with the idea of identifying faults then setting about eliminating them. I
had no intention of publishing my notes but then thought &ldquo;what the
hell&rdquo;, it may help weaker players to see how I think during a game
and it may attract some feedback from stronger players who might offer some
advice or comment. I would be interested to know if better players than me
ever have similar experiences during a game.&rdquo; }

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 { &ldquo;A surprise, and an opening that I had not
prepared in any depth.&rdquo; } 3. d4 Nf6 4. Nc3 ({ &ldquo;If } 4. dxe5
Nxe4 5. Qd5 Nc5 6. Bg5 Qd7 7. exd6 Bxd6 8. Nc3 O-O 9. O-O-O { is possible
but I didn't know this line.&rdquo; }) 4... Nbd7 5. dxe5 { &ldquo;It was
probably better to maintain the tension.&rdquo; } 5... dxe5 6. Bc4 Bc5 7.
O-O O-O 8. Qe2 ({ &ldquo; } 8. Bg5 { seems to be more popular here but
White's results aren't very good with it.&rdquo; }) 8... c6 9. a4 {
&ldquo;I like this move. As I discovered v Clery in Prague White can't
allow Black easy Q-side expansion.&rdquo; } 9... Qc7 10. h3 { &ldquo;This
probably isn't necessary especially since a black knight cannot easily get
to d4 in the event of Bg4.&rdquo; } 10... h6 { &ldquo;Also unnecessary and
creates a hook for a white pawn attack.&rdquo; } 11. Nh4 { &ldquo;A good
idea but a little impatient better to just keep developing with Be3 or
Rd1.&rdquo; } 11... Re8 12. Nf5 Nf8 $6 ({ &ldquo; } 12... Nb6 { is better,
then chopping on f5. &rdquo; }) 13. Be3 { &ldquo;By now I've realised my
knight sortie isn't such a good idea so try to justify it
tactically.&rdquo; } 13... Bb4 14. Qf3 $1 { &ldquo;Now an exchange on f5
isn't so disadvantageous.&rdquo; } 14... Be6 $6 { &ldquo;Taking on either
f5 or c3 is better.&rdquo; } 15. Bxe6 Rxe6 16. Ne2 ({ &ldquo;Or } 16. Na2 {
.&rdquo; }) 16... Ba5 17. Rad1 Bb6 18. Bc1 $1 { &ldquo;The Bishop is an
important attacking piece.&rdquo; } 18... Rd8 19. h4 $6 { &ldquo;This I
felt was the critical point of the game so I should not have moved until I
was completely happy with my choice. h4 is not a bad move in itself but I
have to question my reasons for making it. Firstly I felt that I had an
advantage and should be attacking, this is probably true up to a point but
my advantage is only about half a pawn and my dominance on the K-side not
so great that I can expect a hurried attack to be successful. The second
important factor is that I have a bad record against Brady in recent years
so I was determined to show that I didn't fear him, this coupled with a
belief that I shouldn't let him off the hook yet again. I considered moves
like g4, Rxd8 and Neg3 (probably best) but couldn't find anything
convincing then opted for h4 which is in no way convincing either. The
difference between h4 and say Neg3 is that h4 causes weaknesses and cannot
be taken back.&rdquo; } 19... Rxd1 20. Rxd1 h5 { &ldquo;Fairly obvious yet
I hadn't really considered it. In fact, looking back, I don't think I
analysed any concrete variations after h4.&rdquo; } 21. Neg3 g6 22. Ne3 ({
&ldquo;Fritz likes } 22. Nh6+ { too but only a machine could play a move
like that.&rdquo; }) 22... Rd6 23. Rxd6 Qxd6 24. Nc4 Qe6 25. Nxb6 axb6 26.
b3 N8d7 27. Qe2 Qd6 28. Bb2 $6 { &ldquo;The Bishop would be better employed
on e3.&rdquo; } 28... Nc5 29. f4 $4 ({ &ldquo;This is lunacy when the
obvious } 29. f3 { would have maintained equality. I no longer had any
advantage but was reluctant to switch to &ldquo;drawing mode&rdquo;. This
time too there were spectators at the board and I got a fit of bravado.
Finally, and most alarmingly, I just saw the cheap tactic exf4 e5 (which
doesn't even work) and blazed ahead with no analysis of variations. My
"justification" for the whole silly idea was some vague notion of
increasing the range of my Bishop.&rdquo; }) 29... Ng4 ({ &ldquo;Better was
simply } 29... exf4 30. e5 Qe7 { when my Knight being en prise shows how
rubbish my plan was.&rdquo; }) 30. f5 Qf6 { &ldquo;My whole position just
collapses now, the rest needs no explanation.&rdquo; } 31. fxg6 fxg6 32.

44. Nd2 Nxd2 45. Bxd2 Nxa4 46. Kg3 Kf7 { &ldquo;So to summarize: 1.
Insufficient knowledge of the opening. 2. Impetuously attacking. 3. NOT
analysing variations at critical times. 4. Silly bravado. 5. Not taking
enough time to re-adjust my thinking at crucial turning points. 6. Possible
tiredness.&rdquo; } 0-1
