1.d4Nf62.Nc3d53.Bf4e63...c5!4.e3(4.Nb5Qa5+-+)cxd45.exd4Bg4!?looks good for Black.4.Nb5Na65.a3c66.Nc3Bd67.e3O-O8.Nf3Nb89.Bd3b610.Ne5c5?!10...Qc7and 11. ... Nbd7 keeps things fairly level. White's center is solid, so this "break" doesn't have the impact Black is hoping for. In the meantime he is still behind in development!11.g4c4?12.g5cxd313.gxf6dxc2?+−13...Qxf6±is simple enough.14.Qxc2...14.Qh5Qxf615.Ng4Qf516.Nh6+!gxh617.Qxf5exf518.Bxd6and here both the f8-rook and the d5-pawn are hanging, and there are still threats in the air. For example, if Black triesRd8??he loses instantly:19.Rg1+Kh820.Be5+f621.Bxf6#14....Qxf615.Rg1g6?!15...Qd816.Nb5Bxe517.dxe5Qh418.Bg5Qh519.Be7and Black is so far behind in development that his best bet here is to lose the exchange and develop another piece withNd7±16.Nb5Qe7?Necessary is16...Bxe517.Bxe5Qf3when White still wins the Exchange with18.Nc7+−17.Nxd6Qxd618.Nxg6Qc6?I have nothing better to offer, but the text leads to mate in four moves.19.Ne7+1-0 White wins.1-0
