To decline the Gambit is here all the stronger, as White has not even the bold attack b5 at his disposal.} 6.a4 a6 7.a5 Ba7 8.c3 Qf6 9.d3 Nge7 10.Be3 Bg4 11.Nbd2 Ng6 {This kind of counter attack was originated by Zukertort. If White now should exchange the strongly poste B at a7, he would get into a serious plight after Nf4 and his Queen's side Pawns would remain weak, without any compensation. But it would be probably stronger to play firrst h6 and g5.} 12.Bg5 Qxg5 13.Nxg5 Bxd1 14.Bxf7+ Ke7 15.Raxd1 {A remarkably feeble move. 15.Bxg6, was obvious. Then if 15...Be2 16.Rfe1 Bxd3 17.Nxh7, the issue of the game was not at all clear; e.g.: 17...d5 18.h4 d4 19.Rac1 Kd6 or Rad8 20.h5; or else 17...Nd8 18.g3 Ne6 19.Kg2, followed soon by h4.} Nf4 16.Bc4 Ne2+ 17.Kh1 Nxc3 18.Rde1 Nxb4 19.Ne6 Nxd3 0-1
