1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d4!?
A sharp reply. The analysis engines Stockfish14.1 and Komodo12.1.1. prefer 4.Nc3 or 4.d3.
4...fxe4 5.Bxc6
5.Nxe5!? leads to wild play after 5...Nxe5 6.dxe5 c6 7.Nc3!?
5...exf3?
Black should recapture on c6 with either the d or b pawn.
6.Bxf3 exd4 7.Qxd4 Nf6 8.Nc3 Be7 9.Bf4?!
My originally intended 9.Nd5 is almost certainly stronger.
9...0-0?
Black is fine after 9...c6, with ...d5 to come.
10.Qc4+ Kh8 11.Bxc7 Qe8 12.0-0 Qg6 13.Rfe1 d5!?
Desperation - but Black's game is horrible in any case.
14.Nxd5 Nxd5 15.Bxd5 Bh4?? 16.Bg3??
A ridiculous case of chess blindness by both players (16.Qxh4 wins a piece).
16...Bxg3 17.hxg3 Bf5 18.Re2 Rac8 19.Qb4 Bxc2 20.Bxb7 Rb8 21.Rae1 Bd3 22.Re6?
Better is 22.Re7, but White still has a large advantage after the text.
22...Qf7

23.Qd4?
White still has a large advantage after 23.Re7 Qxf2+ 24.Kh2.
23...Rxb7 24.Qxd3 Qxf2+ 25.Kh2 Rxb2 26.R1e2 Rxe2 27.Rxe2 Qf6 28.Qe3 a6 29.Qe6 Qxe6 30.Rxe6 Ra8 31.Kg1
ALH offered a draw.
31...Kh8 32.Re7 Kf8 33.Rd7 Rc8 34.Rd6 a5 35.Rd5 a4 36.Rd4 a3 37.Rd3 Ra8 38.Kf2 Ke7 39.Ke3 h5 40.Rb3 Kd6 41.Rb7 g5 42.Rh7 Rb8 43.Ra7 Rb2 44.Rxa3 Rxg2
Two pawns have left the board, but the position remains as it has been for many moves - dead-equal.
45.Kf3 Rc2 46.Rd3+ Ke5 47.Ra3 g4+ 48.Ke3 Rg2 49.Ra5+ Kf6 50.Rxh5 Rxg3+ 51.Kf4 Ra3 52.Rh6+ Kg7 53.Rh2 Ra4+ 54.Kg5 g3 55.Rg2 Ra3 56.Kf4 Kf6
