    Gengistger White, Moonbus Black, notes by Moonbus
    • 1... c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nb1c3 dxe4 4. Nc3xe4 Nb8d7 5. Bf1c4 Ng8f6 6. Ne4g5 e6 7. Qd1e2 Nd7b6 8. Bc4d3 h6 9. Ng5e4 Nf6xe4 10. Qe2xe4 Qd8d5 11. Ng1f3 c5 12. c3 c4 13. Bd3c2 Qd5xe4 14. Bc2xe4 f5
      This is a serious positional error: it weakens the Black KP. I played it for tactical reasons, thinking I could keep the White B locked in long enough to get some counter play somehwere else on the baord.
      • 15. Be4c2 Bf8d6 16. b3 Bc8d7 17. Nf3e5 Bd6xe5 18. dxe5
        This advanced KP will prove to be a critical outpost for White's pieces: Black has lost control over his own Q3. This shows up the weakness of Black's advanced KBP: he would have needed the KBP to challenge the advanced White KP, but now he cannot.
        • 18... Ra8c8 19. Bc1d2 O-O
          A second bad mistake. The Black K belongs on KB2 to try to hold the weakened KP. He will waste a tempo getting there later.
          • 20. O-O-O Bd7c6 21. f3 Bc6d5 22. Kc1b2 cxb3 23. axb3 Rf8d8
            At this point I imagined that I could get some sort of attack going against White's K position with rooks on two open files.
            • 24. Rh1g1 Nb6d7 25. c4 Bd5c6 26. Bd2c3 b5
              A third bad mistake; nothing will come of this pseudo-attack. White will soon proceed with his own attack instead.
              • 27. Rd1d6
                Ouch! There is no dislodging this rook, which paralyzes Black's position. Black will be defending a cramped position from now on.
                • 27... Nd7f8
                  Black immediately switches to defensive mode, trying to shore up the critically weak KP.
                  • 28. Rg1d1 Rd8d7 29. c5
                    Ouch again. This shows up the error of Black' s 26th move (advancing the QNP): now White has a connected passer.
                    • 29... Rd7e7 30. b4 Kg8f7
                      Over-protecting the weakened KP. Loss of tempo, see earlier note to Black's 0-0.
