1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 f3 0-0 6 Be3 Nbd 7 Qd2 e5 8 d5 Qe7 (The immediate 8...Ne8 would be more in keeping with the theme of the opening) 9 g4 Ne8 10 Bd3 Nc5 11 Bc2 b6 (Here, Black would do best to play 11...f5 yielding a standard KI position) 12 Nge a5 13 Ng3 Bd7 14 h4 f6 15 0-0-0 a4 16 Rdg a3 17 b3 Na6 18 h5 g5 (On the surface, this appears to protect the Black King from intrusion, however, sometimes keeping intruders out, may imprison those within) 19 h6! Bh8 20 Nf5 Bf5 21 gf Rf7 22 Rh5 Kf8 23 Qg2 Qd7 (White strongly considered the sacrifice on g5, but only if it would lead to mate!  After Black's 23...Qd7, the King has luft and the sac could only serve to bring Black's King side pieces back to life) 24 Ne2 (Considering f4!?) Nb4 25 Kb b5 26 c5! Ke7 (Here, Black should have played 26...Nc2 27 Kc2 dc 28 Bc5 Nd6 freeing at least one horse from it's stable)  27 c6 Qc8 (Now that the White "tiles" have surrounded Black's entire King side, the attack naturally switches to the Queen's wing) 28 Nc3 Qa6 29 Bd1 Rb 30 Be2 Qa5 31 Rc Na6 32 Ba7! Ra8 33 Nb5 Qd2 34 Bf1 (Black's "a" pawn will soon perish).   1-0
