1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. g3 O-O 5. Bg2 d5 6. a3 $5 {White usually develops the knight to f3 first and only then thinks about attacking the bishop. The move in the game has already been played at a high level, but it allows Arjun to demonstrate his well-known creativity early on.} Bxc3+ {The natural reply.} (6... Be7 {can also be played, with a Catalan position with the pawn on a3, which should probably be useful for White.}) 7. bxc3 dxc4 {Black simply captures the pawn, certainly a critical choice. Other plans are also possible.} (7... c6 {with the idea of …b6-Ba6 and capturing with the c-pawn if White exchanges on d5.}) (7... c5 {goes for immediate tension in the center. Giving the level of opening preparation by Arjun, he certainly has all these options carefully studied. He played his first moves very quickly, showing confidence.}) 8. a4 $5 {This is almost a new move. White prepares to develop the bishop to a3.} (8. Nf3 c5 9. O-O cxd4 10. Qxd4 Nc6 11.

I suppose the main idea is to prevent the queen from using this square, but the move seems too slow.} (9. a5 $2) ({RR} 9. a5 Na6 10. Nf3 Nd5 11. Bb2 Bd7 12. e4 Ne7 13. O-O Rc8 14.

Qc2 Rd8 {Although this is an acceptable move, I believe this position is a good time for anyone looking for an improvement in Black's opening play.} (10... Re8 $5 {The rook doesn't capture on d4 now, but helps to advance the center after} 11. Bxc5 e5 {With the opening of the e-file and the idea of Bf5, sacrificing the bishop to take on c3, it looks like Black has plenty of activity.}) 11. Bxc5 Na6 {Although not a mistake, I don't like this move so much. It seems to me that Black has some practical problems after White's next move.} (11... Nc6 {is a possible alternative:} 12. Bxc6 (12. Nf3 Ne4 $1) 12... bxc6 {This looks better for White, but the computer is not a bit afraid.}) (11... Nd5 {is also a good move.} 12. Nf3 (12. Bxd5 exd5 {is better for Black.}) 12... Na6 13.

Rc7 {The queen stands well on a5 and the bishop can be developed quickly to d7. This also prevents the move White plays in the game.}) 16. a5 $5 {Gaining space on the queenside and preparing the attack on the c4-pawn with Ra4 later.} Rb8 {Necessary in order to push the b-pawn.} 17.

Ne4 Kg7 20. g4 $1 {An important move to develop White's initiative. The idea is to play Ng3-h5.} Nc5 21. Ng3 Qe5 $1 {The queen comes to protect the king. Gukesh is defending well, but he is already low on time and the position is dangerous.} 22. Rad1 (22. Kh1 {is also interesting, preparing f2-f4 without Black having the check on e3. A possible continuation is} Kh8 23. f4 Qc7 24. f5 {with a complicated fight. Black should now play} Bb7 $1) 22... b5 $1 {This not only protects the c4-pawn but also prepares timely counterplay with b5-b4.} 23. f4 Qe3+ 24. Kh1 Rxd1 25. Qxd1 (25.

Bc6 {An interesting idea to remove the important defender. The game becomes chaotic - somehow this always happens in Arjun's games.} (26. f5 {is also dangerous for Black, planning to open the f-file. After} Kh8 $1 {it seems that Black has enough defensive resources, but it still looks very dangerous.}) 26... Rb6 $2 {A miscalculation that leads to a losing position.} (26... b4 $5 {is my favorite move.} 27. cxb4 (27. Bxd7 $2 {loses to} Bb7+) (27. Rf3 Qa7) 27... Rxb4 {The position is insanely complicated. A possible line is} 28. Nh5+ Kh8 29. Qd6 Qb6 {It looks very scary for Black, but the computer shows the typical equal evaluation.}) 27. Nh5+ $1 {The only refutation to Black's previous move.} (27.
