1. e4 c5 2. c3 e6 3. d4 d5 4. exd5 exd5 5. Nf3 Nf6 {I was expecting only Nc6
and didn't prepare too much for Nf6.} 6. Bb5+ (6. Bg5) (6. Bd3) 6... Bd7 7.
Bxd7+ Nbxd7 8. O-O Be7 9. dxc5 {white exchanged a pair of bishops and would
play against the isolated pawn. I tried not to mix with the French Tarrasch
move order, as no Nb3 here.} Nxc5 10. Be3 (10. Nbd2 {was better for me to do,
with the idea of Nb3 and then Nfd4 with the idea of Nf5. Also f3, if some
knight jumps to e4.}) (10. Nd4) 10... O-O 11. Nbd2 Ng4 12. Bf4 (12. Bd4 {
better.} Bd6 13. g3) 12... Nd3 {totally missed this move and was in a panic.}
13. Bg3 Bf6 $6 {this is simply a bad diagonal for the bishop + taking the f6
square from the knight.} (13... Nxb2 14. Qc2 (14. Qb3) 14... Nc4 (14... Qb6 $2
15. Rfb1) 15. Nxc4 dxc4 16. Rab1 {and white has full compensation.}) 14. Qc2

Bf6 {the knight is not weaker.}) 16... Nc6 {white just has a clear edge and a
simple game.} 17. Nf3 Qb6 (17... d4) 18. Ne5 {I wanted to play safe and solid.}
(18. Rad1) (18. Qb3) 18... Bxe5 (18... Nxe5 19. Bxe5 Bxe5 20. Rxe5 {and white
has no risk at all.}) 19. Bxe5 Rfe8 20. Bf4 {totally equal.} (20. Bg3) 20... d4

23. h3 (23. cxd4 Nxd4 24. Qa4 {saw this, but was afraid to play due to Ne2+,
not realizing that it's a blunder.} Nc6 (24... Ne2+ $4 25. Kf1 Re6 26. Rd6 $1))

} dxc3 31. Qxc3 Qxb4 32. Qxb4 (32. Qf6 {I thought about it for a very long
time, but didn't see enough attacking lines or a perpetual.} Qb1+ 33. Kh2 Qxa2
34. Qxh6 {not easy to go for this.}) 32... Nxb4 33. a3 Nd3 {the bishop is
stronger and white has drawing chances. Dvoretzky type of endgame. white must
exchange pawns on the K-side, which is easier when black's are advanced.} 34.

passer.} 43. g3 {f3 is weak.}) 43. Kd3 b5 44. Bf8 a5 45. Be7 (45. f3 $2 Ne5+
