1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 The Scotch! 3... exd4 4. Nxd4 Bb4+ Not a bad move. White can gain a tempo with c3. 5. Bd2 Bxd2+ 6. Qxd2 Nf6 7. Nc3 a6 7...a6? This move achieves keeping the Bishop off b5 but Black is by no means worse with the the White Bishop on B5 8. Nf5 On the face of it, this move looks nasty! But Black is really ok after 8...O-O 9.Qg5 Ne8! Forcing the trade of Queens 8... Rg8 ?? Black is now AT LEAST 3 moves away from castling 9. Bc4 Solid devoluping and attacking move 9... Ne5 10. Bb3 d6 11. O-O This is a gor geous sacrifice of the e pawn. There is plenty of compensation. And the despardo (after 11...Nxe4) Nxg7+ doesn't work because Rxg7 13.Nxe4 Nf3+!! Winning the Queen 11... Nxe4 12. Nxe4 Bxf5 Black won a pawn 13. Rfe1 Excellent move. Defending an devoluping at the same time 13... g5 Black has to do something to prevent f4 14. Qd5 ! This move is strong. White has 2 threats. One evens material, the other blows the game wide open! 14... Rb8 ? Defends the minor threat. And now White has a "Tal-like combination" Can you find it? 15. Nxd6+ Qxd6 pxd6 16. Qxf7# 16. Qxf7+ This move wins BOTH rooks! 16... Kd8 17. Qxg8+ Black Resigns 17... Kd7 18. Qxb8 1-0
