{Game in 5 minutes}
1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 c5 5. cxd5 Nxd5 6. e3 Nc6
7. Bd3 Be7 8. O-O O-O
{ "...well, until now at least this thing knows something of openings"
said Pablo. }
9. Re1 cxd4 10. exd4 Ncb4 11. Bb1 Bd7 12. Ne5 Rc8 13. Bd2 Qc7
{ At this stage Pablo was very confident.
"Not a very imaginative playing" he commented.
"And yours ?" I asked.
"Oh" he answered, "I am just just toying with him..." }
14. a3 Nxc3 15. bxc3 Nd5 16. c4 Nf6 17. Bf4 b6 {?}
{ An horrible move, but there it was in the screen. In the screen,
also, appeared the following data: Tiger was looking only 3 plys deep.
He was also taking only some seconds to decide a move.
I thought, for a moment, to declare the game already lost and give
the full point to Pablo, but I resisted. I had some hopes.
Pablo just laughed. He asked another ration of you know what.
I served also one for myself. }
18. Ng6
{ Of course. }
Qd8 19. Nxf8 Kxf8 20. Bd3 Bc6 21. Be5 Bd6 22. Qe2 h6 23. Red1 Bb7
24. a4 Bc6 25. a5 bxa5 26. Qa2
{ "Why that?" I asked Pablo. He said nothing.
I guess, now, that he was so confident that indulged himself
playing rococo moves instead of making sure his advantage. }
a4 27. Bc2 Ng4 28. h3 Nxe5 29. dxe5 Qg5 30. g3 Bxe5 31. Qa3+ Kg8
32. Rab1 a5 33. Re1 Bd4 34. Be4 Bxe4 35. Rxe4 Qf5
{ At this moment Pablo was not smiling anymore.
He was already in trouble. Some threats glooming in the horizon.
Those bishops... And What's more: he has already lost on time.
He had got the edge, but at a cost: consumming lot more time than
Tiger. But Tiger - still with two full minutes to finish the game -
was generous and gave him an extra time. }
36. Qd3 Bxf2+ 37. Kg2 Bc5 38. Rf1 Qg6 39. Qf3 a3 40. h4 Rc7
41. Rg4 Qc2+ 42. Kh3 Qb2 43. Qa8+
{ Ok, said Pablo, after declaring that move,
lets try the last shot... }
Bf8 44. Rd1 h5 45. Rg5 Qf2
{ "Oh well, he is comning for the draw, the little bastard" }
46. Rd8 Qf1+ 47. Kh2 Qe2+ 48. Kh3 Qf1+ 49. Kh2 Qf2+ 50. Kh3 Qf1+
1/2-1/2
{ Last comment: "Hmmm, he deserved the draw. He defended well.
You just cannot be confident with these toys. }
