Here is the first game of my match with Gnupatzer, a chess playing program.

Gnupatzer - Kamberi, S.
Telephone Match (1), September 30, 2001

1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 ed 4 c3 Nf6 5 e5 Ne4 6 Qe2 f5 7 ef d5 8 Nbd2 QXf6 9 NXe4 de 10 QXe4+ Be7 !

According to the databases, this is the first time this move has been played.  Previously, Black went 10...Qe6 which Estrin evaluates as slightly better for White.  I had analyzed 10...Be7! with Fritz a few years ago and had been waiting for the chance to play the move.

11 Bg5

Black now equalizes with ease.  The only move to test Black's idea is 11 NXd4!, but I believe that I have unearthed sufficient resources against it (which will, for the time being, remain secret).

11...Qe6 12 QXe6 BXe6 13 BXe7 KXe7 14 cd Rad8 15 Rc1 BXa2 16 Ba6

This tricky move came as no surprise, I had analyzed it with Fritz several years before.

16...NXd4 17 BXb7 Kf6 18 NXd4 RXd4 19 O-O ?

After this error, Black seizes the initiative.  Correct was 19 Rc6+ Rd6 20 RXd6+ cd 21 Kd2 Rb8 22 Ra1 RXb7 23 RXa2 and the pieces can be put back in the box.

19...Bc4 20 Rfd1 RXd1+ 21 RXd1 Rb8 22 Be4 RXb2 23 Rd7 a5 24 RXc7 Bb3 25 BXh7 a4 26 Rc6+ Ke5 27 Rc5+ Kd4 28 Ra5 Ra2 29 h4 a3 30 Kh2 Ra1 31 Rb5 Kc3 32 Rg5 a2 33 RXg7 Rc1

Until this move, I had played excellently to build up a winning position, but now I start to play imprecisely.  More crushing would have been 33...Rf1! 34 Ra7 RXf2.  Still, even with my weaker move the game remains a fairly easy win.

34 Rc7+ Kd2 35 Ra7 a1Q 36 RXa1 RXa1 37 Bf5 Kc3 38 h5 Kd4 39 h6 Ra6 40 h7 Rh6+ 41 Kg3 Ke5 42 Kg4 Kf6

42...Bf7! was quicker, but the end is near for White in any case.

43 Kf4 Bf7 44 g4 Kg7 45 Kg5 Rh2 46 f4 Rb2 47 Be4 Rb5+ 48 Kh4 Rb4 49 Bf5 RXf4 50 Kg5 Rb4 51 Bc2 Be6 52 Kh5 BXg4+ 53 Kg5 Be6 54 Bd3 Ba2 55 Bc2 Bb1 56 Bd1 BXh7

Around here I asked Dr. Mirafzali if he would make me play this out and he said yes!

57 Bg4 Rb5+ 58 Kf4 Kf6 59 Bd7 Rb4+ 60 Kg3 Kg5 61 Be6 Be4 62 Kf2 Kf4 63 Bd7 Rb2+ 64 Kg1 Bd3 65 Bf5 BXf5 66 Kf1 Ke3 67 Kg1 Kf3 68 Kh1 Kg3 69 Kg1 Rb1#

White checkmated.
