tseltzer(1957) vs. caseylj(1834) 1/2-1/2

1.e4 (0:00) c6 (0:00) 2.d4 (0:02) d5 (0:03) 3.exd5 (0:01) cxd5 (0:07) 4.c4 (0:00)
Caseylj(1834) whispers: I really hate this opening 4...Nf6 (2:56) 5.Nc3 (0:04) Nc6 (0:17) 6.Nf3 (0:23) g6 (0:08)
Alieth(2043) whispers: thats why we play it 7.cxd5 (0:34) Nxd5 (0:54) 8.Qb3 (0:55) Nxc3 (0:36) 9.Bc4 (2:47)
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: Go Caseylj! 9...Nd5 (0:38) 10.Bxd5 (0:10) e6 (0:03)
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: Hmm that retreat just invites worse pawn structure 11.Bxc6+ (0:30)
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: Maybe he wants to develop the LSB that way. I don't play this opening. 11...bxc6 (0:17) 12.O-O (0:11) Qd5 (1:28)
Caseylj(1834) whispers: so where does he move the Queen? 13.Qc2 (2:51)
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: Position looks fine for both. If black can hold the two bishops on an open board and maybe trade white's center for the iso backwards c pawn, should be an advantage.
Caseylj(1834) whispers: Ok so now must get ready for c6-c5 push 13...Bg7 (1:51) 14.Bf4 (1:09) O-O (1:12) 15.Rfd1 (3:09) Rd8 (2:22) 16.a3 (0:59) a5 (0:31) 17.Rac1 (0:37) Ba6 (0:34) 18.Qxc6 (1:00)
Caseylj(1834) whispers: QxQ RxQ Be2 Rd2 Bxg3 fxg doubles up his pawns but gives him a R on the 6 or even move to the 7th in a move or two, or looks like a rook and same color bishop endgame. but is it winable or a draw? 18...Qxc6 (3:53) 19.Rxc6 (0:03) Be2 (0:03) 20.Rd2 (0:51) Bxf3 (0:03) 21.gxf3 (0:00) Rxd4 (0:02) 22.Rxd4 (0:59) Bxd4 (0:00) 23.b4 (1:01)
Caseylj(1834) whispers: I was looking forward to see if he would follow the line that IM Houska uses in her new CK book 15. Be5 that move just looks interesting 23...axb4 (0:29) 24.axb4 (0:00) Ra2 (0:14) Caseylj offers a draw.
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: draw wins match, nicely done
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: i guess white can play for the b pawn
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: but after exch tseltzer declines the draw request. 25.Be3 (1:46) Bxe3 (1:38) 26.fxe3 (0:00) Rb2 (0:02) 27.Rc4 (0:50) Rb3 (1:29)
Caseylj(1834) whispers: why reject the draw and then trade off the DSB into a rook ending? 28.Kf2 (0:05) Kg7 (0:06)
JoshuaR(2015) whispers: his team needs him to win. it's fair i think 29.h4 (1:38) h5 (0:17) 30.Re4 (1:55) Rb2+ (0:45) 31.Ke1 (0:05) Kf6 (0:17) 32.Kd1 (0:27) Rf2 (1:53) 33.Rf4+ (0:04) Ke7 (0:28) 34.Kc1 (1:05) Re2 (0:15) 35.Re4 (2:58) Rf2 (0:08) 36.Rf4 (3:34) Re2 (0:06) tseltzer offers a draw.
