1. e4 e5 2. c3 Nf6 3. d4 Nxe4 4. dxe5 Bc5 {The opening has turned into a very
sharp position, and now White turns up the heat!} 5. Qg4 Nxf2 6. Qxg7 Rf8 {
White's invasion is more dangerous than Black's.} 7. Bg5 f6 8. exf6 d5 9. Be2
Bg4 {This minor nuisance can be dealt with in an obvious way.} 10. Bxg4 Nxg4
11. f7+ Rxf7 12. Qxf7+ Kxf7 13. Bxd8 Nf2 {Black has made far too many moves
with this knight, which now moves into a position from which it will never
escape.} 14. Bh4 Nxh1 15. Nf3 Nc6 16. Nbd2 Rg8 17. Kf1 d4 18. cxd4 Nxd4 19.

Rxg7+ Kxg7 26. Nxb6 axb6 {White wins because Black's knight is trapped. Notice
that this would be true even if the White king were far away, since the bishop
on h4 controls all of the escape squares for the knight.} 27. g4 Kg6 28. Kg2
h5 29. h3 1-0
