| | |
|
3. Bc4 g6 4. Nc3 Bg7 5. d3 Bg4 6. h3 Bxf3 7. Qxf3 Nf6 8. Bg5 |

| | |
|
8... c6 |
8...c6 to prevent the combination of white's knight from sitting on d5 threating to win a piece. |
| | |
|
9. b4 |
So 9.b4 to undermine the c6 pawn |
| | |
|
9... a6 |
logically to prevent 10.b5 |
| | |
|
10. a4 |
so 10.a4 to nullify the a6 support pawn |
| | |
|
10... b5 |
10.b5? loses a pawn due to the pin of a6 to the rook. |
| | |
|
11. axb5 cxb5 12. Bxb5+ |
12. Bxb5 ! |
| | |
|
12... Kf8 13. Nd5 |
And now, 5 moves later, the white knight is free to sit on it's advanced support square poised for attack upon the pinned knight on f6. |
| | |
|
13... h6 14. Bxf6 Bxf6 15. Qxf6 |
Threating 16. Qxh8 forcing a Queen exchange further bolstering white's material advantage. |
| | |
|
15... Qxf6 16. Nxf6 Kg7 17. Ne8+ Kf8 18. Nc7 |
Declining the free pawn in attempt to further trade off the opponents pieces and black resigns. |
