It is annotated in great detail in the book, "Secrets of Grandmaster Play" by Nunn and Griffiths. [Event "European Team Championship"] [Site ""] [Date "1977"] [Round ""] [White "Augustin J."] [Black "Nunn J."] [Result "0-1"] [BlackElo ""] [WhiteElo ""] [ECO ""] 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. g3 Bc5 4.

Ke3 Bg4 0-1 How do programs eval white's chances after Black's move 12 ... Nxd5 after about a 10 minute think? Also if you play over this game in analysis mode, check your program's choice for black on move 16. Will they go for the material with 16 ... Nxg2 17.Kxg2 Bh3+ and Bxf1?
