White - Fred Spell  1302

Black - Brian Wall  2222

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. Nc3 Bd6!

I suffered for years against the 4 knights Ruy Lopez until
I adopted the Renae Defense and I've been happy ever since.

5. Bxc6??

Positionally hideous -
The problem with Renae openings is that one bishop blocks another -
... a6 is a constant theme to entice B:c6 -
I save a key tempo with this completely unmotivated exchange.
I often counter the trade-trade-lose policies of my
fellow Coloradans with my avoid-trade-win attitude.

I try to play like a computer and grind them down
relentlessly, remorselessly, like the sea washing
over sand. Then I check to see how well my plan worked.

5 ...  dxc6!

Both bishops are free now.

6. d4!

Darn - I wanted to lock up the center with ... c5

6 ...  exd4!  7. Nxd4?

I was hoping for  7 Q:d4!  0-0!  8 e5??  B:e5!

7 ... O-O

7 ... Bb4  and ... Bc5 have been tried as well but
no one found 7 ... Be5!!  8  Be3  Ng4  9 Nf5  B:f5
10 ef  N:e3  11 Q:d8+  R:d8  12 fe   or
7 ... Be5!!  8  Nde2  Q:d1+  9  K:d1
with a promising endgame for Black in
both cases. I don't know how good though.

8. O-O  Re8

I have a very comfortable position -
8 ... Qe7!! , ... Be5!!  and many others
give me a great game.

9. Re1 c5?? TL

Theoretical Lemon by Brian Wall

I was even thinking how my recent game with Jacob Zax
had completely destroyed my tactical confidence but
I still went for  9 Re1  c5??  10 Ndb5!!  N:e4??
11 N:e4!!    R:e4??  12 R:e4!  B:h2+??  13  K:h2  Q:d1??
14  Re8  checkmate

Even more embarrassing, the correct idea is the
Fishing Pole setup  9 ... Ng4!!  10  h3  Bc5!!
11 hg  Q:d4

10. Nf3

Played quickly.

10 ...  Bg4!  11. Bg5 h6! 12. Bxf6??

More trade, trade, lose stuff,
handing over the two bishops
again for nothing. Positionally heinous.

12 ...  Qxf6! 13. h3 Bh5

As opposed to my opponents I avoid
trades until I am sure I can win.

14.  g4?

Positionally heinous -
weakening the Kingside for nothing.

14 ...  Bg6!  15. Kg2 c6

Keeping the knight out of d5
and preparing a two-bishop squeeze.

16. Re2 Bf4!!

Restricting the e2-rook
and preparing ... Rad8

17. Rb1??

Reserve Section Mystery -
freeing the c3-knight I
suppose

17 ...  Rad8!!  18. Qe1 Rd7

To gang up on the e-pawn -
18 ... h5!!  weakening
White's King further is best.

19. e5!  Qe6!  20. Ne4 Qxa2

Opening up the position for
my two bishops - many good moves
like 20 ... b6!!!  and  ... R:d5!!

21. Nxc5

maybe  21 b3!  cutting off
my Queen for taking a pawn

21 ... Rde7!!  22. Nd3

maybe  22 b3!  cutting off
my Queen for taking a pawn

22 ... Bxd3!! 23. cxd3! Qd5!!  24. d4!  f6!!

Every opening is a fight for one square -
IM Joe Fang

Here my pressure on e5 has
reached its crescendo.

25. Rd1 Qb5!!

Attacking everything in sight.

26. Re4

On 26 Ra1  fe!!  27  de b6!!
to keep Fred out of a5

26 ... fxe5!!  27. dxe5!  Bxe5!!

Finally winning a pawn.

28. Rb4 Qc5!!  29. Rc1 Qd5!!  30. Qd2 Qxd2!!
31. Nxd2!  Bd6 32. Rb3 Bf4!!

Fred is falling apart -
33 ... Re2 will attack everything
after 38 Rd3  or Re2 -
I have the additional threat of
... Be3  after ... Re2

33. Rd1 Rd8

winning a piece

Fred resigns   0-1
