1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Nxf6+ exf6 6.Nf3 g6?! I'm not sure about this, with the pawn on f6.

7.Be3 Bg7 8.c3 0-0 9.Bd3 Re8 10.0-0 Bg4 11.h3 Be6 12.Qc2 Nd7 13.Rad1 Rc8 14.b4 Nb6 15.a4?!
[15.c4+- ]

15...Bc4 16.a5 Bxd3 17.Rxd3 Nc4 18.Nd2 Nxe3 19.fxe3?! Rc7?
[19...f5 Restricts whites play in the centre, and brings the bishop in the game.]

20.e4 Rce7 21.d5 Rd7 22.c4 Bh6 23.Kh1 Bg7 24.Nb3 b6 25.axb6 axb6 26.Rdf3 cxd5 27.exd5 Rde7 28.Nd4 Qd6 29.Nc6 Re2 30.Qd3 f5 31.c5!
What a superb try!

31...Qc7?
[31...bxc5 32.bxc5 Qxc5 33.d6 Qxc6 34.d7 R2e4 35.dxe8Q+ Rxe8 ]

32.Nd4 R2e4 33.Nb5 Qd8 34.d6 Rxb4 35.c6 Re6??
Black cracks under the pressure. [35...Rxb5 36.Qxb5 Qxd6 37.Rd3 Qc7 38.Rd7 ...prolongs the agony.]

36.c7 Qd7 37.Na7 Rxd6 38.c8Q+ Qxc8 39.Qxd6 Qc4 40.Nc6 Bf8 41.Ne7+ Bxe7 42.Qxe7 Rb5 43.Rd1 Rd5 44.Rxd5 Qxd5 45.Re3 Qd1+ 46.Kh2 Kg7 47.Qe5+ 1-0
