Sussex Championship, 12 xi 2012
Played at the Brighton CC in the first round of the KO competition with six entrants.
B Cafferty - Neil Tasker English Opening
1 Nf3 c5 2 c4 Nc6 3 Nc3 g6 4 e3 Nf6 5 d4 cxd4 6 exd4 d5 7 cxd5 Nxd5 8 Qb3
This produces a position of the type that could arise in the Caro-Kann, Panov-Botvinnik Attack, but in that case Black would have made the more useful move ...Bg4, rather than ...g6.
8...Nxc3 9 Bc4! e6 10 bxc3 Be7
(or 10...Bg7 11 Ba3 Bf8 as played by Petrosyan in his 1963 world title match with Botvinnik)
11 Bh6 Na5 12 Bb5+ Bd7 13 Qa4 Nc6 14 d5!
Botvinnik's idea, mentioned in his notes to the above match game.
14...exd5 15 0-0 a6? 16 Bxc6 Bxc6 17 Qd4 Bf6?
An active move that loses at once, whereas defence in depth by 17...f6 18 Rfe1 Kf7 was called for though White has a big plus after 19 Ng5+! Kg8 20 Ne6.
18 Rfe1+ Kd7 19 Qg4+ Kd6
(19...Kc7 20 Bf4+ Kb6 21 Rab1+ Ka7 22 Be3+ Kb8 23 Qf4+ Kc8 24 Bb6 exploiting the hole created at move 15, when White wins the Bf6)
20 Bf4+ Kc5 21 Bc7! Qxc7 22 Qb4# (BC 14 xi)
From Bernard Cafferty "a neat win I scored in the first round of the Sussex Individual Championship last Saturday."
