Kemeri 1937
1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 d6 4. Nf3 Bg4 5. c4
The main alternative is 5. Be2.
5...Nb6 6. Be2!? dxe5 7. Nxe5 Bxe2 8. Qxe2 Qxd4 9. O-O N8d7 10. Nxd7
                  |
10...Nxd7?!
Better is 10...Qxd7.
11. Nc3 c6 12. Be3 Qe5 13. Rad1 e6 14. Qf3
With compensation.
14...O-O-O
Interesting is 14...Nb6 15. Bd4 Qc7.
15. Bxa7 Qa5 16. Bd4 Qf5 17. Qg3 e5 18. Be3 Bb4 19. Na4 Ba5 20. f4! Bc7 21. b3 f6 22. fxe5 Qe6 23. h3!?
Also possible is 23. Qxg7 Rhg8 24. Qxh7 Qxe5 25. Rxd7 Qxe3+ 26. Kh1 Rxd7 27. Qxg8+ Rd8 28. Qg4+ Kb8 with an extra pawn.

27...Nb8?
An error. Correct is 27... Qxa2.
28. Nb6+ Bxb6 29. cxb6 Qxa2 30. Qg3 Rd7?!
Or 30... Qf7 31. Ra1.
31. Bc5
White wins and after 31. Bxf6 Qf7 (31...gxf6 32.Rxd7 Kxd7 33. Qc7+ Ke6 34. Re1+) 32. Rxd7 Qxd7 33. Be5 Na6 34. b5 cxb5 35. Rc1+ Kd8 36. Bxg7.
31...Qf7 32. Ra1 Qg6 33. Qh2 Re5 34. Ra8 Rd2?!
Losing at once. After 34...Qe4 35. Qg3 Qd3 36. Rf3 or 34...Qg5 35. b5 cxb5 36. h4 Qd2 37. Qg3 the first player has a clear edge.

35. Rxb8+!
