1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cd 4 Nd4 g6 5 Be2 Nf6 6 Nc3 Bg7 7 Be3 e5? (Rendering backward the "d" pawn and blocking the long diagonal; generally not recommended in this system) 8 Nf3 (Better is 8 Nb3 with the idea of 0-0 and f4) 8...Ng4? (Moving the same piece twice in the opening is a violation of opening principles; White can keep the Bishop with either Bg5 or Bd2 if he wishes) 9 Qd2 Ne3 10 Qe3 0-0 11 h4 Qa5 12 0-0-0 Rd 13 Ng5 Bh6 14 Kb1 f6 15 Qg3? (Correct is 15 Bc4! Kg7 16 Rd5 Qc7 whereby after ...fg 17 hg wins the piece back) 15...fg 16 hg Bg7 17 Nd5 Be6 18 Bc4 Na6 (18...Re8 fails to 19 Nf6! Bf6 {If 19 ...Kf7 20 Ne8 Bc4 21 Nd6=/-} 20 Qh3!! +-Bc4 21 Qh7 Kf8 22 gf! 1-0) 19 Ne7 Kf8 20 Be6 Ke7 21 Qg4 Nb4? (21...Nc5! is necessary and seems to hold momentarily; the rest speaks for itself!) 22 Rh7 Kf8 23 Qf3 Ke7 24 Qf7# (I've seen games of players rated a thousand points higher than Mr. Norwood that weren't as good!)
