Spanton (167) - Charles Proctor (154)
Modern Defence
1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 d6 4.Nf3 a6 5.a4 c5?
Not in ChessBase's 2018 Mega database.
6.d5?
I rejected 6.dxc5 because of 6...Qa5, but White is much better after both 7.cxd6 and 7.Bd2.
6...Bg4 7.a5 Nd7 8.h3 Bxf3 9.Qxf3 Ne5 10.Qg3 Nf6 11.Be2 0-0 12.Be3
Despite missing the best continuation at move six, White is much better |
Whatever the soundness of this move, it does have the practical advantage of distracting White from his kingside build-up.
13.axb6 Qxb6 14.Ra2?
White is pleasantly better after the calm retreat 14.Bc1, which ends Black's queenside counterplay.
14...Qb4 15.f4??
Catastrophic. I somehow missed that my c3 knight is not protecting e4.
15...Nxe4 16.Qh2 Nxc3 17.Bd2 Nc4 18.Bxc4 Qxc4 19.Ra3?
I have given this a question mark, but it is arguably the best move in the position as it allows my opponent to immediately put me out of my agony.
19...Qe2#
