[Stewart, Douglas]

B40: Sicilian: 2...e6, Unusual lines

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.b3 Nc6 4.Bb5 Qc7 5.Bb2 a6 6.Bxc6 bxc6N
[6...Qxc6 is more consistent with 4 .. Qc7]

7.c4
I don't think this is the pawn structure White should be looking for [7.0-0 d6+/= ]

7...Bb7 8.d3 Ne7 9.Nbd2 d5 10.0-0 d4 11.a3 e5 12.Nh4 Ng6 13.Nf5 Nf4 14.g3?
[14.Nf3= ]

14...Ne6?
[>=14...Nxd3-/+ should be an easy win]

15.Nf3 g6 16.N5h4 Bg7 17.Bc1 0-0 18.Ne1 Bc8 19.Nhg2?!
White is starting to look under-developed [19.f4 exf4 20.gxf4 f5 21.exf5 gxf5= ]

19...Nd8?!
it's hard to see what kind of plan this move is part of

20.f4 Bh6
[20...f5=/+ ]

21.Nf3 f6 22.fxe5 Bxc1 23.Qxc1 fxe5 24.Qd2 Bg4 25.Ngh4 Bxf3
[25...Rb8 26.b4=/+ ]

26.Rxf3 Rxf3 27.Nxf3 Ne6 28.Rf1 Rb8 29.Rb1 a5 30.Kf2 a4 31.b4 cxb4 32.Rxb4 Rxb4?!
this endgame is a little shaky [>=32...Rf8! 33.Kg2 Nc5=/+ ]

33.Qxb4+/- Qf7
[33...Kf7 34.Ke2+/- ]

34.Ke2!
[34.Qxa4?! Ng5 35.Qd1 Nxf3 36.Qxf3 Qb7= and Black should have an easier time holding]

34...Qf6 35.Qxa4 Ng5 36.Nxg5
[36.Ng1!+/- is worth considering since Black doesn't have a good follow up]

36...Qxg5+/= 37.Qc2 Qe3+ 38.Kd1??
this just starts dropping the house [>=38.Kf1 Qf3+ 39.Kg1 Qe3+ 40.Kg2+/= ]

38...Qg1+-+ 39.Kd2 Qe3+??
What Black is thinking the news few moves is beyond me [>=39...Qxh2+ 40.Kc1 Qxg3-+ ]

40.Kd1= Qg1+ 41.Ke2 Qe3+??
[>=41...Qxh2+-+ ]

42.Kf1+/= Qf3+ 43.Kg1 Qe3+ 44.Kg2 g5?
[>=44...Qe1+/= ]

45.a4 g4 46.h3??
[>=46.Qd1 h5 47.a5+- ]

46...Qf3++/= 47.Kh2 gxh3?
[>=47...h5+/= ]

48.Kxh3
what's the rush? [48.a5! Kg7 49.a6+- ]

48...Qh1+ 49.Kg4 h5+ 50.Kg5 Qh3
[50...Qf3 51.Qh2 Qxd3 52.Qxh5 Qxg3+ 53.Qg4 Qf2+/- ]

51.Qe2+- Qxg3+ 52.Kxh5 Qh3+ 53.Kg5??
[>=53.Kg6 Qe6+ 54.Kg5+- and Black will eventually run out of checks]

53...Qg3+??
Black misses an obvious winning shot [>=53...Qe3+ 54.Qxe3 dxe3-+ and White can resign]

54.Kf5?
[>=54.Qg4+- wins immediately, since the only check coming up is the discovered one White will use]

54...Qf4+?!
the computer instead found a brilliant concept starting with a king move to try to draw [54...Kf8!! 55.Qh5 (55.a5 Ke7 56.a6 Qf4+ 57.Kg6 Qf6+ 58.Kh5 Qh8+ 59.Kg4 Qc8+ for instance picks up the pawn) 55...Qxd3 56.Qh6+ Ke7 57.Qe6+ Kf8 58.Kxe5 Qg3+ 59.Kxd4 Qf2+ 60.Kd3 Qf3+ 61.Kc2 Qf2+ 62.Kb3 Qb6+ 63.Kc3 Qe3+ 64.Kb4 Qb6+ 65.Ka3 Qe3+ 66.Ka2 Qf2+ 67.Ka1 Qd4+ 68.Kb1 Qg1+ 69.Kb2 Qf2+ 70.Kc1 Qe1+ 71.Kc2 Qf2+ 72.Kd1 Qf1+ 73.Kd2 Qf2+ 74.Kc3 Qe3+ 75.Kb4 Qb6+ 76.Kc3 Qe3+= ]

55.Ke6 Kf8?
[55...Qh6+ 56.Kxe5 Kf7 57.Qf2+ Ke7 58.Kxd4 Qd6+ 59.Ke3 Qc5+ 60.Ke2 Qh5+ 61.Qf3 Qa5+- and Black can continue to hope for a draw, but White is definitely winning]

56.Qh5
now a queen trade is inevitable 1-0
