Nf3 {seems preferable}) 2... d6 3. Nc3 Nbd7 4. e4 e5 5. f4 {b: doubtful} (5. Nf3 {is what is generally played}) 5... exd4 {c : It was necessary, otherwise White plays 6.Nf3 or 6.fxe5, which would have given him an unquestionable positional advantage.} 6. Qxd4 Nc5 7. Be3 Qe7 {d : An uncommon move in the opening, but of great value in this position, since it forces White to defend his King’s pawn and therefore prevents the development of White’s game} 8. Nd5 {e} (8. e5 {could be tried, but Black would always have a very good game with} Ng4) 8... Nxd5 9. exd5 Bf5 {f} ({I though of} 9... g6 {but} 10. O-O-O {would have given White a good game}) 10. Nf3 {g} (10. O-O-O {was better}) 10... g6 {h With this move Black obtains the attack and begins a brilliant game, since he offers the rook in exchange for the bishop.} (10... g5 11. O-O-O) 11.

O-O-O {was too exposed and also offered chances for several attacks that could have led to a draw for White.}) 15. Bd4 {k Magnificent move. White, for at least eleven moves, plays the best they have at their disposal.} g5 {l Here comes a brilliant combination, and the only way to continue the attack and preserve the advantage.} 16. Bxg7+ {m} (16. Nxg5 Bxd4+ 17. Qxd4 Nxg5 18. Rxe7 Nh3#) (16. fxg5 Nxg5 17. Rxe7 (17. Nxg5 Bxd4+ 18. Qxd4 Qxe1) (17. Bxg7+ Rxg7 18. Nxg5 Qxg5 {with a very large positional advantage.}) 17...

Ne6+ Bxe6 22. fxe6 c6 {wins for Black}) 18... Qe5 {p} (18... c5 19. dxc6 bxc6) 19. Qd3 Re8 {q Played with the full intention of later sacrificing the queen} (19... Nc5 {Black would have given a small advantage to Black} 20. Rxe5 Nxd3 21. Re3 Ne5 {the pawn on f5 is weak}) 20. Ne6+ fxe6 21. fxe6 Rxe6 22. dxe6 Bc6 23. Qf3+ Qf4 24. Qe3 {r} (24.

Nd2 {t The final brilliant blow of the game, and the most beautiful of all} 28. Qc3 {u A very excusable error after such a hard game as White has had} (28. Bg2 {was the best move, then the game would have proceeded as follows:} Qxe3+ 29. Rxe3 Nxc4 30. Rc3 Bxg2 31. Kxg2 d5 {and Black would have had very good chances to win.}) 28... Nf3+ 29. Kf2 Qf8 {v The move that White had not seen.} 30. c5 Ne5+ 31. Kg1 Nf3+ {x} (31... Qf3 {was not convenient} 32. Qxf3 Nxf3+ 33. Kf2 Nxe1 34. c6 {and although Black should still win, the victory would be more difficult}) 32. Kf2 bxc5 33. Qa5 Ne5+ 34. Kg1 Qf3 35. Qxc7+ Kf6 36. Qxd6 Qxh1+ 37.
