1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.f3 Bg7 7.Be3 0-0 8.Bc4 Nc6 9.Qd2 Bd7 10.0-0-0 Rc8 11.Bb3 Na5 12.Kb1 Nxb3
?! Helps White to fortify his defences, better is 12...a6

13.cxb3
?! Shouldn't double your pawns if you don't have to, 13.Nxb3 is better

13...a5
13...Re8 is better

14.g4 a4 15.bxa4 Ra8 16.Bh6 Bxa4 17.Rc1 Qa5 18.Nf5
? Typical Yugoslav sacrifice if the "h" file is open but here it is unsound, 18.Bxg7 or 18.h4 are better

18...gxf5 19.Qg5 Ne8 20.gxf5 f6 21.Qg2 Rf7 22.a3 Kh8 23.Qh3 Bxh6 24.Qxh6 Bc6 25.Rhg1 b5
? Exposing the Bishop, 25...Qb6! followed by 26...Rg7 holds, now White should grab the "g" file

26.Ne2
? 26.Rg4! says Mr Fritz

26...b4
26...Bd7

27.Nf4 Ng7 28.Ne6
? This move should lose, White seems to be unaware of the danger, 28.Rg3 and doubling Rooks wins

28...Rg8
? Loses, 28...Nxf5!! is the great escape and should win

29.Rxc6 bxa3 30.Rg4
!

30...axb2
?? 30...Qe1+

31.Qxh7+
!! Brilliant Queen sacrifice

31...Kxh7 32.Rh4+ Nh5 33.Rxh5#
White mates 1-0
