1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 d6 {Not so active as Nf6 which develops a
piece, attacks the centre and speeds up castling.} 5. d4 exd4 6. cxd4 Bb4+ 7.
Nc3 Nf6 8. O-O O-O 9. Bg5 Be6 $2 10. Qb3 $2 {
A typical beginner's oversight, d5 won a piece.} Qd7 11. d5 Bh3 12. Bf4 {
I fell for the bluff, gxh3 was safe, but not dxc6 because of ...Qg4} Qg4 13.

Trapping his own king} 23. Nf5 Qg6 {Now, if only I could place a rook on g1}
24. Rg1 Bxg1 25. Rxg1 {This was my first intentional sacrifice in a game of

of autumn 1948 where this game and annotations was originally published).} Qb6
26. Nxg7 Nxg7 {
And white mates in two, ...f6 instead would have delayed the inevitable.} 1-0
