1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Be3 O-O 6. Qd2 b6!? 7. Bh6 Bb7 8. Bxg7?! 8. Bd3 Nbd7 9. h4! 8... Kxg7 9. Bd3 Nbd7 10. O-O-O e5 11. dxe5 Nxe5 12. Nxe5 dxe5 13. Qe3 Ng4?! The start of a very dubious plan. 14. Qg3 Qg5+ 15. Rd2 Qf4 16. f3 Qxg3 17. hxg3 Nf6 18. Bc4 Rfd8 19. Rhd1 Rxd2 20. Rxd2 a6 21. g4 h6 This ending is slightly better for white due to black's weak h6 pawn and his difficulty in contesting the d file. 22. b4 Kf8 23. Nd5 Nxd5 23... Bxd5 24. Bxd5 Rd8 25. Bb7! This was the idea behind the subtle 22 b4, as Black's queenside pawns now become very weak and are liable to drop off. 25... Rxd2 26. Kxd2 a5 27. bxa5 bxa5 28. Kc3 24. Bxd5 c6?? 24... Bxd5 25. Rxd5 Re8 With reasonable drawing chances for black. 25. Bxf7 1-0 [Kevin Denny]
