1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. d4 d6 5. f4 {The four pawns, I've only played
this a few times but have studied a few of the lines a number of years ago.
Many interesting positions can arise when you play in such a direct way.} dxe5
6. fxe5 Nc6 7. Be3 {It's important not to commit the knight to f3 to early an
allow black the immediate Bg4.} Bf5 8. Nc3 e6 9. Nf3 {It is now safe to do so,
white can easily protect the d-pawn and doesn't fear the move gxf3 if the
black bishop decides to exchange on f3.} Qd7 {The main move is Be7 I believe
but I quite like Martyn's approach to this. Castling quickly on the queen side
and getting things moving on the king side.} 10. Qd2 O-O-O {I felt in the game
here was the critical point to get my move order correct. Even after looking
at this game afterwards I'm still not entirely sure what the most precise
continuous is...} 11. Be2 f6 $1 {Very direct! I was certainly in admiration of
Martyn's play at this point. White is being tested to the full and sadly for
me, I was unable to come up with any concrete solution as you will soon see.}
12. Rd1 $5 {I was very unsettled at this point so instead of trying to
calculate my way in to a 'comfortable' position I decided to try to make
things as messy and tricky as possible. My idea here is after 12...fxd5 to
play d5!? and let Martyn try to figure it out :-)} Bg4 {Opting for the most
sensible alternative.} 13. exf6 {I have to say at this point I was really
unsure what was going on.} gxf6 14. O-O Rg8 15. Qe1 {Logical, creating the
threat d5 and re routing my queen to the king side for defensive duty.} Qg7 16.
Nh4 $2 {Awful! My idea, was based purely on the variation: Bh3, Rf3! Bxg2, Rg3.
But of course black has many other alternatives which I hadn't considered.} Be7
{Logical. Completing blacks development, connecting the rooks and preparing f5
with a threat.} (16... Bxe2 17. Qxe2 Qg4 {Wins at least a pawn.}) 17. Rf2 {You
know your position is bad when you have to play ugly moves like this!} (17. d5
$3 {It takes some bottle play a move like this when your king is about to be
under fire!}) 17... f5 {Premature in my opinion. A quiet move like Kb8 looks
better, it's easy to see the potential for tricks based around the weak e6
pawn.} 18. Nf3 Bh3 19. g3 {I was certain Bd6 instead of h5 just won
immediately here. Which begs the question why did I play g3. The answer is
simple - I thought everything was lost! Bf1 was the alternative which was
better.} h5 20. Bf4 {Finally! I feel comfortable. Everything is defended well
on the king side and I have avoided getting mated - amazingly! Time to get on
the offensive...} Bd6 21. Bxd6 cxd6 22. d5 exd5 (22... exd5) 23. cxd5 Ne5 24.

but a lucky one. Martyn played a very good game on another day I'm sure he'd
have won this easily!} 1-0

with the consensus, that Black has a slight edge. My verdict on my play? I was
far too timid; at least, having decided to defend, I did it well enough. Too
well, I think; I withdrew into my shell. Good to have Matthew Parsons restored

this occasion it definitely didn't!} 0-1
