White - Robert Fineberg
Black - Novag Solo [Level 5]
Opening - QP Counter Gambit
1. P-K4, P-K4
2. N-KB3, P-Q4 [not seen much]
3. PxP, QxP
4. N-B3, Q-B4
5. P-Q4, PxP

11. N-K5, BxP?
12. 0-0, B-Q6?
13. KR-B, B-B7? [lost game from here]]
14. RxRch, KxR
15. NxBP(7)ch, K-K
16. NxR, K-Q2
17. N-B7, N-B3
18. N-K5ch, K-Q3
19. R-K, K-B4
20. B-N3, N-K5 [no chances after this move]
21 NxN, BxN
22. RxB, KxR
23. NxP and White wins an easy end game.
Black plays an opening with the Queen out early and
then allows Bishop Pawns to be weakened by not
blocking 8. B-QN5; this is followed by 13. ---, B-B7 losing
first the exchange and then a piece outright that
White can give back at his leisure for a winning end game.
This is not a very good example by the computer at one
of its highest levels.
