Great game Sune. :-) Ok, a last one. This was my first victory against a titled
player, and was also the tournament where I got my first FIDE block. The added
kingside attack made it a memorable one. Prior to the event, my rating had been
1880, and one had to be at least 2000 to get in the rarefied Swiss. So I took
the natural path: I lied. I claimed I was well-rated abroad, and figured they
wouldn't care enough to verify. The game was in the first round against FM
Ricardo Teixeira.
White: Teixeira, R. Black: Silver, A.
1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 O-O 5.d3 (I had been hoping he'd play a King's
Indian, but with this I was already on my own) d6 6.Nf3 e5 7.O-O Nc6 8.Rb1 a5
9.a3 Nh5 10.b4 axb4 11.axb4 f5 12.Nd5 f4 13.b5 Ne7 14.Nd2 g5 (I knew this meant
the lost of the exchange, but figured the action was on the kingside, so if it
detracted his pieces, all the better) 15.b6 c6 16.Nc7 Ra5 17.Ne4 g4 18.Bd2 Ra2
19.Qb3 Rxd2 20.Nxd2 Nf5 21.Rfc1 Bh6 22.Rb2 fxg3 23.hxg3 Nhxg3! 24.fxg3 (I had a
cute move waiting for him if he declined and tried to bring in the queen: 24.Qd1
Ne3!! 25.Qe1 (25.fxe3 Bxe3+ 26.Kh2 Qh4+) Nxg2 26.Kxg2 Qh4 27.fxg3 Qh3+ 28.Kg1
Be3+) Be3+ 25.Kf1 Nd4+ (he later told me he only continued because he was still
trying to come to terms with the turn of events) 26.Ke1 Nxb3 27.Rxb3 Rf2 28.Be4
Bxd2+ 29.Kxd2 Qg5+ 30.Ke1 Qe3 31.Rc2 Qxg3 32.Kd2 Rf1 33.Ne8 Qe1+ 34.Ke3 g3
35.Nxd6 Bg4 0-1
