1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Bg4 5.Bxc4 e6 6.Nbd2 a6 7.h3 Bh5 8.b3
[ 8.g4 Bg6 9.Ne5 Nbd7 10.Nxg6 hxg6 11.g5 b5 12.Bd3 might be better]

8...Nbd7 9.0-0 b5 10.Be2 c5 11.dxc5=
[ 11.a4 cxd4 12.Nxd4 Bxe2 13.Qxe2 bxa4 14.Rxa4 Nc5 15.Nc6 looks like a better idea]

11...Bxc5 12.Bb2
As things turn out this bishop never moves again.

12...0-0 13.Ng5
[ 13.Rc1 ]

13...Bg6 14.Bf3 Nd5 15.Nge4 Bxe3?!
The idea behind this was that Black gets two pawns and a rook for his two pieces and his center pawns float up the board. [ 15...Be7 16.Qe2 Rc8 17.Rfc1 f5 18.Rxc8 Qxc8 19.Rc1 Qb8 20.Ng3 Rc8 looks better]

16.fxe3 Nxe3 17.Qe2 Nxf1 18.Nxf1 Rc8 19.Ne3 Bxe4 20.Bxe4 Nc5 21.Bc2
Note where the bishops are aimed.

21...Qh4 22.Ng4
Aiming for e5 [ 22.b4 Qxb4 23.Bxh7+ Kxh7 24.Qh5+ Kg8 25.Bxg7 Kxg7 26.Qg5+ Kh8= is a draw]

22...Rfd8
To sieze the only open files [ 22...f5!? ]

23.b4 Na4?
[ 23...Nd7= ; 23...Qg5! 24.bxc5 Rd2 25.Qe3 Qxc5 26.Qxc5 Rxc5 27.Ne3 Rdxc2 28.Nxc2 Rxc2 29.Rd1 f6 ]

24.Bxa4 bxa4 25.Qe5!
[ 25.Qxa6? Rc2 and Black's plan rolls]

25...f6
Forced

26.Qxe6+ Kh8 27.Re1
To prevent .. Re8

27...h5?
[ 27...a3 28.Bc3 Rf8 29.Bd4 Rc2 30.Bf2 Qg5 31.Qf7 Rg8 32.Ne3 and Black is still in the game]

28.Nxf6 Rf8
Qxb4 [ 28...Rc2?? 29.Qe8+ Rxe8 30.Rxe8# ; 28...Qxb4 ]

29.Rf1
It's job on the e-file is finished.

29...Qg5??
Seals his fate. [ 29...a3 30.Be5 Rcd8 31.Rf5 gxf6 32.Bxf6+ Rxf6 33.Rxh5+ Qxh5 34.Qxf6+ Kh7 35.Qxd8 makes it harder for White]

30.Rf5
with a killer threat at h5 [or g5]

30...Rc1+
hoping for Bxc1? & Qxc1+

31.Kh2 Rc6
more desperation

32.Rxg5
the mate threat gives Black no time for Rxe6

32...Rxf6 33.Rxh5+
[ 33.Rxh5+ Rh6 34.Rxh6# ] 1-0
