{[%mdl 2]} 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. d4 e6 3. Bg5 {This game was played in the last round
and early in the morning. This move allows a reduction in the time spent
preparing for the opening and the chance to get a playable position from the
first moves.} c5 4. e3 cxd4 5. exd4 Be7 6. Bd3 b6 $1 {I think this is the most
flexible and powerful placement for Black. A similar system was used in the
game Kamsky,G-Leko,P/Moscow 2008/0-1. Black is not rushing to to close the
pawn centre, preferring to develop all the pieces.} 7. Nbd2 Bb7 (7... Ba6 $6 8.

It looks unnatural, but this move allows me to keep the tension. It is logical
to look for other white moves:} (9. O-O O-O 10. Re1 {but here Black can
exchange the bishops, which will simplify the game.} Nd5 $5 $11) 9... Nbd7 {
Of course, now Black can't exchange the bishops, because I have a retreat on
d2.} (9... Nd5 10. Bd2) 10. Ng3 Qc7 11. Qe2 h6 12. Bd2 (12. Bf4 $5 {

on the prearranged plan.} g5 $5 13. Bd2 g4 14. Nh4 O-O-O $13) 12... O-O 13. O-O
Rfe8 14. Rae1 Bf8 {Black's pieces are located in successful positions; the
next pawn move e6-e5 is predictable.} 15. Qd1 e5 16. Nh4 $5 {I needed to plan
this move in advance. I think this position is equal, but I was happy to get a
position with a lot of pieces on the board! Our team needed only a victory in
this game!} exd4 {This move simplifies the position.} (16... e4 $5 {looked
more principled:} 17. Bb5 a6 18. Ba4 b5 19. Bc2 Nb6 20. Nhf5 (20. f3 $5) 20...

most logical continuation of the past plan would be the exchange of rooks:} (
17... Rxe1 18. Rxe1 Re8 19. Rxe8 Nxe8 20. Nhf5 {The white pieces are much more
active, but creating an attack without rooks will be difficult.}) 18. Nhf5 Qc6

still not too late to exchange the major pieces, though in a worse way.} (18...

Now all the white pieces come into play, and Black can't exchange all of his
rooks.} b5 (20... Rxe1 21. Qxe1 $1 Re8 22. Qd2 $36) 21. Qd2 {Up to a certain
moment all White's moves look very natural and logical. This position is
pleasant for me in that I can play on two flanks.  Black should always be
thinking about the sacrifice of pieces on h6, and he should also be fearing
the invasion of the white rook on the c-file.} Rxe1 22. Rxe1 Re8 23. Rc1 Qb6

defensive resource.} (28... Ne4 $6 29. h4 $5 Nd6 30. g5 $40) 29. Qg3 {This
move is forcing the game, from now on forward only! It was possible to return

move. I am ready to give up pawns on the queenside, but my rook is beginning
to create dangerous threats.} Qxa2 33. Rc7 {I can't blame myself for this move.
It was hard to find the strong prophylactic move:} (33. Ng1 $3 {The game
continues, White's chances are a little higher.}) 33... Qxb2 $2 {This move
can't be called a big mistake considering the major time pressure. Black can
