Position after:

White: Danny Gormally
Black: Matthew Turner

Hampstead (m/2) 2001
Philidor Defence C41
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 exd4 4 Qxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 Be7 6 Bf4 0-0 7 0-0-0 Bg4 8 Be2 Nc6 9 Qe3 Qc8 10 h3 Bxf3 11 Qxf3 a6 12 g4 Ne5 13 Qg3 Ng6 14 Be3 Qe6 15 Bd3 Ne5 16 f4 Nxd3+ 17 cxd3 Ne8 18 f5 Qe5 19 Qf2 Qa5 20 g5!
White's advanced pawns on the kingside give him a clear advantage in the race to attack the opponent's king.
20...c6 21 h4 Bd8 22 Kb1 b5 23 h5 b4 24 Ne2 Nc7 25 Nd4 c5 26 Nc2 Qb5 27 Qg3 Ne8?!
I don't like the looks of this move, although it has to be said that Black is already in trouble.
28 f6! c4 29 dxc4 Qxc4 30 Nd4 Bc7 31 Ka1 b3 32 axb3 Qb4 33 fxg7 Nxg7 34 g6 fxg6 35 hxg6 Qa5+ 36 Kb1 Qe5 37 Qxe5 dxe5 38 Rxh7! Rf6
Or 38...exd4 39 Bxd4 Rf7 40 Rdh1 and Black can resign.
39 Nf5 Rxg6 40 Rxg7+ 1-0
White wins a piece after 40...Rxg7 41 Nxg7 Kxg7 42 Rd7+.
