Rick Wagner vs. Homeostatic Chess Player (min. level 6) on Dell Inspiron April 23 and 24, 2015 White Black 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 Queen's gambit accepted. A perfectly acceptable opening. 3. Nc3 c6 It's futile for black to try to hold on to the pawn. 4. a4 Be6 White's a4 is necessary. Black's move takes holding the pawn to the logical conclusion but leaves the book. 5. e4 Nf6 6. Nf3 Qa5 7. Bd2 Qb6 8. Qc2 Qb3 Nice try by black to exchange queens, but to properly punish him for clinging to the gambit pawn, white must 9. Qb1 Na6 avoid the trade. 10. Ra3 Qb6 11. Be2 Nb4 12. h3 O-O-O 13. Bf4 Nd3+ 14. Bxd3 cxd3 The black pawn is lost but there's no hurry in taking it. 15. b4 Qa6 16. O-O Nh5 17. Be3 Bc4 18. Rc1 Rg8 Lining up rooks against the kings, but white's attack strikes first. 19. b5 Qa5 20. Ne5 d2 21. Rc2 Be6 22. bxc6 Qb6 23. cxb7+ Kb8 Not king takes pawn because of Rb2. 24. Nb5 Kxb7 25. d5 d1=R+ Black promotes his pawn! 26. Qxd1 Qa6 27. Rc7+ Ka8 28. Rxa7+ Qxa7 It's all over now. 29. Nxa7 Nf6 30. Qc2 Nxd5 31. exd5 Bxd5 32. Rc3 Be6 33. Nxf7 Bxf7 34. Rc8+ Black resigns
