Ng3 Be6 13. b3 Nc7 14. Be2 {At this point, I cannot see a plan of action for Black. White has control of the center and his pieces are poised for a kingside attack.} a5 15. O-O {White, by playing 15 a4 also would leave Black's game void of any promise. The text allows Black some play on the queenside.} a4 16. Bh6 Qd7 17. Bxg7 Kxg7 18. Rad1 axb3 19. axb3 Ra3 20. Qg5 h6 21. Nh5+ Kh7 22. Qh4 Bg4 23. Nf6+ {White loses the way. 23 Ng5+ hxg5 would lose to 24 Nf6++; on 23 ... Kg8 or 23 ... Kh8, 24 Nxg4 or 24 Nf6, either one makes it tough for Black.} (23.

Bc4 Ra5 30. b4 Rb5 31. Re5 {31 Rh3 Kg8, and then 32 Rhd3 is better.} (31. Rh3 Kg8 32. Rhd3) 31... Qc7 32. Rexd5 Rxb4 33. Rd7 Qxc4 34. Rxf7+ Kg8 35. Qxc4 Rxc4 36. Rdd7 Rd4 37. Rxb7 {37 ... Rdxe7 is better and ... Nd8 can never be played and the Black pieces are tied down to defend.} (37. Rde7) 37... Nd8 38. Rg7+ Kf8 39. Rb6 {The Rs bel ong doubled on the 7th rank as it ties up Black's game. this is the first of a series of very poor moves that lose, at least, a game that could have been drawn.} (39. Rb8 g5 40.
