Dizon Memorial Cup
W: Joey ANDADOR
B: Junior SOL CRUZ
USLS, Bacolod City
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 d6
Junior's favorite line against the Ruy Lopez is the solid Steinitz Defense, which was popularized by the very first World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz of Austria.
4 O-O Nf6 5 Re1 Bd7 6 c3 g6 7 d4 Bg7 8 Bg5 O-O
9 Bxc6 Bxc6 10 Nd2 Qe8
The equalizer is 10... exd4 11 cxd4 h6 12 Bxf6 Bxf6 13 Qc2, according to Rybka.
11 Qb3 Qe7?
The best is 11... exd4; My System's center pawn should always be taken.
12 d5 Bd7 13 Qxb7 Rab8 14 Qxc7 Rxb2 15 Qxa7 Rfb8?
16 h3 R2b7 17 Qe3 Rb2 18 c4 Ra8 19 Reb1 Rbxa2 20 Rxa2 Rxa2 21 Rb8+ Be8 22 Kh2 Ra7??
Better is 22... Qc7.
23 Qb6 Qc7 24 Qxc7 Rxc7 25 Bxf6 Bxf6 26 Rxe8+ Kg7 27 Rb8 h6 28 Rb6 Be7 29 Ne1 Rd7 30 Nd3 Bd8 31 Rc6 Ba5 32 Nb3 Bc7 33 c5 g5 34 cxd6 Bxd6 35 Nc5 Bxc5 36 Rxc5 h5 37 f3 Rb7 38 Nxe5 h4 39 d6 g4 40 hxg4 f6 41 Nc6 Rb6 42 d7 Rxc6 43 Rxc6 Kh7 44 d8=Q f5 45 Qd7+ Kh8 46 Rc8# [1-0]
Junior was definitely outplayed and was perhaps affected by the pre-game issue where he was mistakenly placed in a lower board. But had he won, and the Board 1 draw their game, he would have tied for 1st place.
