[Event "The Dalles Open"] [Site "The Dalles (OR)"] [Round "0"] [White "Turner Donald (OR)"] [Black "Buckendorf Glen (ID)"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B23"] [Opening "Sicilian: Closed, 2...Nc6"] 1. e4 {Notes by Glen Buckendorf.} c5 2. Nc3 {This leaves White the option of playing the Closed System of 3. g3 if he wishes, depending on how Black replies.} Nc6 3. Nf3 g6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Bg7 6. Be3 d6 {Black must prevent 7. Nxc6 bxc6 8. e5! pushing on Black's king's Knight which could have been moved instead of 6. ... d6.} 7. f3 Nf6 8. Qd2 O-O 9. Bc4 {9. O-O-O is equally as good. Each one must be handled by Black in a quite different manner, however.} Nxd4 10. Bxd4 Qa5 11. g4 Be6 12. Bxe6 fxe6 13. h4 h5 {To prevent h4-h5 and try to keep the h-file closed. Barden says Black must attack along the open c-file as quickly as possible because White's attack develops so fast that, as a rule, a loss of even one tempo means a lost game for Black.} 14. O-O-O hxg4 {Rather than passsive play, Black has chooses a questionable active defense -- the key to which is the open c-file.} 15. Rdg1 gxf3 16. Rxg6 Kf7 17. Rhg1 Rg8 {White's doubled Rooks must be traded or Black is in trouble.} 18. Bxf6 {? A mistake! Remember, in a cramped position, exchanges only help the one who's pieces are in each others way.} exf6 {18. ... Bxf6 19. Qh6 Qe5! and Black holds the position. Black thinks the d-pawn is poisoned, and so it is, but in a different way than Black sees.} (18... Bxf6 19. Qh6 Qe5 {!}) 19. Qxd6 Bh6+ 20. Kb1 {Only now does Black see that 20. ... Rxg6 21. Qd7+ Kf8 22. Rxg6 and all White's mating threats can't be covered.} Bf8 {? Black misses the way out by 20. ... Rad8 21. Qf3 f2! and Black winsmaterial.} 21. Rxg8 f2 22. Qxf8+ Rxf8 { %04...} {#r} 1-0
