Nf3 then 12... Nxe5 works 12... Nxe5 13. Bxg5 Bf6 14. Bxf6 Qxf6 15. Qe2 b6 Livelier than 15... Nxc4 16. Qxc4 b5 with a good endgame for Black 16. Bd5!? An attempt to confuse matters. 16. Bd3 can be met by 16... Nxd3+ 17. Qxd3 Bb7 18. f3 a5 16... Ba6 Stronger than 16... exd5 17. f4 d6 18. Nf3 Bf5 19. O-O 17. Qxa6 exd5 18. Qe2 18. Qb7 could be answered by the calm 18...

Qe6 Preventing the King from escaping to h3. 24. g4 Rb2+ 24... Qe4+ is also winning, since White has no perpetual check after 25. Kh3 Qxh1 26. Qg5+ Kf8 27. Qh6+ Ke7 28. Re1+ Kd8 29. Qf6+ Kc8 30. Rxe8+ Kb7 31. Rxb8+ Kxb8 32. Qxf7 25. Kg3 Qe3+ 26. Kh4 Not 26. Nf3 Qxf3+ 27. Kxf3 Re3# 26... Qf2+ 27. Kg5 Re6! The King is now truly stranded. 28. Nh3 Other moves lose the Queen or lead to a quick mate, e.g. 28. f5 h6+ or 28. Qh4 Rg6+ 29. Kh5 Rh6+ 28... h6+ 29. Qxh6 Or 29. Kf5 with a choice of two mates. 29... Qe3! Winning a piece by 29... Rxh6 30. Nxf2 Rg6+ 31. Kh5 Rxf2 is slower 30. Qh5 The only way to save the Queen is 30. Qh4 , but then one possible finish is 30... Qxc3 31. f5 Qf6+ 32. Kh5 Qh6# and 30. Rhe1 fails to 30... Rxh6 31. Rxe3 Rg6+ 32. Kh5 Nxe3 30... Re5+ This pretty cross-check concludes the chase. 31. Kh4 Rxh5+ 32. gxh5 Qe7+ 33. Kg3 33. Ng5 is best met by 33... Nd2 33... Rc2 0-1 [Jim Vickery]
