14       [Next]	cxd4
15       [Next]	Qb6
16       [Next]	The "book" choices for white are to play g3 or Ne2.
17       [Next]	Bb4
18       [Next]	This is a pretty common opening position in this line of the french.
19       [Next]	O-O
20       [Next]	Bd3
21       [Next]	f6
22       [Next]	a3
23       [Next]	The white move a3 seems to be the key to his strategy. He will either compel white to give up his "good" bishop or give the "good bishop few squares to move to as black is alread cramped.
24       [Next]	Na4
25       [Next]	Qd8
26       [Next]	O-O
27       [Next]	fxe5
28       [Next]	White is compelled to take with the f pawn, otherwise he gives black a protected passed pawn on d5.
29       [Next]	a6
30       [Next]	Black's move of a6 would appear to be a waste of time.
31       [Next]	h6
32       [Next]	Be3
33       [Next]	Fritz thinks that black should play Qe8 here.
34       [Next]	Here Fritz sees a really deep combination begining with Nxb6 and Bh7+. It plans to put the queen on g6 and sacrifice the dark square bishop on h6. At the moment it is not clear to me if this wins. Fritz also cosniders Nh4! to be a viable sacrifice!
35       [Next]	Bd7
36       [Next]	Fritz likes either Qe2 or Rad1 and says += for White because of his space advantage. In the short run black should worry about the safety of his kingside, but in the long run White has a weak pawn on d4. Black should keep his dark square bishop so that he can attack the weak white pawns on dark squares in the endgame.
37       [Next]	Fritz thinks that the best move here is Be8.
38       [Next]	Allowing the exchanges causes all Hell to break loose for Black.
39       [Next]	Black should not trade rooks because that allows more pressure to bear on his kingside.
40       [Next]	Rxf1
41       [Next]	hxg5
42       [Next]	Qg6
43       [Next]	Qe8 must be played here, allowing Qxg5.
44       [Next]	Bd3
45       [Next]	1-0
