2.e3
e4
3.Nc3
Nf6
4.Be2
(where is the knight on g1 going to go now?)
4...c6
(preparing for d5!)
5.Nh3
(not a good spot for the knight, just watch why)
5...d6
[5...d5!
is still the best plan]
6.0-0
Bxh3!
7.gxh3
(White's kingside is all messed up, Black should seriously consider castling queen-side and THEN start an attack)
7...Nh5??
8.Bxh5
Qg5+
9.Kh1
d5
(finally!)
10.cxd5

11.Be2

12.f4
(White sees Blacks plan to go after h2)
12...exf3
13.Bxf3
Qe5
14.Qe2
d4?
(White's Queen is guarded, so the pawn on e3 is not really pinned)
15.exd4!?
[15.Bxb7!
is way better]
15...Qxe2
(when behind in material you do NOT wanted to trade off pieces, but the Black Queen is pinned anyway)

17.d5

18.Nd4

19.Rxf3
0-0-0
20.Nf5

21.Rf1!?
(Black's threat of Re1+ is nothing to worry about)
21...g6
22.Ng7?
Re2
[White's knight is now virtually trapped after 22...Re7
]
23.Rxf7
Re1+
24.Kg2
Re2+
25.Kg1
Rf8?
(Black should not be continuing to offer to trade off more material when still behind)
26.Rxf8+
Bxf8
27.Ne6

28.d3??
(now White gives back his extra piece)
28...Re1+!

34.Kg1
(or 34.Rxc1
Rh1+
35.Ke2
Rxc1
(and Black would be winning)) 34...Rc2
(gets a free pawn)]
34.Nf6!?
(probably not a good idea to have both your remaining pieces on the same diagonal and the pawn on b2 not guarded)
34...Bxb2
35.Rb1??
[35.Ne4+!
Kd5
36.Re1
saves the knight]
35...Bxf6
36.Rxb7
a5
[Black is now winning the game. All he needs to do is to keep his pawns, and the double up on the white pawns one at a time, starting with 36...Rxa2!
]
37.Rb6+
Ke5
38.Rb5+
Kd4
39.Rxa5
Kxd3
(Black has managed to trade a couple of pawns off, but if he has none left, his winning chances evaporate)

[40...Bd4!!
41.Rxg6
Rc1+
42.Kg2[]
Rg1+
43.Kf3[]
Rxg6
and Black would have been easily winning]
41.Rxg6
(Black chances to force a win are gone, only White might have a chance to win because he still has some pawns that might Queen yet)
41...Rc1+
42.Kg2
Rc2+
43.Kf1
Bxh2!?
[43...Rxa2
is probably better as all White's pawns would be on the same side of the board and should be easily stopped)]

easily winning]
