1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6
the start position (tematic tournament)

 
6. Nd5
an inusual move. 6...Nxe4?? 7.Nb5! 6...Nxd5 let white a good center

 
6... Bg7 7. Bb5+ Bd7 8. O-O O-O 9. Nxf6+
9. f3 it's no bad :P lose only a bishop with Nxd5 exd5 Bxd4 or Nxd5 Bxd7 Nxd7 exd5 Qb6

 
9... Bxf6 10. a4 a6
Bxb5 let Ra1 to work; b5 is a good block for black pieces

 
11. Bc4 Nc6 12. c3
with a change white gain a good center

 
12... Qb6
Qb6? black want pressure on white center but b6 is a big problem: b7 is blocked

 
13. Nxc6
without change is difficul see a way to play

 
13... Bxc6 14. Qe2 Rfd8
a wrong...now white can use b6! 14...Qc7 is better: let b5!

 
15. a5
i think now white can play only to win!!

 
15... Qc7 16. Be3 Qd7 17. Bb6 Rdf8 18. f4
now white have all his pieces (no Ra1) in good position, so he can star a kingside attack

 
18... e6 19. f5
i think the best move to open kingside rook

 
19... d5
the best defence, i think, but now black have to defend his centre...now Ra1-d1 is very dangerous, Bb6 control d8

 
20. exd5 Bxd5 21. Rad1 Qc6 22. Bxd5 exd5
isolated pawn

 
23. Qf3
Qf3! Now Rf8 is block to defend Bf6 after fxg6, Qf3 attack d5, how to defend all?

 
23... Bd8
unic...but f6 is now possible

 
24. Bf2
sacrifice pawn to do f6! why not Bd4 or Be3 ? 24.Bd4 i think is not good becouse d5 now is defended so 24...f6 and Rad8 with a5 attacked; with b4, c3 is a serius problem 24.Be3 Re8 and f6

 
24... Bxa5
perhaps f6 is better. 24...f6 25.fxg6 hxg6

 
25. f6 Rad8 26. Qf4 Rd6 27. Bd4 Bb6 28. Rde1
the only way! if black do Re8 white have lost a pawn

 
28... Bxd4+ 29. cxd4 Re6 30. Re5
with idea Rh5; with 30...Rxe5 31 dxe5 white win early with Qh6

 
30... h5
a wrong!! Rfd8 is better
