1. d4 Nc6!!

Praying for a Full Metal Jacket
the way some people wait for the
rise of the Republican Party again.

2. Nf3 f6!!

This was initially designed as an Anti-1400-London System.
I will hide in my Badger in his f7 den or lash out wildly
with Badger claws and teeth after ... e5!?.
Students of Badgeronomy should take special
note that either Knight can reach f7.

3. d5 Ne5!

I try to invent subvariations
depending on where my Knight ends up.

4. Nxe5  fxe5!  5. e4!

GM Gerhard Schebler was in shock and
took 1:19 to make 5 opening moves.

5 ... Nf6! 6. Nc3!  e6!

The Badger takes a peek from his den to see if there are any
bobcats, cougars, coyotes, wolves or bears lurking about.

7. dxe6!  d6 8. Bc4!  c6!  9. a4 Qe7! 10. Nd5!!

Yup, I'm playing a real GM,
Gerhard is willing to sac a
Knight for a central wedge.

10 ...  cxd5!  11. Bb5+  Kd8!  12. exd5!  Nxd5!?

Fighting back -
no wedgies please.

13. Qxd5!  Bxe6!  14. Qe4 Kc7

4 minutes left for me,
2 for the Badger bitten

15. O-O!  Rc8 16. a5 Kb8 17. a6!  Rc5

I was afraid of  17  ... b6  18 Bc1-e3:b6

18. c4!  Bc8 19. f4

GM Schebler's move technique is deteriorating
as he gets down to under a minute. I still
have 2:08.
19  ab!!  or  Be3!!
are fairly carniverous.

19 ... bxa6!

Trading anything off is a miracle when your King is exposed.
19  ... d5!!  is best but opens lines against myself.

20. Bxa6  Bxa6!  21. Rxa6!  Qb7!  22. Qxb7+!  Kxb7!  23. Ra4!  d5!

Trying to stay active.

24. fxe5 Rxc4!  25. Rf7+  Kc6!  26. Rxc4+!  dxc4!  27. Be3!

The endgame is about even,
GM Schebler is under 30 seconds and
I have a minute more than he does.

27 ...  a5 28. Kf2 Bc5

28 ... Kd5!!=

29. Bxc5!  Kxc5!  30. Ke3 Rb8!!

Now I am OK on the board.
GM - 20 seconds
Badger - 1:09

31. Rc7+ Kd5!!  32. e6 Kxe6 33. Rxc4 Rxb2!

I have the better of a possible draw now.

34. Rc7 Kf6 35. h4 Rxg2!!

Beating the GM on the
clock and on the board.

36. Ra7

GM -     10 seconds
Badger - 51 seconds

36 ... Rh2!  37. Ra6+!  Kf7!  38. Ra7+ Kg8 39. Kf4 Rxh4+!

Up three pawns plus 33 seconds on the Grandmaster.

40. Kf5 Ra4 41. Ke6 h6

{White forfeits on time}  0-1

I had 34 seconds left but
I've seen the Badger before.
