1. c4 {My opponent here is an IM presumably born in 1982 and has a blitz
rating on ICC of 3200, best of 3300 so obviously he is a very strong player!}
c5 2. g3 g6 3. Bg2 Bg7 4. Nc3 Nc6 5. Nf3 e6 {This is one of the lines I always
couldn't remember what to do. Originally I wanted to play the 6.e3 Nge7 7.d4
line but it's rather dry. I have never tried 6.d4 so I looked in Marin's book.}
6. d3 Nge7 7. Bg5 {The move suggested by Marin, aiming to improve on
Petrosian-Fischer by provoking ...h6. This is based on some games by Jobava
mostly as has been established in the long thread about the Marin books on
Chesspub.} h6 8. Bd2 d5 9. a3 b6 10. O-O Bb7 11. Rb1 O-O 12. b4 cxb4 13. axb4
dxc4 14. dxc4 Rc8 15. Qc1 {All according to plan and here is the move that
makes sense of Bg5-d2. The tempo is recovered since the h6 pawn is attacked
and white has time for Rd1 etc.} Kh7 16. Rd1 Qc7 17. Nb5 Qb8 18. Nd6 $1 {
A novelty from Marin and this I could all play really fast which is obviously
fairly important in a 3-minutegame!} Rc7 19. Nxb7 Rxb7 20. b5 Nd8 21. Bb4 {
Marin's line ends here as much better for white. I rememered this all and
could play it fast and indeed white stands significantly better.} Re8 {
it's hard to suggest moves here} 22. Bd6 (22. Ne1 {might be the simplest way.
White wins an exchange as the rook has no squares. 22...Rc7 23.Bd6}) 22... Qc8
23. Ne5 Nf5 24. Bxb7 Nxb7 (24... Qxb7 {at least defends the f7 pawn but white
is still in control up the exchange for little compensation if any}) 25. Nxf7
Kg8 26. g4 (26. e4 {must be better, not weakening the king! I must have been
afraid of ...Nd4 type moves which is just seeing ghosts}) 26... Kxf7 27. gxf5
gxf5 28. Bf4 {I might not have selected the best way to realize the advantage.
But my position is much better and should be winning. In a 3-minute game it's
easy to go wrong and in time trouble I allowed him a perpetual check after
some clumsy moves. So the end of this game is not important but we'll give it
anyway.} Rg8 29. Kf1 Nc5 30. Bxh6 Qb7 31. f3 Bf6 32. Bf4 Ke8 33. Bg3 Qg7 34.
Qf4 Kf7 35. Qc7+ Kg6 36. Qxg7+ Rxg7 37. Rd6 Rh7 38. Rbd1 Bg5 39. Kg2 Kf6 40.
