Another game (new time limit)

I have entered a tournament in January with a G/45 time limit. In order for my wife and me (she might play too) to get some training in before the tournament, we decided to change the time limit of the games we've been playing from G/10 (3 sec delay) to G/45 (5 sec delay). Perhaps this will result in increased quality in our games, although I wouldn't necessarily bet on this. Hopefully, it will at least reduce the number of blunders.

RMD - ALD, 12/28/2004 [B31]

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 d6 4. Bb5 Bd7 5. O-O Nf6 6. d3 [This was played in Matulovic-Velimirovic, 1973; more common are 6. d4 and 6. Re1.] g6 7. Bf4 Bg7 8. Bxc6 Bxc6 [=] 9. h3 [I don't really see the point of this move.] Qd7 10. Bg3 [10. Re1] O-O 11. Qe2 b5! 12. d4!? [12. Qe3] b4 13. e5 [13. d5] dxe5 [13. ... Nh5] 14. dxe5 [14. Nxe5] Nh5 15. Ne4 Nxg3 16. fxg3 Bxe4 [16. ... Qd5! with some advantage.] 17. Qxe4 e6 18. Rad1 Qc7 19. Rd6 Rac8 [19. ... Qa5] 20. b3 [20. Rfd1] Rfd8 21. Rfd1 Bf8 22. R6d3 Rxd3 23. cxd3 [This leaves the pawn backward as a target on the semi-open file. Better is 23. Qxd3.] Rd8 24. Rf1 [24. Rd2] Be7 [24. ... Rd5] 25. g4 a5 26. h4 [26. Nd2] Bf8 [26. ... Qa7 - RMD] 27. Ng5 Rd7 28. Rf4!? Rd4 [28. ... Bh6!] 29. Qe3 Rxf4 30. Qxf4 Bg7 31. Nf3 Qc6 32. Kh2 [32. h5 - RMD] Qd5 33. Qe3 Kf8 [Too timid. I gave serious consideration to 33. ... a4!? 34. bxa4 Qxa2 but ruled it out as too risky. But as it turns out after 35. Qxc5 Qxa4 36. Kg3 b3 the advantage lies with Black.] 34. Kh3 h6 35. g5 [Over the board I considered this move inferior, but post-mortem analysis reveals it to be correct.] h5 36. g4 hxg4+ 37. Kxg4 Qc6 [The elapsed times at this point were White 0:30 Black 0:35.] 38. h5 gxh5+ 39. Kxh5 Qc7 40. Qe4 Kg8 41. g6 fxg6+ 42. Qxg6 Qf7 [Best was 42. ... Qc6 43. Kg4 Kf8 =; now White has an edge.] 43. Ng5 Qxg6+ 44. Kxg6 Bxe5 45. Nxe6 Bd6 46. Nd8 [46. Kf6] Bc7 [46. ... Kf8] 47. Nc6 [47. Nb7] Kf8 48. Kf6 Ke8 49. Ke6 Bb6 [49. ... Kf8 50. Kd7 Bf4 51. Nxa5 Kf7 52. Nb7 Be3 53. Kc6 Ke7 54. Nxc5 Bd2 is likewise insufficient to hold the draw.] 50. Kd5? [This allows the Black King in. 50. Kd6 Kf7 51. Ne5+ Ke8 52. Nc4 Bd8 53. Kxc5 gave White the best winning chance.] Kd7 51. Ne5+ Kc7 52. Kc4 [52. Nc4!] Kd6 53. Nf7+ [The last chance was 53. Kb5 but after 53. ... Bc7 54. Nc4+ Kd5 55. Nxa5 Bh2 56. Nc4 Bg1 57. Nb6+ Kd4 58. Nd7 Kd5, White has won a pawn but the position is drawn with best play.] Kc6 [I offered a draw here, but my wife wanted to play on. The rest of the game doesn't really warrant any comment.] 54. Ne5+ Kd6 55. Nf3 Kc6 56. Ng5 Bd8 57. Nf7 Be7 58. d4 cxd4 59. Kxd4 Bc5+ 60. Kc4 Be7 61. Ne5+ Kb6 62. Nd7+ Kc6 63. Nb8+ Kb6 64. Nd7+ Kc6 65. Ne5+ Kb6 66. Ng6 [Avoiding the three-fold repetition although at this point nothing can prevent the draw.] Bd6 67. Kd5 Bh2 68. Ne7 Kb5 69. Nc8 a4 70. Nd6+ Ka5 71. Nc4+ Kb5 72. bxa4+ Kxa4 73. Kc5 Bg1+ 74. Kc6 Bd4 75. Kd5 Bg7 [Here my wife offered a draw, which I accepted. The elapsed times were White 0:39 Black 0:41.]
