[Event "Minsk"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Roizman"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C61"] [Opening "Spanish: Bird's, 5.O-O"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nd4 { This is the Bird's variation of the Spanish Game.} 4. Nxd4 exd4 5. O-O Bc5 6. d3 c6 7. Bc4 d6 8. f4 {Beginning active operations at the first opportunity.} 8... Nf6 9. e5 dxe5 {This move allows me to play a combination based on the opening of the f-file. 9...Nd5 is better as it keeps the file closed.} 10. Bxf7+ {Now Black will be unable to castle, while White retains the better pawn structure.} 10... Kxf7 11. fxe5 { The Black knight is unable to flee since it is pinned by the White rook.} 11... Qd5 12. exf6 gxf6 {White stands better in this position due to his superior pawn structure and the exposed nature of the Black king.} 13. Nd2 Rg8 { Black seeks play on the g-file.} 14. Ne4 Be7 15. Bf4 Rg6 16. Qe2 Bg4 17. Qf2 Rag8 {While this move is consistent with Black's previous play, it still leaves his king exposed to attack. 17...Kg7 is better, with the idea of tucking the king away at h8.} 18. Rae1 {White is not afraid of the attack on the g-pawn, since he can block the g- file with a minor piece. Therefore Black moves the h-pawn into the game.} 18... h5 19. Bg5 { This unexpected pin shows the vulnerability of the Black king.} 19... Qd8 { Against the curious move 19...Bh3 I had intended 20.Nxf6 Bxf6 21.Qxf6+ Rxf6 22. Rxf6+ Kg7 with a forced mate for White.} 20. Qf4 Be6 21. h4 Bd5 22. g4 { This move exposes the White king. However, the rook on g6 turns out to be in danger, and this decides the game.} 22... Kg7 {22...hxg4 23.h5 Rxg5 24.Nxg5+ Rxg5 would allow White to win material. Against 22...Rh8 I had prepared a queen sacrifice with 23.Bxf6 Rxg4+ 24.Qxg4 hxg4 25.Bxe7+ Kxe7 when White has a forced mate.} 23. gxh5 fxg5 24. Qe5+ Kh6 25. hxg6 gxh4 26. Rf5 Kxg6 27. Kh2 { Black resigned since he is defenseless against 28.Rg1+ followed by 29.Rh5++.} 1-0
