{White scored an impressive victory in this game. While Black was able to exit
the opening phase without problems, in the middlegame the two sides began a
series of sharp moves resulting in a fluctuating assessment of the position on
the board. Despite the difficult-to-gauge nature of the position, it was White
who demonstrated a better reaction to the dynamics at hand. At a critical
stage, Black blundered and White made no mistake in benefitting from the
opportunity.} 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. g3 b6 4. Bg2 Bb7 5. O-O c5 6. b3 Be7 7.

{A much more complex game than Koneru-Muminova, but one that strikes a
surprising similarity. Here too the winning side took advantage of a powerful
passed pawn on the queenside to win the game. Black's passed c-pawn kept her
opponent's bishop passive for the entirety of the game, and although the win
was slow in coming the result of the game was never really in question.} 1. c4

{The game starts with many transpositions, so I will try to comment from the
point where the position is more or less clarified and we get some known
position:} 1. c4 e6 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 b6 {Here already it's a very big and old
line, with many transpositions, for example d4 transposes to the main lines.}
4. Bg2 Bb7 {In the evnt of d4 now, we get the ...Bb7 line of the very well
known system, where Black mostly goes for ...Ba6, but here he has the bishop
already standing on b7. I decided to go for a somwehat less clear-cut
structure.} 5. O-O Be7 {Who will be first to make central pawn moves, after
which, positions and plans will be more clear?} 6. b3 O-O 7. Bb2 d5 {Black
decides to the clarify structure first. I was expecting him to do so, because
there are not so many useful moves left.} 8. e3 {A flexible centre. White
still hasn't decided where to put the d-pawn. It depends on Black's choice too.
} Nbd7 {Alekseev puts pieces in a very natural way. Now Black's position looks
very flexible and he has to decide which plan to come up with.} 9. Nc3 a6 10.
Qe2 {I did this to pressurize d5 for a while, as cxd5 is in the offing now.}
Bd6 {The setup Bd6-Qe7 is very natural, followed by ...Ba3 or an e-pawn march.}
11. d3 {Again flexibility. Now e4, cxd5 followed by e4, or the plan invented
in the game is threatened.} Qe7 (11... c5 {this is possible, but I still would
prefer White.}) 12. Nh4 $5 g6 (12... Ba3 {To exchange the b2-bishop and

g4-g5 or e4-e5. The e5-square is very weak now and f5 is coming in many lines.

misunderstands White's plan.} 14. e4 $1 dxe4 15. Nxe4 $1 {Three strong moves
in a row and White is really better now.} (15. dxe4 $2 {just gives blockading

start with Nf3 already. But I wasn't in a hurry. Now Qb2 becomes a threat as
Bc5-d4-Ba3 is not possible anymore, due to White's king position on h1 and
there is no check after Qb2 by Bc5 to close the a1-h8 diagonale.} (20. Nf3 $5

the maximum.} 22. d4 $1 Qf8 23. Nf3 Qh6 24. Kg1 {It was already very hard to
keep up the defence here with Black. c5 is threatened, Ne5 is coming,
