1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bc5 4. c3 Nge7 5. O-O O-O 6. d4 exd4 7. cxd4 Bb6
8. d5 Nb8 9. d6
{
The present move is stronger, and offers a more lasting attack, than 9. Nc3 (I believe; "K. Kt. to B's 3rd" was specified in the source, but is clearly impossible).
}
9... cxd6
{
Black may here play ... Ng6 (the source again specified impossible moves here) which White would follow with 10. dxc7 Bxc7 11. Nc3 with a superior game.
}
10. Qxd6 Bc7 11. Qd3
{
Staunton suggests 11. Qa3 here, so that ... d5 can be answered by Rd1.
}
11... d5 12. Nc3 dxe4 13. Qxe4
{
If the Knight takes this Pawn, Black gains an advantage by ... Bf5.
}
13... Nbc6 14. Rd1 Qe8 15. Ng5 Bf5 16. Bxc6 bxc6 17. Qh4 Nd5 18. Nxd5 cxd5
19. Be3 Qb5 20. Bd4 Rfe8 21. Nf3 f6 22. Bxf6 gxf6 23. Qxf6 Bg6 24. Rac1 Bb6
25. h3 Re2 26. Nd4 Qxb2 27. Qc6
{
The only saving move, and one which at the same time imperils Black.
}
27... Ree8
{
The best move. ...  Rxf2 would perhaps been good, but ... Bxd4 would have lost the game e.g. 27. Qc6  Bxd4 28. Qxa8+ Kg7 (best) 29. Rc7+ Kh6 (interposing the Bishop would cost a piece) 30. Qf8+ Kh5 31. Qf3+ ...
}
