Nf3 c5 3. d5 b5 This is a very aggressive variation and I was impressed that Theodore was well prepared against 1.d4. 4. Bg5 d6 5. e4 Qa5+ 6. Nfd2? ![]() BLACK TO MOVE 6... Nxe4! Well played - my young opponent saw this immediately! Now I am already in trouble and have to make it as complicated as possible. 7. b4! Qxb4 8. c3 Nxc3 9. Nxc3 Qxc3 10. Bxb5+ Bd7 11. Bxd7+ Nxd7 12. O-O h6! 13. Ne4 ![]() BLACK TO MOVE 13... Qb4 13... Qe5 was correct and winning for Black because it not only attacks my knight but protects the d6 square. 14. Re1! Thanks to this trick I now have some attacking possibilities. 14... Qb6 15. Rb1 Qc7? ![]() WHITE TO MOVE I was lucky to have this one, now I am suddenly winning because 16...Qxb7 17.Nxd6+ wins the queen. 16... Qa5 17. Nxd6+ Kd8 18. Nc4? I had lots of better moves here :) 18... Qa6! ![]() WHITE TO MOVE 19. Rxd7+! Kxd7 20. Ne5+ Kc8 20...Kc7 was better, because now I have a deadly check. 21. Qg4+! e6 22. Nxf7 hxg5 23. Rxe6 Rh4 24.
