Nf3 Nf6 (3... e6) 4. Bf4 $6 {an inaccuracy, which I knew, but vaguely remembered what to do after dxc4. Shit happens.} e6 $6 (4... dxc4 5. e3 b5 6. a4 e6 (6... Nd5 {winning a tempo.}) 7. Nc3 Bb4 8. axb5 cxb5) 5. e3 {better version of the Meran for white.} Nbd7 6. Nbd2 $5 Be7 (6... Nh5 7. Be5) 7. h3 {to prevent Nh5.} O-O 8. Bd3 dxc4 9. Nxc4 Nb6 (9... Bb4+) (9... c5) 10. O-O Nxc4 11. Bxc4 b5 12. Bb3 (12. Bd3 {better.}) 12... Bb7 13. Rc1 Rc8 14. Qe2 a6 15. Rfd1 Qb6 {typical Meran move. almost equal.} 16. Ne5 c5 {finally.} 17. dxc5 Rxc5 (17... Bxc5 $2 18. Bg5) 18. Rxc5 Qxc5 (18... Bxc5) 19. Qd2 Rc8 { tough choice.} (19... Qb6 {and to play Rd8.}) 20. Nd7 Nxd7 (20... Qc6 { definately better. was afraid of some non-existing tactics.}) 21. Qxd7 Qc6 22. Qxc6 Bxc6 23. Kf1 Kf8 (23... Bf6 {slightly better.} 24. Rd2 Kf8) (23... a5) 24. Be5 Rd8 {not required.} (24... a5) (24... Bd8) 25. Rxd8+ Bxd8 {with both pairs for bishops, and my light square bishop being slightly superior, it must be a draw.} 26. f3 f6 27. Bd6+ Be7 28. Bc7 (28. Bxe7+ Kxe7 {only black can be slighly better.}) 28... Kf7 (28... Bd7) 29. Ke2 Bc5 (29... f5) (29... h5) 30. g4 {not clear what pawn structure to form on the K-side.} Ke7 31. Bc2 g6 (31... h6 {weakens g6, but also fine.}) 32. Bg3 Bd6 (32... Bd5 {a better practical move. with 2 pairs of bishops, there are just no ideas for white.}) 33. Bxd6+ Kxd6 34. b4 $1 Bd5 35. a3 {total equality.} Bc4+ 36. Kd2 Bf1 {no need. just move the bishop along the diagonal.} 37. h4 f5 $6 {putting all the pawns on the light squares and giving white chances + time trouble. thought I have a fortress.} 38. g5 (38. gxf5 gxf5) 38... Bc4 39. f4 {and I just need to do moves with the bishop and it's a draw.} Kd5 {not clear why.} 40. Bd1 e5 (40... Ke4 {very scary move to make in a time trouble, with mating net ideas.}) 41. Bf3+ (41. fxe5 Kxe5 42. Bf3 Bd5 43. Bd1 (43. Bxd5 $4)) 41... e4 (41... Kd6 { also fine, but tough to calculate.} 42. Bb7 Kc7 43. Bxa6 Kb6 44. Bc8 Kc7 45. Ba6 Kb6) 42. Bd1 {here, instead of calmly thinking, even being in time trouble, I started to panic that I lose after Kc3 and Bb3, swapping the bishops, but I ofc have an opposition. so, he can't make progress without a4.} Kc6 43. h5 { already preparing a nasty trick.} (43. Kc3 Kd5 44. Bb3 Bxb3 45. Kxb3 Kc6 46. Kc3 Kd5) 43... Kd6 44. h6 Kc6 45. Kc3 Kd6 {total draw.} 46. Kd4 Ba2 {just move with the bishop.} 47. a4 Bc4 (47... bxa4 {ofc losing.}) 48. Kc3 (48. axb5 axb5 {and I thought that I am losing as now he has 2 things to attack - the b5 pawn and the a2-h8 diagonal. but, it's not the case.} 49. Kc3 Kc6 50. Bc2 Kd6 51. Kd4 Bf7 52. Bd1 Bc4 {and he can't really make progress.}) 48... Kd5 $4 { blocking the diagonal.} (48... Kc6 49. Bh5 $4 gxh5 50. g6 Bg8 {and black wins.} ) 49. Bh5 $3 {cheap but thematic stuff and the only winning idea! fuck it.} Kd6 50. Bxg6 Bg8 51. Bxf5 bxa4 52. Bxe4 a3 53. g6 {fucking should not happen.} 1-0
