1. d4 b6 2. e4 Bb7 3. Bd3 h6 |
This opening is a very unusal one by Black. A Queen's pawn game (A40) English defence, but h6 is a new move. |

4. Nf3 Nf6 5. d5 e6 6. c4 exd5 7. exd5 Qe7+ 8. Be3 Ng4 9. Qe2 g5 |
? This move forces Queen exchange and the center is gone for Black. |

12. Bxh8 f6 13. h3 Ne5 14. Nxe5 fxe5 15. Bxe5 |
After the opening, Black lost a rook, and White has two powerful bishops on the a1-h8 and b1-h7 diagonal line. |

15... d6 16. Bc3 O-O-O 17. Bf5+ Kb8 18. Kf3 c6 19. Bf6 Re8 20. Nc3 cxd5 21. cxd5 Nb4 |
This move is decisive for the game. Black needs the knight for the rook Re8. Better is Nc7. White can break into the d and e file now more quickly. |

22. Rad1 Ba6 |
?? The second rook is captured. Be7 was urgently needed. |
| | |
|
23. Bd7 Rc8 24. Bxc8 Bxc8 25. Rhe1 |
The rook threatens for a rook fork at the bishops. But Bf8 can not move. |
