Black tries a bold sacrifice that is nicely countered by white. Then black misses a opportunity for a possible draw and white cleans up.

-
to restrict motion of white's KB
- ( 7...cxd4 8.Nxd4 Bg6 9.c4
( 9.f4 (D)
mephisto2's: looks better for white )
9...dxc4 10.f4 Bc5 (D)
better for black since pieces are being developed in the center as opposed to pawns being pushed )
- ( 7...a6 mephisto2: another possibility for black )
8.b3
- ( 8.Nc3 a6 9.h3 b5 10.g4 )

12...bxc4 (D)
-
black has achieved goal of nice pawn chain, but 2 pieces still block castling
- ( 12...dxc4 13.Nc3 b4 14.Nb5 Qc6 15.Nd6+ Bxd6 16.exd6 Ngf6 )
13.Nh4 Bg6
- ( 13...Ne7 14.Nc3 Qc6 15.Qd2 h6 )
- ( 13...Qa2 14.Nxf5 exf5 )
14.Qd2?! -
this allows black a chance on the d8-h4 diagonal
- ( 14.Nxg6 possibly better since it may deter castling somewhat 14...hxg6 15.Qd2 Qd8 16.Re1 Be7 )
- ( 14.Nc3 Bb4 15.Nxg6 hxg6 16.Bd2 )
- ( 14.Bg5 Be4 15.Nc3 h6 16.Be3 Bh7 )

- ( 14...Ne7 15.Nc3 Qc6 16.Ra1 Nc8 )
15.Bg5
- ( 15.g3 Nh6 16.Bxh6 gxh6 17.f4 f5 18.exf6 Qxf6 )
15...Be7 16.Nf3?! -
takes pressure right off black
- ( 16.Nxg6 Bxg5 17.f4 hxg6 18.fxg5 )
16...Bxg5 -
to blacks advantage to reduce the pieces
- ( 16...h6 17.Bf4 )
17.Nxg5 Ne7 (D)
- ( 17...h6 18.Nf3 Ne7 19.Nc3 O-O )

20.Rb7
- ( 20.Nb5 Bxc2 )
- ( 20.f4 Qe7 )
20...Bxc2!? (D)
-
looks like an exciting move clearing cfile for pawn
- ( 20...Qe7 probably the better move 21.Nf3
( 21.Nb5 Rb8 22.Rxb8+ Ncxb8 23.f4 )
21...Rb8 22.Rc7 Nb4 )
- ( 20...Qc8 21.Rb2 h6 (D)
montagues: better for black driving the attacker back
( 21...Qa8 mephisto2: even better for black followed by ...Rb8 and white will have trouble with pawn structure )
)
21.Bg4! -
creates problems for black
- ( 21.Qxc2 Qxg5
( 21...Nxd4 22.Qxh7# )
22.Rxd7 Nxd4 23.Qd1 Nc6 24.Rc7 Qxe5 25.Nb5 Nb4 26.Bg4 )
- ( 21.Rxd7 Qxd7 22.Qxc2 f5 23.exf6 (D)
mephisto2: looks even stronger for white )
21...Nxd4 (D)
-
only way to protect e6
- ( 21...Bf5 22.Bxf5 exf5 23.e6 fxe6 24.Nxe6 )
- ( 21...Nb6 22.Nxf7 Rxf7 23.Bxe6 )

loses the game and really serves no purpose here
- ( 26...c3 here is the draw line 27.Kg2
( 27.Qa4 g6 28.Qc2 Qxc2 29.Bxc2 (D)
mephisto2: with still good winning chances for white (refutes the drawline) )
