Bf4 O-O 8. h3 Nh6 9. g4 {Threatening to win a piece.} Kh8 {Is this hypermodernism avant la lettre? Anyway Black goes too far in the way that he is folding himself.} ({He could have saved his knight in a more practical way with} 9... f6) 10. c3 ({With} 10. g5 Ng8 11. h4 {White could have started a very strong attack.}) 10... d6 11.

Qxf4 Bh6 22. Qf2 gxf5 {Black's advantage would be limited.}) 20... exf4 21. Qxf4 fxe4 22. Qxe4 Qh4 {Now White is lost.} 23. Bf2 {This costs the queen.} ({After} 23.
