1. e4
Despite the fact that I'm not Capablanka yet ...(ooops... :-)...but I could admire in this great master just only for his priority to play e2 - e4...

 
1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6
Four Knight Game.What's next - Bc4, d4,Be2 or Bb5? Come on!

 
4. Nxe5
One year ago I've played a blitz game against Dutchman and after his 4.Nxe5 I thought he was joking and in 5 minutes ... I was beaten unmercifully.That guy explained me that he was playing the Halloween Attack in Four Knight Game.And made an advice - if you want to reach a - position after few moves against a strong player then play the Halloween attack. And I did that a lot of times.And sometimes it works, especially playing fast games...

 
4... Nxe5
My opponent accepts that. It's ok.

 
5. d4
As usual.

 
5... Ng6
I do not know which one is better - Ng6 or Nc6.We're taking into consideration that my opponent accepted this attack, otherwise there are a few other good moves.Let's see.

 
6. e5
Back to the roots line?

 
6... Ng8
That's fine.Though me prefer if opponent plays Qe7.Next pls..

 
7. Bc4
Maybe much better than Qf3 (I'm afraid Nh4)

 
7... d5
Now the essential moves. 7. ...d5? Quite good, I think.But there are a few much better...;-)

 
8. Bxd5
If Nxd5, 8. ... Be6

 
8... c6 9. Bb3 Be6
Maybe the best.

 
10. Be3 Bb4 11. O-O
Bxe6 was very attractive

 
11... Bxc3 12. bxc3
I'm feeling very comfortably.

 
12... Ng8e7 13. Bg5 h6
I waited 0-0 or Qd7.

 
14. Bxe7 Nxe7 15. Bxe6 fxe6
I like black e pawn now.

 
16. Qh5+
Trying to keep "under pressure"

 
16... g6 17. Qg4 Qd7 18. c4 O-O 19. Rab1 Rf5
I don't like my f line..

 
20. a3 Raf8
I was waiting this one, or c5.Both are quite unaffable...

 
21. c3 Rg5 22. Qe4 Kg7 23. f4
