1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bc4 h6 5. h3 |
Perhaps a better pawn move would be a3 rather than h3. The real jeopardy is on the queen side of the board. a3 protects against pinning queen's knight to king later. |

5... b6 6. b3 g6 7. Bb2 |
Good fianchetto - moving bishop toward the outside of the board. |
| | |
|
7... Qe7 8. Nd5 Qd6 9. d4 |
A possible better choice would be 9.Nxf6 Qxf6 10. Bd5 Bb7 11. Bxc6 Bxc6 12. Bxe5. Then Queen moves to give up the h8 rook. |

9... Bb7 10. dxe5 Qb4+ 11. c3 Qc5 12. exf6 O-O-O 13. Qd3 Na5 14. e5 Nxc4 15. bxc4 Ba6 16. O-O |
Castling could have been weak here because of lining up the queen and rook. Black exploits it. |
| | |
|
16... Bxc4 17. Ba3 Qxd5 18. Qxd5 Bxd5 19. Bxf8 Rhxf8 20. Nh4 a6 21. Rfd1 Bc4 22. Rd4 Be6 23. a3 d6 24. exd6 Rxd6 25. Rad1 g5 26. Nf3 Rfd8 27. Rd4xd6 |
Possibly a better move would have been Ne5 for better position. It gets the knight involved in the attack. |
| | |
|
27... Rxd6 28. Rxd6 cxd6 29. Nd4 Kd7 30. Kf1 Ba2 31. Ke2 b5 32. Kd3 Bc4+ 33. Kc2 Bf1 34. g3 Bxh3 35. Kb3 Bf1 36. Nc2 |
A better move would be Kb4. The knight was protecting the pawn on f6. |
| | |
|
36... h5 37. Ne3 Be2 38. Ng2 Bf3 39. Ne1 g4 40. Nd3 Ke6 41. Nf4+ Kxf6 42. Nxh5+ Kg5 43. Ng7 Bc6 44. a4 |
c4 would have been better than a4 because it allow capture of the pawn. |

44... bxa4+ 45. Kb4 f5 46. Ne6+ Kf6 47. Nd4 Bd7 48. Nc2 Ke5 49. Ka5 Ke4 50. Kxa6 Kf3 51. Nd4+ Kxf2 52. Ka5 Kxg3 53. Ne2+ Kf2 54. Nf4 g3 55. Nh3+ Kg2 56. Ng5 a3 57. Kb4 a2 |
