1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be3 e6 7.f4 b5 8.Qf3 Bb7 9.Bd3 Nbd7 10.g4 h6 11.a3 [After 11.0-0-0 Rc8 12.Rhe1 Rxc3 13.bxc3 Qa5 Black can sacrifice the exchange with good compensation.]

11...Rc8 12.0-0 Be7 13.Rae1 Now guess Black's next move. 13 ...

13...g5! The fight for e5 begins. The black king is quite safe in the centre.

14.f5 [14.fxg5 hxg5 15.Bxg5? Qb6 16.Be3 Ne5 17.Qg3 Nexg4 is already winning for Black.]

14...Ne5 15.Qh3 Kd7! As Karolyi remarks, "A marvellous move. What an imaginative way to defend the e-pawn. "

16.Be2 h5! 17.fxe6+ fxe6 18.gxh5 g4 19.Qg2 Rxc3! Pure carnage. Now the white centre is destroyed.

20.bxc3 Bxe4 21.Qf2 Nxh5 22.Bf4 Desperately trying to stop ... g3. 22 ...

22...g3! in vain.

23.hxg3 Nxf4 "Those of a nervous disposition may find the rest disturbing". Karolyi.

24.Qxf4 Rh1+ 25.Kf2 Rh2+ 26.Ke3 Bg5 27.Kxe4 Bxf4 28.gxf4 Rh3! The quickest.

29.Nxe6 [If 29.fxe5 Qh4+ 30.Rf4 d5# is mate.]

29...Kxe6 0-1
