[Event "Dundee B vs Perth A"] [Site "?"] [Date "2018.01.26"] [Round "?"] [White "Gourlay, M."] [Black "Dawson, A."] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "A05"] [WhiteElo "1907"] [BlackElo "1723"] [PlyCount "84"] 1.

Black wants to play ..f4 and ..f5 but at the same time he wishes to restrain d4. A White N is soon to come to d5 and can only be chased away with ..c6. Then the N goes to c4 and can jump into b6 at will. It then takes the Bc8 and Black is then very weak on the white squares. At the board this all looked very likely but at the same time Nd5 had to be countered.} 13. Ne3 c6 14. Nc4 Qc7 15. Be3 c5 16. Bd2 f5 17. Ne3 f4 {Black is finding it hard to have had a plan that could stop this weakness. On the plus side he has made good progress on the f-file.} 18. Nd5 Qf7 19. Rf1 Ra6 {not a pretty move to agree to but it does a job. Without the Bc8 White has an easy game with Bh3 and Qb3.} 20. Qb3 Kh8 { Ne7+ had been a threat and the Bc8 goes.} 21. Bh3 Nd4 {I thought that this move won outright but missed some calculation as the clcok was running down.} 22. cxd4 Bxh3 23. Ng5 Qd7 24. Ne7 {with the cunning threat of Qg8+ and smothered mate!} Qxe7 {but this was not best. Had I had more time I would have searched out ..Bf6 that causes Black difficulty – in fact he ought to recapture on h3 with the Q and f3 is hard to stop.} 25. Nxh3 f3 26. Ng5 exd4 27. Qe6 Qxe6 28. Nxe6 Rf7 {and now all hope of a win have gone and Black is hanging on having to protect the f3 pawn with his Rook.} 29. h3 Be5 30. Ra3 b6 31. Rb3 Ng7 32. Nf4 Bxf4 33. Bxf4 Ne8 34. Bg5 Kg7 35.
