1. Nf3 c5 2. c4 Nc6 3. Nc3 g6 4. e3 d6 5. d4 Bg7 6. d5 Ne5 7. Nd2 f5 8. Be2
Nf6 9. h3 {Preparing to drive back Black's knight, but weakening his king
side.} 9... e6 10. f4 {White drives the knight from its good square, but his
kingside is now quite porous.} 10... Nf7 11. dxe6 {If White had let Black take
on d5 he would have had no compensation for the hole on e4, but now he falls
behind in development.} 11... Bxe6 12. Bf3 O-O 13. O-O {White doesn't like the
looks of 13 Bxb7 Nh5. Now, however, Black dissolves his only weakness and
prepares to go to work on White's king position.} 13... Rb8 14. a4 {White
can't allow ... b5, when Black would have the initiative all the way across
the board.} 14... d5 15. cxd5 Nxd5 16. Nxd5 Bxd5 17. e4 Be6 { Black avoids
trading on e4, which would give White a square for his knight.} 18. Qc2 Qh4 {
A great square for the queen, and the consequence of White's risky pawn
moves.} 19. Nb3 fxe4 20. Bxe4 Ng5 {Beautiful. Now White must either allow the
f-file to be opened onto his king or let Black's knight join the party after,
e.g. 21 Bd3 Bxh3.} 21. fxg5 Rxf1+ 22. Kxf1 Rf8+ 23. Bf3 { 23 Kg1 Qf2+ followed
by Be5+ isn't any better.} 23... Bc4+ { White gets mated after 24 Kg1 Qe1+ 25
Kh2 Be5+ 26 g3 Rxf3 27 Qxc4+ Kh8.} 0-1
