[Event "Cagnes sur mer"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Jansson"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "B21"] [Opening "Sicilian: Smith-Morra Gambit"] 1. e4 c5 2. d4 {White intends to play the Smith Morra gambit, where White sacrifices a pawn for a lead in development.} 2... e6 {I now prefer to capture the pawn, since the only way to refute a gambit is to accept it.} 3. Nf3 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Be3 {6.Ndb5, bringing pressure on the d6 square, is the true test of Black's opening play.} 6... Bb4 {Black now has numerous tactics based on the pinned knight at c3. For example Black's immediate threat is to play 7...Nxe4 winning a pawn.} 7. Bd3 d5 8. exd5 { 8.Nxc6 bxc6 9.e5 Nd7 10.Qg4 is a more aggressive continuation.} 8... Nxd5 9. Nxc6 bxc6 10. Bd4 Nxc3 11. Bxc3 {11.bxc3 allows Black to win material.} 11... Bxc3+ 12. bxc3 Qf6 {Black stands slightly better because of White's doubled c-pawn. Still, with correct play I don't believe this is a big enough advantage for Black to win.} 13. O-O { 13.Qd2 Qe5+ 14.Be2 Ba6 is better for Black due to the pin on White's bishop.} 13... Qxc3 14. Qf3 g6 {Played to take away the b1-h7 diagonal from White's light squared bishop. 14...O-O would allow White a winning continuation.} 15. Rab1 O-O 16. Rb3 {16.Rfd1 is better, when White's lead in development compensates for his lost pawn.} 16... Qc5 17. Be4 Ba6 18. Bxc6 Rac8 19. Rc3 { A miscalculation which costs White material. Better was 19.Be4.} 19... Qa5 { White has serious problems as his bishop is pinned down on the c-file. The immediate threat is 20...Bb5 or Bb7.} 20. Rd1 Be2 { The deflection of White's queen costs him the exchange.} 21. Qxe2 Qxc3 22. Ba4 Rfd8 {White resigned because of his material deficit. For practice setup this game and try defending White's position against Gambit.} 0-1
