{(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

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 {

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

over anyway.} 36. Bb5 Re7 37. Bc3 Rf8 38. g3 Ra8 39. e6 Nb6 40. Bc6 Rf8 {(W 1:
