1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qd8
|
the theory usually recomends 3..Qa5 |

|
|
|
4. Bc4 e6 5. Nf3 Nd7 6. d4 h6 7. O-O a6 8. Re1
|
now, Bd5 or Nd5 is possible |

|
|
|
8... Nb6 9. Bb3 Bb4 10. Ne5 Ne7 11. Qg4
|
11..0-0 is not possible because of 12.Bxh6! |

|
|
|
11... Nf5
|
Now white can force a queen exchange with 12.Qxf5 exf5 13. Nc6 , but further analysis will find a better move |

|
|
|
12. Nxf7
|
the oldest trick in the book, exploiting the weakness of f7 |

|
|
|
12... Kxf7
|
if not, white will be an exchange and pawn up. Perhaps it would have offered better chances for black |

|
|
|
13. Qxf5+
|
exploiting the pin on the a2-g8 diagonal |

|
|
|
13... Ke7
|
maybe 13..Kg8 would have offered better chances of survival |

|
|
|
14. Rxe6+
|
bringing the artillery into play |

|
|
|
14... Kd7
|
if 14..Bxe6, 15.Qxe6 Kf8 15.Qf7# (again, f7) |

|
|
|
15. Rxb6+
|
checkmate in two |

|
|
|
15... Ke8
|
e7 or e8, Qf7 ends the game |

|
|
|
16. Qf7#
|
a miniature |
