1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4
queen's gambit accepted. let the white proove his gambit.

 
3. e4 c5 4. Be3
not a good move. more femiliar is 4. d5,

 
4... cxd4 5. Qxd4 Qxd4 6. Bxd4 Nc6 7. Bc3 b5
black is left with an extra pawn. white has gained no advantage for that pawn.

 
8. a3 e5 9. Nd2 Nf6
all black has to do is to keep his pressure in the center. that pressure and the c pawn will win the match...

 
10. Ngf3 Bb7
keep pressing the e pawn.

 
11. Nxe5
white helps black to change pieces. I dont think its good for white.

 
11... Nxe5 12. Bxe5 Nxe4 13. Nxe4 Bxe4 14. f3 Bf5
the white king is in the center and there are only pieces on the board. with the extra pawn it should be enough for black.

 
15. g4
better is 15. Be2 and 0-0 afterwards. it is not good to chase something you will never get (the bishop)...

15... Be6 16. h3 O-O-O
the d file is a must for black in order to attack white's king.

 
17. Rd1 Bd5
f3 is weak. black will exchange rooks after Bf8 will move.

 
18. b3 Bxa3
white is doomed. the b4 square is crucial...

19. bxc4 Bxf3 20. Rxd8+ Rxd8 21. Rh2 Re8
no place to hide now. the bishop or the rook are lost.
