and white resigns (up the exchange) in view of ....Bd6 after being forced to g3. I don't think we have to worry about a bust to the QGD, but I did have fun offering the exchange sacrifice in various multiple ways, and leaving pieces enprise. Tim, later took up the Colle System and scored very well with it!

PS) I never told Tim; moving his knight five times in the first twenty moves only to exchange it, needlessly not castling, and taking risky moves just to avoid an isolated pawn, might have assisted in his Queen's Gambits "decline?" I was too happy to have him believe that after 1)P-Q4   2)P-QB4 is a mistake!
