3. Nc3, c5
4. d5, exd5
5. cxd5, d6
6. e4, g6
7. f4, Bg7
8. Bb5+, Nfd7
9. a4! ....

Strengthens the queen side against pawn attack (i.e. 9....a6, 10. Be2 b5, 12. a3 b4!).

10. Nf3, Nb4
11. 0-0, a6?!
12. Bxd7+!, Bxd7
13. f5! ....


13. .... 0-0

If 13....gxf5, 14. Bg5 Bf6, 15. Bf4 0-0, 16. e5! dxe5, 17. Nxe5 ... and White has the advantage.

14. Bg5, f6

If Black decides to protect the d6 pawn by 15...Qe7, then White may respond 16. Re1! ...

16. Bxd6, Bxa4
17. Rxa4, Qxd6
18. Nh4!, fxe4
19. Nf5, Qd7

If 19...Qe5, then 20. Qg5! ... and White's attack will be overwhelming.
