1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 $5 {This choice of opening amused Danny greatly. During the
course of a curry the previous evening we had briefly alighted on the subject
of the Albin Counter Gambit which I seem to recall he described as 'A bit
s#*!' at least when compared to the Budapest Gambit which is my other
'offbeat' selection against 1.d4 2.c4. I wasn't about to disgree with a Grand
Master and told him that I tended not to play the Albin against strong players
and also had the Semi-Slav in my repertoire. Ok, so only one of those two
statements is true. It was this conversation that prompted Danny to pause and
smile when he came to my board and saw me play this move "I thought you didn't
play this against strong opponents" he chortled. "Maybe I don't think you're
that strong" I shot back laughing. The banter had just begun.} 3. dxe5 d4 4. e4
$5 {For a moment Danny's hand hovered over the knight on g1. Had he played 4.
Nf3 we'd have ended up discussing one of the mainlines. Then he paused,
obviously decided that he didn't want to encourage a theoretical discussion 
(good decision) and opted for this instead. This is certainly not the most
popular choice (it's fourth on the list in my little database) but there's
nothing wrong with it and I'd never faced it before so immediately Danny was
setting me some challenges.} Nc6 5. f4 Nge7 {This choice was sub-optimal. I
did consider what appears to be the best (and also most popular) move in this
position which is...} (5... f6 {... but I didn't have quite long enough to
consider all of the ramifications before Danny was back in front of me and I
decided I wasn't going to use a pass so early on in the game.} 6. exf6 Nxf6 7.
Bd3 Bb4+ 8. Nd2 O-O 9. Ngf3 {Black is a pawn down but he has good and free
development and active piece play which is what he's aiming for in this
opening.}) (5... g5 {This move also looks very interesting and has some
similarities to a particular line of the Budapest at first glance.} 6. f5 Nxe5
{With a pretty odd and very messy position.}) 6. Nf3 Bg4 {I was perhaps guilty
of metaphorically singing the words of one song to the tune of another here.
My moves are all standard in the lines where White has played 4.Nf3 or 4.a3.
That doesn't mean they are right here but at least I could be confident that
I'd selected decent squares for my pieces.} 7. h3 {This surprised me a little
bit but it puts the question to the Black bishop at once and pretty much
forces the exchange on f3 as the only square the bishop can go to where it
won't get bothered further is d7 and that's where the Black queen wants to be.}
Bxf3 8. Qxf3 Ng6 {After this White develops a pretty significant space
advantage. My engine here advises Black to play...} (8... g5 {... again. This
appears to be a thematic idea in this line. I must remember it if I ever face
it again. Of course, faced with this position for the first time and up
against a Grand Master it would have taken brazen impudence to venture this
sort of move. I wasn't feeleing that cocky!} 9. g3 gxf4 10. gxf4 Rg8 {This
looks ok to me. Black will castle long and maybe develop his bishop on h6.}) 9.
a3 {Cutting out any tricks with Nb4 now that the queen can no longer observe
the c2 square. All these pawn moves though. Instinctively I felt that White
might get himself into hot water if he fell behind with his develpoment.} f6 {
This is ill-timed. Better was...} (9... Be7 {... and now again the engine 
(which is always interesting to observe in such positions as this, give a
whacky variation...} 10. Bd3 Bh4+ 11. Kd1 $5 Nf8 12. Kc2 Ne6 {... and I guess
White's advantage is only minimal but what a bizarre position!}) 10. e6 Bd6 11.
Bd3 a5 {I was starting to get a bit anxious about getting squeezed to death.
White has loads of space and there isn't an obvious way to break out for Black.
It seemed prudent to stake a claim to some territory on the queen's side
before White gets the chance to play b4. Probably 11... 0-0 was also ok but
then White probably could play 12.b4 if he wanted to.} 12. b3 {I'm guessing
this was played to prevent me from playing a4. It's the only reason I can
think of because at the moment, with f4 under a double attack, White can play
neither bb2 nor Nd2 without losing that pawn. Hampering White's natural
development of his queen's side pieces is one of the main strategic features
of the Albin and, even in this atypical position, the theme is still present.}
O-O 13. O-O Qe7 14. g3 {This move surprised me a little bit but then I
realised that if I captured on e6 (as I'd intended to) then comes 15.f5
forking the queen and knight. For a moment I was disappointed because it
looked like my break out plan was a forlorn one. Then, when I looked at 14...
Qxe6 again I noticed a tactic a little deeper into the line that I thought
made it playable. Would Danny have seen it? Surely he would have.} Qxe6 {It
was in considering this move that I remembered something Danny and I had
spoken about at the end of the game we played in another simul 5 years ago in
Leeds. In a brief post-mortem I'd mentioned a line I hadn'tplayed because I'd
seen a tactic for him that refuted it. He said something along the lines of 'I
hadn't looked that deeply at the position you tend to play simul's on
instinct'. That comment led me to believe that it was quite possible he hadn't
seen everything I'd had the chance to analyse in his brief time at the board.
I took a pass before playing this mmove to re-check that I was right. It's
amazing how much you question your assessments when you ar eplaying a Grand
Master, the temptation just to 'believe' that they must have seen everything
is very hard to resist.} 15. f5 Nge5 16. fxe6 Nxf3+ 17. Rxf3 Ne5 {'You sneaky
b@*$ard!' chuckled Gormally as he absorbed this move. For the first time in
the game he took longer than the briefest of moments to consider his next
mmove and assess what was happening. The point of course is that the rook
can't maintain contact with the bishop on d3 because g3 has been occupied and
the e3 square is also covered. White could play 18.Be2 here picking up two
pieces for the rook. Danny chose another means of making the same exchange.}
18. Kg2 Nxf3 19. Kxf3 {How to assess this position? Of course I did try to at
move 14 when I played Qxe6, but it's hard to come to a concrete conclusion.
Mostly I just figured that the material was pretty much balanced and that I
was sure I could win his pawn on e6. Surely grounds for optimism. In fact
after the game Danny said he was convinced that White was better or even
winning here. The engine seems to agree. I guess that, because the position is
blocked it will be hard for Black to activate his rooks unless he can find a
way to open the position. In that instance, White's bishop and knight should
be better than Black's rook. Still, Black is hanging in there. I now decided
that I didn't want to allow 20.c5 Bxc5 21.Bc4 when White is holding the e-pawn
and might look to play 22.Bf4 next move. This certainly looks unpleasant for
Black so...} c5 20. Bf4 {Why not? Actually this move did surprise me a little
because my bishop is not the best piece in the world. However, I suppose that
if it landed on e5 and just stayed there it might be hard for White to break
down the Black defence. Anyway, now I simply had to decide on the most
favourable way to exhcange these pieces off.} Ra6 {Well, it wouldn't be one of
my games with out a rook lift would it?} 21. Nd2 g5 {A controversial move I
guess. Best was simply...} (21... Bxf4 22. gxf4 Rxe6 23. Rg1 {and White's
advantage is minimal I'd suggest. His bishop is pretty awful and Black doesn't
seem to have any weaknesses that White can get at for the moment.}) 22. Bxd6
Rxd6 23. Kg4 {This move took me by surprise. It's a bold king march but could
it be too bold. I could see what Danny was up to but now I was already looking
for way to sacrifice a pawn to open up the rooks' access to the enemy.
According to the all-seeing eye, the best way to proceed for White was...} (23.
e7 Re8 24. b4 {This is the right way to open the position and improve his
pieces.} axb4 25. axb4 Re6 26. bxc5 R6xe7 {and finally that troublesome Black
d-pawn looks like it might be doomed.}) 23... Rxe6 24. Nf3 $2 {This is a
mistake. Suddenly the king's escape route is blocked and Black has a brief
window of opportunity to strike and open up the position on the king's side
before White can defend himself.} f5+ $1 {I was pleased not only to have found
this move but also to have had the courage to play it. As I mentioned above,
it's difficult to persuade yourself that your illustrious opponent has not
just seen further than you and that there may be a sting in the tail beyond
your calculation horizon.} 25. exf5 Re3 {This it the point. The bishop is
under attack but 26...h5+ is also threatened. White is going to lose a piece.}
26. Rd1 {Alternatively...} (26. Nxg5 Rxd3 27. Rb1 Re8 {... is another way to
play when at least White has a passed pawn, though Black is still winning.})
26... h5+ 27. Kxh5 Rxf3 28. g4 $2 {This only compounds White's problems as now
the White king is completely marooned. Sure he can take the g-pawn but the
Black rooks will be rampant. I wasn't sure what result Danny was playing for
at this point. His demeanor suggested that he was not at all optimistic but
the moves he was making suggested he was trying to hustle me.} Kf7 $1 {Now the
Danny's king is going to get into seriously hot water. If he doesn't take the
g-pawn then Kf6 and Rh8 will be mate.} 29. Kxg5 Rg8+ 30. Kh4 {Now we come to a
very interesting juncture in the game from a psychological perspective. I
could see quite easily that I had a draw by perpetual check here. The question
was, did I have more. White has two pawns for the exchange but his king is in
such danger that it seems clear he will either get mated or end up losing his
king's side pawns. I decided to play on rather than take the draw.
Nevertheless if Danny had made his last move and offered me a draw I wonder
what I would have done. Left to make the decision myself I considered that I
may never again in my life have the chance to beat a Grand Master in any
format of the game. Moreover, I thought that if I'd been playing anyone else
I'd have carried on and played for a win. Why should this game be any
different?} Kf6 {Again leaving White with but one choice to stay alive.} 31.
g5+ Rxg5 32. Be2 {Again, the only move. The threat of Rf4 mate can only be
parried by preparing Bg4.} Rxb3 {Other moves were also possible but I decided
that I should try to grab more material whilst I could as long as I wasn't
giving Danny counterplay at the same time.} 33. Bg4 Rg8 34. Re1 {What else?}
Rh8+ 35. Bh5 Rxa3 {At this point I decided that the cleanest way to win might
well involve giving back some of my material advantage to simplify the
position. Both Rxh5+ then Rxh3+ and Rxh3+ and Rxh5+ sprang to mind. No rush
yet though, creat another passer.} 36. Kg4 {White can't allow Kxf5.} Re3 37.
Rb1 {He can hardly agree to a trade of rooks.} Ke5 38. Rxb7 {With two passed
pawns on the board, both of which the White king is cut off from, now seems
the right time to give the exchange back.} Rxh5 39. Kxh5 Kxf5 40. h4 a4 41. Rb5
Re5 {I had a particular idea in mind after...} 42. Ra5 d3 43. Rxa4 d2 {Danny
resigned here because he can't stop the d-pawn landing without giving up his
rook after...} (43... d2 44. Ra1 Kf4+ {Re1 also wins but I'd calculated...} 45.
Kg6 Ke3 {Simply walking the king up to e2. Whenever the Black d-pawn proves to
be decisive in an Albin Counter Gambit you feel your opening choice has been
vindicated.}) 0-1

1. e4 {Something of a surprise as I had come prepared to play a Grunfeld or

OK, so which variation of the Pirc defence will we have?} 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6

found on the Hebden Bridge Chess web site.}) 8... dxe4 9. Ng5 {In the notes to
the Leatherbarrow - Clarkson game, I wrote '8.Nxe4 dxe4 9.Ng5....is another
story'. I now began to ponder my next move. Of course the move is 9...c5, but
I so wanted to play 9...f5 and make it work like I have done at blitz on the
internet. Really? Give up the exchange for nebulous compensation against a GM?
Before I knew it Danny was back at the board and my hand made the decision for
me.} f5 $2 {Ludicrous. Danny must have felt certain he was playing a patzer.
Move 9 and his opponent was already losing the exchange. Under normal

move 9. It was at this point my brain took back control for the rest of the

the further cost of a pawn.} 17. Bc2 Bd7 18. Bxe4 {I must admit I would not
have fancied playing this as White.} (18. O-O {is Fritz' choice.}) 18... Re8 {
Now my hand was laughing and telling my brain to let it choose moves more
often. This was visually, if not technically, a great picture to look at.
Surely Black was going to stir up some trouble for White.} 19. f3 Qh4+ {and my
Knight will be coming to the party promptly via f5.} 20. Kf1 {Yes, I could see
Danny planned to cancel the party with 21.Qe1..., and send my own Queen home.
But wait a minute said my brain, isn't there a gigantic flaw in that move? I
decided to use my second pass to check for errors and consider his
alternatives.} Ne7 21. Qe1 $4 {Wow! I could not contain my excitement. How
would Danny react when he came by next time?} (21. Bd2 Nf5 22. Bxf5 Bxf5 23.

point. Fair enough.} Bxe2+ 23. Kxe2 Nf5 24. Bd2 (24. Rg1 Ng3+ 25. Kd3 Nxe4 26.

him suffer.}) 27... c5 {And still...} (27... Rxe4 28. Kxe4 Qe2+ 29. Kd5 Qxg2)
28. Be3 $2 {If...} (28. d5 {I planned} Qxb2 29. Rc1 b5) 28... c4+ {and Danny
threw in the towel. Well I am no longer fooling myself that I played well but
perhaps I am pleased that I set the scene for him to play some plausible moves
that were not the best.} 0-1

As almost every other game had finished and I was tired - Danny was exhausted,
having played 23 games and two re-matches - I called it a day. I learned that
Danny had won 14, drawn 6 (mine would have made it 7) and lost 3 games:
congratulations to Andy Bak, Andrew Clarkson and Dave Shapland; and to John
Morgan, whose game Danny said was the best. Heartfelt thanks to Dave for
organising a very successful event.} 1-0
