I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess.

1. e4 { B01: Scandinavian Defence } 1... d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qd8 4. d4 Nf6 5. Bc4 c6 { Covers b5 and discourages a d5 center break. An early c6 is almost
always a good precautionary move in the center counter. } 6. h3 { An
unnecessary precaution against Bg4. } 6... Bf5 7. Nf3 e6 { Secures d5 } 8. g4 { The
only justification for 6. h3. However, this pawn storm is premature because
black has not castled king side. } 8... Bg6 9. Qe2 Bb4 10. Bb3 { Perhaps white
feared Bxc2 after Bd2 to break the pin. } 10... h6 $2 { An unnecessary weakening of
the pawn structure. } 11. Ne5 { Now 11... Be4 12. f3 Qxd4 13. Bd2 Qxe5 14. fxe4
Qg3+ is OK for black. } 11... Qxd4 { A line full of risk. } 12. Nxg6 Bxc3+ 13. Kf1 fxg6 { 13... Bxb2? doesn't work 14. Bxb2 Qxb2 15. Rd1 threatens Bxe6 and
Nxh8. } 14. Qxe6+ Kd8 15. Be3 Qe4 16. Rd1+ Nbd7 $2 { This move obviously loses.
Instead, 16... Kc7 17. Qd6+ Kc8 18. Be6+ Nbd7 18. Bxc7+ Nxe7 20. Qxd7+ Kb8
21. Kg1 Bf6 gives black a fighting chance. } 17. Rxd7+ $1 { There is simply no
adequate response to this move. There might follow 17... Kc8 18. Rxg7+ Qxd6
19. Bxe6+ Kd8 20. bxc3. And the rest is history. } 1-0
