Three years later, it was Colin who played board 1 for the A team above me.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 O-O 5. Be3 d6 6. f3 e5 7. d5 {It's interesting that he didn't swap the pawns on e5, then swap the Queens to go for a draw against a stronger opponent at the time} Ne8 8. Bd3 Bh6 {I understood at the time, that if Black could swap the dark squared Bishops, that would be okay for him} 9. Qd2 Bxe3 10. Qxe3 f5 11. exf5 gxf5 12. Nge2 f4 13. Qf2 ({A small point. If White had played} 13. Qe4 {then Black can play} Nf6 {winning the Queen}) 13... Ng7 14. g4 c5 15. Ne4 {That's positional snag of by 12th move, in that it gives White the e4 square. So in order to stir out a counter to White's central game, I played} b5 16. N2c3 bxc4 17. Bxc4 Na6 18. g5 Nf5 {Which incidentally, stops Qh4} 19. Nf6+ Kh8 20.

Nxd6 {I think I made a mistake too by playing} Nbc2+ ({If Black plays} 25... Bxb1 {assuming that White recaptures with} 26. Rxb1 Nbc2+ {cannot be taken by anything. White has to go} 27. Ke2 {and that allows Black to play} Nd4+ {and that wins, because if} 28. Ke1 (28. Kd3 Rb3+ {losing White the Queen}) 28... Nxf3+) 26. Bxc2 Nxc2+ 27. Kd1 Qxd2+ 28. Kxd2 Nxa1 {And he played} 29. Nxf5 {which I had forgotten} Rxb2+ 30. Kc3 ({I think the better move would have been} 30. Kd3) ({White has to be careful here, because if} 30. Kc1 Rfb8 {threatening mate}) 30... Rc2+ 31. Kd3 c4+ 32.
