light-squared bishop proves to be the boss.} 13. Bg4 Qg6 14. e6 {Such moves
are easy and also very enjoyable, to play. Black's bishop is buried for a long
time, and his position collapses. It seems that Pengxiang suddenly began to
realise how bad his position was, and he did not display the usual Chinese
stubbornness in defence.} Nf6 $6 ({Stronger was} 14... h5 15. Bh3 f6 {and at

{When I was asked to analyse my games from the Prague Masters 2020, it was a
rather easy choice for me! The only game where I played well and won was from
round 9. Unfortunately, I won against Navara David who had a small chance to
share the first place had he won against me. I, on the other hand, was on -1
and hoping to finish on 50% :)  It is always difficult for us to play against
each other. It is funny we prepared many openings together, and yet we keep
finding new variations to play! Usually it is David who suprises me with
opening choices. In this game I decided to play something unusual.} 1. d4 d5 2.
c4 dxc4 {This is the first suprise for David. I usually play the QGA usually
in rapid or blitz. To be honest, I am not a fan of this opening :)} 3. Nf3 ({
I prefer} 3. e4 {, on the other hand it is difficult to remember all the
details if White is not prepared!}) 3... Nf6 (3... a6 {I was considering to
play this. I felt there is no risk for White here and at best Black can hope
for is a draw.} 4. e3 b5 5. a4 Bb7 6. b3 e6 7. bxc4 (7. axb5 axb5 8. Rxa8 Bxa8

and I felt this surprise would give me chances.} 5. Bxc4 (5. h3 {White can
include h3-Bh5 if he wants, we will reach similar position to the game.} Bh5 6.

he should be slightly better I feel. David goes for the direct approach.} (6.

sufficient counter chances for the pawn. I doubt any White player will take
this way.}) 6... Nbd7 7. O-O Be7 8. e4 (8. h3 {I feel this is right way to
start as ...Bxf3 is no longer an option for Black here.} Bh5 9. e4 O-O 10. Bb3

here.}) 8... O-O 9. e5 {By this time David was spending lot of time on every
move. I felt he was not feeling comfortable with the position. I do not like
the e5 move simply because if Black manages to regroup, the d4 pawn is a big
weakness and a black knight can occupy the beautiful d5 square.} (9. h3 {
Here it is not as effective as one move earlier.} Bxf3 10. Qxf3 c5 11. e5 Ne8

intended this kind of position when I went for this variation. I felt Black's
play is easier than White's. To my surprise the engine still prefers White. I
cannot disobey the silicon monster :)} 12. g4 {I don't like this move. I don't
see any clear plan for White in terms of improving his pieces. If he cannot do
that, then g4 is a clear weakness.} (12. Bd3 Nb6 13. Ne4 Nd5 14. Ng3 Bxf3 15.

worse. The Be4 controls a lot of important squares. White's king suddenly
looks exposed.} 23. Qe1 Qf7 24. Bd2 Qg6 25. Qh4 Rd7 26. Qh5 Qxh5 27. gxh5 Nc7

to resign as Black is simply two pawns up with the king going to c4. I could
understand his desire to somehow survive as it was the last round and he still
had a chance to share the first place.  I want to thank the organisers at the
Novy Bor Chess Club for organising a high level event with an interesting
field. With each year, the organisation is learning and improving the
conditions.} 0-1

this continuation allows Black to go for complications at a relatively low
cost.} 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 Bg4 {In this structure, Black's light-squared bishop
is most efficiently placed on b7, where it has control over the diagonal h1-a8.
