Ahmad Fadzil Nayan (2009) - Abel Yap Jinwei (2060) 
Asian Amatuer, Round 6, 28.11.2011

Analyzed by Centaur (Hairulov + Houdini)

1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 e6 5. g3 Nbd7 6. Qd3 Be7 7. Bg2 O-O 8. O-O b6 9. e4 dxe4 10. Nxe4 Bb7 11. Bf4 Nxe4 12. Qxe4 Nf6 


13. Qc2 Theory suggest 13. Qe2.  

13... c5 14. Rad1 Qc8 Now the drawback of playing 13.Qc2 is clear. After black play cxd4, he will continue to pressure white's queen on c2 with b5.  

15. Qe2 cxd4 16. Nxd4 Bxg2 17. Kxg2 Rd8 18. b3 Bc5 19. Nb5 a6 20. Nc3 Bd4 21. Be5 Qc6+ 22. f3 Bxe5 23. Qxe5 h6 24. Rd4 Rxd4 25. Qxd4 Ra7 26. Qd8+ Kh7 27. Rd1 Rd7 28. Rxd7 Nxd7 29. Qh4 f5 30. Qd4 Nf6 31. h3 Nd7 32. b4 g5 33. a4 Kg6 34. g4 The game is quite balance so far but Abel mistakenly decide to push the h-pawn with....

34...h5? 34... Nf6 is a viable option   

35. gxh5+ Kxh5?? Mistakes come in pairs. Abel should have realized his previous mistake and continue to play with a pawn down with 35...Kh7, instead he choose to take the pawn.


36. Qg7 Believe it or not but white is  threatening mate in 1 with 37.Qh7++ checkmate.  

36...g4 37. hxg4+ fxg4 38. Ne4 gxf3+ 39. Kxf3 1-0 Black resign because he have to give big materials to avoid being mate instantly for e.g. 39...Ne5+ 40. Qxe5+ Kg6 White is simply a piece up and Houdini gave a force mate in 24...whatsoever :)
