 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nf3 d6 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. Be2 O-O 6. O-O c6 7. a4 Nbd7 8. h3 e5
 9. dxe5 dxe5 10. Bc4 Qe7 11. a5 Nc5 12. Qe2 Nh5 $6 {It looks odd to move the Knight to the margin. 12...Ne6 is more natural.}
 13. Bg5 Bf6 14. Be3 {This retreat suggests that Bg5 was incorrect. The alternative is 14. Bxf6 Qxf6 15. Qe3 with pressure.}
 14... Rb8 15. b4 Nd7 16. Rab1 b5 17. Ba2 a6 18. Rfd1 Rd8 19. Qd2 Nf4 20. Qd6 Qxd6 21. Rxd6 Be7
 22. Rd2 Nh5 $6 {22...Rb7 is better.}
 23. Ng5 $6 {Missing an opportunity. 23. Rbd1! makes things very difficult for Black. If 23...Bxb4 then 24. Nxe5 Bxc3 25. Nxf7}
 23... Rf8 24. Ne2 Kg7 25. c3 h6 26. Nf3 Re8 27. Rbd1 Nhf6 28. Ng3 Rb7 29. Nh4 Rc7 30. Nhf5+ $5 gxf5
 31. Nxf5+ Kg6 32. Nxh6 Rf8 33. Nf5 Nb8 $4 {33...Re8 or Ng8 were required}
 34. Nxe7+ Rxe7 35. Bc5 Ree8 36. Bxf8 Rxf8 37. Rd8 Nbd7 38. Rxf8 Nxf8 39. Rd8 Be6 40. Rxf8 Bxa2 41. f3 {Black is powerless to stop the White rook clearing the path for the a pawn to Queen.}
