1 Nf3 Nc6 2 d4 d5 3 c4 Bg4 4 cd5 Bf3 5 dc6 Bc6 6 Nc3 e6 (More common is 6...Nf6) 7 e4 Bb4 8 f3 Qh4 9 g3 Qh5 10 Be3 0-0-0 11 a3 Bc3 12 bc3 Ne7 13 Bc4 Kb8 14 0-0 Rhe8 15 Qb3 Nc8 16 Rab1 Nb6 17 Bf4 Nc4 (This move is not to be recommended here as the knight can be a key defender.  17...Qa5, 17...g5, and 17...Ba4 all lead to equality) 18 Qc4 Rd7?? (The only move for Black is 18...Ka8, when 19 Qb4 Rd7 20 Be3 b6 21 Qc4 Bb7 22 Qa4 Rdd8 23 c4 f5 24 c5 fe4 25 cb6 cb6 26 Rb6 leads to an advantage for White) 19 Qc6  1-0

1 Nf3 d6 2 d4 Nf6 3 c4 g6 4 Nc3 Bg7 5 e4 0-0 6 Be2 e5 7 0-0 Nc6 8 d5 Ne7 9 b4 Nh5 10 Re1 f5 11 Ng5 Nf6 12 Bf3 a5 13 ba5 Ra5 14 a4 b6 15 Qb3 (15 Bd2 is probably better) 15...fe4 (This move prevents White's intended plan of 16 Ne6) 16 Nce4 Nf5 17 Be2 Ne3 18 Qe3 Ne4 (18...Bh6 would probably give Black a small advantage. Now the position is equal.) 19 Ne4 Bf5 (Black must eliminate the White knight) 20 Ra2 Be4 21 Be4 Qh4 22 g3 Qh5 23 f3 (Normally, OCB's are adventageous for the one that is on the attack but with a rook stuck on a5 blocking my pawn combined with there being no open files and White's pawns not being on the same color squares as Black's bishop, all White must prevent is the Black Queen from coming in via the c1-h6 diagonal, which shouldn't be hard for White at all.) 23...Bh6 24 Qd3 Bg5 25 Rb1 Qh6 26 Rb5 Be3 27 Kg2 Rfa8 28 Ra5 Ra5 29 Qe2 (Heading for e1 and keeping the Queen out since the bishop will never be able to cover both e1 and c3 at the same time with White's rook on the 2nd rank.) 29...Bc5 30 Qe1 Qg5 1/2-1/2
