The following is taken from "The Independent" dated Monday 19th March 2001. (The Independent is one of the top four British quality newspapers.) It is the start of the daily chess column by Jon Speelman (English IGM, June 2000 Elo rating 2564, world rank 83).

Recently, I've spent rather more time than is good for me playing Civilization II, an excellent strategical computer game. While this has no direct connection with chess, it has afforded me an opportunity to reassess my "natural game-playing style", a quality that I hope to be obscured when playing chess by my having sufficient understanding to play more or less the right moves, whatever my personal feelings about them.In any case, when playing "Civ" it seems I'm very much a "Hedgehog" player, happy to accept a cramped but sound opening in the hope of breaking out later. In chess, the "Hedgehog" refers to a system of development in which Black (and occasionally White "with colours reversed"), facing a line in which White plays c4 and later d4, exchanges …c5xd4 and then sets up the characteristic pawn structure a6, b6, d6, e6, f7, g7, h7 - the "Hedgehog's" quills. ...

Great article, Smash ! Speelman is lucky to have maintained his chess level. Me, I’ve spent too many hours playing civ2 … But civ2 is so cool and so much less frustrating than chess. Sometimes I miss the stress, though. But no more sleepless nights and no more sunny days lost reading chess books …

Krrrrrsssshhhhhh !
The move I had to foresee since a3.
My attack definitively arrives first.
The question is will it be a decisive one or not.

Thanks Ribannah !
Well, there are pretty variations everywhere. This one could become quite geometrical ...
On 27 c3 … bxc3, 28 b3 trying to stop the attack. I had the idea of this Knight sacrifice : 28 … Nd2+, 29 Kc1 … Nxb3+, 30 axb3 … c2, 31 Nxc2 … Qc7, 32 Qe2 … Rc8, 33 Rd2 … a2, 34 Kb2 … Qa7, 35 Na1 … Rc1 and wins. It all looks forced but I didn’t doublecheck. I would only have if 27 c3 or c4 would have been played.

Or 35 Rh1 Rxc2+ 36 Rxc2 Qd4+. It all looks sound to me.
Julius, do you know a way to post diagrams? I could present some compositions (mate in 2, 3 etc.).

Julius, just to get things straight.

My 28th move was Nxd5, not Rxd5! I will hence plan my next move according to the current position (after 28 Nxd5 b3)...

I would also appreciate if any variations posted by you or Ribannah could be held off until after the game, or, that you send them via private messages.

Sorry Carolus, you are right of course. We got carried away

Sorry, we did indeed get carried away. And I miswrote the 28th white move. It is Nxd5 and you can play accordingly. It was Nxd5 on my chessboard anyway
But if you look at the variations we were talking about, they were all after a possible 27 c3/c4 bxc3 and have nothing to do with the actual situation of the game, after 28 Nxd5. This is told to explain that no cheating was intended, not to excuse anything.
Sorry Carolus.
