1.e4 {Notes by C. Von Bardeleben} e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4
4.Nxd4 Bc5 5.Be3 Qf6 6.c3 Nge7 7.Bb5 O-O 8.O-O Bxd4 9.cxd4 d5
10.f3 {! Much better than e5.} Nd8 {This and the following
move give the second player a cramped game; Be6 would be
better.} 11.Nc3 Qb6 12.Qd2 c6 13.Ba4 Ne6 {Black has no other
square for the knight, but the latter now prevents the bishop
being developed.} 14.Bb3 Qd8 15.Rae1 Kh8 16.exd5 {White had an
excellent game, but his last move gives up all his
advantage. If White had played 16 Bc2 to be followed by 17 e5
he would have had a superior game.} Nxd5 17.Nxd5 cxd5 18.f4 f5
19.Bf2 Qd6 20.Re5 Nc7 21.Rc1 Bd7 22.Qc3 Rac8 23.Qg3 Bc6 24.Qh3
Bd7 25.Rce1 Be6 26.Qh5 Qd7 27.R1e3 Rf6 28.Qe2 h6 29.Bd1 Re8
30.Bh4 Rff8 31.Qe1 Bf7 32.Re7 Rxe7 33.Rxe7 Qc6 {White agrees
very early to a draw, and my opinion is that he still has a
somewhat better chance, The game might proceed with 34 Qc3
Qxc3 35 bxc3 Nb5 36 Be1 Re8 37 Rxe8+ Bxe8 38 Kf2, and the
ending is a little in favour of White.} 1/2-1/2
