1. e4 e5 2. Ng1f3 Nb8c6 3. Nb1c3 Bf8b4 4. Bf1b5 {4. d4 or 4. Nd5 are more standard here. I prefer 4. Nd5 because it kicks the bishop.} Nc6d4 5. Nf3xe5 {A serious mistake.} Bb4xc3 {Black misses it! After 5…Qg5, Black is doing well.} 6. bxc3 {White had to try 6. Nxf7 to stem the bleeding. After 6…Kxf7 7. Bc4+ Ne6 8. dxc3, White has netted two pawns and an exposed Black king for the piece.} Nd4xb5 {Black is now strolling home with a piece in his pocket.} 7. Qd1f3 {White has the right idea–attacks on f7–but the wrong implementation. 7. Nxf7 Kxf7 8. Qh5+ picks up the knight, when things are less clear.} f6 {Too weakening. This lets White in.} 8. Qf3h5 Ke8e7 {Black had to try 8…g6. After 9. Qf7+, 9…Kd6 10. Nc4 Kc6 11. Qd6# is checkmate.} 9. Ne5g6 {No! Check all checks!} hxg6 10. Qh5xh8 {After some ups and downs, Black eventually triumphed.} Ng8h6 11. Qh8xg7 Nh6f7 12. Qg7xg6 d6 13. O-O Bc8e6 14. Bc1b2 Nf7e5 15. Qg6g7 Be6f7 16. c4 Qd8g8 17. Qg7xg8 Ra8xg8 18. cxb5 Ne5c4 19.

1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Ng8f6 3. Nb1c3 c6 4. dxc6 Nb8xc6 {This is, surprisingly, playable. Black doesn’t equalize, but he does get an OK game.} 5. Ng1f3 Bc8g4 {I like 5…e5 here, taking a stake in the center and forcing White to take the initiative.} 6. h3 Bg4h5 7. g4 {6. h3 and 7. g4 aren’t really waste moves here, but serve to unpin the knight.} Bh5g6 8. Bf1b5 Qd8b6 9. d4 a6 10. Bb5xc6 {Don’t trade by rote when you’re ahead material; In my view the bishop is stronger than the knight in this position, as it can put some slightly uncomfortable pressure on f7.} Qb6xc6 11. d5 Qc6c8 12. Bc1f4 e6 13. dxe6 Qc8xe6 14. Bf4e3 Bf8c5 {A simple and natural move. However, 14…Rd8 may be a little better, introducing another pin into the position, and the queen may then, after 15. Nd4, comfortably retreat to c8 without blocking the rook’s path to the center.} 15. Nf3d4 Bc5xd4 16. Qd1xd4 Ra8d8 17. Qd4a4 b5 18. Qa4a5 {18. Qb4, preventing Black from castling, is superior.} O-O 19. O-O Bg6xc2 20. Ra1c1 {20. Rfe1 is better, setting up a discovered attack.} Bc2e4 {Black misses a chance to stick the bishop into the White position with 20…Bd3.} 21. Nc3xe4 Nf6xe4 22. Rf1e1 Qe6h6 {Black blunders. The game is now White’s to bring home–and he does, quickly and efficiently.} 23. Be3xh6 gxh6 24. Re1xe4 Rd8d6 25. Rc1c5 Rd6d1 26. Re4e1 Rd1xe1 27. Qa5xe1 Rf8b8 28.
