1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 d4 3.b4 Bg4 4.g3 {More common is 4. Qb3} f6 { Technically a new move - though the idea to play ...e5 is well-known.} 5.Bg2 e5 6.O-O Nd7 7.Qb3 a5 8.e3 {White decides to give the b-pawn to open files and exploit the fact that Black is behind in development and that the black king is still in the middle of the board.} dxe3 9.fxe3 axb4 10.d4 Be6 11.Bb2 Nh6 12.dxe5 fxe5 13.Nbd2 {Instead of winning back the sacrificed pawn White decides to increase the pressure and develops another piece. After 13. Nxe5 Nxe5 14. Bxe5 Ng4 15. Bd4 c5 16. Bb2 the position remains dynamic and is roughly equal.} Nf7 14.Nd4 {An inspired piece sacrifice. White opens the e-file to attack Black's king.} exd4 15.exd4 Nde5 {Black is ready to give material back. Being greedy does not pay off: After 15... Be7 16. Rae1 Ra6 17. d5 Bg4 18. Bxg7 Rg8 19. Bd4 the black king remains stuck in the center and White has ample compensation for his piece.} 16.Rae1 {White does not want to take the offered knight but insists to continue with his attack. However, he is in for a surprise:} Bc5 {A brilliant idea. Black develops the bishop - even though he sacrifices it - and suddenly has threats of his own.} 17.Qe3 {A very human reaction. But not the best. The computer prefers 17. Bd5 and likes White's position, e.g. Bxd5} Rxa2 18.dxc5 {18. Bxe6 Bxd4+} Rxb2 19.Rxf7 {Perhaps White relied on this move when calculating the complications a few moves earlier. Now, if Black had to take the rook things would be fine for White. But Black has other options.} Qxd2 {With a winning position for Black.} 20.Qxd2 Rxd2 21.Rf4 Nd3 22.Rxe6+ Kd7 {White loses material, e.g. 22... Kd7 23. Rfe4 Rd1+ 24. Bf1 b3 A great game of attack and counterattack } {#R}
