Nf3 d5 4. exd5 Bd6 { 4...Nf6 is normal, but Bronstein loves to improvise.} 5. Nc3 Ne7 6. d4 O-O 7. Bd3 Nd7 {Black should play 7...c6 to eliminate the cramping pawn on d5.} 8. O-O h6 {Black feared a possible Ng5, but this is a serious loss of time. He should have played 8...Nf6.} 9. Ne4 {White gives up a pawn to get his pieces into attacking positions with gain of time.} 9... Nxd5 10. c4 Ne3 11. Bxe3 fxe3 12. c5 Be7 {Playing to hold the e3 pawn by 12...Bf4 gets into trouble by 13 g3 and now neither 13...Bg5 14 Nfxg5 hxg5 15 Qh5 nor 13...f5 14 Nc3 Bg5 15 h4 Be7 16 Nd5 is any good.} 13. Bc2 Re8 {Black sees the approaching attack on h7 and thus doesn't want his knight traded off after 13.. .Nf6 14 Qd3 Nxe4 15 Qxe4, but that might be better than the text, which gives White an extra tempo to build up.} 14. Qd3 e2 {Black doesn't like the looks of 14...Nf8 15 Ne5 and tries to break up White's battery, but...} 15. Nd6 {White gives up a whole rook just for one tempo to attack f7. Black should play 15...Bxd6 16 Qh7+ Kf8 17 cxd6 exf1Q+ 18 Rxf1 cxd6 19 Qh8+ Ke7 20 Qxg7 Rg8 21 Re1+ Ne5 22 Qxh6 Be6, when he may get out alive.} 15... Nf8 16. Nxf7 exf1=Q+ 17. Rxf1 Bf5 {Desperatio n, but 17...Kxf7 18 Ne5+ Kg8 19 Qh7+ is a beautiful way to get mated and 17... Qd5 loses to 18 Bb3 Qxf7 19 Bxf7+ Kxf7+ 20 Qc4+ Kg6 21 Qg8.} 18. Qxf5 Qd7 19. Qf4 Bf6 20.
