1.e4 Nf6 {No French... I didn't want to face J.B.'s preparation! He told me after the game that he didn't expect the Alekhine. (P.C.)} 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.c4 Nb6 5.exd6 cxd6 6.Bd3 g6 7.Ne2 Bg7 8.O-O Nc6 9.c5?! {The whole point of the Alekhine is to draw White's pawns forward, then attack them. Development first would have been prudent. (P.C.)} dxc5 10.dxc5 Nd7 11.Bb5 Nxc5 12.Qc2 Qb6 13.Nbc3 Bf5 14.Qd2 O-O 15.Bxc6 Qxc6 16.Nd4 Qd7 17.Nxf5 Qxf5 18.Qd5?! {I think White should keep the Queens on the board...(P.C.)} Qxd5 19.Nxd5 e6 20.Ne3? {The Knight should go back to c3. Black won't exchange the powerful Bishop. (P.C.)} Rfd8 21.Rb1 Rac8 22.b3 Ne4! 23.Ba3? {It's hard to know what White should do...if 23.f3 Nc3 and White has to play the awkward 24.Rb2... or lose the exchange. 24.Ra1 Ne2+ even loses a rook! (P.C.)} Nd2 24.Nc4 Nxb1 25.Rxb1 b5 26.Nd6 Rc2 27.Nxb5 a6! 28.Nd6 Rxa2 29.Bc5 Ra1 {#R}
