It features the Cozio defence to the Spanish

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nge7 4. 0-0 Ng6 5. d4 exd4 6. Nxd4 Bc5 7. Be3 Bxd4 8. Bxd4 Nxd4 9. Qxd4 Qg5 10. Nc3 Nh4

Move 10 is the blunder, with 10. Qd5 and 10. e5 maintaining an edge for white according to engines.

11. g3 avoids the mate, but allows .. Nf3+ giving a +9 assessment to Black.
