This game was played on the German chess site schacharena.de. It is interesting for a cross pin in the middle game. |

A bit unusual, the standard moves are d4 and Nc3 after black's Nf6. |
|

|
Still Nc3 could have been played here. |

Black develops the pieces further. |

There are some weak dark squares in white's camp already: d4, b4. |
|

7... a5
|
Attack on the queen side. |
|

|
White forgets to develop his pieces. |

Weakens one more dark square: e3. Now there are several dark diagonals in white's camp open for black to exploit. |

Black searches for inititative on the queen side. |

The queen enters the queen side action. |

Pins the knight to the queen. Here an exciting game takes its course! |

! If 20...Bxc1 then 21.Nxe7 and forks king and queen. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Qc5+
|
The queen goes on the dark diagonal towards the white king. |
|

21. Ne3

A cross pin!! Normally this is lethal, but white finds here again and again a way to hold on. |

The rest was blitz, playing for the opponent to lose on time. But fortunately 2 min were enough for me to get the game into the safe mate-harbour. |
