Lirazan vs Sol Cruz

Araw ng Kalayaan Cup
MERALCO Chess Camp
MMLDC, Antipolo City
W: Jay-R Lirazan [Bonifacio Integrated School]
B: Rhal Sol Cruz [La Salle]

1.e4 e5 2.g3 Nc6 3.Bg2 d6 4.d3 Nf6 5.Nf3 Be7 6.Nc3 O-O 7.a3 Be6
Faced with an unfamiliar opening system, Rhal remembered GM Bong's advise - simply develop your pieces and castle early.

8.O-O Qd7 9.Bg5 h6 10.Bxf6 Bxf6 11.Re1 Ne7 12.d4 Bg4
Better is exd4 in order to give the dark squared bishop an open diagonal.

13.dxe5 Bxf3 Bxe5 15.Bg2 f5?16.Bh3
Better is exf5, to open the e-file for the rook.

16... Qc6
In all cases, it is well to unpin the piece in question as quickly as possible, not only to give it back its freedom of action, but also to liberate the masked piece.
The Game of Chess

17.Bxf5
Again, better is exf5.

17... Nxf5 18.exf5 Rxf5
We exchange in order to seize or open a file or diagonal without loss of time.
My System

19.Qg4? 
Better is Qd5+, forcing Q-to-Q.













19... Raf8
Connect your rooks; they work best together.

20.Re2 Bxc3 21.bxc3 Qxc3
Rhal has a 1-pawn advantage.

22.Rae1 Qf6
The best is Rxf2!

23.f4 Qd4+ 24.Kg2 Qd5+ 25.Kf1??
Better is Re4.

25... Qh1+ 
First break up the position, then you penetrate with the Queen.

26.Kf2 Qxh2+
Rhal now has a 2-pawn advantage.

27.Ke3 Qh5
Simplification is desirable if we have superiority in material.
My System

28.Qxh5 Rxh5
And Rhal won in the endgame. 

Result: 0-1
