IM Mikhail Zlotnikov (FIDE 2367) - NM Mackenzie Molner (FIDE 2293), NJ Futurity International 7/9/2007
1.c4 e5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 c6 4.Nf3 e4 5.Nd4 d5 6.cxd5 Qxd5 7.Nc2 Qh5 8.h3 Qg6 9.Nc3 Bd6 10.Ne3 0-0 11.Qc2 Re8 12.b3 Na6 13.a3 Nc7 14.Bb2?!
Zlotnikov should have chased the dark-squared bishop with 14.Nc4 Bf8, as in Johansen-Steedman, Norwegian Championship 2006, won by White in 40 moves.
14...Ncd5 15.Nexd5 cxd5 16.Nb5?
This move loses, but it is difficult to suggest anything better as 16.O-O-O runs into 16...Bf5, 17...Rfc8, and 18...b5.
16...Bxg3! 17.fxg3 Qxg3+ 18.Kf1 e3 19.dxe3 Ne4 20.Bxe4 Rxe4 21.Bd4 Bxh3+ 22.Rxh3 Qxh3+ 23.Ke1 Qh1+ 24.Kf2 Qh2+ 25.Kf1 Rxd4, White resigns.
After 26.exd4 Qh1+ 27.Kf2 Qxa1, Black will be up an exchange and a pawn.
