1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Nf6 3. e3 e6 4. Nd2 c5 5. c3 cxd4 6. exd4 Nc6 7. Bd3 Bd6 8. Bg5 O-O 9. Ngf3 Re8 10. O-O e5 11. dxe5 Nxe5 12. Nxe5 Bxe5 13. Nf3 Bc7 14. Be3 Qd6 15. h3 b6 16. Bd4 Nd7 17. Qd2 Nc5 18. Qg5 f6 19. Qh5

19. Bxh7+!.

19... g6 20. Bxg6! hxg6 21. Qxg6+ Kf8 22. Bxf6 Re6 23. Rfe1 Ne4 24. Qg7+

Engines think 24. Rxe4!! Rxe4 (24... dxe4 25. Qh5) 25. g3, with Ng5+ to follow, is winning for White, but this is difficult to find.

24... Ke8 25. Bd4

Engines find 25. Rad1! to be winning for White, e.g. 25... Nxf6 (25... Rxf6 26. Rxe4+) 26. Qxf6. Again, it is not easy to find such moves at the board.

25... Rg6 26. Qh8+ Qf8 27. Qxf8+ Kxf8 28. g4 Ng5 29. Nxg5 Rxg5 30. Re2 Bd7 31. Rae1 Re8 32. Be3 Rge5 33. f3 R5e7 34. Bh6+ Kf7 35. Rxe7+ Rxe7 36. Rxe7+ Kxe7 37. Be3 Kf6 38. h4 Kg6 39. h5+ Kg7 40. Kg2 Bd6 41. Kh3 Bc5 42. Bd2 a5 43. f4 d4 44. cxd4 Bxd4 45. Bc3 Bxc3 46. bxc3= b5 47. a3 Kh6?

Strangely, and far from obviously, Black is now lost. Instead 47... Bc6 seems to hold, e.g. 48. Kh4 Be4 49. g5 Kf7.

48. Kh4 Bc6 49. g5+ Kh7 50. f5 Bf3 51. f6 Be4 52. Kg4 Bd3 53. Kf4 Be2 54. g6+ Kg8 55. h6 Bc4 56. Kg5 Be6 57. h7+ Kh8 58. Kh6 a4 59. g7#
