A game good enough for a friendly

A game played on Monday the 8th of July 2024 in an English pub, the writer won the toss and have the Red pieces. He proposed both players to write down the moves, the opponent did not think it was necessary. We set the clocks, each side had 60 minutes to complete all the moves.

To share is a joy. Here let us see how the game went on. Of course it is not of the professional level, just good enough for a friendly.

Opening : 7th Pawn Advance versus Right-hand Central Cannon

1. P7+1 - - C2=5
2. N8+7 - - N2+3
3. R9=8 - - R1+1
4. G4+5*- - P7+1
5. N2+3 - - N8+9
6. C2+4 - - R1=6
7. C2=7 - - B3+1
8. R1=2 - - R9=8
9. R2+4 - - C8=7
10.R2+5 - - N9-8
11.B7+5 - - P9+1
12.C8=9 - - C7+4
13.C7=8 - - R6+3
14.N7+6 - - R6=4
15.C8-2 - - C5=7
16.N3-4*- - fC=8
17.C9=6 - - R4=2
18.N6+7 - - C8+3*
19.C6=8 - - R2=6
20.G5+4 - - P7+1
21.fC=3 - - C7+7
22.B5-3 - - R6+3
23.G6+5 - - R6=7
24.N7+9 - - G6+5
25.N9+7 - - K5=6
26.C3=4 - - R7=3
27.P7+1 - - N8+9
28.P7+1 - - N3-1
29.C4-1 - - N9+8
30.C8+2 - - R3-2
31.R8+2 - - N8+9
32.C4-2 - - K6+1
33.C8+4 - - (1-0)

* Comments :

4. G4+5, a waiting move, at the same time reinforce the centre.

16.N3-4, instead, 16.N3-2 seems better.

18....C8+3, pinning Red's Bishop and Knight.
