Nf3 f5!? { The Adelaide Counter Gambit. Unfortunately I don't know anything about it! But I decided to play it anyway to throw both players on their own resources } 4. exf5 d6? { Going wrong already } (4... e4! { is the right move }) 5. Bc4? { Returning the favour } 5... Bxf5 $10 6. O-O? e4 $17 { Finally, Black is already much better } 7. Re1 Nf6? (7... Be7! { is very strong. I decided to get better developed before pushing the nuclear button, but I must admit I forgot this gives White the h4 square for his knight. Fortunately Black's better development still comes through }) 8. Nc3? $17 Be7 9. Nh4 Bg4 10. Be2 Bxe2 11. Qxe2 O-O 12. Nf5 d5 13. Nxe7+ Qxe7 14. Qb5? { White's position cannot tolerate this adventure } 14... a6! $19 15. Qb3 Qc5+ 16. Kh1 Nd4 17. Qa4 b5 18. Qa5 Nxc2 { Game over really. White plays on in the hope of a miracle. Justifiable given his perennially nervous opponent. } 19. b4 Qf2 20. Rg1 Nxa1 21. Qxc7 Nc2 22. Nd1 Ng4! (22... Rac8 23. Qxc8 Qxg1+ { That's what a chess tiger would do, but I wanted a flashy end for some reason }) 23. Bb2 { If I had noticed this tricky reply I might have gone for the simpler line } (23. Qxc2 Qh4 24. h3 Qg3 25. hxg4 Qh4# { It never quite happens, but it was close enough }) 23... Nd4 24. f5 Rac8 25. Qe7 Qf4 26. g3 (26. Qh4 Nxf5 27. Qh3 { is also very sad, but at least it's not immediate mate }) 26... Qf3+ 27. Rg2 Qxd1+ 28. Rg1 Nf2+ 29. Kg2 Qf3+ 30. Kf1 Nd3# 0-1
