[Event "Internet Friendly 5 minute"] [Site "Internet Chess Club"] [Date "2016.08.14"] [Round "?"] [White "LifeWithoutChes"] [Black "Hatem, Khalil(IM)"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B01"] [WhiteElo "1332"] [BlackElo "1400"] [Annotator "Llewellyn, Alan."] [PlyCount "93"] [EventDate "2016.??.??"] {This is a match between InternationalMaster Khalil Hatem and Andrew a promising junior from the states. Andrew shows his metal in beating the international master with a series of cutting blows. With even time between them at the start, his opponent competely underestimates the fine young lad and comes unstuck.} 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. Nc3 Nxd5 4. Nxd5 Qxd5 {Its actually an alekhines defence transposition.} 5. Nf3 Bg4 6. Be2 Nc6 7. O-O e5 8. d3 O-O-O 9. Be3 f5 10. c4 Qd7 11. a3 {presumably to stop 11...Nb4 and to help with the advance of the b-pawn.} h6 12. b4 Bxf3 13. gxf3 $2 $17 (13. Bxf3 Qxd3 14. Bd5 Qxd1 15. Rfxd1 f4 16. Bxa7 Rxd5 $3 $13 (16...

Qb2+ ( 19. dxc4 $4 Rxd2 $19) 19... Nb4 20. dxc4 $18) 16. Re1 $1 {Good move if now 16.. .Nxe2 17.Rxe2 Qxd3 18.Qxd3 Rxd3 then Andrew has a pawn for a pawn, with 19. Rxe5.} Rhe8 17. Bf1 $1 Qc6 18. Bg2 Qxc5 19. Qd2 Rd6 20. Bh3+ Kb8 21. Qxf4 $2 { This looks like a great move to even an International Master but it turns out that it has a fundamental flaw.} Rg6+ $2 (21... Rf6 $3 22. Qe4 Nxf3+ 23. Kh1 Nxe1 24. Rxe1 $19) 22. Kh1 Nc2 $4 {This move also looks good 'on paper' but Andrew finds the winning move here to not only get out of trouble but to put his esteemed opponent in great trouble.} 23. Qf7 $3 Qc6 $4 {IM Khalil doesn't see trouble up ahead. Instead of shipping material he goes all out to both defend his attacked material and wait to attack himself with his Knight forking the two Rooks. A plan which Baldrick from Blackadder would be proud. Note- 23...Rge6?? just wastes time as the Bishop on h3 is covering that square. } (23... Rd8 24. Qxg6 Nxe1 25. Rxe1 $18 {effectively shipping a Knight is best here.}) 24. Bd7 $1 {Winning the Queen.} Qxd7 (24... Qd6 $4 25. Qxe8#) 25. Qxd7 Rge6 26. Rec1 Nd4 27. Rab1 R6e7 28. Qd5 c6 29. Qe4 Rf8 30. Kg2 Rf4 31.

Rd7+ {after that display of good technique by both players, finally Andrew has broken through the defences and is about to checkmate. InternationalMaster Hatem loses on time, having lost to a 15 year old who is rapidly showing his class.} 1-0 [Event "Internet Friendly Time Odds 3 2(1 1)"] [Site "Internet Chess Club"] [Date "2016.08.06"] [Round "?"] [White "LifeWithoutChes"] [Black "Har-Zvi, Ronen(GM)"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B01"] [WhiteElo "1395"] [BlackElo "2802"] [Annotator "Llewellyn,Alan"] [PlyCount "63"] [EventDate "2016.??.??"] {This is on paper (on rating) not a match up between young Andrew and Ronen Har-Zvi the well known Israeli grandmster. Despite the time odds nature when Ronen only had 1 minute and 1 second increment to Andrews 3 minutes and 2 second increment, it is still an incredible result as Ronen can often get wins with only 5 seconds on the clock.} 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3.
