[Notes by Allan Hislop]

1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.0-0 0-0 6.Nc3 [6.d5 is an alternative.]

6...d6 7.Qd3 c6 [The book line, but I prefer d5!?]

8.e4 d5 [If 8... fxe4 9.Nxe4 Nxe4 10.Qxe4 Bf5 11.Qh4 e6 12.Bg5 with a slight plus.]

9.exf5 [With hindsight, e5 is better.]

9...Bxf5 10.Qe3 Na6 [If 10... Bxc2 11.Qe6+ Kh8 12.Ng5 pressurising e6 and f7.]

11.Qe2 Qb6 12.a3 Bg4 13.h3 Bxf3 14.Bxf3 Qxd4? 15.Qe6+ [And Frank resigned, expecting to have his queen entrapped. Some wriggling is possible however after 15... Rf7 16.Be3 Qc4 17.Be2 Nc7 18.Qxf7+ Kxf7 19.Bxc4 dxc4 though White is material ahead. If 15... Kh8 16.Be3 Nc5 17.Qxe7 Ng8 18.Bxd4 Nxe7 19.Bxc5 Rxf3 20.Bxe7 Bxc3 21.bxc3 then Black's material deficit is larger.] 1-0
