Nc3 Bb7 4. Nf3 Bb4 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. Qe2 c5 7. a3 Bxc3+ 8. bxc3 c4 9. Bxc4 Nxe4 10. Bb2 {This extremely limited Bishop will later become a very valuable piece on the long diagonal.} Qc7 11. Rd1 {Threatening 12.N-Q2.} d5 12. Bb5+ Bc6 {12...N-Q2 allows P-B4. If 13.P-B4 now, then ...BxB; 15.PxB, N-B6 and White is in trouble.} 13. Bd3 Nd7 14. c4 Nef6 15. O-O Rc8 { Threatening the win of a piece by ...PxP.} 16. cxd5 Nxd5 17. g3 Ba4 $2 {Black should have played ...N-B6; 18.BxN, BxN with advantage. My opponent spent a great deal of time on this move and must have simply wanted something more. My suspicion is that Black's position was over-estimated.} 18. Rd2 Nc3 19. Qe3 Nd5 {P-KR3 seems necessary. Perhaps Black was looking fo a perpetual after Q-K2.} 20. Qg5 $1 O-O {Castling into it is perhaps the lesser of evils.} 21. Qh4 { Both players were moving fast. With 10-15 minutes on his clock (1/2 hour on mine) I didn't want to give him a reprieve. The Q here not only attacks KR7 but also aims at the Bishop on QR4.} h6 22. c4 N5f6 23. Rc1 Bc6 $1 24. d5 { Still playing on instinct.} Ba8 25. g4 $2 Qf4 $1 26. Be2 exd5 $2 {After 26... QxPch; 27.QxQ, NxQ; 28.PxP, N-B4 Black is better.} 27. Rd4 Qd6 28. g5 hxg5 29. Nxg5 Qe7 30. Bd3 Rfe8 31. Qh3 {Planning R-R4 for the final touch. An exciting game in which the clock was King!} dxc4 32. Rh4 Qe1+ 33. Rxe1 Rxe1+ 34. Bf1 Kf8 35. Rh8+ Ke7 36. Bxf6+ Nxf6 37. Rxc8 {#r} 1-0
