1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.c4 Nb6 5.exd6 cxd6 6.Nf3 g6 7.Nc3 Bg7 8.Be2 0-0 9.0-0 Re8 10.Re1 [Fritz prefers Qb3 with my move as 2nd choice, Juniors 2c top choices were this or Be3, Rybka failed to load this morning for some reason 10.c5 N6d7 11.Be3 Nf6 12.Qb3 d5] 10...e6 11.Bg5 Qc7 12.b3 [and still the engines like the pawn push 12.c5 dxc5 13.Nb5 Qd7 (13...Qc6 14.Ne5 Bxe5 15.dxe5) 14.dxc5 Nd5] 12...N6d7 13.Rc1 Nc6 14.Nb5 Qb8 15.Bf1 [15.d5 exd5 16.cxd5 Nb4 17.Nc7 Re4 18.Bb5 f5 19.Nxa8 Nc5 20.Rxc5 dxc5 21.d6] 15...e5 16.dxe5 dxe5 Diagram

17.Nd6 [17.c5 Rf8 18.Nd6] 17...Re6 18.Ne4?! [where the push is definitely preferable 18.c5 b6 (18...Nxc5 19.Nxc8 h6) ] 18...f5 19.Nc3 b6 20.Nd5 Nf6? [20...h6 21.Be3 Rd6 where white is on far shakier ground 22.c5 bxc5] 21.Nxf6+ Bxf6 22.Bxf6 [22.c5] 22...Rxf6 23.Nxe5? [when the more sensible line was 23.Qd5+ Kh8 24.Nxe5 Nxe5 25.Rxe5] 23...Nxe5 interesting how Junior 8 still gives white a small plus (0.28 at depth 16) while Fritz 10 gives the edge to Black (-.10 depth 16) 24.Qd5+ Nf7 Diagram

a move I completely missed 25.c5 [25.Re7=] 25...Qb7 26.c6 Rd6?? 27.cxb7 Bxb7 28.Qxd6 [28.Qxb7 Rf8 29.Rc8 Rxc8 30.Qxc8+ Kg7] 28...Nxd6 29.Rc7 Be4 30.f3 Ne8 31.Bc4+ Kh8 32.Rf7 [32.Re7] 32...Nd6 33.fxe4 Nxf7 34.Bxf7 Rf8 35.Bc4 fxe4 36.Rxe4 Kg7 black resigns 1-0
