with the Colle-Zukertort is that Black can play the Kings Indian set up against it, and after that White really needs to know the Kings Indian (which I don't and I like it for Black better anyway). Thus recently I have been coming up with a double fianchetto approach against it, and that is what I played today. We played 30 minutes and 1 minute Byo-Yomi time (When u have 1 minute left, the clock restores to 1 minute every time one makes a move). I sprung an attack, it failed at the very end, but he was already playing byo-yomi time and had to make a move per minute and make some mistakes that let me in to mate him. I dunno why, I am never this competitive at tournaments, but I always measure myself against how well I do against him : ) 

}
24. Qxe6
{
JPT: hey well done for beating you stepdad, it sounds like an interesting opening have you got a game as an example ? I think this game can still go either way but I'm willing to take the risk for a free bishop :)
}
24... exf2
{
Louis Lima: I will show u two sample games of the Colle-Zukertort Attack. The first one is a little miniature highlighting what can happen to Black. In this game the Zuk was reached by transposition: Krabbe, T - Dappet 1.d4 d5 2.b3 e6 3.Nf3 c5 4.e3 Nc6 5.Bd3 Nf6 6.0-0 Bd6 7.Bb2 0-0 8. Ne5 Qc7 9.f4 b6 Hard to believe, but here Black has to either accept the loss of a pawn, or the game loses by force! 10.Nxc6 Qxc6 11.dxc5 Bxc5? (The pawn had to go) - 12. Bxf6 gxf6 13.Bxh7+! Kxh7 14.Qh5+ Kg7 15.Qg4+ Kh7 16.Rf3 Bxe3+ 17.Kh1 Resigns. Some of the advantages of the Zuk in my opinion: a) Set up is virtually the same (though sometimes which piece moves to the set up depends on what Black does) b)There aren't a lot of books out there on it, at least not that I know of. In fact I learned it from a video called "D4 Dynamite" by GM Summerscale. c) The opponent is least expecting a Kingside attack. - Some of the disadvantages in my opinion: a)The Bb2 can easily but shut off from action. Although, in my experience, if Black tries to do that (as you'll see in the next game) it lets White roll up the Kingside attack too easily. b) Black can opt of the Kings Indian Defense, so if you are like me which happens to dislike Kings Indian for White, I have to either learned to handle it with White. Basically, my approach has been to learn a line in the KI (the double fianchetto) which can convert in either the Yugoslav or Orthodox centres, so that limits what I have to learn, but those lines give Black equality. 

OK. This second game I played it today against my PC software. PocketGrandmaster and Ply 7 (calculating up to seven moves ahead). By the way, I've gotten good games against computers with this system.  

1. d4  d5
2. Nf3 e6
3. e3  Nc6 

Typically Black plays 3..c5 here and we have to play b3 right away to prevent the dislodging of the Bishop on d3.

4. Bd3 Nf6
5. a3 

5. a3 is necessary in many lines including c5 lines, to prevent Nb4. However, it is not absolutely necessary. 

5...Bd6
6. b3 Bd7
7. Bb2 Ne7
8. Nbd2 0-0
9. 0-0 c6
10.Ne5 Qc7
11. f4 a6 (looks like time waster)12. Qf3 

There is some flexibility as to how to conduct the attack. The other Knight can first jump to Nf3, and in some situations even a rook lift on f3 start things off. 

12...Rfd8
13. Qh3 Qa5
14. b4 Qc7

No tactical shots as in the first game (Yet) - and the bishop is completely shut off. However, the attack begins anyway. 

15.g4 g6
16.Ndf3 Nc8
17. g5 Nh5
18. Ng4 Bf8
19. Nfe5 Be8
20. Nf6+ Nxf6
21. gxf6 Nb6
22. f5

I put the game through analysis with Fritz 8.0 (which I will play a few games against it with this system soon to see how it goes). Here Fritz recommend Qh4 as the way to go, probably protecting the pawn while allowing the Rook to get behind. 

22...exf5
23. Rxf5! Qd6
24. Raf1 Nd7

Here Fritz gives two questions mark to 24...Nd7, although it still gives a slight advantage to White after his recommended 24...Qe6)

25. Rh5

Here Fritz gives my move two ?? markes and sys that I marched past the door to victory. Instead, Fritz says I can relx after 25. Ng4 Qe6 26.Rh5. I analyzed it and it is correct, but it did required a somewhat careful sequence. 

25...gxh5

Here Fritz gives Black two question marks. It says 25..Nxf6 was the only rescuing move) 

26. Qxh5 h6
27. Ng4 Qe6
28. Nxh6+ Bxh6
29. Qxh6 Nxf6
30. Rxf6 Qg4+
31. Kf2  Qf7

Here I was started to feel that I had missed something earlier on, and was probably going to lose. My only chance was to keep the Queens on the board and activate the Bishops as soon as possible. 

32. Qf4 Bd7
33. e4 dxe4
34. Bxe4 Rf8
35. d5 Rae8
36. Rh6 Qxb2
37. Bh7+ Kh8
38. Bf5+ Kg8
39. Bh7+ Kh8
40. Bf5+ 

Fritz prefers 38.Bd3+ Kg8 39.Rh5 - but have not look into it yet. 

40...Kg8
41. Qg5+ Qg7
42. Bh7+ Kh8
43. Bf5+ Kg8
44. Bh7+ Kh8
45. Bf5+ Kg8
Drawn by Repetition. 

Hope u like this opening!

25. Kf1
{
JPT: thanks for that I don't have time to check it out tonight but I'll take a closer look tommorrow :)
}
25... Qd8
{
Louis Lima: No worries JPT, look at the zuk at your leisure. Later on if u need more samples let me know. BTW, here are some "zukies" http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1002729  
}
26. Qe2
{
JPT: with a bit of luck this will give me the time I need to reorganise my pieces
}
26... Re8
{
Louis Lima: hi JPT - i think sacking the Bishop to open the e-file was my only practical chance to try to squeak out a draw here. i have control of the e-file, a pawn on the 7th, and your h1 rook is out of the action. Hopefully this is enough compensation for the lost Bishop -  Or maybe I am just hallucinating as usual! : )  -  hope all is well JPT., cheers, Louis
}
27. Qd2
{
JPT: hi again I just run that game through chessbase light which has a  version of fritz 4.01 that I down loaded via the internet. I played around with a few variations and ended up with 25) R1f4 it seemed to work against gxf5 but if black moves the pawns on the other side, I'm not so sure. Let me study it a bit & perhaps we can play a training game or two (one of each say) 
}
{
JPT: When I've looked further by move 33 you look well up 33)e4 is a mistake move 33) Rxf7 wins the game threating Bh7+, Qf6++
}
{
JPT: scratch that move 33 the notation is slighty wrong 31)...Qg7 I guess not Qf7, cos I copied & pasted it the queen went to f4+ instead it would have been a nice easy win for you!
}
{
JPT: 35)Qh4 looks ok for white
}
27... Qh4
{
Louis Lima: You know, it's funny, I think I am going to borrow your advice for this game and play Qh4 here, keeping firm control of my monster pawnie!! Yep, you are slowly but surely beginning to organize. However, I think I am going to send the priest away cause I feel I'm not dead here yet : )00 
 -  Yes sure, we can practice the zukie together. The only thing, I've probably would take a Queens Indian or Kings Indian approach to the Zuk, so if you want to practice a particular sequence of opening moves (e.g. 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5) then just let me know and I'll accomodate. Give me a month though cause I still have a hundred games and would like to finish at least half of them off. I really regret having committed to so many, I'm only enjoying a few games (like ours). L. 

}
{
Louis Lima: wow, the more i look at this the more i am convinced my bishop offer was correct.   
}
28. g3
{
JPT: ouch thats a very good move.
}
28... Qxg3
{
Louis Lima: I think you understimated the Bishop sacrifice. I obvously didn't foresee this line, but I saw I was going to get an awful lot of compensation for the Bishop. After 25...Qd8 I have 100% control of half the board where the action is taking place. I think maybe 23..f3 would have blunted the rooks. Another move I was thinking after 24...exf2 was 25.Bf5!? taking advantage of the temporary pin on my King, with a potential g4 securing the Bishop. In this line I am not sure I can force a perpetual by checking you with my Queen, so probably would have considered Kh8 to get out of the pin. 
}
{
Louis Lima: holly molly JPT, actually, this is not over yet. I think we might be in for loooooong game  
}
{
Louis Lima: Do you have any memorable game you have played before? or memorable chess position?  
}
29. Bxh7+
{
JPT: yes i though about 23)f3 but you bishop looked so tasty, and I thought coming back to Qe2 was going to give the time I needed to reorganise, I didn't count on your Qh4, still the game is not over quite yet :)
}
{
JPT: to answer your question about notable games I quite like 6750. I managed to rescue myself from a potential defeat twice, & draw itself is quite interesting. 
}
29... Kh8
{
Louis Lima: I think it is over JPT. I am threatening mate in two (Re1+), and the only way to prevent that is by covering the e-file. You had to play Be2 and probably I would have exchange my rooks for your Bishop and Queen - leaving us with two Rooks vs. Queen ending. Bxh7 works nicely only if I take the Bishop. But...
}
{
JPT: I like games where you are on the attack straight away, and set your oppponent on edge. Thats why I like e4,e5 Bb5, & also the staunton gambit. What about you what is your most interesting game?
}
{
Louis Lima: Sorry, I don't understand the "6750" reference. Is that a Schemingmind game? I would love to see it, just copy and paste the game link. 
}
{
Louis Lima: You know, that is so interesting that you say that. My most memorable games have been those where I have come back from the death also. My most memorable game was without a doubt a draw I obtained against GM Andy Soltis in a simultaneous exhibition in 2003. Right off the opening I got into severe difficulties. He had some nasty tactics at every turn, was really embarrassed thinking I was going to be the first one to get up defeated from the simul. So I decided to weather the storm as best as I could and just work at warding off his threats. However, I defended really well and it was really funny because he had his Queen and rook on the h-file threatening mate in one, but after his attack dried up his pieces had no business there and I even picked up a pawn. It was funny because I never looked up every time he came by my board, but at this point I did and saw him shaking his head. I He got his Queen on time but I then worked out what I thought was a an original idea to go about trapping hi Rook which was still stuck on the h-file, and ended up winning the exchange. Unfortunately the board was wide open, and I probably missed stronger continuations, and he offered me a draw, which he could have forced by perpetual. As you can imagine, I couldn't sleep all night of the excitement!! and the next day I lost all my games : )  BTW, I have cool chess pics if you would like to see them. Just send me an e-mail address if OK with you. 
}
{
Louis Lima: If u like quick attacks I recommend the Danish Gambit!! Though I have a very poor score with it against my stepdad. 
}
{
JPT: Hey a draw with a GM is very very good indeed, i'm sure I would have the same problem sleeping to :) I'll have to have a look at the danish gambit. 
}
{
Game Over: yes you are right it is the end of the game:( oh well you win some & lose some, well played good choice to sack the bishop. I shall have to put on my really sneaky hat for our next game :)
}
0-1
