{(40/90, G/60) Before the game, I saw Bologan's book on the KID on a table
where Zach was sitting.} 1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 O-O 6. Bg5 c5 7. d5 e6 8. Qd2 exd5 9. cxd5
h6 {When Zach played this I knew he had "prepared" it all ahead of time. I
wondered whether I should be worried, but realized that I have a tremendous
amount of experience in these positions and Zach was probably playing this for
the first time (I've always seen him play the standard ...e5 KID plans before).
} 10. Be3 h5 {I later discovered that this is Bologan's recommendation, though it seemed a bit
premature to me.} 11. Nge2 Nh7 {(W 1:16, B 1:28) Again this is Bologan's
recommendation, but it seemed odd to me instead of developing the Queen's
Knight now that my Knight can't go to h3.} 12. Nf4 {More or less forced, and I
thought during the game that White has a pleasant position since I'm holding
up ...f7-f5 and the Knight looks funny on h7. After the game, Zach said that
the "book" said the 11...Nh7 was best because it "maims" the Knight to the f4
square! This was the phrase Bologan used, so he obviously checked this line
before the game. Still, Gallagher seems to think the Knight on f4 is on a decent
square and I do too. It's certainly no worse than the Knight on h7, and the
pawn on h5 looks like a potential weakness.} Nd7 13. Be2 Ne5 14. O-O Bd7 15.
Rac1 $1 {Even though I haven't studied this line for years, I realized that
the best idea was Yusupov's plan. I guess this whole idea is ignored by
Bologan--luckily for me, as Zach was still playing at lightning speed.} a6 {(W
1:04, B 1:28) Frankly I wasn't too concerned about the clock times; around
here I really had the feeling that Zach was entering a position he has little
experience with and I thought I had a slight edge.} 16. b3 b5 17. Nd3 b4 18.
Nd1 Nxd3 19. Bxd3 a5 {Though here I didn't think Black had much to complain
about; White has a very slight edge I guess.} 20. Nb2 f5 $2 {(W 1:02, B 1:16)
But now this is a mistake. It was the whole idea of playing ...Nh7,
but it is mistimed with the pressure coming to d6. Plus, I'm not sure it's
such a great idea anyway, as it seriously weakens the Black K-side.} (20... a4

happy that Zach had followed Bologan's advice uncritically.} f4 $2 {I didn't
understand the idea at first, but then figured it out. I couldn't believe my
luck!} ({After the game Zach suggested that he should have played} 21... Bc3 {
first, but still I'll just take it:} 22. Rxc3 bxc3 23. Qxc3 fxe4 24. Bxe4 $16 {
and White has a very good position.}) 22. Bxf4 $1 Bc3 {I had realized that
this was Zach's idea when playing 21...f4, and was happy to see it actually
happen. I can't believe any KID player would give up his DSB like this! Here
I knew I was winning and just had to avoid screwing things up and keep
concentrating.} ({Actually I wondered if Zach were planning} 22... Rxf4 23.
Qxf4 {, but thought White was close to winning.}) 23. Rxc3 $1 bxc3 24. Qc1 Bb5
25. Be3 {Trusting in my long-term compensation and consistent with the idea of
"not screwing anything up" now that I'm winning.} (25. e5 $1 {wins quickly,
however.}) 25... Bxc4 {(W 41, B 1:05)} 26. Bxc4 Qf6 27. a4 $1 {Preventing
Black's counterplay associated with ...a5-a4. This must be a critical moment
for Black; White is going to round up the c-pawn and Black needs some play
immediately. He doesn't sense how critical his position is, however. I think
Zach is eternally optimistic.} Qe5 28. Bf2 g5 ({During the game I thought that
