Board 1  G/55+5 (delay)  A38 English Opening  Symmetrical Defense  (by transposition - 7.c4) 1.e4!? I thought about playing e3 but decided to take a full leap. c5 2.Nf3 g6 The Hyper-Accelerated Dragon, something I've never used or played against. 3.d3 3.c3 ∆Bg7 3...d5 4.exd5 Qxd5 is another way to play. 4.d4 is probably best but, since my foe likely knows that better than I do, let's try a K's Indian Attack. 3...Bg7 4.g3 Nc6 5.Bg2 e5 5...d6 is more flexible. 6.0-0 Nf6 This is fine but I prefer 6...d6 with the options of ...Nge7 & ...f5. 7.c4 On 2nd thought... let's play an English. 7.Nc3 makes a Closed Sicilian. 7.Nbd2 remains a Reti. 7...0-0 8.Nc3 d6 9.h3 This is the most common move in the position. It prepares a possible Be3 & stops ...Bg4. Be6 Diagram
Instead of copying with 9...h6 Black breaks the symmetry. 10.Nd5N There have been 3 games with 10.Be3 2 with 10.Kh2 1 with 10.Bg5 & 1 with 10.Ng5 10...Qd7 11.Kh2 Rfe8 This misplaces the R & leaves f6 weak. 11...Rab8 ∆12.Bg5 Ne8= 11...h6? loses a P to 12.Bxh6!± /\ Bxh6? 13.Nxf6+ Kg7 14.Nxd7+- 12.Bg5 Here 12.Bh6?! is neutralized by Nxd5 Again, not 12...Bxh6?? 13.Nxf6++- 13.Bxg7 Nc3 14.bxc3 Kxg7 12...Bxd5 13.cxd5 Nd4 14.Nxd4 cxd4 14...exd4 15.Qd2 15.Rc1! ∆Rac8?! 15...Rec8 , clearing e8 for the N, is right. 16.Qf3!± 15...Rac8 16.f4?! 16.Rfc1 16...Nh5? 16...exf4 17.gxf4 Qa4= /\ ...Rc2 would have restored the balance. 17.f5? 17.Bf3! exf4 ≤17...h6 18.Bh4 17...f6?! 18.Bg4 Qe7 19.Bh4 18.Bxh5! fxg3+ 19.Kxg3 Be5+ 20.Bf4 gxh5 21.Bxe5 Rxe5 22.Qh6 /\ Rf6 would have given me a clear plus. 17...f6 18.Bh6 18.Bh4 g5 19.Bf3 gxh4 20.Bxh5 hxg3+ 21.Kxg3 Re7 was little or no better. 18...g5 18...Bxh6 19.Qxh6 Qg7 &, with the veiled attack on g3, White is forced into 20.Qxg7+ Kxg7= 19.Bxg7 Nxg7 20.Rac1 Rc7? This lets me take control of the c-file. 20...Red8= as Ram suggested in the post-mortem. 21.Rxc7 Qxc7 22.Rc1 Qd7 23.Qb4 h5 24.Bf3?! 24.Qc4 keeps a firm grip on the position. 24...Rd8 24...Rc8 ∆25.Rxc8+ or 25.Rc4 Rc7 26.Be2 25...Qxc8 26.Qxd6?! h4! 27.Qxf6?? Qc2+ 28.Bg2 hxg3+ 29.Kxg3 Nh5+-+ 25.Qc4 h4? 25...Rf8± ∆26.Qc7 Qxc7 27.Rxc7 Rf7 26.Qc7?! 26.gxh4 gxh4 27.Qc2 26...hxg3+ 27.Kxg3 Ne8?? Now White wins. 27...Kf7± 28.Qxd7 Rxd7 29.Rc8 Kf8 30.Bh5 Re7 31.Kg4 Black is reduced to P moves. His K & R are bound to the pinned, twice-attacked N. b6 32.Bg6 a6 33.Kh5 b5 34.b4 Zugzwang! Kg7 Instead of throwing in the towel, Ram sends the steed to the glue factory. 35.Bxe8 Ra7 36.Rd8 a5 37.Rd7+ Rxd7 38.Bxd7 Black resigns.    Time left - Moldovan 13:49, Damodaran 33:15 Estimated time used - Moldovan 44:21, Damodaran 24:55    Longest think by White - 6 minutes for 18.Bh6  Longest think by Black - 4 minutes for 16...Nh5? 38.Bxd7 After axb4 39.Bxb5 Kh7 40.Be8 Kg7 41.Bg6 Kg8 42.Kh6 Kf8 or 42...Kh8 43.Bf7 43.Kh7 Ke7 44.Kg7 Black has to shed Ps.
