1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 Nc6 I don't know what is best to play here. 4. d3 4. d3? Why not d4? Or Nf3? 4... Qh4+ 5. Kf1 Bc5 Proving 4.d3 to be a mistake 6. Qe1 Qxe1+ I thought about this for a while, I guess with his K in the center I should retain the Qs maybe 6...Qh6 My computer liked 6... Qxe1+ 7. Kxe1 Nd4 though so... Maybe my Q will be out of play maybe his gives him too many defensive options... 7. Kxe1 Nd4 8. Bb3 My computer recomended 8.Kd1 8... Nf6 I was afraid to try to hang on to the pawn. What of I have no idea. g5 definitely looks good. My computer loved Nxb3. 9. Bxf4 d6 10. Nf3 O-O My computer still liked 10...Nxb3 instead. 11. Nxd4 Bxd4 12. Nc3 Bg4 13. h3 Be6 14. Kd2 Nh5 The idea (notice I didn't say it was a good idea) is f5. My computer once more loves Bxb3 15. Bh2 Bxb3 16. axb3 f5 17. Ra4 17. Nb5 looks interesting 17... Bxc3+ 18. bxc3 fxe4 I think f4 is better 19. Rxe4 Rf2+ 20. Re2 Rxe2+ 21. Kxe2 Rf8 22. Rf1 Rxf1 23. Kxf1 Kf7 24. Ke2 Ke6 My computer calls for Nf6 the last two moves 25. Ke3 Nf6 26. c4 a6 unnecessary 27. Bg3 c6 28. Be1 g6 29. Kd4 h5 30. Bd2 Ng8 31. c5 d5 32. Kc3 Ne7 33. Kb4 Kd7 34. Ka5 Nc8 All of blacks pieces are on light squares 35. Kb4 Ne7 Draw offered and accepted 1/2-1/2 [Josh Cook]
