Nf3 Nxd5 4. d4 Bg4 5. Be2 e6 6. h3 Bh5 7. O-O Nd7 $6 { The position is quiet yet Black's last move looks a bit passive and seems to lose a grip on the d5 square. Allan takes advantage but still hard to think that Black loses in only 7 more moves!} 8. c4 N5f6 9. Nc3 c6 10. Bf4 Be7 11. d5 $1 {Allan has a cunning idea in mind! Black does not want to let White swap pawns on e6 hence} cxd5 12. cxd5 Bxf3 13. Bxf3 e5 $2 {Black's last 2 moves were designed to support this move but there is a flaw which has been overlooked.} (13... exd5 {does not seem to be much better as after} 14. Bxd5 Nxd5 15. Nxd5 {Black drops plenty of material e.g.} O-O (15... Rc8 16. Re1) 16. Bc7 Qe8 17. Re1 {and the Black position is busted!}) (13... Qb6 {may be best but is still awful}) 14. d6 $1 {Here Black resigns rather than face the full force of White's attack e.g.} exf4 15. Re1 Qb6 16. Rxe7+ Kf8 17. Bd5 Qxd6 18. Rxf7+ Ke8 19. Rxg7 $18 {Excellently played Allan!} 1-0
