1.d4 {Notes by Eric Schiller.} Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 c5 4.dxc5 Bxc5
5.Nf3 O-O 6.Bg2 Nc6 7.O-O d5 8.Bg5 { 8.cxd5 is the usual
move. } dxc4 { 8...Be7 9.cxd5 exd5 10.Qb3 Na5 11.Qd3 h6 12.Be3
Nc4 13.Bd4 Be6 14.Nbd2 Nd6 was seen in Jesus Angel Lobo
vs. Llames Prado Raimundo, Asturias [Spain] 1996 8...h6 9.cxd5
exd5 10.Bxf6 Qxf6 11.Nc3 [ 11.Qxd5 ? Qxb2 ! ] d4 12.Ne4 was
agreed drawn in Miladinovic vs.Pegorari, 2000. } 9.Qc2 h6
10.Rd1 {! ? 10.Qxc4 Bxf2+ ! 11.Rxf2 hxg5 didn't appeal to
me. } Qb6 11.Bxf6 Bxf2+ 12.Kh1 gxf6 13.Nbd2 {I'm two pawns
down, but my king is safer and I have the initiative.} Nd4 {?
Black wants to trade pieces. Bad idea. 13...Rd8 14.Ne4 Rxd1+
15.Rxd1 f5 16.Nf6+ Kg7 17.Qc3 ! 13...Nb4 14.Qxc4 Nd5 was a
reasonable defensive strategy. } 14.Nxd4 Qxd4 15.Ne4 Qb6 {
15...Qe5 16.Nxf2 } 16.Nxf6+ Kg7 17.Qc3 {! The weakness of
Black's king is exposed, and soon his fate will be sealed.} e5
18.Nh5+ {!} Kh8 19.Qxe5+ f6 20.Qe7 Rg8 21.Nxf6 Bf5 22.Nxg8 {?
In time pressure, I just vacuumed pieces, not bothering to
look for a checkmate. 22.Rd7 ! was a more efficient and more
elegant win. } Rxg8 23.Qe5+ {Black resigned.} 1-0
