{I had prepared for the game because at that time, because at that time, Richard was showing a liking for the Kings Gambit, when playing White.} 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 ({Fischer said that} 4. h4 {is the only realistic try for advantage. Fischer always played 3.Bc4 rather than move the Knight.}) 4... Bg7 5. O-O h6 ({Korchnoi says that if} 5... g4 6. Ne1 {gives White a plus.}) 6. d4 Ne7 7. g3 ({The move} 7. c3 {might be best.} Nbc6 8. g3 $2 d6 9. gxf4 g4 $1 10. d5 gxf3 11. dxc6 Bg4 $1 12. Kh1 Nxc6 {gives Black a plus. Korchnoi.}) 7... g4 ({In Korchnoi's book on the Kings Gambit,} 7... d5 8. exd5 fxg3 9. Ne5 gxh2+ 10. Kh1 O-O 11. Nxf7 Rxf7 12. Rxf7 Kxf7 13. Bxg5 $1 Kg6 14. Bh4 Bf5 15. Qe2 {Unclear.}) 8. Nh4 {Returns the pawn but it tries to develop the Queenside.} d5 ({We're now on our own. I was afraid of} 8... f3 9. Nxf3 gxf3 10. Qxf3 O-O 11. Bxf7+ {It wasn't clear and I didn't like it.}) 9. exd5 f3 {I was a bit surprised at} 10. Nc3 {because instead for going for wild complications, he decided to develop his pieces and put his trust in that.} c6 11. Be3 ({If} 11. dxc6 {I'd have probably swapped the Queens by playing} Qxd4+) 11... cxd5 12. Bb3 Nbc6 13. Qd2 Be6 {I was surprised White is playing a positional game. Black simply develops and strengthens points.} 14. Nd1 h5 15. c3 Bf6 16. Ng2 ({I didn't see that coming. I expected} 16. Bg5 Bxg5 17. Qxg5 Nf5 18. Qxd8+ Rxd8 19. Nxf5 Bxf5 20. Re1+ Kf8 {and I thought Black was okay.}) 16... Nf5 17. Nf4 h4 18. Bf2 ({If} 18. Nxe6 fxe6 19. Nf2 hxg3 20. Nxg4 gxh2+ 21. Kf2 Bxd4 22. Bxd4 Qh4+ 23. Kxf3 Qg3+ 24. Ke2 Qxg4+ {is decisive.}) 18... hxg3 19. hxg3 $2 ({I thought} 19. Bxg3 {was better.}) 19... Bg5 20. Ne3 ({If White had played more sharply with} 20. Nxe6 fxe6 21. Qe1 Kd7 {threatening 22...Rh1+ 23.Kxh1 Qh8+ 24. Kg1 Qh3 is decisive.}) 20... Bxf4 21. gxf4 g3 22. Nxf5 gxf2+ (22... g2 {I think I was just eager to grab the piece, rather than playing}) 23. Qxf2 Bxf5 24. Rae1+ Kf8 25. Re3 ({If} 25. Qxf3 {Black has} Be4) 25... Qf6 {And White resigned. Black has Qg6+ and of course Black is a piece ahead.} 0-1
