Nc3 c6 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 dxc4 7. Bxc4 b5 8. Bd3 a6 9. e4 c5 10. e5 cxd4 11. Nxb5 axb5 12. exf6 Qb6 13. fxg7 Bxg7 14. O-O Nc5 15. Bf4 Bb7 16. Re1 Rd8 17. Rc1 Rd5 18. Be5 Bxe5 19. Rxe5 Rxe5 20. Nxe5 Nxd3 21. Qxd3 f6 {The Black king is clearly in a lot of trouble, with only a little nuisance value on the g-file as compensation. The combination of queen and rook are so strong that White can afford to part with the knight.} 22. Qg3 fxe5 {Black might as well capture, as the queen will infiltrate at g7 anyway.} 23. Qg7 Rf8 24. Rc7 {White has complete control of the seventh rank and threatens mate at d7 and d7. Black must sacrifice the queen in order to stay in the game. } 24... Qxc7 {24...Qd6 25.Rxb7 d3 26.Ra7! The threat is Ra8+.} 25. Qxc7 Bd5 { Even though Black no longer has to worry about checkmate, the queen can attack most of the White pawns and resistance proves futile.} 26. Qxe5 d3 27. Qe3 Bc4 28. b3 Rf7 29. f3 {White is in no hurry. This move creates a little breathing space for the king which can now work on the dark squares. The bishop can be captured later.} 29... Rd7 30. Qd2 e5 31. bxc4 bxc4 32. Kf2 Kf7 33. Ke3 Ke6 34. Qb4 Rc7 { 34...d2 35.Qxd2 Rxd2 36.Kxd2 and the endgame is easily winning for White.} 35. Kd2 Rc6 36. a4 {Black gave up here.} 1-0
