Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. d4 exd4 5. Nxd4 Bb4 6. Nxc6 bxc6 7. g3? Qe7 { A good move, which counters White plan (Bg2 and 0-0) by attacking along the e-file. If White were now to play 8.e3, such an attack would admittedly not follow, but he would still be weakening his position. } 8. Bg2 Ba6 9. Qd3 d5 10. b3 d4! { An interesting move; Black abandons his attack on the e-file for the time being, transferring his pressure to the weakened diagonal a5-e1. If white now takes the c6 pawn and then the a8 rook, black can win a piece by Bxc3 and Bxa1. } { [%csl Rc3][%cal Re7e2,Ra6e2,Rb4c3,Rd4c3] } 11. Qxd4 (11. Bxc6+ Kf8 12. Bxa8 Bxc3+ 13. Bd2 Bxa1) 11... Rd8 12. Bxc6+ Kf8 13. Bd5 Rxd5 { 0-1 White resigns since 14.cxd5 is followed by 14...Qxe2#. Play returns to the e-file at the final point of victory. } *
