1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 dxe4 5.Nxe4 Be7 6.Bxf6 Bxf6 7.Nf3 0-0 8.Qd2 Nd7 9.0-0-0 Be7 10.Bd3 b6 11.Neg5 h6
[11...Nf6 12.Ne5 Bb7 13.Qf4 h6 14.h4 would also lead to a complicated position.]

12.Bh7+ Kh8 13.Be4 hxg5
[13...Bxg5 14.Nxg5 Rb8 15.Nf3 Nf6 16.Bc6 Qd6 17.Qc3 Bb7 may have been Black's best bet.; 13...Rb8 14.h4 leaves White attacking.]

14.g4!!
[14.Bxa8? g4 was Black's intention. The knight cannot move because of ... Bg5. Judit's move prepares h4 and prevents ... g4. Meanwhile the threat is 15 Bxa8.]

14...Rb8 15.h4 g6
[15...gxh4 16.g5 f5 17.Rxh4+ Kg8 18.Bc6 b5 (18...Bd6 19.g6 wins.) 19.Rdh1 Kf7 20.d5 e5 21.Bxd7 Bxd7 22.Nxe5+ Ke8 23.Rh8 intending the deadly 24 Qe2.]

16.hxg5+ Kg7 17.Qf4 Bb7
[Loses brilliantly, but it's all bad for Black now. 17...Rh8 18.Rxh8 Qxh8 19.Ne5 f5 20.gxf6+ Bxf6 (20...Nxf6 21.Rh1 ) 21.Rh1 g5 22.Qf3 Qg8 23.Nxd7 Bxd7 24.Rh7+ is crushing.]

18.Rh7+! Kxh7 19.Qh2+ Kg8
[19...Kg7 20.Qh6+ Kg8 21.Bxg6! ]

20.Rh1 Bxg5+ 21.Nxg5 Qxg5+
[Maybe 21...Kg7?! was a better practical try. White should play 22.Nxe6+! (22.Qh7+? Kf6 Black even escapes.) 22...fxe6 23.Qh7+ Kf6 24.g5+ Kxg5 25.Qh4# ]

22.f4 Qxf4+ 23.Qxf4 Bxe4 24.Qxe4
"Black had enough of the bombardment and resigned. Another great attacking game." Karolyi. 1-0
