May-11-09 J Becerra-Rivero vs T Hughes, 2009

clocked: Tyler had his chances in this game. The computer suggested 16...f5 would have been nice. Instead, black played the reasonable Qc5, stopping white's intended f4. 18...Bf6 also looks good; however, black instead went with the interesting plan of Rxc3.
20...Qxc3 21.bxc3 Bxa4 looks to ...

clocked: 14. e4 allows the possibility of Bxe4 or Nxe4
21...Nxd5 was possible
25 ... a6 26 a4 were played in the game, so,
35.f4 cannot be played (after Be5+) due to Nxf4 Nxf4 Rb3 (the pawn is not on a2)
