  HeMateMe: White seemed to have gotten beat, right out of the opening. After the series of moves involving Queen swaps, surely white is accepting a poor middlegame?
Aug-11-13  Kangaroo: Position after <10... Nc5> is well known in the theory, alas it typically appeared after <6... Nbd7> instead of <6... Na6>.

The tactical trick that started with <11. f3 Nfxe4!> can be prevented by <11. Qf4> as is known for nearly 40 years since Polugaevsky vs Geller, 1970

Strange that Simen Agdestein did not know the old trick!
