{Having achieved a winning position by forceful play white misses the
continuation to win black's queen and settles for B+N v R. He then proceeds to
win the game all over again in the kind of position that is not easy to play.
A fine performance.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. Be3

the pawn structure in front of the king in this way can be a good idea.} 10.
