1. e4 { B01: Scandinavian Defence } 1... d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. d4 Bg4 4. f3 Bf5 5. c4 e6 6. dxe6 Nc6 7. Be3 Qe7 8. exf7+ Kxf7 9. Kf2 Re8 { Black is already threatening
mate. } 10. Qd2 Qd7 11. Nc3 Rxe3 $1 { Pulling white' s King further into the
flames. Now if 11. Qxe3 then 11... Nxd4 followed by 12... Bc5 puts high
pressure on white's king and queen. } 12. Kxe3 Bc5 13. dxc5 Ng4+ $1 { Now if
14. fxg4?, then 14... Re8+ forces white to abandon the defense of his queen.
(White no longer has the support of the f3 pawn that would allow the move Ne4
to temporarily block the check.) } 14. Ke2 { Of course not 14. fxg4 Re8+. } 14... Qe6+ 15. Kd1 Ne3+ { This move is stronger than 15... Rd8. } 16. Kc1 Rd8 17. Nd5 Nxf1 18. Qe2 Qh6+ 19. f4 Rxd5 $1 { Annihilates the defender of f4 threatening
mate. } 20. Qxf1 { Other lines are not good either. 20. cxd5 Qxf4+ 21. Kd1

gives black a crushing attack. } 21. Ne2 Rxc4+ 22. Kd1 Bg4 23. h3 Rd4+ { 23...
Rxf4! is more accurate 24. hxg4 Rxf1+ 25. Rxf1+ Kg8. } 24. Ke1 Bxe2 25. Qxe2 Qg6 26. f5 $4 { This move is a foolish attempt at counter play. White
maintains a slight material advantage if he can just get his King out of the
line of fire by 26. Kf2 Rf4+ 27. Kg1 etc. } 26... Qg3+ { Here we go again. } 27. Kf1 Rf4+ 28. Kg1 Nd4 { The knight defends and attacks. White is now desperate.
