[Event "Simultaneous Exhibition"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Cuadras"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "E12"] [Opening "Queen's Indian: Petrosian"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. a3 {The Petrosian variation in answer to the Queen's Indian Defense. White's idea is to prevent Black from pinning his knight after Nc3.} 4... Bb7 5. Nc3 d5 6. cxd5 exd5 {This natural recapture continues Black's fight for the center. Also possible is 6...Nxd5, though 7. Qc2 (with the idea of gaining control of the center with 8.e4) has brought me a number of victories.} 7. g3 Be7 8. Bg2 O-O 9. O-O Nbd7 10. Bf4 { White intends to play against Black's somewhat exposed c-pawn.} 10... Nh5 11. Be3 c6 12. Qc2 {Black's main problem in this position is the passive position of his pieces, while White's position has no obvious weaknesses to attack.} 12... f5 {This pawn advance only succeeds in making holes at e5 and g5.} 13. Rad1 {Played with the idea of dropping the bishop back to c1 in event of f4.} 13... f4 14. Bc1 Bd6 15. e4 { An attack on the flank is best countered by an attack in the center.} 15... fxe3 {If15...dxe4 16.Nxe4} 16. fxe3 Ndf6 { 16...Ba6 17.Rfe1 Nxg3 18.hxg3 Bxg3 is an interesting alternative.} 17. e4 { Opening up the position for my two bishops.} 17... Nxe4 18. Nxe4 dxe4 19. Ng5 { This strong intermediate moves gives White a noticeable initiative.} 19... Rxf1+ 20. Bxf1 {The bishop intends to transfer to the a2-g8 diagonal with threats to Black's king.} 20... Qe7 21. Bc4+ Kf8 22. Nxh7+ Ke8 23. Bg5 { For all practical purposes the game is over.} 23... Nf6 24. Rf1 { The pin on Black's knight brings White further material rewards.} 24... Kd7 25. Rxf6 {This small combination removes all Black resistance.} 25... gxf6 26. Nxf6+ Kc8 {26...Kc7 allows White to win material.} 27. Nxe4 Qf8 28. Nxd6+ Qxd6 29. Qf5+ {Black resigned since he must part with his queen.} 1-0
