1.Nf3 {Notes by Raymond Keene} Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.b3 d5 4.Bb2 c5
5.e3 Nc6 {Inviting a kind of reversed Nimzo-Indian. The
easiest course is probably 5...dxc4 6.bxc4 Be7 and White's
central pawn majority is not yet dangerous. } 6.cxd5 Nxd5 {
6...exd5 7.Bb5 is even less comfortable, since an eventual
White d4 will saddle Black with an isolated d-pawn. [This is a
standard line of the Tarrasch Defense, by transposition after
d4 -- editor.] } 7.Bb5 Bd7 {Rightly avoiding the doubled
pawns.} 8.O-O Nf6 {A necessary loss of tempo, otherwise it is
hard to develop the dark square bishop.} 9.Nc3 Be7 10.Qe2 a6
11.Bd3 {! The bishop is retained for hostile action against
Black's king, the blocking of the d-pawn is an evil of purely
temporary duration.} O-O 12.Rac1 Rc8 13.Rfd1 Qc7 14.Bb1 b5
15.d4 cxd4 16.exd4 Qb7 17.d5 {The typical isolated d-pawn
advance. Normally, it will either lead to a general
liquidation and equality, or if White's pieces are well
placed, as here a crushing attack.} exd5 18.Nxd5 Nxd5 19.Rxd5
Be6 {In this position I wanted to unleash a beautiful
combination, but it was flawed, and there was a banal but
considerably more effective alternative, which I reluctantly
chose.} 20.Rh5 { 20.Bxh7+ ! ? Kxh7 21.Qe4+ and now ...Kh6
[21...Kg8 22.Rh5] [21...g6 22.Rh5+ Kg8 23.Rh8#] [21...f5
22.Qxe6 is the fly in the ointment. White's position is
crushing but it's not yet mate.] 22.Rh5+! Kxh5 23.Qh7+ Kg4
24.Rc4+!! bxc4 25.Bc1 and mate cannot be avoided.} g6 {
20...h6 21.Qe4 is also useless for Black. } 21.Bxg6 fxg6 {
21...hxg6 22.Rh8# } 22.Qxe6+ {Black resigned in light of
22...Rf7 23.Qxg6+ hxg6 24.Rh8# } 1-0
