This is a very nice game from Alina Kashlinskaya - 11 years old when playing and
commenting it. She shows both patience and a solid positional understanding at
this young age.
Notice her comment about Fritz after white's 27th move.

{About me. I'm 11 years old. I'm in the 5th form of the school with advanced
studying of German. In addition to chess, I play the piano (I'm in the 5th
form of a music school), go in for sport dance in an art school, swim in a
swimming-pool, and study French and English. I'm a candidate master in chess,
my rating for 01.01.2005 - 2031. I'm a champion of Russia among children under
10 years old and twice a vice-champion of Europe (in classical and rapid chess)
among under ten. } 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. f3 {
The last move was prepared by me at home. I knew that my opponent liked to
play the Neidorf's variant. } a6 6. c4 e6 7. Nc3 Be7 8. Be3 O-O 9. Be2 Nbd7 $6
{An early move of the knight on the square d7 is considered to be a not very
good continuation, because Black losses possibility to chose another plan of
development. } 10. O-O Qc7 11. Qd2 b6 12. Rfc1 Bb7 13. a4 $5 {This is a rather
infrequent plan in favour of White (a2-a4-a5). Apparently, my opponent wasn't
ready for it. } Rac8 14. a5 bxa5 15. Nb3 Rfd8 16. Nxa5 Ba8 17. Na2 $5 {
The main idea of White's plan is to move the knight on a5 and the pawn - on b4.
In the given position I didn't move 17.b4 immediately, as I didn't like the
response of Black 17...d5. I'll produce the variants, which I calculated
during the game: 18.cd Bb4 19.Nc6 Bc6 20.dc Qc6 21.Ra6; 18.ed Bb4 19.de fe 20.
Nb3. I estimated the positions, received after the both variants, in favour of
Black. } Nb8 18. b4 {Here the Black's move d5 doesn't work, because the
white knight has left the square c3, and the black queen in case of capture cd
will be en prise. } Qd7 19. b5 {
I've decided to create a passed pawn b5. Black can't prevent that.
} axb5 20.
cxb5 d5 21. e5 Ne8 {There is an impression that black pieces are arranged for
the beginning position in "Fischer" chess. I estimated my position as a far
better one.} 22. Bd4 {
The pawn d5 should be blocked, so that it couldn't go on its moving.} f6 {
My opponent wants to bring her pieces into action.
} 23. b6 {
The pawn is irrepressible in its striving to be queened.} fxe5 24. Bxe5 Bc5+
25. Rxc5 {I designed this sacrifice of exchange when making my 23rd move. The
presumption of that was that the bishop was the only active piece of Black. By
liquidating it, even if by the sacrifice of exchange, I managed to fix a
completely passive position of Black's pieces. } Rxc5 26. Nb4 {
White moves up his pieces for a decisive bound forward.
} Rcc8 27. Qd4 {
The program "Fritz" estimates this position as an equal one, but I think that
Black is in almost complete zugzwang. An exploitation of advantage of White is
a matter of technique. } h6 28. Bd3 {
White proceeds with strengthening of his position.} h5 29. h3 {
Preventive measures. One more window for the king.
} Nc6 {Black tries to make
his pieces more active somehow. However by this move my opponent forcedly
gives me a material advantage. } 30. Naxc6 Bxc6 31. Ra7 Bb7 32. Ba6 Nd6 33.
Bxd6 Qxd6 34. Rxb7 {
White has two pieces for a rook and a very strong passed pawn.
} e5 35. Qb2
Kh8 36. Nd3 d4 37. Qb5 Qf6 38. Qxe5 Rc1+ 39. Kh2 Qxe5+ 40. Nxe5 {Everything is
ready for a rush of the white pawn to the promotion square. It's already
impossible to prevent this. } Rd5 41. Rc7 Rc3 42. b7 {
Here Black had to submit to his loss.} 1-0
