1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 c6 4. f4 e5 {This pawn push is premature and Queena may have been guilty of trying to play by the book, only to forget the correct move order.}5. dxe5 Ng4 6. f5 {Possibly not the best. I wasn't keen on black's queen coming to b6 or h4, however Be2 may have been better and white should retain his pawn.} Nxe5 7. Nf3 Nbd7 8. Be3 Qe7 {This seems dubious and makes it difficult for the f8 bishop to get into the game.} 9. Qd2 Nxf3+ {Tempting but this will help white in the long run because now white will get to play f4 at the right moment.} 10. gxf3 Ne5 11. Be2 Bd7 12. O-O-O {Not the immediate 12. f4?! Ng4! 13. Bxg4 Qh4+ winning back the piece with a playable position.} b5 {Very nice move from Queena. It seems to come up just short but b5 is a move that shows a great deal of foresight. Firstly, it allows the knight on e5 to jump to c4 should white play f4. Secondly, should white then capture on c4 black will then play bxc4 and open up the b-file to attack white's king. It also threatens b4, which could be uncomfortable.} 13. f4 Nc4 14. Bxc4 bxc4 {At first glance, this looks extremely risky but white can win a pawn immediately and I couldn't see a way for black to drum up an attack any time soon.} 15. Qd4 c5 {Probably a bit suspect. It forces white to play a move he was going to play anyway and it gives white the d5 square should he want it.} 16. Qxc4 Bc6 17. Rhe1 Qb7 18. e5 Rb8 {This looks menacing but white can let black capture on b2.} 19. exd6 Qxb2+ 20. Kd2 {This position is lost for black. White threatens a horrible discovered check and also threatens to win the b8 rook by playing Rb1. Black should try to hold on by playing Qb7 but it looks grim.} Bxd6 21. Rb1 {Much better than capturing on c5 right away.} Qa3 {The only safe square for the queen, at least for one move!} 22. Bxc5+ 1-0
