Bc4 {We focus on this variation because of the tricks involved in this line, so better learn why white moved 2. Bc4 yet awkward looking.} Qh4+ 4. Kf1 {Again, the check which is too obvious... white's Kf1 is quite natural as it is part of white's set-up.} d6 {Same black responses, but will differ on move 5...Qh6} 5. Nf3 Qh6 {Yes, Another line for black as directly protects the f4 pawn.} 6. d4 Be6 {I like this enticing white to move d5...} 7. d5 Bg4 {NM Alexander King is disadvantaged here due to rating difference and playing a russian GM. But in speed chess anything can happen...} 8. Nc3 a6 {Preventing Nb5} 9. Ne2 g5 {Additional protection, that is the bad thing about giving free pawn at an early stage.} 10. h4 f6 11. Kf2 Qg7 {A must move...} 12. Bd2 Nd7 13. hxg5 fxg5 14. Bc3 Ne5 15. Qd4 Bxf3 16. gxf3 Be7 17. Rag1 Bf6 18. Nxf4 {Wow... No FEAR...let's see what will happen here...} Ng4+ 19. Ke2 Bxd4 20. Ne6 Bxc3 21. Nxg7+ Bxg7 22. Rxg4 {White is piece down..miscalculation.} h6 23. Rgg1 Nf6 24. c3 Nd7 25. Ke3 Ne5 26. Be2 O-O {his is a textbook approach (maximizing knight's power play). GM Pridorozhni still hangs, thinking he can salvage a draw.} 27. Rh3 Rf4 28. b4 a5 29. a3 axb4 30. axb4 Ra3 {The other rook is much better placed here.. check the bishop at g7..} 31. Rc1 Ng6 32. Kd2 Rf8 33. Bc4 Ne5 34. Be2 Ra2+ 35. Ke3 Rfa8 {Switching the force by playing Rb2 then Raa2...is an obvious plan.} 36. Bf1 Ng6 37. Rh1 Nf4 {Black should have resigned here...} 38. Bc4 Rg2 39. e5 Bxe5 40. Rxh6 Bg7 41. Re6 Nxe6 42. dxe6 Kf8 43. Rh1 c6 44. Bd3 Ke7 45. Rh7 Kf6 {Too easy...just play the right moves when you're up a piece.} 46. Be4 Re8 47. f4 gxf4+ 48. Kf3 Rg5 49. Kxf4 Rxe6 50. Rh1 Rg4+ {Simplicity is beauty...} 51. Kxg4 Rxe4+ 52. Kf3 Rc4 53. Rf1 Rxc3+ 54. Ke4+ Ke6 55. b5 Be5 56. bxc6 d5# {Fantastic game by NM Alexander King.
