deathrhapsody (1657) 0 - sinisa1945 (1811) 1
We're both had been playing each other several times before, hence we're not that alien anymore with each other's style. In this game, I ended up with a winning position, but lost due to time forfeit. I really need to manage my timing well, to avoid this type of thing from happening repeatedly, lol.

1. Nf3 g6 2. e4 Bg7 3. d4 c6 4. c4 e6
c4 is an aggressive departure from my more standard c3 move. Black's e6 aim to enforce his presence in the center, but I believe this is a a bad move since his light-square Bishop will be impeded by the pawn for a very long time.
5. Nc3 Ne7 6. Bg5 O-O 7. Be2 f6 8. Bh4 g5
This King-side pawns storm by Black will prove to be fatal later.
9. Bg3 d5 10. e5 fxe5 11. Nxe5 Nf5 12. Qc2 Nxg3 13. hxg3 h6
Black further weakening his position when he allow my h1 Rook to be in open file.
14. Bg4 Qf6 15. f3 Nd7 16. Nxd7 Bxd7 17. O-O-O dxc4
Temporarily giving away a pawn in order to secure my King's position first.
18. Ne4 Qe7 19. Qxc4 b5 20. Qc5 Rfe8
Black is in a whole lot of trouble, he can't even allow the exchange of Queens.
21. Nd6 Rf8 22. Rde1 Qf6 23. Re4 a5 24. Rhe1 Kh7
White's pieces working in harmony, inserting tremendous pressure into Black's structural position.
25. Bxe6 Bxe6 26. Rxe6 Qxd4 27. Qxd4 Bxd4
The Ladies went off the board, White ends up with a dominant position.
28. Re7+ Kg8 29. g4 Bc5 30. R1e6 Rad8
I overlook the power of the pin, but I manage to find a winning combination later.
31. Rg6+ Kh8 32. Rxh6+ Kg8 33. Rg6+ Kh8 34. Nf7+ Rxf7 35. Rxf7 Rc8
White's win the exchange and Black makes a rather questionable move. I'd calculated Be3+ as Black's best reply before I went in with the exchange, but he choose a more passive Rc8 move.
36. Rh6+ Kg8 37. Rd7 a4 38. Rhh7 Be3+ 39. Kc2 c5 40. Kd3 Bd4 41. Rh5 Re8
Bxb2 may have been more better for Black. The reason being; it would be rather difficult for me to stop Black's Queen-side pawns march.
42. Rxg5+ Kh8 43. Rh5+ Kg8 44. Rxd4 cxd4
Returning the exchanged material, Black's dark-square Bishop is just to dangerous.
45. Kxd4 Re2 46. Rxb5 Rxg2 47. Ra5 Rxb2 48. Rxa4 Kf7
All Black's pawns are dissolved, but I only have less than 1 1/2 minutes on my clock.
49. a3 Kf6 50. Rb4 Ra2 51. Rb3 Kg5 52. Kc4 Kf4 53. Kb4 Ke5 54. a4 Kd5 55. g5 Kc6 56. f4 Rf2 57. Rc3+ Kb6 58. Rc4 Rb2+ 59. Kc3 Rf2 60. g6 Ka5 61. Rd4 Rf3+ 62. Kb2 Rf2+ 63. Kc1 Rf1+ 64. Kd2 Rf2+ 65. Ke1 Rf3 66. Ke2 Rg3 67. f5 Rg5 68. Rf4 Kb6 69. f6 Rxg6 70. f7 Re6+ 71. Kf3 Rc6 72. f8=Q Rc3+ 73. Kg4 Rc7 74. Qf6+ Rc6 75. Qd4+ Ka5 76. Rf5+ Ka6 77. Qd3+ Kb7 78. Qb5+ Rb6 79. Rf7+ Kc8 0-1
And I forfeit on time. A rather unfortunate lost, considering that my position is actually winning.
