   (4...c6 {Is what Marin has preferred for years & returns to in his 2017 book.})
5.Qd2 a6
{This move more associated with Tiger Hillarp=Persson cf The Modern Tiger. Positions like this are discussed in Fernandez- The Modernized Modern Defence(2020) they cross over into Pirc lines- but mostly he thinks Wh would be including an early Nf3 at some point. [DGP] When white plays Be3 it is more difficult for black to play c5, so playing c6 here is the norm.  However, having researched white's previous games against the Pirc, he has a tendency to play a4 in reply.  In the 150 attack white castles queenside so this will weaken him. Also, when Be3 is played black's strategy is to gang up on the e4 square, fianchettoing the bishop, so keeping the diagonal clear is useful.}

{This is normally played before Be3, allowing the N to get to f3, giving the B then an escape square. [DGP] Also confusing the 150 with the Austrian. Austrian f4 plans to attack in the centre with e5, 150 pushes the h-pawn.  Here he is trying to do both.}

{White wants to play Bf4 next (the best move), so black should play Bc5 now, to encourage white to play e3, which prevents his desired move of Bf4.}
5.Bf4 Bb4+ 6.Nc3 {Nbd2 is normal to avoid doubling the c-pawns.} 6...Qe7 7.Qd5 Bc5 $2
{If black cannot recover the pawn then his compensation lies in the doubled c-pawn.  He MUST play Bxc3+!.}

{White should push up on the queen-side with a3, then b4, and c5.  Put the pawns on dark squares so that the bishop can become a better piece. 0-0-0 just puts his king where black is strongest.}

[Opening "London, Torre"]

1.d4 {My opponent Neil is very experienced; he had a much higher rating in the past.} 1...d5
{I wanted to play the Torre Attack but it is less effective against1...D4 so I play London instead.}
2.Bf4 Nf6 3.Nf3 c6 4.e3 Bg4 5.Nbd2 e6 6.h3 {Playing Bd3 before h3 would have been preferable.}
6...Bf5
{He could have played the bishop here first time.  h3 is a move always played by white so he has given me a tempo.}
7.c3 Bd6 8.Ne5
{The dark bishop exchange is in white's favour, because of the pawn structure, but white does not want to develop the black queen for free.}
8...O-O 9.Be2 Qc7 10.O-O {That completes the London standard moves, now for a plan.} 10...Nbd7
{Black is all geared up for the freeing move e5, so white must prevent this.}
11.Ndf3 Ne4 12.Rc1 {Getting the option of c4 at an opportune moment.} 12...Rad8 13.b3
{White should have exchanged the minor pieces in the centre.  14...Ba3 15.Nxf7.}
13...f6 {Black forces the exchanges.} 14.Nxd7 Qxd7 15.Bxd6 Nxd6 16.Bd3 Rfe8 17.Re1 $2
{There is nothing specifically wrong with this move, it is Houdini's 3rd choice, but it is a 'safe' move. White is moving too quickly, due to the short time control (45 + 15).  This is a critical point where white needs to take the initiative with c4.}
17...e5 {Now black takes the initiative.} 18.Bxf5 Qxf5 19.dxe5 fxe5 20.Qc2
{Houdini agrees with this move. Black has won the opening.  His pieces can soon be reassembled for a king-side attack, using the open f-file.}
20...Qe4 21.Qxe4 $2 {Helping black.  Better was Red1.} 21...Nxe4 22.Red1 Kf7 23.c4
{At last, but it would have been stronger with the black king back at g8.}
23...Ke6 24.cxd5+ {Houdini scores it level.} 24...Rxd5 25.Rxd5 Kxd5 26.Rd1+ Ke6 27.Kf1 h6 28.Ke1
{Not Ke2 of course, due to Nc3.}
28...Re7 29.Rd3
{Another 'safe' move made because it was fast.  Opportunities are being missed.  Rd8 was better, then the black rook cannot move because it has to protect against Re8+, Re7, Rxe7+, Kxe7 and Nxe5.}
29...Rf7 30.Rd8 Nc3 {On its way to d5 where it can protect against the Re8 threat.} 31.a3 Nd5
{Still level according to Houdini.}
32.Re8+
{Swapping rooks virtually assures a draw. Black has a good queen-side majority but an isolated pawn. Level is not the same as drawn.  If white wants to win then keeping rooks on would give a better chance.}
32...Re7 33.Rxe7+ Nxe7 34.Kd2 Nf5 35.Kd3 Nd6 36.Nd2 Nb5 37.a4
{If Nc4 then black would reply Nd6 making white withdraw, since exchanging knights enhances the value of his queen-side majority.}
37...Nd6 38.e4 b6 39.f3 a6 40.Ke3
{Houdini is giving level for all moves.  This is a 'do not hurry' move, with no intention of disturbing the king-side.}
40...b5 41.axb5 axb5
{Here black offered a draw, and white accepted. If the game continued white would have played b4, followed by Nc3 and Nc5.} 1/2-1/2
