1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Nxf6+ gxf6 6. Nf3 Bf5 7. Bf4 Qb6 8. Bd3 Bxd3 9. Qxd3 Qxb2 10. O-O Qb5 11. c4 Qa6 12. Rfb1 Nd7 13. Rb3 e6 14. Qc3 Nb6?

The losing move. Black is not too badly placed after, for example, 14... Rg8 15. c5 b6 16. cxb6 axb6 17. Qxc6 Rc8 18. Bc7.

However, Tim Harding's suggestion of 14... Bg7 15. Bd6 Rd8‘!’ (15... Bf8) loses the queen after 16. Ra3 Qb6 17. c5 Qb5 18. Ra5 Qe2 19. Re1.

15. d5! cxd5 16. Qxf6 Qxc4 17. Ne5 Qd4 18. Rc1 Bg7 19. Qxf7+ Kd8 20. Bg5+
