1.e4 {Notes by Eric Schiller.} d5 2.d4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 exf3 5.Qxf3 g6 6.Be3 {Against the Bogoliubow Defence, White should not develop his bishop at d3, because it will bite on granite at g6, and the simplistic advance of the h-pawn is too slow.} Bg7 7.h3 {I think that this prophylactic move is useful, though it need not be played right away. 7.Bc4 O-O 8.Nge2 Nc6 see Danner - Gittel. } O-O 8.O-O-O c6 { 8...Nc6 9.d5 Ne5 10.Qf4 Ned7 [ 10...Qd6 11.Nb5 Nh5 12.Nxd6 Nxf4 13.Nxc8 ]
11.g4 and White has plenty of compensation for his pawn in the form of a kingside attack. } 9.Bc4 Nbd7 10.Nge2 Qa5 { Black is aiming for e7-e5, and has achieved equality. But White still has com pensation for his pawn. } 11.g4 e5 12.g5 Ne8 {! 12...Nd5 13.Bxd5 cxd5 14.Nxd5 Qxa2 15.Nec3 Qa1+ 16.Nb1 and the h-pawn marches while Black scrambles to develop. 12...Nh5 13.Ng3 Nxg3 14.Qxg3 exd4 15.Bxd4 Ne5 16.Bb3 and although Black's position looks secure, White is going to play Nc3-e4-f6. } 13.d5 { Otherwise Black captures at d4 and plays Nd7-e5. } e4 { Black offers the pawn back in order to open lines. } 14.Qf2 { 14.Nxe4 Qb4 ! 14.Qxe4 Nd6 15.Qd3 Ne5 -+ } Ne5 15.Bb3 b6 { to prevent Bc5 } 16.dxc6 Nxc6 17.Nxe4 { This position must be evaluated as better for White, who controls the f6-square. } Qe5 {?} 18.N2c3 Bf5 19.Bf4 Qa5 20.Rd5 {!} Qb4 21.Nf6+ {!} Bxf6 22.gxf6 Nxf6 23.Rxf5 {!
