1. d4 { Notes by Rogers from the tournament book. } d5 2. c4
e6 3. Nc3 c5 4. e3 {Keene is an expert theoretician but the
Hennig-Schara gambit is not his forte and he saw fit to avoid
4 cxd5 cxd4!?} 4...Nf6 5. Nf3 Nc6 6. cxd5 Nxd5 7. Bd3 cxd4
8. exd4 Be7 9. O-O O-O 10. Re1 Nf6 {After 10...b6 11 Be4 is
strong.} 11. a3 b6 12. Ne5 {!? A fairly new move, and until
now considered a strong one. The more traditional 12 Bc2 Bb7
13 Qd3 does not offer White anything after 13...g6!} 12...Bb7
{12...Nxd4 would be foolhardy in the extreme. White gets a
crushing position after 13 Be3 Nf5 (forced) 14 Bxf5 exf5 15
Qf3 Bd7 16 Red1!} 13. Ba6 {!} Qc8 {Black must avoid 13...Bxa6
14 Nxc6 Qc7 15 Nxe7+ Qxe7 16 Bg5! Bb7 17 d5! +/-.} 14. Bxb7
Qxb7 15. Nxc6 Qxc6 16. d5 {!} Qc4 {! Since Black's pawn
structure is about to be destroyed he decides to go for the
throat and attack the somewhat underprotected white king.}
17. Qe2 Qh4 18. dxe6 Bc5 19. h3 {The only good defence: it is
imperative for White to prevent ...Ng4.} 19...Rae8 20. exf7+
Rxf7 21. Be3 {Again forced: 21 Qf1? loses immediately to
21...Qxf2+.} 21...Bxe3 22. fxe3 Rfe7 {The obvious move, but it
meets with a fantastic reply. 22...Ne4 23 Nxe4 Qxe4 would have
given a position dismissed by Keene as 'drawn'. Personally I
would favour the GM's chances of grinding out a win.} 23. e4
{!! The most subtle single move in the
tournament. Psychologically the move is a (grand)master
stroke. Black had calculated that he was winning back the
e-pawn in all lines and reasoned that White had decided to
acquiesce to the inevitable and would soon agree to a
draw. Black's 11 minute tactical check failed to reveal the
point of Keene's combination, so} 23...Nxe4 {? 23...h6 was
more circumspect. Now Black was rocked by} 24. Qc4+ Kh8
25. Re2 {!! and the game is all but over. Black has absolutely
no defence to White's simple threat of 26 Rae1. Since 25...b5
loses both queenside pawns for no compensation Black, after
half an hour's thought, decides to give up his queen.}
25...Nxc3 26. Qxh4 Nxe2+ 27. Kh2 {Black's last hope was 27 Kh1
Re4 28 Qf2 Rf4 with domination of the queen and a resulting
draw.} 27...Re4 28. Qh5 R4e5 29. Qf7 R5e7 30. Qf2 Re6 31. Rd1
h6 32. Qf7 R6e7 33. Qf3 Kg8 34. Qd5+ Kh8 35. Rf1 Re3 36. Rf3
{!} Rxf3 37. Qxf3 Kg8 38. Qb7 Re6 39. Qd7 Nf4 40. Qxa7 Kh7
41. Qc7 Rf6 42. a4 h5 43. h4 Ng6 44. Kg3 Nh8 {and resigns.}
