[Event "Tournament for ZADROT EBANIYS"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.10"] [Round "?"] [White "Stotyn, Fabian"] [Black "Grotovsky, Evgeny"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C45"] [Annotator "Grotovsky"] [PlyCount "69"] {Zhis was zhe second time I played against zhis opponent. Zhe first time was back in 2004 in zhe 3rd Division of zhe Dutch Team Championship between Hardenberg and BSG Bussum. I won zhe game, but my team failed a little bit and zhe final result was a dissappointink 4-4 score if I remember correctly.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bb4+ {My Russian comrade Vladimir Kramnik used zhis line recently in zhe World Cup to beat zhe French baquette Vachier-Lagrave in 22 moveks wiz zhe Black pieces!} 5. c3 Bc5 6. Be3 Bb6 7.

Bd3 ({I zhink zhet White's plan was a bit slow, because Black zhe lead in development and is ready to open zhe positon wiz d6-d5. Therefore, White should have played} 11. c4 {in zhis position to keep zhe position closed. Black does have an interestink opportunity to open zhe open zhe postion wiz} Re8 12. Be2 (12. Bd3 $6 d5 $1 { and Black is clearly better.}) 12... Nxe4 $5 13. fxe4 Qh4+ 14. Bf2 Qxe4 { wiz an unclear position.}) 11... d5 {Now Black has zhe initiative.} 12. Nxc6 bxc6 13. e5 Nd7 14. f4 Qh4+ $1 15. g3 Qh3 {Now White is unable to castle any direction, so Black is doink more zhen fine. At zhis point I was very ghappy, because it's been a while since I had such a great position wiz Black after only 15 moveks.} 16. Qc2 Re8 ({I was zhinkink a long time for zhis move. Zhe first move zhet came in my crazy mind was} 16... Nc5 $5 {After} 17. Bxc5 bxc5 { and it took a long time before I saw zhet White should play} 18. c4 $1 { here, because if White allows Black to play c4 himself, Black will conquer all zhe lights squares. After White's c4 I still zhink zhet Black is OK, but I zhink zhet White's postion can only become better because of Black's triple pawn and in the endgame the passed pawn on a2 can become very dangerous.}) ({ Another move I considered was} 16... f6 $1 {but for some strange reason I didn't play zhe move, because White's unable to keep zhe e5-pawn.} 17. Bf5 (17. e6 $2 Qxe6 18. Bxh7+ Kh8 {and both White's bisshops are in danger.}) (17. exf6 $2 Nxf6 {and Black is close to winnink.}) ({I refused 16...f6! because of} 17.

O-O fxe5 19. fxe5 Re8 { and zhe pawn on e5 is more dead zhen alive.}) 17. c4 Nxe5 $6 ({As a big fan of zhe best Dutch football club (Ajax), I should play more like zhem. This means zhet I shouldn't go for zhe raw combat skills with a sacrafice (unless it's winnink), but I should focus more on movink my pieces to zhe right squares. I could also thought about zhe famous words that Anton Singov (another Russian comrade of mine) once said: "You ghave to choose situations when to be agressive, and when to be not so agressive." I think zhis sacrafice is just to agressive, especially when you ghave better moveks like} 17... Nf6 $1) 18. fxe5 Rxe5 19. Kf2 dxc4 ({Zhe first movek I was looking at after the sacrifice was} 19...

Now White has} 21. Bf4 $5 { gives Black an interestink option wiz} (21. Kg1 Rxf1+ $1 22. Rxf1 Be6 { and Black will win an exchange back, and should be OK.}) (21. Ke1 Qh5 (21... Qg4 22. Qxc4 (22.
