Move
   

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. h3 Be7 7. O-O O-O 8. c3 c5 9. Bc2 Nc6 10. d4 Be6 11. Re1+/= Qc8?    Better was 11...d5 12.Bg5 Qb6. 12. Bg5 Nd5?! 13. Na3!+/-
   This developing move highlights the fact that Black's pieces are poorly co-ordinated. h6 14. Qd3   Here 14.c4!? was also worth considering. Bf5    14...f5 loses after 15.Bd2 Bf6 16.Rxe6 Qxe6 17.Re1 Qf7 18.Qxf5.
15. Qxf5 Qxf5 16. Bxf5 Bxg5 17. Be4 Nc7?!
   Better would be 17...Nb6 18.Nxg5 hxg5 19. Nb5 cxd4 20.Nxd6 dxc3 21.bxc3 Rab8 22.Rad1 .
18. Bxc6 bxc6 19. dxc5 dxc5 20. Ne5+- Rfd8 21. Nac4 Rd5 22. Nxc6 Kf8 23. a4 h5 24. a5 Nb5 25. Nb6?!    The line 25.Rad1 Rxd1 26.Rxd1 Rc8 27.N6e5 Ke8 28.Rd7 Be7 29.Rb7+- was easier.
axb6 26. axb6 Rxa1 27. Rxa1 Nd6 28. h4! Ke8 29. hxg5 Kd7 30. Na5 Kc8 31. c4 Rxg5 32. Rd1 Rg6 33. Rd5 Nb7 34. Nxb7 Kxb7 35. Rxc5+- Rxb6 36. Rxh5 Rxb2 37. Rh7 Kc6 38. Rxg7 Rb7 39. Rg5 Kd6 40. Rd5+ Ke6 41. Rd1 Rb2 42. Rc1 Kd6 43. c5+ Kc6 44. g3 Rb3 45. Kg2 f5 46. Rc4 Rd3 47. Kh3 Rd2 48. Rf4 Rd5 49. Kh4 1-0
