{ 00029.5.14 Analyzed by National Master Corey Russell } 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 { This move is playable, but rather passive. Now your 
dark-squared bishop can't be deployed to an active post. 
I would recommend the more active ...Nc6. } 3. Bc4 Be6 4. Qe2 a6 { While getting space is a laudable goal, in the early 
phases of the game, you want to get your pieces mobilized. 
...Nc6 would do that, plus help restrain the d4 advance that 
white would like to do. } 5. Nc3 b5 6. Bd5 c6 7. Bxe6 fxe6 8. d4 exd4 9. Nxd4 e5 10. Qh5+ g6 11. Bg5 Nf6 { Actually, 11. ... gxh5 12. Bxd8 Kxd8 would have won a piece. 
Would've went a long way to help black win the game. } 12. Qf3 Bg7 { This misses white's threat. White has 2 pieces on the knight 
at f6 -- white will now a tactical idea called "removing the 
defender", which should have won the game for white. Black's 
only defense is ...Kf7. It wouldn't be too bad in this position, 
because if needed, black can always castle "by hand" by playing 
...Be7, ...Rf8, ...Kg8. } 13. Ne6 Qe7 14. Nxg7+ Kf7 15. Bh6 Rg8 16. g4 g5 17. Nh5 { This gives black a chance. If white would've taken the 
post near the center (Nf5), and followed up with h4, O-O-O, 
white would have soon won. } 17... Rg6 18. Qf5 { This does nothing. 18. h4! would have soon won the game..
too many threats. For example, if 18. ... Rxh6 19. hxg5 Rg6 
20. Nxf6, and black could safely resign. } 18... Qd7 19. Bg7 Qxf5 20. exf5 Rxg7 21. O-O-O d5 22. f3 Nxh5 23. gxh5 g4 { This is wrong. Black's queen side isn't developed. Should 
be a top priority, because the more pieces you have involved 
in the battle, the more likely you will succeed in breaking 
through. Even ...Kf6 is a superior move. The king can be 
(and often is) a fighting piece in the endgame. } 24. h6 Rg5 25. Rhg1 Rxf5 26. fxg4 Rf4 27. Rdf1 Rxf1+ 28. Rxf1+ Kg6 29. Rf5 { White threw away his advantage with this move. 29. Rf8 Kxh6 
30. h4 would have paralyzed black, and white would have all 
the time he needed to work on his own plans. After this, black 
gets developed and has the better game because of white's weak 
king-side pawns and black's formidable pawn mass in the center. } 29... Nd7 30. Rh5 Re8 31. Ne2 e4 { This is playable, but 31. ... Nf6 (attacks the rook on h5 
and pawn at g4) 32. Rh4 Kg5 would win 2 pawns and the game. } 32. Nf4+ Kf6 33. g5+ { This was a serious error by white. White's only plus is 
his king-side pawn majority, so he should've looked for a 
way to mobilize them. The way to do that was 33. Rf5+ Ke7 
34. g5, which would make it a lot harder for black. Notice 
black couldn't even have tried 34. ... Rf8? in that variation, 
because white's pawns are too fast. e.g., 34. ... Rf8 
35. g6! Rxf5 36. gxh7 Rf8 37. Ng6+ Kf7 38. Nxf8, and black 
can't stop white from playing h8Q. This illustrates the 
power of the advanced, passed pawns. } 33... Kf5 34. Ne2 Kg6 35. Nf4+ Kf5 36. Nh3 e3 { Instead, 36. ... Kg4 would have forked the white's rook 
and knight, winning a piece. } 37. Kd1 Kg6 38. Nf4+ Kf5 39. Nh3 Kg4 { This is winning for black, but because of low time, both 
players agreed to a draw. So in conclusion, get your pieces 
developed in the early stages. Also, when calculating 
variations, see what you get vs. your opponents, to see 
if you could win material. Early in the game, black could 
have gotten Q & B, while white would get black's queen. 
Only by using all your forces will you have good chances 
of success. } ?
