C64 Spanish Game: Classical Defence (3...Bc5) except 4.O-O Nf6 (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Bc5)

C64 Spanish Game: Classical Defence (3...Bc5) except 4.O-O Nf6 (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Bc5)

This one was played in the 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen II tournament that is held at Red Hot Pawn. I am currently second in the tournament but I still have some chances for taking the first place and be the winner of the tournament. Only time will tell what will happen. I have already secured at least third place in the 21 player tournament so this will not be a huge disaster no matter what happens in my remaining games.

Up to the move 7...d5 both players played if not accurately, at least reasonably. The diagram below shows the position in which my opponent played 8.d4, a move that created problems for jose sureda. Both pawn captures 8...dxe4 and 8...exd4 good enough to take the advantage. However, with accurate play my opponent should still be holding the position.

It was a better idea to push the pawn only one square forward to d3.

The penultimate mistake from jose sureda saw the light of day when he played 15.Qd2 in the next diagram position. The move that my opponent played ignored my threat of Nc2 completely and it was something that jose sureda could not afford to do.

15.Qb3+ would seem to me the best option for White.

I was mostly able to keep my winning advantage, but I did mess up on move 28, when I played c5. The position where I played that move can be seen in the next diagram. I should be clearly better after that move, but the sloppy move gave some unnecessary counterplay to my opponent.

For example, a move like 28...Bxc3 would have been clearly better than what I did in the game.

The game continued with the moves 29.Ne4 Qe7 and then jose sureda made the move that lost the game 30.Rxc5. I replied with 30...Bb6 and it should be quite clear that the game is over.
