The idea is to post a Kt at Q 4, but as it is the other Knight which will go there, this maneuver does not seem logical. The Kt at Kt 3 does nothing except to impede the development of the Black Q B. |

8. Bd3
|
If White instead plays 8 B - Kt 3, he can advance his K P immediately after 8 ... K Kt - Q 4 9 B x B Q x B. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Nfd5 9. Bxe7 Qxe7 10. Nf3
|
White cannot now play 10 P - K 4 because of 10 ... Kt - K B 5 threatening both Kt x K Kt P and Kt x B ch, removing the important White K B. |
|

|
|
10... O-O 11. O-O Bd7 12. Rc1
|
White now threatens to win a Pawn with 13 Kt x Kt Kt x Kt 14 P - K 4 Kt moves 15 R x P. |
|

12... c6
|
Before assuming such a defensive position, Black should have played Kt x Kt. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Ne4 f5
|
Positional suicide, creating a hole on K 5 for White's K Kt. |
|
| |
|
|
14. Nc5 Be8 15. Ne5
|
The position of White's Knights is ideal. They completely dominate the board. |
|
| |
|
|
15... Rb8
|
There is no point to this move, unless Black intends to then play ... Kt - Q 2. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Re1 Rf6 17. Qf3 Rh6 18. Qg3 Rc8
|
White threatened to win the Exchange with Kt - B 7 or Kt - Kt 4. |
|

|
19. f3 Rc7 20. a3 Kh8 21. h3
|
White feels that he has more than enough time to prepare his attack, and wants his own position to be perfectly secure before beginning it. |

|
Better was 23 ... Kt - B 3, intending a later ... Kt - Q 2. |
|

24. Rxe3
|
With this sacrifice of the Rook for a Knight and a Pawn, White obtains an overwhelming position. |
|

24... fxe3 25. Qxe3 Nc8
|
25 ... Kt - Q 2 was better, to eliminate one of White's Knights. However, even this move would fail against 26 Kt (B 5) x Kt B x Kt 27 Q x P Q x Q 28 Kt - B 7 ch K - Kt 2 29 Kt x Q. White would have two Pawns for the Exchange and a vastly superior position. |

Black's moves are forced, and his position is getting more and more constricted. |

This wandering Knight has done nothing throughout the game. |

30. Nce4 h6 31. h4 Nd5 32. Qd2 Rg6 33. hxg5 Qf8
|
If 33 ... P x P, 34 K - B 2 and Black is helpless. |
|
| |
|
|
34. f4 Ne7 35. g4 hxg5 36. fxg5
|
Black resigns. There is nothing to be done. If 36 ... B - Kt 1, White plays 37 Q - R 2 ch K - Kt 2 38 B x P. |
