1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 c5 5. Nge2 cxd4 6. exd4 O-O 7. a3 { This
effectively forces the bishop to retreat.} 7... Be7 8. d5 exd5 9. cxd5 Re8 10.
g3 Bc5 11. Bg2 { At the time this game was played this natural developing move
was a new idea!} 11... d6 {11...Ng4 12.O-O Qf6 13.Nf4 Nxf2 14.Rxf2 Bxf2+
15.Kxf2 g5 16.Ne4 With White's superior development having the last word.} 12.
h3 Bf5 13. O-O Nbd7 { This simple move is the primary cause of Black's later
difficulties. 13.. .Ne4 14.Na4 Nd7} 14. g4 {The unexpected advance of the
pawns on the king-side is fully justified: it seriously restricts Black's
knights and promises to overgrow into a serious attack, while the bishop on c5
cannot take part in the coming battle.} 14... Be4 {14...Bg6 15.Ng3 Ne5 16.g5
Nfd7 17.Nce4 is better for White due to his kingside initiative.} 15. Ng3 Bxg2
16. Kxg2 Nf8 17. g5 N6d7 18. h4 Ne5 {Black's last chance to generate any
counterplay was connected with the moves 18...Rc8, 19...Bb6 and 20...Nc5.} 19.
h5 { Played with the option of loosening Black's kingside with pawn h6.} 19...
f6 20. Nce4 {With Black's dark squared bishop unable to defend his kingside,
White in effect is attacking with an extra piece.} 20... fxg5 21. Bxg5 Qb6 22.
h6 Nf7 23. hxg7 Nd7 24. Nf6+ Nxf6 25. Bxf6 {It is difficult to say where Black
could have played more strongly. White simply throws his forces onto the
kingside. White now threatens to win the Black's bishop with 26.b4.} 25... Qb5
26. Rh1 Bb6 27. Qf3 Ne5 28. Nf5 Nf7 {28...Nxf3 would allow White a mate in
one. } 29. Rxh7 {With this sacrifice, Black resigned since he has no way of
stopping the numerous threats; 29...Kxh7 would allow White a forced mate.} 1-0
1-0
