1. e5 | c3 | |
2. d5 | c6 | |
3. d2 | e2 | Black attacks, but white takes over... |
4. c5 | c6e4x | |
5. e3 | ec2x | |
6. e35x | d3 | Black attacks again, white takes over again... |
7. e6 | d3f7x | |
8. e46x | f7d5x | |

10. df5x | f3 | |
11. b5 | e7 | |
12. e4 | g6 | |
13. f4 | d6 | |
14. d1 | a3 | |
15. a1 | g7 | |
16. a4 | d2 | White had no place to enter without attacking black. I must confess that I thought this couldn't happen because of the room created by the captures. Next time I'd better look. Of course black can now take the initiative. What a dirty trick! |
17. db1x | db2x | |
18. b1f7x | ge7x | |
19. a42x | gf6 | |
20. e5g7x | fe3 | |
21. e42x | c43 | |
22. b2d4x | e76 | |
23. g7e5x | f7d3x | |
24. e53x | d31x | Finally white can move, and he finds what doubtlessly is the best way out of this predicament. |
25. f43 | e2g6x | |
26. fd3x | g6c2x | |
27. ab2 | ca2x | |
28. a13x | e34 | Of course black has the better (com)position with a 4x4 piece and another piece of 4 to wear down white's piece. |
29. ac2x | d3b1x | |
30. f5d3x | dc1 | |
31. d3f5x | b1d3x | |
32. cb2 | e4g6x | For the second time white finds the best way out. |
33. b2c3 | db3x | |
34. c3b2 | b31x | |
35. a34 | b13x | |
36. b54 | b35x | |
37. a4c6x | A piece of six. Of course white is still severely handicapped by the four men black has buried so thoroughly, but black certainly has something to worry about. | |

44. c4e6x | dc5 | |
45. c64x | f7b3x | White's piece is down to 5, but black's 2 on 3 is a liability. Of course white can only attack if he liberates men in the process. There's some delicate manoeuvring going on right now. |
46. e65 | bc2 | |
47. e54 | ba3 | |
48. e45 | c5d6 | Black covers all tactical angles very neatly. This game is slowly developing into a DOOMSDAY scenario for white... |

51. cd2 | cd4 | WHITE RESIGNS. |
