    Sorry, everyone. My bad -- typo on game score. Need to insert 22...Nxg6 23.fxg6, then everything else makes sense. I was on a phone, while entering this.

      Wayne Coppin -- Frank Dixon, Kingston Chess Club rapid, G/30, 2003
      French, C01. Elapsed times in brackets.
      Certain clubs have popular openings, and the FRENCH IS THE ONE FOR KCC. Historically, players from NM Martin Devenport in the 1970s to NM Martin Veltmann a few years later, to IMC Mario Adriano in the 80s and 90s, to NM Brian Profit, Dr. Peter Sibbald, Peter Green, into the 2000s and 2010s, and to the present day with Arman Azroy, Dr. Ted Hsu, and LCol Brian Phillips. Running through all that time: Dave Gordon (NOT Ottawa's David Gordon), and with some gaps, myself.
      1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.Bd3 b6
      [Criticized by WC afterwards. He avoids blocked centre positions in the French.]
      5.exd5 cxd5 6.Ngf3 Bd6 7.O-O O-O 8.Ne5 Bb7 9.f4 Nbd7 10.Ndf3 Ne4 11.Qe1 f6!?
      [Also criticized by WC as weakening. We shall see. I wanted to unbalance this Exchange French position, and defend along the second rank.]
      12.Ng4 c5 13.Qh4 Qc7 (13,6) 14.c3 Rae8 15.f5 Rf7 16.Qh5 Nf8 17.Bh6!? Ree7 18.Nh4 a5 (19,12) 19.Bg7?
      [WC could build further with 19.Rf2 and 20.Raf1, with small advantage. He won't have enough firepower to take me off.]
      19...Rxg7 20.Bxe4 dxe4 (25,12) 21.Nxf6+ Kh8 22.Ng6+ Nxg6 23.fxg6 Rxg6! 24.Nxh7 Bxh2+! 25.Kh1
      [Black mates in eight after 25.Kf2 Qg3+.]
      25....Rxh7! 26.Qxg6 Bf4+! (28,17)
      [WC said he was counting on Black taking a perpetual here, with 26...Bg3+, to stop his threat of Rf8#.]
      27.Kg1 Be3+! 28.Rf2 Qf7!!
      [But not 28...Qh2+? and White's King escapes!]
      29.Qxf7 Rxf7 30.Raf1 Rxf2 31.Rxf2 cxd4! 32.cxd4 Bxd4 33.Kf1 Bxf2 34.Kxf2 Kg7 0-1.
      [Black counter-attacked on the files White had opened up!]
