do you know any way for me to find a game that started with 1. d4 d5 2. Nb1c3 c5 3. Bc1f4 c4 4. e3 * ? I don't have chessbase, is there anything free online availible?

Chessbase have an online database that you can use for free on their website. Here's the link to it:-
http://www.chesslive.de/

It takes a few seconds to load the board, and I believe it uses Java applets. When the board is loaded, enter the moves to get the position you're interested in and click search. If any games are found with that position, they will be displayed in a window next to the board. Click on any of these games to play through it.

I hope that helps.

(Btw, I did a search of the position you gave, but didn't find any games)
