However, this game was so emotionally satisfying, I can't help it.} 1.e4 c6 2.Nf3 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Bd3! ({Much stronger then the anticipated} 5.Bf4) Bf5 {A premove, obviously.} 6.Bxf5 {I was so bitter at this point that I decided to hang on till the end. I do that from time time, but can't remember getting a draw even once. Plus, I drew two exchanges up (albeit, against a much higher-rated opponent) earlier that day, so I was more desperate than I usually am.} 6...e6 7.Bd3 Nc6 8.c3 Bd6 9.O-O O-O 10.h3 h6 11.Re1 a6 12.Ne5 Be7 13.Bc2 Qb6 14.Qd3 Qc7 15.Bf4 Bd6 {Shuffling around my Bishop and Queen like that didn't inspire much confidence though.} 16.Qg3 {Kind of what I was hoping for. Now there's more life and imbalance to the position I though.} Nxd4 17.cxd4 Qxc2 18.Bxh6 Nh5 {A defensive tactic I've seen a lot, but possibly this was the first time I got the chance to execute it myself. Watch this Knight sacrifice itself!} 19.Qg5 Qxb2 20.g4 Kh8 21.gxh5 gxh6 22.Qxh6+ Kg8 {A draw I'd be more than satisfied with.} 23.Qg5+ Kh7 {Imma win his Queen!} 24.Kf1 (24.Ng4 {is curtains, of course.}) 24...Qxa1 25.h6 (25.Nd7 Rg8 Nf6+ {was missed by both of us.}) Rg8 26.Qf6 Bxe5 {The only move which I should've played earlier.} 27.dxe5 Raf8 28.Nd2 Qd4 29.Nf3 Qd3+ 30.Re2 Qb1+ 31.Ne1 Qg6 {gg. That felt good!} 32.Qxg6+ Rxg6 33.Rb2 Rb8 34.Rb6 Rxh6 35.Kg2 Rh4 36.Kg3 Ra4 37.Nf3 Rxa2 38.Ng5+ Kg6 39.h4 Ra3+ 40.f3 Re3 41.Kf4 Re1 42.Nh3 a5 43.Nf2 a4 44.Ng4 a3 45.h5+ Kxh5 46.Nf6+ Kg6 47.Nxd5 a2 48.Ne7+ Kg7 49.Nc8 a1=Q 50.Nd6 Qc1+ 51.Kg4 Rg1+ 52.Kh3 Qh6# 0-1
