[Event "Thessaloniki Olympiad"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Short"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "A13"] [Opening "English: 1...e6 2.Nc3 d5"] 1. c4 e6 2. Nc3 d5 3. d4 Be7 {A finesse with the idea of provoking White to move his knight to f3, thus taking away the plan of f3 followed with e4.} 4. cxd5 exd5 5. Bf4 c6 6. Qc2 g6 7. e3 Bf5 8. Qd2 {White removes his queen in the hope of later gaining time against the Black bishop.} 8... Nf6 {8...Nd7 9.f3 g5 10.Bg3 h5 11.e4 is also better for White thanks to his control of the center.} 9. f3 c5 {Black does not intend to give up the center without a fight! } 10. Bh6 {Now the Black king must remain in the center.} 10... cxd4 { 10...Nc6 11.dxc5 d4 12.exd4 Qxd4 13.Qxd4 Nxd4 14.O-O-O Bxc5 allows White to win material.} 11. exd4 a6 {Played in order to prevent Bb5.} 12. g4 Be6 13. Nge2 Nbd7 {This move is a mistake as it takes the d7 square away from the other knight. Better was 13...Nc6. Then 14.Bg2 Bf8 15.O-O Bxh6 16.Qxh6 Qb6 17. Rad1 O-O-O 18. Rd2 is only slightly better for White because of his more active pieces.} 14. Bg2 Nb6 15. b3 {Preventing Nc4 once and for all.} 15... Rc8 16. O-O Rc6 17. h3 {Black's two main problems are: his king is stuck in the center, and he has no targets to attack.} 17... Nfd7 18. Nd1 Rg8 19. Nf2 f5 { Black hastens the end, since obviously one should not open the center with one's king still there.} 20. Rae1 g5 21. gxf5 Bf7 {21...Bxf5 22.Ng3 Be6 23.Nh5 Rg6 24.Ng4 Qc7 25.Ng7+ Kd8 26.Nxe6+ Rcxe6 27.Rxe6 Rxe6 28.Bxg5 leaves White a pawn ahead.} 22. Ng4 Bh5 23. Ng3 { Black resigned as he has no place to hide his king. For example...} 23... Bxg4 24. Bxg5 {taking advantage of the pin on the e-file.} 24... Rxg5 25. Qxg5 Kf8 26. f6 Bxf6 27. fxg4 {When the new pin on the f-file would decide the game.} 1-0
