Played 16, +12 =2 -2. } { Having misplayed the opening as usual, I had been
under pressure all game, but had managed to keep my K active and safe. The
game started getting complicated as we were well into the middle game and
we reached this position where W has just played Kc3. My original plan was
to find a way to play Kg5 and go after the weak h-pawn, but Ne5 would make
defence of the f-pawn hard and potentially give W a passed pawn, so I
played Ng7. }

1... Ng7 { There are a couple of amusing lines here, so Gavin played the
correct&#8230; } 2. Nxh6 (2. Nxg7 Bxg7 3. Nxf4 $2 Kg5+ $1) (2. Nxf4 Nxf5 3.
exf5 Kg5 { Marginally better than Kxf5 where Nh3 fixes everything for W)
and B is fine, with an active K and B v N. }) 2... Nxh5 3. Ng4+ Kg5 { Going
for activity } 4. Kd4 Kh4 { Some tricky choices here of how to organise the
B pieces } 5. Ke5 Kg3 6. Kf5 Be7 { Here, Gavin went to play Nde5 before his
radar kicked in and spotted the helpmate. Shame! } 7. e5 Ng7+ 8. Ke4 Ne6 {
And a draw was agreed a few moves later. } 1/2-1/2
