D04: Colle System. 6…Bd7N [Predecessor: 6…Nc6= 7.Qc2 a6 8.Bd3 Bg4 9.h3 Bh5 10.Nh4 0–0–0 11.Nb3 e6 12.Be3 Bd6 13.g4] 7.Bd3 [7.Ne5²] 7…Nc6= 8.0–0 White is slightly better. 8…Bg4 9.Re1 e6 10.Nf1 Bd6 11.Bg5 0–0 12.Bxf6 gxf6 13.Ng3 f5
[13…Kh8 seems wilder. 14.Kh1 Rg8 15.h3 Bxh3 16.gxh3 Bxg3 17.fxg3 Qxg3 18.Qe2 Qxh3+ 19.Nh2 Rg3] 14.h3 Bxf3 15.Qxf3 Ne7 16.Nh5 Kh8 17.g4 Rg8 18.Kh1 Ng6! 19.Bc2 [19.gxf5 Nh4 20.Qe3 exf5³; 19.Rg1=] 19…Nh4³
20.Qe3 Rg6 21.Rg1 f4! 22.Qd3 Qe7 23.Rae1 Qg5 24.c4 [24.Qb5? Nf3 25.Bxg6 (25.Qxb7? Rb8–+ [%mdl 64] Skewer) 25…Qh4–+; Better is 24.a4³ ] 24…dxc4–+
25.Qc3 b5! [25…Qd5+ 26.Be4 Qg5 27.Bxg6 (27.Bxb7 Rb8=; 27.Qxc4 Rag8=) 27…hxg6 28.d5+ e5 29.Ng3²] 26.a4 [#] [26.a3µ] 26…b4 [26…Qd5+? 27.Be4 b4 28.Qc2 Qxd4 29.Bxa8+-; 26…a6!–+ [%cal Ya8c8] has better winning chances. Threatens to win with …Rc8! 27.Be4 Rag8] 27.Qxc4µ Rag8 White must now prevent …Nf3! 28.Qc6 [#]
Fabiano Caruana: „Mislim da je Ian u opasnosti, uprkos onome što kompjuter kaže… Ne razumijem ovu odluku da žuri svaki potez. Ima možda jednu šansu u životu… kako može igrati svaki potez kao da je to partija Titled Tuesday?“
Against Nf3 [White should play 28.Bxg6 hxg6 29.d5 (29.Qc6 gxh5 30.Qxd6 Nf3³) ] 28…Bb8? Black is weak on the light squares [28…Nf5!µ [%cal Yg5h4] stays on course. Strongly threatening …Qh4! 29.Bd1 (29.gxf5 Qxh5 30.Rxg6 Qxh3+ 31.Kg1 hxg6 32.Qg2 gxf5; 29.Bxf5 Qh4µ) 29…Qh4] 29.Qb7? [29.Bxg6+- hxg6 30.d5 [%mdl 64] Deflection 30…Qxd5+ 31.Qxd5 exd5 32.Nf6] 29…Rh6 [29…f5³] 30.Be4= [30.Qxf7? loses. 30…Nf3 31.Bxh7 (31.Rxe6? is the wrong capture. 31…Qh4–+) 31…Rxh7 32.Qf6+ Qxf6 33.Nxf6 Rxh3+ 34.Kg2 Nxg1 35.Nxg8 Kxg8–+] 30…Rf8 31.Qxb4 Qd8 32.Qc3ƒ Hoping for d5+. Black is under pressure. [32.f3 is interesting. 32…f5 33.Qb7 Qc7 34.Rc1] 32…Ng6 33.Bg2 White is much more active. The black rooks are badly placed. 33…Qh4 34.Re2 f5? [34…Rg8²] 35.Rxe6+-
d5+ would be deadly. 35…Rxh5 36.gxh5 Qxh5 37.d5+ Kg8 38.d6 White used his chance. Weighted Error Value: White=0.26 (precise) /Black=0.35 1–0
