Here is a game played today on chessbase against player "Gnaggi". 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 d6 3 Nc3 g6
4 e4 Bg7 5 f3 0-0 6 Be3 Nc6 7 Qd2 e5 8 d5 Ne7 9 Bd3 The database overwhelmingly prefers
9 Nge2 here, but I prefer getting the king's bishop developed.
9...Ne8 10 Nge2 f5 11 ef Theory and practice indicates a move on the queen-side, either 0-0-0, b3, b4 or Rc1. I prefer to take the f-pawn,because it opens up lines on the king-side for attack. If black plays ...f4, as he usually does, then I have a great square on e4 for use by my minor pieces.
11...gf 12 h4 (or 12 Bg5) f4 13 Bf2 Nf5 14 Ne4 h6 15 h5 Nf6 16 g4 NxN? This is the first real bad move of the game. 16...fg maintains equality, while 16...NxN leaves black more than a point behind.
17 BxN Ne7 18 0-0-0 Bd7 19 Bb1 b5 20 Qc2 bc?? This loses the game for black. He had to stop for a defensive move, either 20...Kf7 or 20...Rf7.
21 Qh7+ Kf7 22 Bg6+ Kf6?? 23 Bh4# 1-0 22...NxB would have challenged white to find the continuation 23 hg+ Ke8 24 Bh4 Bf6 25 g7 Qe7 26 Qg6+ Qf7 27 gf(Q)+.
