[Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Davidson"] [Black "Spielmann"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "A40"] [Opening "Queen's Pawn: 1...e6 2.Nf3 c5"] {The White pawn on h3 gives Black the opportunity to open the g-file} 1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 c5 3. c3 Nf6 4. Nbd2 cxd4 5. cxd4 d5 6. e3 Nc6 7. Be2 Bd6 8. O-O Qc7 9. h3 $2 {Thanks to White's passive handling of this opening, Black already has the much better of it. His advantages are: 1) His Bishop on d6 more active than White's on e2 2) His Knight on c6 more active than White's on d2 After the last move he also has a third advantage - the weakening of White's castled position. This is all the more serious in that Black has not yet castled, and so can throw up his Kingside pawns without endgangering his own King. This sort of thing is an accepted part of opening theory} 9... Rg8 $1 10. Qc2 g5 11. e4 {White reacts in the centre to Black's flank attack} 11... g4 12. hxg4 Nxg4 {The pawn advance has achieved its desired effect - the open g-file} 13. e5 ( 13. exd5 exd5 14. Qxh7 Ne7 15. Qd3 (15. Bb5+ Bd7 16. Bxd7+ Qxd7 17. -- O-O-O) 15... Rh8) 13... Ncxe5 $1 14. Qxh7 (14. Qxc7 Nxf3+ 15. gxf3 Nf6+ { White is a pawn short}) 14... Nf6 15. Qh4 Ng6 $1 { This is the sharpest continuation} 16. Qg5 (16. Qxf6 Be7 $19 {trapped Queen}) 16... Nf4 17. Bb5+ Ke7 18. Qh6 Bd7 0-1
