1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. g3 d5 4. Qc2 {White doesn't need to defend his c-pawn,
since ...dxc4 could be answered by Qa4+ regaining the pawn, and his queen
quickly becomes exposed here.} 4... c5 {Black takes advantage of White's move
order to prevent him from establishing a pawn on d4.} 5. d4 cxd4 6. Nxd4 e5 7.
Nf3 Nc6 {Black feels that his secure pawn on e5 gives him enough space in the
center, so he doesn't risk overextending himself by 8...e4.} 8. cxd5 Nxd5 9.
a3 {White begins to regret his fourth move, as now he must lose time or have
his queen harassed by ...Nb4.} 9... Be6 10. Bd2 Be7 11. Nc3 O-O 12. Bg2 Rc8 {
Black places his rook menacingly opposite White's queen.} 13. Rd1 {White
likewi se places his rook opposite Black's queen, but with Black ahead in
development and White's king still in the center there is no doubt whose rook
will be stronger.} 13... Nd4 {Black draws first blood, moving his knight into
a strong attacking position. Because of the pin of the knight on c3 White
can't trade off Black's aggressive knight:} 14. Qb1 { 14.Nxd4 exd4 And White
will loses the knight on c3.} 14... Bf6 {Black reinforce s his center pawn.
White's king is uncomfortable, and Black is ready to make it even less
comfortable.} 15. O-O {White is understandably anxious to get his King out of
the center, but this loses material. 15.h3 Nxc3 16.Bxc3 Bb3 when Black has a
decisive initiative.} 15... Nxc3 { Destroying the only defender of White's
pawn on e2.} 16. bxc3 Nxe2+ 17. Kh1 Qc7 {Getting out of White's rook's line of
fire, defending the b7 pawn and ganging up on White's c3 pawn.} 18. Qd3 Nxc3 {
Taking a second pawn, and threatening a fork which White overlooks.} 19. Rc1
e4 {White seems to have overlooked that Black's last move added another
defender to c3. It is ironic that the game ends with a final attack on White's
queen, whose early development got him into trouble in the first place.} 0-1
0-1
