1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0 Bg4 6.h3 h5 7.d3 Qf6 8.Be3 Bd6 9.Nbd2 Ne7 10.Re1 Ng6 This looks risky, as now the Knight blocks the Queen's path to h6, and therefore loses a piece. Probably 12. ...Bd7 is best. 11.hxg4 hxg4 12.Ng5 Nf4 #Here is where the game's fortunes turn. With Qxg4, White would be up a piece, instead of down a piece! 13.Bxf4 Qxf4 14.g3 Qxg5 15.Kg2 0-0-0 16.Nc4 Bc5 17.Qd2 Rh2+ 18.Kxh2 Qh5+ 19.Kg2 Qh3+ 1-0
