1. b3 d5 2. Bb2 Bg4 3. f3 Bf5 4. e3. For 4. f4 e6 see Basman – Timman, London 1975. 4. ... Nf6 5. g4 Bc8 6. g5 Nfd7 7. Nc3 e6 8. f4 c5 9. Nf3 Nc6 10. Qe2 a6 11. h4 Rg8 12. f5 Nb6 13. g6 hxg6 14. fxg6 f6. If 14. ... fxg6 then 15. Qg2. 15. d4 Qc7 16. 0-0-0 Bd7 17. Bh3 0-0-0 18. Kb1 f5. I would have preferred 18. ... Kb8 19. h5 c4∞. 19. Ng5 c4 20. e4! Offering a Pawn and opening up the position. 20. ... dxe4 21. d5! exd5 22. Nxd5 Nxd5 23. Rxd5 c3 24. Bxc3 Ne7 25. Rd4


25. ... Nxg6? The Bishop cannot, of course, be captured, since 25. ... Qxc3?? loses to 26. Rc4+, but also the text is a gross blunder. More resilient is 25. ... Kb8 although after 26. Qc4 White maintains a clear advantage, e.g. 26. ... Qxc4 27. bxc4 Nc6 28. Rxd7 Rxd7 29. Bxf5 etc. 26. Rc4 Bc5 27. b4 Bb5 28. bxc5 Nf4 29. Bxf5+ Kb8 30. Qxe4 Rge8 31. Ne6 Rxe6 32. Bxe6 Bc6 33. Bd4. Probably a typo. You’d better to read 33. Be5 or 33. Qxf4. 1 : 0.
