{E00: Catalan Bogo-Indian}

1. d4 e6 2. c4 Nf6 3. g3 Bb4+ 4. Bd2 Qe7 5. Bg2 O-O 6. Nc3 d6 7. a3 
{A serious loss of time. 
White is probably going to get the bishop pair in any case, so there is no need to 
waste time and force it. A pawn to rook 3 is always a difficult move to play without 
causing some weakness, but playing it when development is best, can not be recommended.
Strangely enough, the light-squares now in the white queen-side could be left weakened. 
Black can exploit these with similar ideas used in the King's Indian defence.}

7... Bxc3 8. Bxc3 e5 
{Classical Bogo-Indian ideas now have to be played. Black wishes to put all of his pawns 
on dark squares and limit the scope of the white bishop pair. It is essential to smother 
the bishops as much as possible and head for that all important good knight verses bad 
bishop ending. Naturally, if Black has the chance to snaffle the dark-squared bishop, 
that would be great and then the black pawns would certainly belong on dark squares. The 
whole point is to make as much room for the bishop on c8 and fewer targets for the one on g2.
All of this is simple positional, long-term chess and naturally, the rest of the tactical 
battle has to come first. However, the basics of the positional game are now clearly set out.}

9. d5?! 
{Playing meekly into black's whole game plan. Yes, this gains space, but only helps black 
in blocking in the bishop pair, which must be opened up. Files and diagonals must be opened 
for them to flourish. White must be intending to expand on the queen-side and blockade the 
center and hopefully lash out with a well-timed f2-f4. White is however too far behind in 
development to contemplate such luxuries. Another great set-back to white's plan is that he's 
conducting the whole opening in the fashion of a King's Indian defence.  But if you compare the 
two setups, in the game position, Black hasn't got a rubbish dark-squared bishop on g7, which 
doesn't contribute much to the current position. In the game position, Black has more freedom 
and can initiate play immediately before White has managed to get himself castled.
Saying all of this and with the idea of opening up the position, the only realistic move here 
is 9. dxe5. See below for opening references.

9... Nbd7 
{9... a5 was the other major idea, with the idea of a5-a4 to secure the c5 square. 10. b3 sorts 
that out, but I wanted to hold off for a moment and see how White intended to set his king-side up.
So, I develop first to put the question to White.} 

10. e4 
{As predicted, white is simply following King Indian’s setups. he hasn't appreciated though 
that the bishop on g7 has gone and that the bishop on g2 doesn't help him all that much. Also, 
of crucial importance is that he's behind in development. 10. e3 made much more sense, leaving 
the e4 square available for a piece, ensuring that the e-file doesn't become opened up quickly 
to expose the white king and securing up some dark-squares}
 
10... Nb6 11. b3 a5 12. Qd3 

{Positionally, the strain is starting to tell on White. The light squares around the White queen-side 
are under pressure. Black threatens to push onto a4 and either weaken c4 or secure himself of the c5 
and b4 squares if White foolishly plays a3-a4. However, as it is, the white queen is used to defend 
some light-squares. d3 is an exposed square though and runs into immediate problems. 12. Qe2 Nfd7 was 
my original try with an early f7-f5. I presume that White didn't want to take the e2 square away from 
the white knight. as with 11. Qe2, the white knight doesn't have many squares to go to. On f3, Black 
can lash out with f7-f5 and if e4xf5, e5-e4 could be problematic.} 

12... Nfd7 13. b4 
{White desperately tries to prevent the black knights finding excellent outposts. the c5 square 
can not be allowed to be occupied. The b4 thrust though just delays development that much longer 
though.}

13... axb4 
{Hastily played. 13.. Na4! snatches the dark-squared bishop and ensures Black of a long-term 
positional advantage. The idea is after 14. Bd2? to preserve the bishop, 14... axb4 15 axb4 Nb2! 
wins the c4 pawn and effectively the game.}

14. axb4 Rxa1+ 15. Bxa1 f5 
{Black must play energetically to attempt to catch the white king in the center.}

16. exf5 Nf6 
{Annoyingly, my original plan of 16... e4 doesn’t work.
17. Qxe4 can indeed grab a 2nd pawn and cling onto it. The pin down the e-file doesn't quite work 
and Black can certainly win the c4 pawn, but white can cling onto the f5 one. The most frustrating 
thing is that at any stage, Nf6 or Ne5 ideas can be snuffed out with Bxf6 or Bxe5 neutralizing Black's 
advantage and maintaining the extra material. So, OK, positional mode over, attacking mode kicks in!}

17. Ne2 e4 18. Qd4 Bxf5 19. O-O Qf7 
{Playable was 19... Ng4 20. Rc1 but White has play down the c-file.
My idea now is to get the Queen off the e-file and any potential pins. The Queen can defend the 
e4 pawn on g6 if needed. Also, the d5 pawn is pressured holding up c4-c5 for the mean time.
Additionally, it is important to bring all of the black pieces to the king-side, in preparation 
for the attack, before launching it.}

20. Nf4 
{The computer suggests 20. h3 to pre-empt any king-side attack, but personally, I thought the 
knight belonged on c3 with the idea of pressuring e4. Black can defend this, or ignore it and 
go hacking, which is my intent in any case!}

20... Nbd7 
{Now the positional play on the queen-side has been abandoned, the knight is required to come 
across and join in the attack. This affectively means all of the black pieces are contributing 
to the attack. White should now start getting alarmed as the positional play on the queen-side 
has little importance now with a king-side attack looming.}

21. h4? 
{This move attempts to discourage Black from his king-side ambitions. However, all it does is to 
encourage it and allow more lines to be opened up. Unless this move actually prevents the white 
knight from being dislodged from f4, there is no use for it at all. Therefore, the pawn should 
remain at home and the dark-squared bishop on a1 rushed back to aid in the defence.}

21... h6 
{The positional approach is 21... Ra8 but I had the mind-set of hacking now...} 

22. Re1 Ne5 

{White's position and now the Queen's knight joins in the attack. The pressure on the White king-side is 
certainly building now!}

23. c5 
{It is difficult to condemn white for pressing on with his positional plan of destroying the 
Black queen-side, but to ignore an attack is fatal. OK, White hopes to be able to beat off the 
attack and leave himself with a position advantage on the queen-side, but he should wait until 
all of his pieces are aiding in the defence, especially the bishop on a1, which is actually doing 
very little at the moment.} 

23... Re8 
{A very difficult decision to make.
I couldn't decide whether the tactical possibilities down the E file were more important or the 
potential pressure on the f2 square. In the end, I came to the conclusion that the knight on f4 
has little scope. If it doesn't give itself up on e6 then the idea of Nfg4 or Nf3+ will allow either 
a timely e4-e3 thrust or an exf3 pinning theme down the file if the knight drops to e2. 
With that in mind, I want to recapture on e6 with the rook to allow the defence of the d6 square 
and also allow Rh6 and mating ideas down the h file.} 

24. Bc3 g5!? 25. hxg5 hxg5 26. Ne6 
{What else. the retreat to e2 looks miserable, leaving d5 horribly weak. Indeed, the capture on d5 
with the knight on f6 is highly likely. Another major disadvantage of having pushed c4-c5 without 
having prepared his pieces for the attack.}

26... Bxe6 27. dxe6 Rxe6 28. cxd6 cxd6 29. Qe3 
{More messy was 29. Qd2 Qg6 30. Bxe5 dxe5 [30... Rxe5 31. Qxd6 Re8 32. Rc1]} 

29... Qh5 30. Bd2 
{White is intent on regaining his material. However, he should rid himself of that annoyingly 
well-posted knight on e5. 30. Bxe5 Rxe5 (30...dxe5 31. Bxe4 Ng4 32. Qc5) 31. Qb6 Re6 32. Qxb7 Qf7}

30... Nd3 
{Another clever twist to the tale. Black now intends to grab a few pawns and head for the won 
ending! They say often that the result of a good attack is not often mate but a better ending. 
Hmm, looks like I might just get this!
I have to say though at this point, I was doubting my attacking capabilities. I thought I had 
let the attack go a bit. I was confident I still had the initiative and the better chances, 
plus a pawn, but the switch may not be best. 30... g4 was my original idea, but I didn't want 
to blockade the g4 square as I thought I needed that square for a knight to go king-hunting.
As it is, the f2 and b4 pawns are now pressured.}

31. Ra1 
{Trying to get counter-play.31. Bxe4 Nxe1 (31... Rxe4 32. Qxd3 Rxe1+ 33. Bxe1 doesn't help)
32. Bd5 Nf3+ (32... Nxd5 33. Qxe6+ Kh7 34.Bxe1
[34. Qxd5 if White takes the knight he will lose by Nf3+ 35. Kg2 Qh2+ 36. Kxf3 Qh1+ 37. Ke2 Qxd5]
33. Qxf3 Qxf3 34. Bxf3 Ne4 winning. Back to the game.)}

31... Ng4 32. Qxg5+ 
{Annoyingly, I forgot after the check on a8, the white Queen could rush into the attack. 
32. Ra8+ Kf7 33. Qb6 and white is getting counter-play (33. Qxg5 Qxg5 34. Bxg5 Ngxf2 is similar 
to the game.)}

32... Qxg5 33. Bxg5 Ngxf2 34. Be3 Ng4 35. Bh3 Rg6 36. Bxg4 
{White desperately swaps off attempting to reach a drawn end-game. salvation is his sole mission now. 
But maybe keeping the bishop pair, however smothered they are, was best.}

36... Rxg4 37. Kg2 Nxb4 
{I wanted that pawn off as I didn't want it becoming a nuisance on b5 and then b6. 37... Rg7 38. b5 
should still be winning though.}

38. Rb1 
{Better was 38. Kh3 Rg6 39. Ra4 when black's job of converting is much more difficult.}

38... Nd5 39. Bd4 e3?!

annoying tactic now.

43... Rg7 allows the white king to simple march into d5 and then e6 and I can't hold the pawn 
and my king is simply too far away. This should not be winnable now.}

{Accompanied with a draw offer!!
OK, a little story here and the principal reason why I turned down the draw offer here. 
This makes sense though and you may wish to keep this in mind.
In Brno in the IBCA world Individual Champs in 1998, I was kicking IM Kai Bjering from Denmark 
with the black pieces and was a clear pawn up. We got to an ending with me a pawn up and he 
having to demonstrate that he could draw it. With me believing that he knew how to draw such endings, 
I offered the draw. At which point, GM Neil McDonald correctly and validly berated me afterwards 
for not having played on. He told me that when your opponent is down material and although it is a 
theoretical draw, you should always play and make them demonstrate convincingly that they know 
how to do it. as long as you have no risk of losing, play it out.
The 2nd part of the story was 4 years later, again in the world Individuals, where I reached a R & P 
verses a R ending where I was the pawn down. I was playing another IM, this time from Cuba. 
But more than fluke than anything, I was playing on not sure on how to draw the ending. 
Honestly speaking, I didn't know and would have probably lost it if the Cuban had played on. But he, 
believing that I had sufficient enough knowledge to play it out, with him short on time, offered me 
the draw, which naturally, I took. IM Chris Beaumont asked me afterwards to whether I knew the the 
drawing method, at which point he showed me how to do it and laughed himself silly thinking that my 
opponent had thrown away a valuable half-point because he hadn't pressed on and made his opponent 
demonstrate the drawing method.So, keep in mind, when you are in a theoretical drawn position, play 
it out and  ensure that your opponent can successfully demonstrate it!
Back to the game.}

47... Kc6 48. Rh6? 
{At which point, I started to ask myself if my opponent actually knew the drawing method and was 
suddenly delighted to have played on. Question is now folks, how do you draw a r & P VS R ending???
Think about it, answer coming up below.}

48... Kc5 49. Rh5+ d5 50. Rh8?? 
{White's losing move!!
White has now demonstrated that he doesn't understand the drawing method. Brilliant!
OK, figured out how to draw this?
Right, answer coming up.
Answer:
It is the 3rd rank defence.
50. Rh3! in the game holds the draw. The sole rook must stay on the 3rd rank until the passed pawn 
has reached the 6th rank and only then, only then, must the rook go behind the opposing king and 
check from behind, since the pawn on the 6th rank does not provide the king any shelter.
The white king does not mind been driven back to the 1st rank and as long as he stays on c1/d1/e1, he 
is absolutely fine.
OK, lets imagine a few moves have been thrown in. Say the white rooks steps from h3 and g3 and 
maintains its hold of the 3rd rank.
Set this position up:
White king on d1 and rook on h3.
black rook on a2, king on c4 and the pawn on d4.
How does black proceed?
If 1... d3 2. rh8! and the white rook perpetual checks the black king since if the king wanders 
backwards to the 6th rank, white will play Rd8 and guard the passed pawn.
In the given position, if black has a rook on the b2 square to try and get Rb3 in, white should 
hit it with 2. Kc1 Rb3 3. Rh8 d3 4. Rh4+ Kd5 5. Kd2 drawing easily.
OK, I hope that is a clear enough of the method which you are meant to use to save such endings! 
Hope you manage to use it one day in your own games! Here's the finish to my game. the conversion 
is simple now. White can respectfully resign a lot earlier than he did.}
