1.e4 e5 2.Sf3 Sc6 3.Lb5 a6 4.La4 Sf6 5.0–0 b5 6.Lb3 Lc5 7.a4 Tb8 [7…Sxe4? 8.axb5+–]
8.c3 d6 [8…Sxe4?! 9.d4!]
9.d4 Lb6 10.a5 [10.Le3 0–0 11.a5!?N new but really interesting, I was wondering about that move order during the game 11…Sxa5 12.Txa5 Lxa5 13.dxe5 Sg4 14.Lg5 De8 15.exd6 cxd6 16.Dxd6 Tb7]
10…La7 11.Le3 [11.h3! Vishnu-Kramer RTU 2019 is more dangerous I believe]
11…Lg4 12.dxe5 [12.d5 Lxe3 13.fxe3 Se7 14.Sbd2 (14.h3 Lxf3 15.Dxf3) 14…0–0 15.h3 Ld7 is fine for black; 12.Sbd2 exd4! is stronger (12…0–0 is played more often but 13.dxe5! (13.h3 exd4 14.cxd4 Lh5 15.g4 Lg6) 13…dxe5 14.De1) 13.cxd4 0–0 (13…Sxd4? 14.Lxd4 Lxd4 15.Lxf7+ Kxf7 16.Db3+ Kf8 17.Sxd4+–) ]
12…Lxf3 13.Dxf3 [13.gxf3 dxe5! (13…Lxe3 14.fxe3 (14.exf6? Lf4; 14.Lxf7+!? Kxf7 15.exf6 Lf4 16.Dd5+ Kf8 17.Dxc6 gxf6 unclear position, can maybe be better played by either color) 14…dxe5) 14.De2 0–0 15.Td1 De7]
13…Sxe5 14.De2 Lxe3 [14…c5? c7–c5 only without the a7 bishop and whites bishop pair of course 15.c4! 0–0 16.Sc3 b4 17.Sd5 Sxd5 18.exd5 Te8 19.La4 Te7 20.b3 Dxa5 21.f4 Sg6 22.f5+– for instance]
15.Dxe3 0–0 16.Sd2 [16.f4 Sc4 17.Lxc4 bxc4=]
16…Te8 17.Tfe1 [17.f4 Sc4 18.Sxc4? (18.Lxc4!=) 18…bxc4 19.Lxc4 Txe4 20.Dd3 Txb2 21.Lxa6? Da8–+ is what I calculated, black has too many threats]
17…c5 18.Sf1 [18.f4! Sc6! (18…Sc4?! 19.Lxc4! (19.Sxc4?! Txe4 20.Dd3 bxc4 21.Lxc4 Txe1+ 22.Txe1 d5 (22…Txb2 23.Lxa6 h5) 23.Lxa6 Dxa5) 19…bxc4 20.e5 dxe5 21.fxe5 Sg4 22.Df4 Sxe5 23.Txe5+–) 19.Lc2 And I like both positions]
18…Sc6 19.Sg3 Sxa5 20.La2 [critical moment for black during the game in my opinion]
20…g6?! [20…c4! 21.Tad1 (21.Sf5 Txe4 22.Dg5 g6; 21.Lb1! is the computers first choice) 21…g6! (21…De7 22.Dg5 Df8) 22.Dd4 Te6 (22…Tb6? 23.e5) 23.f4 (23.e5 De7!–+ is what I missed or forgot about during the game ) 23…Sc6 24.Dd2]
21.b4!= cxb4 22.cxb4 Sc6 [22…Sc4!? 23.Lxc4 bxc4 24.Txa6 Sd5! another move I missed (24…Txb4?! 25.Dc3= Tb3 (25…Sd5 26.exd5) 26.Dxc4 Tb6 is what I calculated and here whites position is a bit more easy to play) 25.Dd4 Sxb4 26.Txd6 White has not equalized completely]
23.Dd2 De7 24.Lb3 Ta8 25.Ted1 Ted8 26.h3 Se5 27.Tac1 Tac8 28.Txc8 Txc8 29.Dg5 [29.Dxd6 Dxd6 30.Txd6 Tc3!? (30…Tc1+ 31.Kh2 Tb1 32.Txf6 Txb3 33.Txa6 Txb4 prefers black)]
29…Kf8 30.Dh6+ Ke8 31.Dd2 Sc4?! [31…Kf8!]
32.Dd4?! [32.Da2! Tc6! 33.Lxc4 bxc4 34.b5 axb5 35.Da8+ Kd7 36.Db7+ Tc7 37.Dxb5+ Kc8= that line has to be found for black in time trouble and white has practical chances, so I got a bit lucky here he didnt go for that one]
32…Tc7 33.f4 Kf8 34.Tc1 h5! 35.Te1 h4? [35…d5! 36.e5 Dxb4–+]
36.Sh1 [36.Se2!]
36…Kg8 37.Sf2 Sh5 [37…d5]
38.Sg4 f5!? [That whole time has been played in huge time trouble and is really complicated][38…d5!?]
39.Se3 Dxe4 [39…Sxf4! 40.exf5 De5 41.Db6 unklar]
40.Dd1? [40.Dxd6=]
40…Sxf4!–+ 41.Dxd6 Tf7? [41…Te7! 42.Dd8+ Te8]
42.Dd8+ Tf8 43.Dxh4?? [43.Dg5! Kg7 44.Sc2 (44.Lc2 Dd4) 44…Se2+ 45.Kf2 Df4+ 46.Dxf4 Sxf4–+]
43…Se2+
0–1
