1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+ 4.Nbd2 b6 5.a3 Bxd2+ 6.Qxd2 O-O 7.e3 Bb7 8.Be2
Ne4 9.Qc2 f5 10.O-O d6 
    ( 10...Rf6 )
11.Ne1 Nd7 12.f3 Nef6 
    ( {I have played} 12...Ng5 {in an analogous position, with the idea of
    using the f6 square for other pieces later. The knight can support d6 
    and e5 from f7 as well.} )
13.b4 Qe7 14.Bb2 Rae8 
    ( 14...c5 {is a more solid way to counter in the center. Black can 
    recapture with the b-pawn on c5 and maintain strong control of e5.} )
15.Nd3 e5?! 16.dxe5 dxe5 17.Nf2 e4 18.f4 {White's unopposable bishop now 
has very nice long term prospects. Black faces a protracted uphill 
struggle after slightly mishandling the control of the center.} 18...c5 
19.Rfd1 Rc8 20.Bc3 Rfd8 21.Qb2 Ne8 22.Rd2 Bc6 23.b5 Bb7 24.a4 Ndf6 25.a5 
Rxd2 26.Bxd2 h6? 
    ( 26...Rd8 {was better, preventing the burial of the bishop.} )
27.a6 Ba8 28.Bc3 Rd8 29.Rd1 Rxd1+ 30.Bxd1 Nd7 31.Be2 Nef6?! 
    ( 31...Nd6 {looks right, to eye c4 and f5.} )
32.Qd2 Kf7 33.g4 g6 
    ( 33...fxg4 34.Nxg4 Nxg4 35.Bxg4 Nf6 36.Bxf6! {and white will arrange 
    to play an ending with an "extra" bishop. This kind of possibility 
    restricts black greatly, who must avoid wholesale exchanges.} )
34.gxf5 gxf5 35.Nh1! Ke6 36.Ng3 Qf8? 
    ( 36...Ne8 $142 {The knight must come to d6 to keep up a defensive 
    front. After the text move it becomes very difficult to recoordinate 
    black's forces.} )
37.Qd1! {Creating tactical possibilities on the white diagonal circuit 
d1-g4-d7.} 37...Qg8 38.Kf2 Qg6 39.Bxf6 Nxf6 
    ( 39...Qxf6 40.Nxf5! {exploits the diagonal tactics.} )
40.Qd8 {This invasion is decisive, since now the weaknesses on the a-file 
are added to the defensive burden.} 40...Qe8 41.Qc7 Nd7 42.Bh5 
    ( 42.Qxa7 Qd8 {complicates white's life by interring the queen.} )
42...Qh8 
    ( 42...Qb8 43.Bf7+ )
    ( 42...Qf8 43.Bg6 )
43.Bf7+! Kxf7 44.Qxd7+ {Black's pawns drop off.} 1-0
