1.Nc3 d5 2.e4 e6 3.d4 Nc6
4.e5 b6 5.Nf3 Bb7 6.Ne2 Qd7 7.g3 Nge7 8.h4 f6 9.exf6 gxf6 10.Bh3 O-O-O
11.Nf4 Nf5 12.Bxf5 exf5
A strong doubled pawn; the
front one always threatens to wreck White's position with f4; the back one
controls e5.
13.O-O Bd6 14.Be3 Ne5
Based on general
considerations and on 15.dxe5 fxe5 16.Nxd5 f4 17.Bc1 fxg3.
15.Ng2 Ng6 16.Qd2 Rde8
17.h5 Ne5
Again.
18.dxe5
After Qd1 there follows Nc4
19.Bc1 Qf7 20.b3 and, for the third time, Ne5.
18...fxe5 19.Bg5
Otherwise, f4 with
devastation.
19...Rhg8 20.Bh4 f4 21.Kh2
Here, something very beautiful
loomed in my mind.
21...Qg4 22.Ng1 Ref8
23.Qd1 f3 24.Ne3
Fritz, that sissy, plays 24...Qxh5 (and wins) but of course
I played:
24...Qxh4+ 25.gxh4 e4+
Throws away the win that was probably there with d4.
26.Kh1
26.Kh3 Kb8
26...Rf4
27.Nf5
White should have used the desperados of his Knights in
reverse order: 27.Nxf3 exf3 28.Nf5 R4xf5 29.Rg1 and Black must hope for a
draw.
27...Rxf5 28.Ne2
Loses quickly. But after 28.Nh3 there follows 28...Rg2
29.Qd4 Rf8 30.Rfd1 Rh2+ 31.Kg1 Rg8+ 32.Ng5 Rxh4 33.Qf6 Kb8 and White loses
his Ng5 and is mated.
28...fxe2 29.Qxe2 Rf3
and White resigned.
