{This was a game that I was betting would be interesting. Both players are
sharp and creative.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 a6 {Probably a small surprise, but it
didn't take Salem long to answer.} 3. c4 Nc6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 e5 6. Nf5 {
The quickest route to d5. In a normal Sveshnikov the knight would to via
b5-a3-c2-e3-d5. This way White wins two tempi. However, since White is already
commited with c4, Black's position is playable.} d6 7. Nc3 g6 8. Ne3 Bh6 {
An exotic move, but logical. In this kind of position Black typically plays
Be7-g5 trying to exchange this bishop for a strong White piece.} (8... Bg7 {

recent game he went for:} 9. Bd3 Nf6 10. Ned5 Nxd5 11. Nxd5 {reaching a
Kalashnikov type of position. This may be slightly improved for White, but I
don't think there is a big difference.} O-O 12. Be3 Be6 13. Qd2 Rc8 14. O-O Ne7

Bracker,F (2427)-Sousa,H (2174) Fornebu 2016}) 9. g3 {A very natural novelty.
The bishop on g2 is not in the way of White's pieces and also protects the
e4-pawn, so the c3-knight can go to d5 at some point. It is a novelty in this
exact position, since 8...Bh6 is not the main move, but it's a reasonable plan
in a basic position with this structure.} (9. Bd3 {again is possible and

not really a sacrifice, since White can't take the pawn without suffering
serious consequences. Without the inclusion of 11...Rb8, Black's position has
more flexibility and Salem is right in trying to create immediate counterplay.}

players manage to castle!} (12. cxb5 axb5 13. Nxb5 Ba6 {is the point of
