[Event "las vegas (8.1)"]
[Black "Cake"]
[White "KingsRow"]
[Result "0-1"]
1. 10-14 22-17 2. 11-16 {The Gemini opening. Ed selected this one after seeing Cake play a weak defence in an earlier round against Nemesis.} 17x10 3. 6x15 23-18 4. 15x22 25x18 5. 16-20 {A weak move, although it's probably a draw. 7-10 is the standard defence.} 24-19 6. 7-10 18-15 7. 1-6 29-25 8. 3-7 25-22 9. 9-13 30-25 10. 10-14 {last book move} 26-23 11. 7-11 31-26 12. 11x18 22x15 13. 8-11 {?? The loser. 2-7 instead offers drawing chances, although the endgame is very tough.} 15x8 14. 4x11 19-16 15. 12x19 23x7 16. 2x11 26-23 17. 13-17 23-19 18. 6-10 19-16 19. 11-15 16-11 20. 15-18 11-7 21. 17-22 {Things look ok for black, he wins a man, and also gains a king - but KingsRow has seen deeper!} 7-2 22. 22x29 2-6 23. 10-15 6-10 24. 15-19 10x17 25. 19-23 17-14 26. 29-25 {At this point I resigned for Cake. White can play the simple 14-10-15, or he can first crown the man on 28 - there is nothing black can do but wait for the end.} 0-1
