Nc3 Qe6+ $2 {loses time - in my first ever game with David Cole at the 1995 county championships, he played 5....Qe5+?! and got into a similarly bad position - simply 5.....Qd8 is best} 6. Be2 Nf6 7. d4 Nd5 8. Nf3 Nc6 9. O-O g6 10. Ng5 { White needs to play sharply to exploit Black falling behind in development} Qd7 11. Re1 $5 Bg7 $2 {he had to play 11.....h6} 12. Bc4 $1 {Black is now practically lost} e6 {this would work if he had another move and could castle, but....} 13. Nxd5 {White is now decisive material up, but still has to play correctly} O-O 14.
