Lot
- 1. e2 – e4 d7 – d5
Black chooses the Scandinavian Defense .
- 2. e4xd5 Qd8xd5
The alternative is 2.… Ng8 – f6 with the intention of capturing the pawn with the knight.
- 3. Sb1-c3 Qd5-a5
It is often played that 3.… Qd5 – d8 or 3.… Qd5 – d6 are further possibilities for Black.
- 4. d2 – d4 c7 – c6 5. Ng1 – f3 Bc8 – g4 6. Bc1 – f4 e7 – e6 7. h2 – h3 Bg4xf3 8. Dd1xf3 Bf8 – b4 9. Bf1 – e2 Nb8 – d7 10. a2 – a3 0 –0–0?
At this point the exchange on 10.… Bxc3 11. bxc3 followed by 11.… 0–0–0 is stronger.
Position after Black's 10th move |
Relying on the a-pawn being pinned, Black makes the crucial mistake.
- 11. a3xb4 !!
The bondage is bogus. With the sacrifice of the rooks, the black queen is distracted from point a6 .
- 11.… Da5xa1 + 12. Ke1 – d2! Da1xh1
As a result, Black gives up the queen's cover on the a6-square. The intermediate move 12.… Nd7 – e5 doesn't help either. After 13. Bf4xe5 Da1xh1 14. Qf3xf7 or 13.… Rd8xd4 + 14. Be5xd4 Da1xh1 15. Bd4xg7 the game is also decided. The following queen sacrifice forces the opening of the diagonal a6 – c8.
- 13. Qf3xc6 +! b7xc6 14. Be2 – a6 #
And despite the huge material advantage (one queen and two rooks ), black is mated by the white minor pieces .
