From these notes it seems both players were under the illusion that the game
should be played with no increment. This is mind boggling, they both played
games in the same tournament the week before and presumably noted there was
increment. We have not played any serious games at the Wellington Chess Club
without increment for something like 20 years} 1-0

out that it is hypothetically possible to reverse the move order in the line I

fxe5 dxe5 9. Bg5 Qe7 {Qe7 is one of the two most common moves in this position,
and probably the best, with Black scoring well in this variation.} 10. Kh1 {Kh1
looks like a somewhat slow move in a line where White has sacrificed a pawn,
but the King's vulnerability on the a7-g1 diagonal is extremely relevant in
most lines, as the black Queen often threatens forks on the c5 square.} 10...
Be6 11. Na3 {This unusual-looking move is again a normal idea in the
Koltanowski Variation.} 11... O-O-O {This position, rightly, looks fairly
dangerous for White. In the nine games which have reached this position
according to my database, White has managed a brilliant score of 1 win, 1 draw,
and 7 loses.} 12. Bxf6 $5 {Stockfish disapproves slightly of this exchange, but
it can't really be trusted because it dislikes White's position already and is
trying to make a draw. The idea is very simply to get compensation through play
against the doubled f-pawns, with an advantage for White in many potential
endgames.} 12... gxf6 13. c3 $6 {Challenging black to do their worst with the
allowed discovery.} 13... Bxc4 $6 {This is not "the worst" for White. Piece
trades generally limit the danger for White and accentuate the weakness of the
f-pawns. Both my opponent and I missed the strength of Nb5!}  (13... Nb5 14.
Qb3 Nxa3 15. Bxe6+ fxe6 16. Qxa3 Qxa3 17. bxa3 {A variation such as this would
likely have occured, and this endgame is a completely different story to those
"favourable for White." White's pawns are as (or more) jumbled than Black's,
and Black has crucial access to the 2nd rank, where an absence of the f2 pawn
in particular makes the King, as well as the White pawns, extremely weak. White
is not obligated to go into the endgame of course, but their pawn structure
will be damaged regardless, and with it any kind of mitigating trump for the
lost material.} ) 14. Nxc4 Ne6 15. Qf3 {Going to work against the f-pawns, and
achieving for the first time since the pawn sacrifice what I would call a
pleasant position.} 15... Nf4 {This is the most testing move. Black won't hold
onto f6 this way but g3 is quite a significant concession to make on White's
side, as the King looks extremely airy. In the four previous games which had
reached this position Qc5 or Ng5 had been played instead, so Nf4 is the first
completely new move, and (though Black has plenty of "equal" options according
to Stockfish) an improvement over earlier games.} 16. g3 {Despite the risk,
this is White's only logical continuation.} 16... Rd3 $6 {Black immeadiately
dives into the complications, but here White has a few options to create
difficulty.} 17. Qf2 $5 {The move looked like the refutation of Black's 16th,
but 17...Qe6!, which my opponent found, keeps chances level. Instead, and
confusingly, Stockfish suggests White is better after Ne3.}  (17. Ne3 Qc5 $1 (
17... Ng6 $2 18. Nd5 $1 {This was the important tactic I missed, The threat of
Nd5 makes Qc5 an only move, and after White kicks the Rook out, Whites position
is dominant.} 18... Rxf3 19. Nxe7+ Nxe7 20. Rxf3) 18. Rae1 {It's particularly
difficult to see that this variation is good for White given that here White is
forced to make a defensive move and seems to be on the back foot.} 18... Ng6

active, but i was concerned about the weakness of my c-pawn and though this
move, if somewhat passive would still keep my threats in the air.} 18... Nh3
19. Qxa7 $6 {Suprisingly Stockfish says Black is better after this move, and
prefers Qxf6, which I ruled out on account of the variation which is given as
the top line.}  (19. Qxf6 Qxf6 20. Rxf6 Rd2 {I stopped analysing here, because
i didn't think i could survive the Rook's arrival on my second rank. However:}

series of moves that White is drawing, though a lot of accuracy is needed by
both sides. White has a nice pair of passers on the Kingside, but Black, to
compensate, has a dangerously active king.} ) 19... Qc6 {Simply making a mating
threat.} 20. Rae1 {All other moves lose, though this is pretty intuitive.}  (
20. Rfe1 $2 Ng5 21. Qf2 Kb8 {The reason this Rook move is so fatal compared to
Rae1 is because in the other line White has the resource Qxf6 here, which hits
the Queen so Black doesn't have time to threaten discoveries.} 22. Qe2 Rhd8
{And now White cannot do anything about the invasion of the second rank.} ) 
20... Kd7 $2 {Ng5! simply adding pressure to the e-pawn, would still give Black
a significant advantage. This is obviously not an easy move to consider when
White is threatening to win a Rook, but 20...Kd7 gives White extremely valuable
time to regroup and gain a significant advantage.}  (20... Ng5 $1 21. Qf2 Kb8

is very similar to the Rfe1 line, but Black needs to trade a pair of Rooks to
engineer the pressure on the e-pawn, which eases White's difficulties
somewhat.} 24. Qc4 Qd7 25. Qb5) 22. Qxf6) 21. Nc2 $1 {White desperately needs
to reactivate the offside Knight and harass the Queen away from attacking the
e-pawn.} 21... Rd6 $6 {Black could have dreamed of slightly more counterplay
with Rd2 than they get in this line.} 22. Nb4 Qb6 23. Qxb6 {Finally White has

here. With equal material and a structural plus White should be able to put
serious pressure on Black's defense from here on.} 23... Rxb6 24. b3 {Re2 was a
more active defense of the b-pawn, but this move is no disaster.} 24... c6 $2

White's Rooks get to go on something of a rampage.} 25. Rxf6 Ke7 $6 {Allowing a
tactic, which worsens the position even more.} 26. Rf5 $5 {After playing this
move I saw the winning trick I'd missed, 26.Nd5+! Fortunately I got an

to the Knight on e4, though for the same reason it's not quite as good as it
was a few moves ago, when I would have won the exchange without dropping the
c-pawn.} 29... cxd5 30. Rxb6 Nxc3 31. Rxb7+ $6 {Rff6 immeadiately was more

Black's best try, though I couldn't figure out if it blundered Rcxc3 (In
hindsight it obviously wasn't played because it blunders Rdxc3!!!!)}  (43...

the fact that Rdxc3 just wins a clean Knight. Hopefully I would have noticed

over for the last few moves.} 44... Nc3 45. Rcxc3 Rf7+ 46. Rf3 $1 {This

simplification into a tedious (though still winning) theoretical Rook endgame.}

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. Be3 a6 7. Qd2 {My
opponent decides on the English Attack, which was a small suprise as I'd been
expecting either 7.Be2 or a3.} 7... Nf6 8. f3 Ne5 {The most commonly played and
most natural move in this position, 8...Bb4, is actually a minor inaccuracy
when White plays an English attack with the 8.f3 move-order instead of 8.0-0-0,
for the basic reason that the e-pawn is already defended, so 9.a3 is an
effective response. Ne5 prepares to play 9...Bb4, where 10.a3 can now be met by
capturing twice on c3 (if necessary) to double White's pawns.} 9. O-O-O Bb4 10.
Kb1 {This is one of White's more compliant moves, and allows Black to quickly
progress with the plan of doubling the c-pawns. 10.Nb3 is the main line, while
10.g4 is a more aggressive option which prepares the kingside pawn storm.} 
10... Bxc3 11. Qxc3 {Qxc3 has been played more often than bxc3, but the later
move is probably better. The structural damage means Black stands better in an
endgame, so, though it is true the black Queen applies significant pressure on
the c-file, White's best option is probably to leave Queens on and go for an
attack.} 11... Qxc3 12. bxc3 d5 13. Bf4 $5 {Committing to a pawn sacrifice with
the hope that trapping Black's king in the center will create difficulties.
Practically this turned out to be a fairly good decision.} 13... Ng6 14. Bd6
dxe4 15. Bc4 $6 {This move helps Black to unravel with the tempo-winning b5.
15.h4 h5 16.c4 seems like White's best try, where the doubled pawn becomes a
frustrating cramp on Black's position.}  (15. h4 h5 16. c4 Bd7 17. c5 Nd5 18.
Re1 e5 19. Nb3 exf3 20. gxf3 f6) 15... e5 $6 {This move is not necessarily bad,
but 15...b5 would have been a simpler path, as the pawn on e5 turns out to be
extremely weak and difficult to protect.} 16. Nb3 exf3 $6 {16...b5 should have
been thrown in first, so that the bishop didn't have the option of retreating
to d3.}  (16... b5 17. Be2 Be6) 17. gxf3 b5 18. Bd3 Bb7 19. Rhf1 Nd7 $4 {A
serious mistake which allows White to get an advantage after 20.Na5 because
black's bishop is extremely short on squares.}  (19... Nd5 {This was Black's
best move. I knew it was good after Rde1 (which is White's best response) but
forgot Nxc3 comes with check when I was looking at 20.Be4, which in retrospect
is obviously a serious error.} 20. Rde1 f6 21. Na5 Bc8 22. c4 bxc4 23. Bxc4
Ndf4 {Black's problems are largely solved in this line, as the kingside pawns
have been stabilised, though there is obviously still a fair amount of work to
be done unravelling before Black can prove an advantage.} ) 20. Rde1 $6 {This
misses the strength of Na4, but it should still be enough to hold the balance
of the game.} 20... O-O-O {This is an unpleasant place to put the king, but it
is somewhat forced.} 21. c4 $2 {A mistake, as the pawn cannot be safely
recaptured without dropping a Bishop. Because 21...bxc4 is also a fork, White
must make serious concessions to avoid losing outright.} 21... bxc4 22. Bxc4 $4
{22.Bxg6 was slightly more resilient, but still quite bad for White.}  (22.
Bxg6 hxg6 23. Na5 Bd5 24. Rd1 Nb6 25. Bxe5 Rh5 26. Bg3 Ba8 27. Rxd8+ Kxd8
{Black should be able to put a lot of pressure on White in this endgame given
all White's pawns are weak.} ) 22... Nb6 23. Bxf7 Rxd6 {White resigned here.
There is still a little play in the position but with only a pawn for the piece
(if that) Black should find it fairly easy to convert the extra material.} 0-1
