1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.c3 Nf6 4.Be2 Nc6 5.d3 g6 6.O-O Bg7 7.Nbd2 O-O 8.Re1 e5 9.Bf1 Be6 10.Qc2 Rc8 11.a4 Nh5 12.Nc4 f5 13.Ng5 Qe7 14.Nxe6 Qxe6 15.Ne3 f4 16.Nd5 Nf6 17.Qb3 Nxd5 18.exd5 Qf7 != 19.Be2 b6 ?! 19...h5 is recommended, or 19...Rc7 20.Bg4 ! Rce8 21.Be6 Rxe6 22.dxe6 Qe7 23.Qd5 Nd8 Black gets some booty for his trouble; First, winning the "e" Pawn, and then making good use of the active Knight vs. the passive Rook. 24.d4 Nxe6 25.dxe5 Bxe5 26.f3 Kh8 27.Bd2 Ng7 28.Re4 Nh5 29.Qd3 Nf6 30.Re2 Qf7 31.Rae1 c4 ! Now, the route for the Knight becomes clear. This motif is often seen in Benoni type positions 32.Qc2 Nd7 33.Qe4 Nc5 34.Qc6 Nd3 35.Rb1 Re8 36.Kf1 Re7 37.a5 bxa5 38.Ra1 Nxb2 39.Rxa5 Nd3 40.Rb5 Rc7 41.Qe4 Kg7 Here, W.F. Newton II suggested 41...Qg7! 42.Rd5 h5 43.Rb5 Qd7 ! 44.Rb1 ?? Qa4 ? In critical time trouble, Black misses 44...d5! winning the Queen 45.Be1 a5 Black misses 45...Qa5! but, the simple 45...Ne1 46 Re1 Bc3-+ is also very promising 9 46 g3 Qc6 Here, scoresheets abandoned, after one final flurry, Black lost on time.
