William E. O'Neil Junior is a decent looking guy with the air of self-discipline

White - William E. O'Neil Junior  1604

Black - The infamous Brian Wall   2232

1. e4 e5

I took a refreshing 20 minute walk in the rain before the game
on my clock. William did not want to use my new wood board I
bought for $25 at the Pikes Peak Open. So far I have only drawn
Renae Anderson with it. He was OK with my wooden pieces though.

2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Na5 6. Bb5+ Bd7

156 years old, at least.
recommended by Watson and Schiller in
Beating Annoying Openings.
6 ... Bd7 has been responsible for some rousing
Dylan Lehti-Renae Delaware games.
Everyone else in this town is still absorbing
Fine, I A Horowitz and Reinfeld.

7. Be2

Played 11 times,
including a Dortmund 2007
Mamedyarov-Naiditsch game

7 ...  h6  TN Wall

Theoretical Novelty 7,759,984
by Wall

Only  7 ... N:d5 and ... Bd6
have been played

8. Nf3 e4 9. Nd4 Bc5 10. Nb3 Nxb3 11. axb3 Nxd5 12. O-O Qh4
13. Nc3 Nxc3 14.bxc3 O-O 15. Ba3 Qe7 16. Bxc5 Qxc5

Everyone I play is a &%$#ing lumberjack, chop, chop, chop!
Chessmaster Josh Bloomer
followed by a rousing techno karaoke impression.

17. Ra2

An interesting decision to reroute the heavy pieces through a1
ala Reti, rather than chip away at the center via d3 or f3.

17 ... Rad8 18. Qa1 Bc6

One of my infinite Chess theories is that grabbing a safe looking rook pawn
during a middle game often results in a backlash groundswell in the center of
the board which washes the pawnsnatcher away. I suppose most Chess atheists
would guard the a7-pawn. Experts want pawns, Masters want squares.

19. Rd1 f5 20. Rxa7 f4

Alekhine in his day used to sac rooks for this powerful pawn duo.

21. Ra5 Qe7 22. Bc4+ Kh8

Bill has his pawn but every one of my pieces and pawns is poised for attack.
Bill thought for 17 minutes over his next two moves but everything just got
worse and worse.

23. b4 e3 24. dxe3 fxe3 25. fxe3 Qxe3+ 26. Kh1 Bxg2+

It's over.

27. Kxg2 Rf2+ 28. Kg1 Rdf8

Now I look for artistic finishes.
No rush for the quickest mate.
How gauche.

29. Bd5 Qg5+ 30. Kh1 Rxh2+
31. Kxh2 Rf2+ 32. Kh1

There is a yoyo trick called walk the dog -
the Chess equivalent would be
32 Kh3  Qh5+  33 Kg3  Qh2+  34 Kg4  Rf4  checkmate

32 ... Qh4+

0-1  William E. O'Neil Junior resigns
