Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 O-O 5. Bd2 {Abhijeen has played this system in his previous game succesfully, so I wasn't too surprised to see him repeat it. White is going for a complex middlegame and gives Black a lot of different options.} d5 {Other setups are also very valid, but I went for the main-line.} 6. Nf3 b6 {The main setup here. 6...Nbd7!? has been played a lot as well, but Karthikeyan failed to equalize against Abhijeet in the round 1.} 7. cxd5 exd5 8. Rc1 {Also possible is to start with 8.Bd3, or not include 7.cxd5. The idea of 8.Rc1 is to be able to meet 8...Bd6 with 9.Nb5, gaining the bishop pair.} c5 $5 {This is very risky, with the bishop not inside the pawn chain on d6 or e7, but having looked at this with the latest engines, it appeared to me that it could be a good choice for this game.} 9. Be2 {This better square for the bishop. Naive would be 9.Bd3?! when 9...c4! comes with a tempo.} ({RR} 9. Ne5 c4 10. b3 Bxc3 11. Bxc3 b5 12. a4 a6 13. Be2 Ne4 14. Bb4 Re8 15. O-O f6 16. Bh5 fxe5 17.

Qc2 {This feels slightly off. 13.Qe1!? trying to setup some trickery felt more to the point.} Nc6 14. Bf3 {The bishop is in the way of the f-pawn and in fact Black is happy to play 14...Ne7 anyway, preparing Bf5.} Ne7 {This makes the whole sequence of 13.Qc2 and 14.Bf3 look rather counterproductive.} 15. b3 Bf5 {A nice tempo. Black is now fully mobilized.} 16. Qb2 Rab8 {Everything is protected and White achieved nothing with his play. Black is clearly for choice already.} 17. axb5 axb5 18. g4 $2 {Ambitious, but it's a blunder. In fact I saw is in advance, as it bothered me a little at first.} (18. bxc4 bxc4 19. Ne2 {(or any other sensible knight move for that matter) would keep Black's edge minimal. The protected passer on c4 is an asset, but it's pretty well blocked and with some pieces coming off, White should still be able to hold thing together.}) 18...

Bxg4 Qg6 21. f3 f5 {is going to be game over.}) 20... Bxf3 $5 {I felt there might be an objectively cleaner win, but this was too pretty, plus I didn't see any defense for White. The nature of the event kind of suggested that playing for the crowd was the right way to go and I'm glad it worked out well.} (20... Nxd5 21. Bxd5 Qg6 {wins pretty trivially actually, as well.} 22. Kh1 {and now both, 22...Qh5, followed by Bf3 and Rb6, but also 22...Qd6!? with idea 23.Bg2 Ba3! would win on the spot.}) 21. Nxb6 Rxb6 {The bishop on f3 is from a puzzle book. White is helpless, as the king finds itself in a mating net.} 22. Rfd1 {The only way to avoid immediate checkmate. The king now has the escape path via f1-e1-d2.} Rg6+ 23. Kf1 Bd6 $1 {The point. Now White has to deal with Bxh2 Rg1 mating ideas.} 24. Ba5 Nd5 $1 {The knight is joining, to lock up the cage around the king with Nf6-Ne4.} 25. bxc4 bxc4 {I recaptured automatically and then noticed that 25...Nf6! was winning as well. Fortunately, White is helpless here as well.} 26. Ke1 {The king tries to run, but he is not in time.} Rb8 {Gaining a tempo on the queen.} 27. Qc2 c3 $1 {Shutting the door for the king on e1. Now White must take the pawn and the forced line ends with Black being up a full bishop for no compensation.} 28. Bxc3 Nxc3 29. Qxc3 Bb4 {Offering the hope for back rank checkmate after 30.Qxb4 Rxb4?? 31.Rc8#, but obviously it is not happening.} 30. Qxb4 Rg1+ $1 31. Kd2 Rxd1+ {The intermezzo decides.} 32. Rxd1 Rxb4 33.
