1. e4 e5 2. g3 d5 3. exd5 Qd8xd5 4. Qd1f3 Qd5d6 5. d3 h5 6. Nb1c3 Nb8c6 7. Bc1e3 Nc6d4 8. Be3xd4 exd4 9. Nc3e4 Qd6b4 10. Ne4d2 Ng8f6 11. O-O-O Qb4a4 12. Kc1b1 Bc8e6 13. b3 Qa4a6 14. Bf1g2 Nf6d5 15. Ng1e2 b5 16. c4 Nd5b6 {Well, this has been an unorthodox opening to say the least. So, no comment on the previous moves, however, 16. ... dxc3 was the move here, for if 17. Nxc3, then NxNc3+ forking the R on d1.} 17. Ne2xd4 Bf8b4 18. Nd4xe6 fxe6 19. Qf3c6 {Black's position is pretty dire here, with the K not safe, gaping holes in the pawn structure, Q out of play.} Ke8f7 20. Qc6xc7 Bb4e7 21. Bg2xa8 Nb6xa8 22. Qc7f4 Be7f6 23. Nd2e4 Na8b6 24. Ne4xf6 {Simplification works to Black's advantage here, as it reduces White's attacking chances. Better was Rh-e1, threatening both Nc5 and Ng5, and the e6-pawn is lost.} gxf6 25. Kb1b2 {A loss of tempo. White should activate his h-R.} bxc4 26. dxc4 e5 27. Qf4e4 Qa6a5 28. Rh1e1 Nb6a4 29. bxa4 Rh8b8 30. Kb2c1 {White's attack has stalled and Black now has counter-chances. Stockfish rates the position equal.} Qa5c3 31. Qe4c2 Qc3a3 32. Kc1d2 Rb8b2 33. Rd1c1 Qa3b4 {Black can afford to go pawn hunting here, as the a2-pawn is loose.} 34. Kd2d1 Rb2xc2 35. Rc1xc2 h4 36. c5 Qb4xa4 37. c6 Qa4d4 38. Kd1c1 Qd4a1 39. Kc1d2 Qa1d4 40. Kd2e2 Qd4d8 41. Ke2f1 {White misses a trick here: c6-c7 is the move. The Black Q must go to c8, and White continues Rd1, Rd8 etc.} Qd8d3 42. Re1e2 {Black resigned here. It might have continued thus: } h3 43. Ke1 Qd5 44. Re3 Qa5 45. Kd1 Qc7 46. Rb3 {Spite checks run out, and there is no stopping the c-pawn now.}
