Nc3 d6 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. e3 {e4 poses more problems imo} 5... O-O 6. Be2 Nbd7 {I'm usually looking later to provoke d5 and get the c4 square} 7. O-O c6 {A prosaic move that mainly stops Nb5} 8. b3 e5 {Strike in the centre first aiming to control events} 9. Bb2 exd4 10. Nxd4 Nc5 {E4 is now seriously weak} 11. Rc1 Nce4 12. Nxe4 Nxe4 13. Bf3 Ng5 14. Bc3 Re8 {The maneuvering is putting me marginally ahead and he is becoming concerned about c5 tactics} 15. Ba1 {A wasted tempo, he should have done this the move before} 15... Bd7 16. Re1 Qc8 {I've fallen behind again a little as h4 is strong but he panics about tactics on h3 here (which don't yet work) and.....} 17. g3 {Weakness on the light squares} 17... Bh3 18. Rc2 {A blunder allowing} 18... c5 19. Nb5 Bxa1 {He cannot recapture with the queen} 20. Nxd6 Rd8 {Inaccurate and almost blows things as qd7 was the right move} 21. Bg2 Bxg2 {R x d6 better but I worked this simple line out} 22. Nxc8 Rxd1 23. Rxd1 Be4 24. Rd8+ {Doesn't work and knight is pinned to rook} 24... Kg7 25. Rc1 Bf6 26. Re8 Bc6 {The rook is out of squares and must fall, rob resigned at this point} *
