 Rathmines v. Phibsboro 'B' (11)  

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 d6 3. f4 Nc6 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Bb5 e6 6. O-O Be7 7. Bxc6+ bxc6 8. d3 O-O 9. Qe1 Qb6 10. Qh4 Qc7 11. Qh3 h6 12. e5 Nd7 13. Qg3 d5 14. f5 Kh7 15. Bf4 Rg8 16. f6 Bf8 17. Ng5+ hxg5 18. Qh3+ Kg6 19. g4 gxf4?

Even with the best 19... Nxf6! Black is lost anyway after 20. Bxg5! , e.g. 20... Qxe5 21. Rxf6+ Kxg5 22. Qh5+ Kxf6 23. Rf1+ Ke7 24. Qxe5.

The ICJ report considers only (19... Nxf6) 20. exf6? and 20. Bg3?, each of which loses.

20. Qh5#

1-0
