1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 Nbd7 5.Qc2 Be7 6.cxd5 exd5 7.Bf4 c6 8.h3! This position is known as a good version of this structure for White. The bishop on f4 participates very well in the game, and thanks to the h3 move, it finds the refuge of the h2 square if necessary. 0-0 9.e3 Re8 10.Bd3 g6 11.0-0 Nf8 12.Rab1 a5 13.a3 Ne6 14.Be5 14.Bh2!? 14...Bd6 15.b4 axb4 16.axb4 White is simply better here. b5 17.Bxd6 Qxd6 18.Ne5 Nd7 19.f4!?
