White: Rick Wagner Black: Homeostatic Chess Player running on an Intel Core i7 Dell Inspiron laptop. Game played over February 15-16, 2015, with minimal recursion depth set to six tempi. White Black 1. e4 Nc6 Nimzovitch Defense. 2. Nf3 e6 Transpose to French Defense. 3. d4 Nf6 4. Nb1d2 d5 5. e5 Ng4 The push past variation is not usually best, but in this case black's equalizing c5 is precluded. Figure 1. 6. h3 Nh6 7. c3 f6 No need to attack with c4. Black weakens his king side pawn structure. 8. exf6 gxf6 A recapture by the queen would have been better. Figure 2. 9. Nh4 Ke7 The king move was unexpected but seems to do the job countering the immediate threat. 10. Bd3 b6 White quietly builds an attack. 11. Nd2f3 Nf7 12. O-O Bg7 13. Re1 Kf8 Black has a backward pawn on a half open file. Figure 3. 14. Bf4 Bh6 Black sees the danger in the white dark squared bishop. 15. Bg3 f5 White prefers to keep his bishop, thank you very much. It will play a role in a mating net later. Figure 4. 16. Qc2 f4 Getting ready to blast it open but black has other ideas. 17. Bh2 Kg7 Black's position seems to be holding. 18. Re2 Qd6 19. Ra1e1 Rb8 Doubling up on the half open file while black seems to wander. 20. Kh1 Bd7 21. Re3 b5 White makes an error. The rook will have to move back to e2. 22. Re3e2 b4 Figure 5. 23. g3 bxc3 24. bxc3 Ng5 25. Nxg5 Bxg5 26. Ng2 f3 Ng2 is a mistake by white, but he treats it as a sacrifice in his attack. Figure 6. 27. Nf4 fxe2 28. Nh5+ Kh6 29. g4 Qa3 30. Bxe2 Rb2 White's threat is f4 with mate to follow. Figure 7. 31. Qd3 Rd2 32. Qg3 Rxa2 Black takes the pawn, probably not his best. 33. f4 Be7 34. Qd3 Rxe2 35. Rxe2 Qc1+ Black gives up the exchange to prevent mate. Figure 8. 36. Kg2 Qa1 37. Qe3 Rb8 Black's Rg8 is necessary now. 38. f5+ Bg5 39. Bf4 Rg8 Black can't take the bishop nor let his bishop be taken. 40. Bxg5+ Rxg5 The mating net closes. 41. h4 Black resigns Figure 9.
