1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 O-O 5. O-O c5

Here Black is hoping that White will play 6. d5 allowing Black to transpose into a Benko Gambit or some other kind of Benoni Defense.

6. dxc5 Qa5 7. Be3 Na6 8. Qd2 Qc7

Black declines trading queens and keeps pressure on the White pawn at c5.

9. b4? Ne4!

White's last move was an attempt to hang onto the extra pawn, but it ends up costing White the exchange. White's Queen and Queen's Rook are both en prise (subject to attack) and thus White loses the Rook for a Knight.

 10. Qd3 Bxa1 11. Qxe4 d6

Black is now trying to open up the Queenside to take advantage of his extra material and to bring his Knight off the edge of the board.

12. Bh6 Bg7 13. Bxg7 Kxg7

White has traded his "bad" Bishop for Black's "strong" Bishop. The dark squares around the Black King are now weak. Even so, White cannot take advantage of that weakness anytime soon.

14. Qd4+ f6 15. b5? Nxc5

Black is now up a Rook versus a Knight. Black still need to develop his Bishop and get his rooks into the game. White still needs to get his Queen's Knight and King's Rook into the game. White's pawn on b5 is now a bit of a target.

16. Qb2 Be6 17. Ng5 Bg8

The Black Bishop controls the light squares from c4 to g8 and attacks White's pawn on a2 as well as guards his own pawn on h7. Black has now developed his Bishop and connected his rooks. White still needs to get the Queen Knight into the game.

18. e4 e5 19. Nh3 Na4!

Black has broken the pin on his f6 pawn and blocked the diagonal the the White Queen is Black King are on. White's knights are both out of play on the edge of the board and his Queen is under attack (en prise). White cannot defend the pawn on c2 and thus Black gains more material.

20. Qa3 Qxc2 21. Rc1 Qxa2

Now the Bishop aimed at a2 comes into play. Black is up a Rook and 2 pawns for a Knight.

22. Qxd6 Rfd8 23. Qe7+ Qf7

Black wants to trade queens here and then trade down into a won endgame. White obliges.

24. Qxb7?? Qxb7 25. Na3 Nb6 0-1

White blundered away too much material. This game is a perfect example of how NOT to play against the King's Indian Defense!
