1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 0-0 5. Bd3 d5 6. Nf3 c5 7. 0-0 dxc4 8. Bxc4 cxd4 9. exd4 b6 10. Qe2 Bb7 11. Bg5 Nbd7 12. Rac1 Rc8. For 12. ... Bxc3 13. Rxc3 Qb8 see Endzelins – Rittner, Perfors Memorial by correspondence, 1980. 13. Ne5 h6 14. Nxd7 Qxd7 15. Bxf6. White is content to spoil Black’s King’s-side Pawn structure. 15. ... gxf6 16. Qg4+. White played consistently and he he went for an all-out attack. A sounder approach might be 16. Rfd1 f5 17. d5 with a more balanced situation. 16. ... Kh7 17. Ne4 Be7 18. Bd3 f5 19. Ng3 Rg8 20. Qh5 Rg6 21. Rxc8 Qxc8 22. Rd1 Qa8 23. Nxf5? An impatient move, which loses at once. After 23. f3 Bd5 Black’s advantage is obvious, but White can still hope to save the day.

23. ... Bf3! 24. Qh3 Bxg2 0 : 1.
