1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 f4 0-0 6 Nf3 c5 7 d5 b5 8 cb5 a6 9 a4 e6 (9...ab5 10 Bb5 Ba6 11 Bd2! Bb5 12 ab5 Ra1 13 Qa1 Qb6 14 0-0 Nd7 15 Qe1! with a small advantage for White is also possible) 10 Be2 ab5 11 Bb5 ed5 12 ed5 (12 e5! is better.  White has the advantage after 12...de5 13 fe5 Ng4 14 Qd5 Qd5 15 Nd5) 12...Bd7 13 0-0 Na6 14 Bd7 Qd5 15 f5! Nc7 (Black gets into trouble after 15...Qf5?! 16 Nd4 and preparing to post either on b5 or c6, depending upon Black's choice of defense) 16 fg6 fg6 17 Ng5 Ng4 18 Bf4!? (White sacrifices the exchange in order to complete his development, and to go after Black's weak d-pawn.) 18...Bd4 19 Kh1 Nf2 20 Rf2 Bf2 21 Qd2 Bd4 22 h3 (Forced, as any other move allows 22...Qf5 with fatal threats due to White's problems on the back rank and the King's lack of a flight square.) 22...Rf5 23 Nge4 Bc3 (23...Nd5? 24 Nd5 Qf7 {24...Rd5 25 Nf6!! Bf6 26 Qd5 followed by 27 Qa8 +-} 25 Nd6 Qd5 26 Nf5 Qf5 27 Be3 +/-) 24 Nc3 Raf8 25 Ba6 Rf1 26 Rf1 Rf1 27 Kh2 Qf5 28 Qe3 Qe5?? (Black hands the advantage over to White.  Better is 28...Kf7! 29 Qg3 Ke7 30 Qe3 Kd7 =/+) 29 Qe5 de5 30 d6 Ne6 31 d7 Kf7 (Black is lost at this point.  31...Rf7 doesn't save Black as White then plays 32 Nd5! and the fork on f6 prevents the Rook from taking on d7.  If Black tries to threaten the pawn with 32...Kh8, then 33 Nb6! and Black has no way to stop the a-pawn without letting the d-pawn promote.) 32 Bg5! Rf2 33 Ne4 Rb2 34 Nc5!! (Black can safely resign here) 34...Nd8 35 Bd8 Rd2 36 Bg5 Rd7 37 Nd7 1-0 (Notes by McCartney)
