1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 c4 6.Bc2 Nc6 7.b3 Na5 8.0-0 Bd6 9.Nbd2 cxb3 10.axb3 0-0 11.Ba3 Bxa3 12.Rxa3 Nc6 13.Re1 Qd6 14.Ra1 a6 15.e4 dxe4 16.Nxe4 Nxe4 17.Bxe4 Rb8 18.Bxh7+?! Kxh7 19.Ng5+ Kg6 20.h4 f5 21.Re3 Rh8
22.Rg3 Kf6 23.Nf3 Bd7 By this time all the other games had finished, with the score 2-2. I checked on the tiebreak rule and was told it was board count; since they had wins on boards 2 and 3 against ours on boards 1 and 5, Steve had to win. 24.Qd2 Rbg8 Down to his last five minutes... 25.Qg5+ Kf7 26.Qg6+ Ke7 27.Ng5

Be8! 28.Qxe6+ Qxe6 29.Nxe6 Kxe6 With the queens off, the attack is spent and white is two pieces down for no compensation. His only hope is a win on the clock. 30.Re1+ Kf6 And with the time control reached, that disappears too. 31.Rge3 Bf7 0-1
