They may be slight errors or missed opportunities but do not affect the big picture. I would say that 23.d5 was a big mistake (weakening the black squares). 23.Nd5 instead would have been quite strong, perhaps followed by doubling rooks on the "a" file. White is in effect a piece up because of the bad B on h7. Hope my comments help. Cheers, Robert Hi Michael,

Having analysed the game with Anthony, we believe that questionable moves were made by both players (8...Be7 and 16.Nf4) giving away tempo, but White lost by missing 21.a5! (instead of Kh1). Your comments would be appreciated. Regards, Michael Thank you Robert for publishing this game.
