1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.c4 e6 4.Nc3 Nbd7 5.Qc2 dxc4 6.e4 Nb6!? An interesting and ambitious move. 7.Be3 White solidifies the pride of his position: The center! 7.Bxc4 It´s not a special move here. Nxc4 8.Qa4+ c6 9.Qxc4 b5! 10.Qxc6+ Bd7 11.Qb7 Rb8 12.Qxa7 Ra8 12...b4!? 13.Qb7 Rb8= 7...Bb4 8.Be2 8.a3!? Bxc3+ 9.bxc3 Bd7 10.a4 Bc6 11.Nd2 a5 12.f3 8...Bd7 9.Ne5 Qe7 10.a4! ≤10.Nxc4 Nxc4 11.Bxc4 c5! 10...a5 11.0-0 0-0 A natural move that gives White the initiative. 11...c5! Black needed to first contest the white center, and only then castle. 12.dxc5 Bxc5 13.Bg5 Qd6! 13...Bd6 14.Nxd7 Nbxd7! 15.Nb5 0-0 16.Nxd6 Qxd6 17.Rfd1!? Qe5 18.Be3 Rfc8 19.Rd4! 14.Bf4 Qe7! 15.Nxc4 0-0 16.Nxb6 Bxb6 17.Rad1 And even after a lot of good moves by Black,the position is still more pleseant for White in my opinion. 12.Nxc4 Nxc4 13.Bxc4 e5! 14.dxe5 Qxe5 15.f3 White has a small but comfortable advantage here thanks to his bigger control of central squares. Bc5 16.Qf2 16.Nd5!? Bxe3+ 17.Nxe3 c6 18.Rfd1 b5 19.Bf1 16...Bxe3 17.Qxe3 Rad8 18.Rad1 Bc6?! 18...Be6! 19.Bxe6 fxe6! And Black finally equalize. 19.b3 Qe7 20.Ne2 Nd7 21.Nd4 Qc5 22.Kf2 Ne5 23.Be2 Bd7 24.Rd2 Qe7 25.Rfd1 Bc8 26.Qc3 Qh4+? The losing move. 27.Kg1 Qg5 28.f4‼ Qxf4 29.Ne6! fxe6 30.Rxd8+- Qf2+ 31.Kh1 1–0
