1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Nxf6+ gxf6 {
As usual DBJ chooses an offbeat openingline} 6. Nf3 6... Bd7 7. Bd3
Bc6
8. O-O Qd6 9. Be3 Nd7 10. c4 O-O-O {
Castling right into it, but there is also a threat} 11. a3 11... Rg8
12. b4 Ne5 {With some nasty tactics coming up!} 13. d5 {Countering 
the DBJ stroke and entering a very interesting tactical phase} 13...
Bxd5 14. cxd5 Qxd5 15. Be2 Qe4 16. Bd2 Bh6 17. g3 Qf5 18. Ra2 Nxf3+
19. Bxf3
Bxd2 20. Rxd2 Rxd2 21. Bxb7+ Kxb7 22. Qxd2 {End of the tactics. Black 
is a pawn up, but Rebel owns the d-file and DBJ'rs king is not 
very  safe} 22... Qg5 23. Qd7 Rg7 24. Qe8 a6 25. a4 Qd5 26. b5 a5 27.
Re1 Qc4
28. Rd1 Qc2 29. Rf1 {Not very convincing, but as DBJ refuses to get 
activity instead of giving up a pawn, no harm is done by this 
unfortunate rook manoeuvre} 29... f5 30. Qf8 Qc3 {
Bad, as now the white rook enters the scene. 30... Rg4 
looks okay for black} 31. Rd1 h5 32. Rd8 Qe1+ 33. Kg2 Qe4+ 34. f3 Qe2+
35.
Kh3 {Checks are running out, leaving Rebel with a winning attack}
35... Rxg3+ {Desperation!} 36. Kxg3 36... Qe1+ 37. Kh3 Qf1+ 38. Kh4
Qxf3 39.
Kg5 Ka7 40. Qc5+ Kb7 41. Kf6 Qd5 42. Rxd5 exd5 {with a mate
announcement.}

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 d6 4. Nc3 e6 5. e4 Be7 {
Another dubious opening line. DBJ seems to be fond of offbeat  lines}
6. Be3 6... O-O 7. h3 exd5 8. cxd5 Qb6 9. Rb1 Qa5 10. Bd2 Bd7 11. Be2
Re8 12.

12... c4 13. Qc1 Bd8 14. Nf3 Bb6 {Preventing Rebel from castling} 15.
Rf1
15... Rc8 16. Qc2 Na6 17. a3 Re8 {
Again back with the rook, DBJ is asking for it!} 18. e5 18... dxe5 19.
fxe5 Nxd5 20. Ng5 {Whoops, this attacks h7 and f7.} 20... g6 21. Rxf7
Be6 22. Rxh7 Bf5 23. Nxd5 {Another nice tactical shot by Rebel} 23...
Qxd5 24. Qxc4 Qxc4 25. Bxc4+ Be6 26. Bb5 Bf5 27. Bxe8 Rxe8 {
White is material up, but still has problems with his king to solve} 
28. Rc1 28... Nc5 29. g4 Rxe5+ 30. Kd1 Be6 31. Nxe6 Kxh7 32. Nf8+ Kg8
33.
Nxg6 Re6 34. b4 Ne4 35. Nh4 Nf2+ 36. Kc2 Nxh3 {Rebel has given back 
material in order to stop the attacking threats. There remains a 
winning ending and Rebel has no problems converting its advantage 
into a win} 37. a4 37... Nf2 38. g5 Nh3 39. Kb3 Re8 40. g6 Nf2 41. Nf5
Ng4
42. Rh1 Bd4 {
Otherwise Bc3 is decisive. The rest of the game requires no comment}

5.
Nc3 Bb4 6. Nf3 Qd6 {DBJ just loves funny queen moves} 7. a3 7... Bxc3+
8. bxc3 Qc6 {What did I tell you!} 9. Bb2 9... Qb5 10. Qb1 Nc6 11. e4 
{And after 11 moves black is dead lost. Terrible play by black} 11...

What is it doing? No, this can't impress me!} 15. d5 15... Bd7 16. Be3

Nxb1 29. Bd5 Rh8 {Because of an operating error and the inability of 
Deep Blue Junior to take back moves the game ended here. It is 
clear, though, that White is completely winning.} 30. Nxf7 1-0
