1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. h3 {I am no great opening
expert, so once in a while I like throwing in a variation that is in 'vogue'
and trying to figure out what the current players are thinking.  By no means
do I claim that I have any idea of why h3 was played, I simply knew it had
been tried a few times before that year.  The rest I would figure out over the
board!} Qe8 {A rather rare move, but I wasn't aware of this fact at the time
the game was played.  Of course I knew some of the typical plans for Black,
and I figured the point of Qe8 was to avoid potential trades on e5 and pins on
the h4-e5 diagonal.} 7. Be3 Na6 {White has many options on how to continue
here.  Of course, I was aware that my opponent was planning to play e5 on the
next move, so I had a few choices on how to proceed.  Firstly, I noticed that
after e5 I would have three big ideas: keep the tension, push d5 or trade on
e5.  Since the first was less than appealing, it boiled down to preparing the
e5 push or setting myself up for some kind of edge after trading on e5.  I
chose the latter, but Karpov in one blitz game against Polgar chose the former.
} 8. Rc1 $5 {I love thinking in move 8.  As weird as it sounds, I feel I'm
rather strong when I'm forced to develop my pieces without mechanically
shuffling wood according to how some book told me to do it.  Maybe I should
switch to chess 960...} (8. a3 $5 e5 9. d5 Nc5 10. Nd2 {and we see the point
of a3 - now a5 does not prevent b4.  Very clever by the ex world champion! 
However my idea is not bad at all either.}) 8... e5 9. dxe5 dxe5 10. c5 {This
was if you will the point of Rc1.  White is planning to trade off on a6, which
means that Black is forced to play b6.  The bishop will go directly from f1 to
c4 and be on it's most useful square after that, instead of hanging around
miserably on e2.} b6 11. Bc4 {pretty standard, Whit doesn't care about being
down a pawn because his structure is much superior.} Nxc5 {Black had no better
move.} 12. Bxc5 bxc5 13. O-O Rb8 14. Qd2 Kh8 15. b3 {With the better structure,
I only have to do two things.  The first is restrict Black's activity -
specifically I can't let the game open up too much because of Black's pair of
bishops.  The second is gobble up the black pawns and queen one of my own.} Nh5
$5 {In typical Shabalov fashion, he tries to strike as soon as possible.  I
don't need to react to this just yet.} (15... Bb7 16. Qe3 Qe7 17. Rfd1 h6 {Was
more stable and steady, but White's iniative is building while Black is
playing random moves.  It seems that Shabalov's play is looser but at least
poses troubles.  More than one of my opponents has suffocated to death, being
zugzwanged in the middle game.}) 16. Qe3 f5 17. Qxc5 Nf4 {Black gave back the
c5 pawn with little fight, but his pieces look to be quite threatening.} 18.
Rcd1 {I played this rook to avoid the following variaton} (18. Rfd1 fxe4 19.
Ng5 Nd3 20. Bxd3 exd3 21. Rxd3 Bf5 {And I thought Black had more activity than
he deserved, even if White is still better.}) 18... Bb7 (18... fxe4 19. Ng5 $16
) (18... Ne6 19. Qxa7 $16) 19. Qxc7 {White is not only doing quite well in his
"step 2" (gobble and queen) but the activity of Black's pieces has been kept
to a minimum.  At no point is taking on e4 beneficial to Black.} Ne6 20. Bxe6
Qxe6 21. Rd6 Qc8 22. Qxc8 (22. Qe7 {is a terrifyingly computer computer move. 
I didn't half consider this during the game, to be honest.}) 22... Rfxc8 23.
Nd5 Rd8 $1 {Shaba always fights back as well he can.  With the active rook
gone, he still hopes to open up his bishops to create trouble for White.} 24.
Rxd8+ Rxd8 25. Ne3 $1 {I must say, I'm extremely proud of this move.  Although
it seems mundane and that it gives Black a ton of choices, the move creates an
unbelievable amount of problems for my opponent, as there is no easy solution
out of the resulting endgames.} Rf8 {protecting the pawn, but now the knights
swarm.} (25... fxe4 26. Ng5 Rd7 27. Rc1 $16 {White's knights dominate the
bishops and the majority on the queenside will eventually win easily.}) (25...
f4 26. Nd5 $1 Bxd5 (26... h6 27. Rc1 Kg8 28. Rc5 $16) 27. Rd1 $1 {And White
emerges up a pawn in a winning endgame.}) (25... Kg8 26. exf5 Bxf3 27. gxf3
gxf5 28. Nxf5 {Gives Black plenty of hope, but White is still up a pawn.  Also
he isn't forced to immediately take on f5.}) (25... Bxe4 26. Ng5 Bd5 27. Rd1
Bf6 $8 28. Rxd5 Rxd5 (28... Bxg5 29. Rxe5 {was probably the best line for
Black.}) 29. Nxd5 Bxg5 30. Nb4 e4 31. Nc6 a6 {seems like a near hopeless
endgame as White can simply roll his queenside forward.  Maybe it isn't so
clear, but would a human really go into this?}) 26. Ng5 Bc8 27. Rc1 Kg8 (27...
h6 28. Nf7+ $1 $16) 28. Nd5 Bb7 29. Ne7+ Kh8 30. Rc7 Bxe4 31. Rc8 {I had
already calculated the end, so I played this pretty move.  More normal moves
like Rxa7 also win without complications.} Bh6 {The only move that doesn't get
mated instantly.} (31... Rxc8 32. Nf7# {would've been fun to play}) 32. Nxe4
fxe4 33. Rxf8+ Bxf8 34. Nc6 Bc5 35. b4 $1 {It takes the computers a while to
realize that White doesn't have to take on e5 by any means and can simply
advance the pawns.  Once they are sufficiently far advanced, the sacrifice on
a7 decides the game.} Bb6 36. a4 e3 37. fxe3 Bxe3+ 38. Kf1 Kg7 39. Ke2 Bg1 40.

46. Ke4 {is a very obviously won pawn endgame.  I chose this game because this
is the kind of game I like to win.  Some precise moves here and there, no hard
calculations, lots of restricting your opponent, a winning endgame and the
point is collected.}) 42... Bxa7 43. b6 Bxb6 44. axb6 Kd7 45. Ke3 Kc6 46. Ke4
