[Event "Kapfenberg"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Tal"] [Black "Bellon Lopez"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B30"] [Opening "Sicilian: Rossolimo"] 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 b6 {This is awkward; with White developing normally, Black puts his pieces offside and risks falling behind in development.} 4. O-O Bb7 5. c3 d5 { Very bad. Now Black will get into trouble because of the pin on his knight.} 6. Qa4 Rc8 7. Qxa7 {This is important not so much because White wins a pawn but because Black can no longer play ...a6 to break the pin.} 7... Rc7 8. Ne5 { Now White threatens just 9 exd5 or Qa4, piling more pressure on c6.} 8... e6 9. exd5 exd5 10. Re1 {Threatening Nxc6+ and strengthening the pin, since now a knight on e7 will be pinned and useless for the defense of c6.} 10... Be7 11. Qxb6 Qc8 12. d4 Kf8 {Black finally gets out of the pins, but it's too late.} 13. Nxc6 Bxc6 14. Bf4 {Undermining the defence of c6. Black must now lose at least another exchange, so he called it a day.} 1-0
