My Game

This is a sample post demonstrating the use of the Chessbase game replay tool. As an example, I have chosen one of my rare good games
[Event "NJ Open"] [Site "?"] [Date "2013.09.02"] [Round "3"] [White "McCaffery, Mike"] [Black "Gottlieb"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "E43"] [Annotator "Gottlieb,Paul"] [PlyCount "62"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 b6 5. Nf3 Bb7 6. Bd3 Ne4 7. Qc2 f5 8. a3 ( 8. O-O) 8... Bxc3+ 9. bxc3 O-O 10. O-O d6 ({One other idea is} 10... Rf6 11. Nd2 Rh6 12. f3 (12. g3 $2 Qh4 13. gxh4 Rg6+ 14. Kh1 Nxf2#) (12. Nxe4 fxe4 13. Bxe4 $2 Qh4 $15)) (10... c5 {Another idea, to fix White's c4 pawn}) 11. Nd2 ( 11. d5 Nc5 12. Nd4 (12. dxe6 Bxf3 13. gxf3 Qf6 $17) 12... Qf6 $11) 11... Qh4 12. f3 (12. g3 Ng5 13. gxh4 $4 Nh3#) 12... Nxd2 13. Qxd2 Nd7 14. Qc2 Nf6 { This may not be neccessary. White can eventually play e4, but the idea is to be ready to meet it with e5. This will lock up his white-squared bishop} 15. Bb2 Rae8 16. Rae1 g6 17. Qb3 c5 18. a4 Rb8 (18... g5 $5 {This is an interesting idea. I had a glimpse of this idea in the game, but I couldn't work it out} 19. a5 g4 20. f4 (20. axb6 gxf3 21. gxf3 Bxf3 $19) 20... Be4 21. Bxe4 Nxe4 {Dan says this is strategically won for Black. I don't know about that, but my knight is much the better piece}) 19. a5 bxa5 20. Qa3 e5 21. dxc5 dxc5 22. Qxc5 {Risky grab of a pawn} Bxf3 23. Ba3 $2 {This loses by force} (23. gxf3 Rxb2 $15) 23... Ng4 24. h3 Qg3 25. Rxf3 Qh2+ 26. Kf1 Qh1+ 27. Ke2 Qxg2+ 28. Kd1 Qxf3+ {This is absolutely winning, but} (28... Rfd8 $1 {Is just crushing}) 29. Re2 (29. Kc1 Qf2 30. Qd5+ Kh8 31. Rf1 Qxe3+ $19) 29... Nf2+ 30. Kd2 Nxd3 31. Kxd3 Rfd8+ 0-1
