1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 e6 3.Bg2 Nc6
(oops..the c pawn should be left free to counteract White's centre) 4.0-0 Bc5 (I shouldn't have let my Bishop be chased back with gain of tempo for White) 5.d4 Bb6 6.c4 d6 7.Nc3 0-0 8.h3 Re8 9.e4 (White's centre is overwhelming and forces Black to retreat) a6 (Black is forced to make another retreat square for the Bishop. 9...e5 counteracts. When cramped play for exchanges) 10.Be3 Ba7 11.Re1 Rb8 12.Qc2 b5 Black tries to break out of the bind. Unfortunately the c6 Knight is now exposed to attacks from the White Q and B. Instead, e5?!) 13.cxb5 axb5 14.Rad1 (14...b4 keeps Black in the game) h6 15.e5 Nd7 (15....Nb4 16.Qe2 Nfd5+-) 16.a3 d5 (?) 17.Nxd5 (double oops...) Bb7 18.Nf4 Nb6 19.Nh5 Ne7 20.Bxh6 (White is beginning to focus on the Black Kingside) Nf5 (20...gx6 21.Nf6+ Kf8 22.Qh7 Ned5 23.Qxh6+ Ke7+-) 21.Bxg7 Nxg7 22.Nf6+ Kf8 23.Ng5 Nc8 (23...Nf5 stops the Queen penetration for a time but the result is inevitable now) 24.Qh7 Bxg2 25.Qg8+ 1-0
