{ Michael Wojcio offers this game of Donald Carrelli as Don's best.|Black's
queen sacrifice on move 12 is wonderful sacrificial play. } 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 dxc4 5. a4 { This odd looking move is designed to prevent
black from protecting his pawn on c5 with a timely b5. } 5... Bf5 6. Ne5 Nbd7 7. Nxc4 Qc7 8. f3 { White's knight capture on c4, and now this pawn conbination
simply takes too long. } 8... e5 { The center erupts with both kings in the center. } 9. e4 exd4 10. exf5 dxc3 11. Bd3 cxb2 12. Qe2+ Qe5 13. Nxe5 ( { White can try: } 13. Bxb2 Bb4+ 14. Kf2 Qxe2+ 15. Bxe2 Bc5+ 16. Kg3 O-O-O { Black's extra and
better positioned pawns will win. } ) 13... bxa1=Q 14. Nxc6+ Ne5 15. O-O bxc6 16. Bb2 Bc5+ 17. Kh1 Qxb2 18. Qxb2 Nxd3 19. Qe2+ Be7 20. Qxd3 O-O { Black's minor
pieces win. } 21. Rc1 Rfd8 22. Qe3 Nd5 23. Qe4 Ba3 24. Re1 Bb4 25. Rf1 a5 26. g4 Re8 27. Qd4 Rad8 28. Rd1 c5 29. Qd3 c4 30. Qxc4 Ne3 31. Rxd8 Rxd8 { White
resigned here. White's weak back rank will cost white his queen. } 32. Qb3 Rd1+ 33. Qxd1 Nxd1 { Black wins with a large material advantage. } 0-1
