1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4
The queens gambit accepted.

 
3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 Bg4
Not a common move, 4...e6 is the main move.

 
5. Bxc4 e6 6. h3 Bh5 7. Nc3 c6
A loss of time as black may not be able to play e6-e5 now.

12. a3 Bxc3
This third move of the bishop only makes white's centre stronger.

 
13. bxc3 b5 14. Bd3 Nb6 15. g4 Bg6 16. Bg5
With a simple idea, P-e5 winning a piece.

 
16... h6
This does not have to be played as it weakens the king side.

 
17. Bh4 Qc7 18. Ne5 Nbd7
P-a6 with the idea of c6-c5 or B-h7 are plans that need to be looked at.

 
19. Nxg6 fxg6 20. a4
Opening lines and giving black a weak queenside before attacking the king.

 
20... g5
A terrible move as it weakens the b1-h7 diagonal an puts the bishop on the lovely h2-b8 diagonal. P-a6 is a good move.

 
21. Bg3 Qa5
Black is now lost as he will get his queen kicked around and his king will get into danger.

 
22. axb5 Qxc3 23. Rac1 Qxd4 24. bxc6 Nb6 25. e5 Kh8 26. Bb1 Qb4 27. exf6 gxf6
Rxf6 may have prolonged the final outcome.

 
28. Bd6 Qb3 29. Bxf8 Rxf8 30. Qe4 f5 31. gxf5
If 31...Rxf5 32 Qd4 e5 33 Qd8 Kg7 34 Bxf5 or 31...exf5 32 Qe5 Kg8 33 Rd6 Qf7 34 Rxh6 Qg7 35 Ba2 Rf7 36 Qe8 Qf8 37 Bxf7 Kg7 38 Rg6 Kh7 39 Qxf8 g4 40 Qh6 mate So black wisely resigned.
