[Event "Soviet Union"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Alekhine"] [Black "Strazdins"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B10"] [Opening "Caro-Kann: English Variation"] 1. e4 c6 2. c4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. d4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Bg5 dxc4 {Now Black gets cramped by White's advancing d-pawn. 6...e6 would have been better.} 7. d5 Ne5 8. Nf3 {White develops with gain of time by attacking Black's advanced knight. Black should now try to simplify by 8...Bg4.} 8... Nd3+ {Losing more time. Black is at least three moves from castling and simply can't afford this, as he quickly learns.} 9. Bxd3 cxd3 10. Qxd3 a6 {The decisive waste of time. Black didn't want to let White check him on b5, but now he's down five active pieces to one.} 11. O-O e6 {It seems foolis h to invite White to open lines, but 11...g6 12.Bxf6 would also open the e-file.} 12. Rad1 exd5 13. Bxf6 Qxf6 14. Nxd5 {One more gain of time. Black has very few squares left as his queen must guard both c7 and d8.} 14... Qd8 {Black resigns before White starts taking his pieces by 15.Qe3+ and 16.Nb6. If you don't see why this will win material, play it against Gambit!} 1-0
