well, I was playing against a beginner. So I just bit my lip and went for it! I've always wanted to make my own "immortal game", so... here it is.
I apologize for the technical errors, I wanted to edit my post and did it a bit too well... So let's try again!
Nice game!
I have realized that none of my games are immortal, and I have very few game-scores left. I tried to reconstruct a very nice game I played in 1985(!) but something seems to have slipped my memory so here is a place-holder, from a rapid tournament (1 hour each for the whole game) in, I think, 1997. I haven't analyzed it thoroughly, so I don't know if everything was correct. I think we both could have played better at certain points, so some input would be well come.
NN - luceafarul, Bucuresti 1997(?)
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Ne1 Nd7 10.Be3 f5 11.f3 h6!? An idea from the very creative Kirgizian IGM Leonid Yurtaev, who introduced it against Korchnoi in Manila 1992]
12.Nd3 b6 13.b4 g5 14.c5 Nf6 15.cxd6 cxd6 16.b5 Qe8!? In the stem game, Yurtaev played 16...Ng6 which is probably better (he got a small advantage, but Korchnoi managed to save a half point). I just wanted to get my opponent out of the book.
17.Nb4 Qg6 18.Bd3!? I prefer 18.Nc6 which I think gives white a small advantage. Note that after 18...Nxc6 19.dxc6 fxe4 20.fxe4 Nxe4? is impossible because of 21.Qd5+
f4 19.Bf2 g4! 20.Kh1 g3 21.Bg1 gxh2 22.Bf2 22.Bxh2 Nh5 should be good for black.
Qg5 23.Nc6 Ng6. I think black is good here. Perhaps white should have refrained from Nc6 and just pushed the a-pawn, but nevertheless I think I have good attacking chances.
24.a4 Nh5 25.Qe1?! Probably too slow. 25.a5 might be better, since 25...Nh4 is not to be feared, 26.Bxh4 Qxh4 27.Ne2. However black has a good attack after 25...Ng3+ 26.Bxg3 fxg3 with Nf4/Nh4 and Bh3 to come.
Ng3+ 26.Bxg3 fxg3 27.a5 Nf4 28.Bc4 Bh3! 29.Ra2 Here and on the next move it is probably better to give up the exchange and play gxh3, even if that should be better for black.
h5 30.Nd1 Bh6 31.Ne3 Bd7 With a clear advantage.
32.Qa1 bxa5 33.Rxa5?! 33.Nxa5!? ought to be tried.
Nh3! Decisive. If now 34.gxh3 Qxe3 and I can't see any salvation for white e.g 35.Rxa7 g2+ 36.Kxg2 Qd2+37.Rf2 Bxh3 38.Kxh3 Qxf2 39.Rxa8 h1Q!+ and wins. 34.Nf5 Bxf5 35.exf5 Nf2+ is also trivial.
34.Rxa7 Qxe3 35.Rxa8 He is generous enough to let me mate him. If 35.gxh3 then Qd2 36.Rg1 hxg1Q+ 37.Qxg1 Be3! 38.Qxg3+ Kh8 39.Rxa8 Rxa8 and wins.
Qg1+ 36.Rxg1 Nf2#

Not a masterpiece, but rather charming, or what?
