[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "A04"]
[Opening "Reti: 1...c5"]
1. Nf3 c5 2. c4 Nf6 3. g3 {The English opening, where White is not as
concerned about getting a big advantage as with developing his pieces.} 3...
b6 4. Bg2 Bb7 5. O-O e6 6. Nc3 Be7 7. b3 O-O 8. Bb2 d6 9. e3 Nbd7 10. d4 a6
11. Qe2 Ne4 {This well-timed knight sortie gives Black control of the center.
11... Qc7 12.e4 is better for White on account of his space advantage.} 12.
Rfd1 Qb8 {12...Qc7 13.Rac1 Ndf6 leads to play with equal chances.} 13. Nxe4
Bxe4 14. Ne5 {White appears to be gaining a material advantage. However, Black
will obtain a bind on the light squares for his investment.} 14... Bxg2 15.
Nxd7 Qb7 16. Nxf8 Bf3 17. Qd3 Rxf8 {17...Bxd1 would allow White a forced
mate.} 18. Rd2 f5 { Although Black has nothing concrete for the lost exchange,
his control of the light squares cannot be taken lightly.} 19. Re1 {A mistake,
since Black's light squared bishop remains stronger than either of the White
rooks. Better was 19.Bc3.} 19... Qc8 {A strong move. Black intends to transfer
the queen over to the light squares on White's kingside.} 20. Qc3 Rf6 21. a3
Qe8 22. dxc5 Qh5 {With the horrible threat of 23...Qh3 followed by
24...Qg2++.} 23. h4 { 23.cxd6 gives Black has two different ways of forcing
mate. One is 23...Qxh2+ 24.Kxh2 Rh6+ 25.Kg1Rh1+} 23... Qg4 24. Kh2 { Forced in
view of the threatened 24...Qh3.} 24... bxc5 25. Rh1 Rg6 26. Kg1 Bxh4 {Taking
advantage of the pin on the g-file.} 27. Qa5 {27.Rxh4 loses material.} 27...
h6 {White resigned, as he has no good defense to 28...Bxg3.} 0-1
0-1
