1.e4 e6 2.d4 b6 3.c4 Bb7 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.f3 Ne7 6.a3 Bxc3+ 7.bxc3 0-0 White has the big center, but is lagging in development.

8.Bd3 d5 9.cxd5 exd5 10.Qc2 Re8 11.Ne2 c5 12.exd5 Nxd5?!
Giving up the h7 pawn but I figure I'll regain it in the middle later.

13.Bxh7+ Kh8 14.0-0
Otherwise I'll play Qh4+ and Qxf7

Abandoning the d-pawn.

25...Qxd4+ 26.Kh1 Re7 27.h3
The king needs a little air.

27...Ne3
I figure I'm winning now.

Rxa3 would work, too.

36.Rxd1
Re1 was the last chance to fight on.,
