Mike Serovey Defeats Harry Ball

Here is another chess game from 1990. I played the Botvinnik system against a closed Sicilian. Things were pretty even until my opponent blundered away his Bishop on move number 18. He compounded his error on move number 33 and ended down a Rook and pawn. This game, complete with analysis and diagrams, can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/HarryBall-Sicilian.html. Here is the game in PGN.
