Nc3 d6 4. e4 e5 5. d5 a5 {This is a flexible line where Black waits to see what White does on the kingside before deciding how to develop his own kingside pieces.} 6. Be3 Na6 7. h4 f5 $11 {This move commits Black to playing Kf8 but that is not too serious now White has spent time on h4. In return Black gets more control over key central squares.} 8. exf5 (8. f4 {would be a violent but dubious response} exf4 9. Bxf4 Qe7 10. Qe2 Bxc3+ (10...

Fortunately my opponent declined and within a few more moves it was clear to me just how good my position was.} 18. Rhg1 Rhg8 19. Nh2 Ke7 $1 {It seems strange to move the king back having moved it forward just three moves earlier but this is clearly strongest. White is intending g4 and Black wants to play Raf8 in response, when the king can then go to d8 to defend the weak c7 pawn. The bonus is that Black's king is less vulnernable if the f and e files get opened.} 20. Rg2 Raf8 21. f3 Be8 $1 {An important re-routing of the bishop which will find activity on g6 or h5.} 22. a3 a4 { Fixing White's queenside pawns. Black is comfortably better here but White ought to just sit tight and Black would have some work to do to convert.} ( 22... Bh5 {was the main alternative} 23. g4 fxg4 24. fxg4 Bg6+ 25. Ka1 Bd3) 23. g4 $19 {tempting but wrong} fxg4 24. fxg4 (24. Nxg4 Bg6+ 25. Ka1 Bf4 $19 { intending Bd3 targetting c4. White cannot defend all the weaknesses in his position e.g.} 26. Nf2 Bc2 27.
