Ok - I will try to annotate one of Dominic's games, which is not going to be easy!
1.d4
Nf6
2.Nf3
e6
3.g3
b5
Well I don't know much about this opening and at first glance I thought this is a typical Dominc move, get
his opponent out of theory - but it seems that this has been played by such esteemed players as ex World Champions Karpov and Kasparov. Maybe I had better stick to the Kings Indian Defence!
4.Bg2
Bb7
5.0-0
c5
6.c3
Nc6
[6...Be7
7.Bg5
is more common]
7.Bg5
Rb8
and I can't find anything on this. [7...d5
8.Nbd2
is another way]
8.Nbd2
[8.dxc5
Maybe White needs to take advantage of the fact the Black has not played d5 8...Bxc5
9.b4
Be7+/=
]
8...d5
9.a4
b4
This now seems to be level, but I would prefer Blacks position. Although not castled he has active pieces and the pawn thrust does not seem
too early
10.cxb4
Nxb4
11.Bf4
This just seems to help Black develop his black squared Bishop
11...Bd6
12.Bxd6
Qxd6
13.Nb3
Again, the helps Black [13.dxc5
Qxc5
14.Rc1
Qb6
15.Nb3=
]
13...c4
14.Nc5
Na6
This could be a move that White missed, the White Knight looks very strong on C5, but it cannot stay there
15.Nxa6
Bxa6
16.Qc2
0-0
17.Ne5
White has got a strong outpost for his Knight, but Black is going to penetrate on the B file. White's White squared Bishop is not that active
17...Rb3
18.Rfd1
Rfb8
19.Ra2
Qb6
Increasing the pressure on the B pawn and White has always got to be worried about the C pawn push
20.Rd2
g6
21.h3
Kg7
22.g4
Qc7
23.g5
Ne8
I don't think these have been the most accurate moves by both players, but White seems to have wnated to get active - but then plays a move that looks OK - but ....
24.e4
[24.Qc1
and Black is only slightly better]
24...c3
White resigned as
25.bxc3
Rxc3
loses the Queen. A fine game by Dominic. 0-1
