1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 Nc6 {not optimum but ok, invites Bb5 pin and double pawns} 3.
Bf4 Nf6 4. h3 $6 {not optimum but white wants a long term retreat for Bishop
if Nh5} Bf5 5. a3 $6 {Effective but perhaps overcautious and e3 better than a3
as is a developing move.} e6 6. e3 Ne4 {looks good but perhaps a bit early and
black is underdeveloped} 7. Bb5 {Great move and white is now confident of
winning edge as light squares are weak around black king, pawns will be
doubled and white knight poise to jump to e5} a6 8. Bxc6+ bxc6 9. Ne5 c5 {g4
considered but c3 opens lines for white queen} 10. c3 {subtle and coaxes black
to gain a 2nd pawn but I saw that white attack would be ultra powerful, Q+N
and black has no defence} cxd4 $4 11. Qa4+ c6 12. Qxc6+ Ke7 13. Qb7+ {Qxf7+ is
white's target if Kf6 but black King has no safe squares anymore. Black can
block and sacrifice Queen or play Kd6.} Kd6 14. Nxf7+ {Resigns due to} Kc5 15.
