Nc3 d6 3. g3 f5 4. d3 Nf6 5. Bg2 c6 {Well played.} 6. e3 {White must hit the center to cause Black technical problems. White's failure to do so simply yields the advantage to Black.} Be7 7. Nge2 Be6 8. b3 d5 9. cxd5 { This exchange gives Black c6 for his N.} cxd5 10. O-O O-O 11. Kh1 {Locking the center with f2-f4 is necessary. This would allow White to place a N on d4 with plenty of play.} Nc6 12. Bb2 Qd7 13. Qd2 Nh5 14. Rad1 {? Last chance for f2-f4. } f4 15. exf4 exf4 16. gxf4 {16 Nxf4 is better. It swaps the Ns and allows White to place the Q's N at e2. Even this might not be good enough now, though. } Bd6 17. Nxd5 Bxd5 18. Bxd5+ Kh8 19. Rg1 {?} Bb4 20. Nc3 Bxc3 21. Qxc3 Qxd5+ 22.
