bind. Qa5 and doubling the rooks was another idea. The engine says equal but I
think black has the chances in this position. } 12. Bh6 { 1:20 I knew that in
some other line black actually takes the bishop and the endgame is good. So I
did decide to take the bishop. It is going to be traded anyway. and if I take,
I force the queen out of the center which is good. } 12... Bxh6 13. Qxh6 Qa5 {

better for me as my rooks were really nice. }  (16... Qe5 { This move looks
good, but I didn't really see the point of this move. The engine wants me to
play this before Bg4. } 17. Re1 Bg4)  (16... Qc5 17. Re1 { Same thing here; I

the c-file now. } 19. Re1 { 53 } 19... Qc5 { 30 } 20. Be4 { 50 I was really

Mistake. Bd7 was best.   A mistake here. After Nb5, it would've been
unstoppable to lose a piece. The reason I played this move was 1. I thought
that b7 would be my biggest weakness and I wanted to defend them 2. I
completely missed Nb5 here (Which I realised right after I played Bc8). 3. I
hated the Bh5 line. }  (7... Bh5 8. g4 Bg6 { This line. White took a huge
centre and kingside. Even so, it's still playable, and I believe there are some
counterplays for black, but I wanted to avoid this sketch variation. } ) 8. Rc1

opinion. I thought that 9.Bd3 would be natural, and if 9...Nb4, then just
10.Bb1 with better-placed pieces. }  (9. Bd3 Bd6 10. Nge2) 9... Bd6 10. Nge2 {
This is why a3 seems a bit mysterious. The knight moved to e2 to avoid taking
black's bishop and to take back with the knight, keeping the pawn structure.
However, black can also delay taking on f4, but white can't. He would have to
take his light square bishop out at one stage, but the knight on e2 blocks. }

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. O-O { Happy to allow the Berlin Endgame, as

with it. } 4... d6 5. Re1 Be7 6. c3 O-O 7. h3 a6 8. Ba4 b5 9. Bb3 Na5 { By a
slightly odd move order, we have a very mainline closed Ruy Lopez. } 10. Bc2 c5
11. d4 Qc7 12. Nbd2 cxd4 13. cxd4 Bd7 14. Nf1 { I had a slight time advantage
before this move, which is quite typical for me in the opening, but here I
spent 23 minutes to play this move. I was considering b4 but concluded that it
was not strong after Nc6 or Rfc8. }  (14. b4 $6 Rfc8 $1 15. bxa5 Qxc2 $15 { And
black is simply better, at least practically. } ) 14... Rac8 15. Bd3 { In
retrospect, Ne3 would make more sense, but I wanted to quickly get to the c
file. This move is fine. } 15... Nc6 16. Ne3 { Sacrificing a pawn. At first my
intent was to win back the pawn with a better structure by Nc2, but Nd5 really
jumped out to me. } 16... exd4 17. Nd5 Qa7 $2 { Mistake. Nxd5 was best.   Black
should have played Nxd5 and Ne5. My opponent missed this resource, and I
underestimated it. }  (17... Nxd5 18. exd5 Ne5 19. Bf4 { I thought my position
was quite good here, but it could be said that I was quite optimistic, as I
initially thought Nxd5 would lose, and after I spotted Ne5 I wanted to reassure
myself. } ) 18. Nxe7+ Nxe7 19. Bf4 { Going for d6. Bg5 was also strong,
unavoidably damaging Black's pawn structure. Already the position is very
difficult. } 19... Ng6 $2 { Mistake. Qc5 was best.   My opponent had a longish
think before playing this, but the position was already not going well and this
move at the very least allows me long term pressure in an endgame. } 20. Bxd6

decision, going for simplification. However, }  (22. Be4 { was even better,
when White has super active pieces and still an extra pawn. } ) 22... hxg6 23.

Inaccuracy. Rc2 was best. }  (25... Rc2) 26. Nc5 { I was disappointed after
this move, as I immediately saw that Black has Rxc5, making the endgame far
more difficult. } 26... Bc8 (26... Rxc5 27. Bxc5 Nc2 28. Rad1 Nxe1 29. Rxd7 { I
did see I would at least keep the pressure on here, as opposed to the almost
certainly drawn opposite coloured bishop endgame. } ) 27. Re2 Nc2 $6 {
Inaccuracy. Rd4 was best.   A decent trick, but it ends up making it easier for
me to convert the advantage } 28. Rd1 (28. Rc1 $4 { No doubt my opponent was
hoping for this } 28... Nd4 $1 { wins the exchange. } ) 28... Nd4 29. Re4 { Now
black must lose another pawn. } 29... Ne6 30. Rxc4 bxc4 31. Na4 $6 {
Inaccuracy. Rd5 was best.   A very human move, to avoid the exchange of
knights. Rd5 was objectively better, but this natural move hardly spoils the
advantage. } 31... Bd7 $2 { Mistake. Nf4 was best. } 32. Nb6 Bb5 33. a4 Bc6 34.
Rc1 Nd8 $6 { Inaccuracy. Bb7 was best.   My opponent attempts to create some
sort of defensive formation, but there's nothing he can do. } 35. Rxc4 Re6 36.
Nc8 { 1-0 White wins. This move threatens Ne7 after which the king will have to
go to f8 and allow a deadly discovery. This game was so far my best game, as it
was very a clean exploitation of my opponent's errors. I was very happy with
this game, especially as it was nice to get back into a bit of momentum after
being on a half score. } 1-0

{Archer: My Round 9 followed a similar pattern to Round 8. I came out of a
somewhat unsound opening with a pawn and positional advantage, but Blundered a
piece. After a tight middle game, where I ran my opponent down on the clock
down a piece, a blunder from my opponent allowed me to seize a perpetual check,
and we agreed to a draw (But, It turns out I was actually winning!)} 1. e4 Nf6
2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 d6 4. Nf3 { This is considered a slightly unusual move order,
c4 is usually played first. I could tell my opponent was out of theory by this
point, due to his time usage. } 4... dxe5 5. dxe5 $5 { It is almost always
correct to take back with the knight here. But, this move took me out of my
theory! }  (5. Nxe5 c6 6. Be2 Bf5 7. O-O Nd7 8. Nf3 e6) 5... Bg4 $1 6. Bc4 $5

me a slight advantage and so far my opening has gone well. } 7. O-O Nc6 8. Re1

slightly inaccurate, and prefers: }  (8. Bb5 $1 Qd7 9. h3 Bxf3 10. Qxf3 a6 11.

To prevent Nbd4 is best } ) 9... Qd7 $1 10. c4 $6 { Inaccuracy. h3 was best.  
I had considered this when playing Qd7, But at worst I had Nb6 in response so I
thought I was slightly better. However, this is worse than I initially thought.

than my Knight is. Perhaps he missed my bishop recapturing }  (12. Qxf3 Qxc4

Qg4 is a tricky move, I couldn't castle or else I'd lose. I played the calm
Rg8, but I should have played h5 or O-O-O, as the pawn couldn't have been
captured anyway. }  (13... h5 14. Qh3 Qc2 15. Nc3 Bc6 16. Rb1 O-O-O 17. Be3 $17

missed both of. I just didn't realize his Queen could capture the Bishop if I
did, I would have like played O-O-O instead. }  (14... Qc4 $1 { Is best,
avoiding losing the bishop. } 15. Qxc4 Bxc4) 15. Qxb4 { I think this is the
