1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3 0-0 6.Be2 c5 7.Ne5 The white opening setup is pretty unassuming, but it does have the potential for piece play with it's quick development. 7...cxd4 8.exd4 Be6 9.Qd2 Nc6 10.Nxc6 bxc6 11.0-0 Nd7 12.Na4 (=) Redpath, true to his style, offers an early draw. Keely obviously didn't have an early train to catch. 12...Qc8 13.b4 The c5 square is under wraps, but the black c6-pawn is not yet a problem, as the c-file is not open. Still, black is not doing a great job of finding a plan, and keeping the ...c6-c5 break under wraps keeps him thinking. 13...h5?! There is an idea behind this move that will become apparent later, but it is hardly worth this weakening. As I said earlier, the white pieces can be quickly deployed for a kingside attack if necessary, and ...h5 only makes this more tempting. Note that the queen on c8 is doing nothing after the ...c5 break had been quashed. 14.Rfe1 Bf5 15.c3 Redpath keeps everything solid, though I was rather attracted to a Ra1-b1-b3 rook lift idea. White is still comfortable here, and his patience is rewarded. 15...e5? The ...e5 break naturally comes into black's plans, but here black falls into a neat coup. 13...h5 was aimed against g4, which might have met ...Bf5, but it becomes clear that the cure is worse than the condition. 16.dxe5 Nxe5 17.Bxe5 Bxe5 18.Bxh5!
