This game lasts only 27 moves. My opponent is rated 200 pts below me. But still I present this game for the beautiful finish. Many thanks to my competitor for allowing it. Guess, I'll give reason soon enough for others to show off some tactical knock-out. | ||||||

1. e4 |
This game starts a Najdorf sicilian. | |||||

|
1... c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 |
As usual I play the Najdorf. So far I haven't refrained from the Najdorf and only adopted other openings in speed play. | |||||

6. Bg5 |
Bg5 - This promises a tough fight. He chooses the sharpest line. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... e6 7. Bc4 |
7. Bc4 combined with Bg5 is unknown to me, though I have encountered it in speed games, but never looked it up in libraries or saw it in pros games. | |||||

7... Be7 |
I decide to play the usual suspects. | |||||

8. Qf3 |
This leaves the d4 knight unprotected and prevents f4. I feel relieved. Business stuff severely reduces my thinking time these days. | |||||

8... Nc6 |
I know this is strange with a6 and no bishop or queen aside to take back on c6. So I have a battery of pawns on the 6th range "doing the same job". Still I opt for this to strengthen my center. | |||||

9. Nxc6 |
Of course my opponent goes for this scenario. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... bxc6 |
An additional benefit is the newly opened b-file. Of course ...a6 was wasting time now. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. O-O-O |
Still my rival is keen for double edged play. Now his rook is opposite my queen, attacking the d-pawn. But I feel one single center pawn is not enough. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Qb6 |
Some calculation assures the d-pawn is poisoned. So I can forcefully develope my queen. | |||||

11. Bxf6 |
It seems my opponent goes for the d-pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11... Bxf6 |
I leave the pawn en pris because taking it just helps me. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12. Rxd6 |
There is a direct line winning the exchange plus keeping the pressure towards the queenside. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12... Qc5 |
Forking rook and bishop. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13. Qd3 |
Naturally defending both. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13... Be7 |
Taking away the squares of the rook. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14. Rd4 |
Wrongly trying to keep the exchange. I guess, 14. Rhd1 was way better. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14... e5 |
There goes the rook! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15. Bxf7+ |
Instead of giving the rook white correctly gives the bishop and causes some stir. | |||||
