1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d4 exd4 6. b4 {A very interesting
idea, in accordance with Oleg's style. Suddenly the b-pawn must be reckoned
with.} Bb6 7. e5 d5 8. exf6 dxc4 9. Qe2+ Be6 10. b5 {The extra option, now I
have to figure out the differences in every line.} Nb4 {Sometimes, it is
better to be aggressive than accurate. Now the connected passed pawns and the
two bishops are quite dangerous in practical play.} (10... Na5 {is playable,
the Na5 is unlikely to play an important role...}) 11. fxg7 Rg8 12. cxb4 Qf6
13. O-O Qxg7 14. g3 O-O-O 15. a4 (15. Qe5 Qxe5 16. Nxe5 f6 17. Nf3 a5 {Black
can't avoid this move forever} 18. bxa6 bxa6 {enough compensation for the
piece.}) 15... d3 {Once I steeled myself to play ...Qxg3, it was hard to
resist the thought of executing the move.} (15... Qf6 $1 {was probably
objectively better.}) 16. Qb2 Qxg3+ 17. hxg3 Rxg3+ 18. Kh2 Rxf3 19. Bg5 $2 {
Based on an oversight.} (19. Kg2 Bd5 (19... Rf5 {I would probably have gone
for this} 20. Rg1 c3 21. Nxc3 d2 22. Qxd2 Rxd2 23. Bxd2 Rxf2+ 24. Kg3 Rxd2 25.
Rgd1 {is about equal}) 20. Kh2 Be6 $1 {I am not sure I would have appreciated
this simple move, but it is equal.}) (19. Qg7 {what I was expecting} Rh3+ 20.
Kg2 Bd4 21. Qg5 h6 $1 {The queen runs out of squares on the g-file.} 22. Qxd8+
Kxd8 23. Ra3 {I was sure that Black has enough here.}) 19... Bd4 $1 20. Qd2 Rg8
$1 {And surprisingly, White is lost.} 21. Ra3 (21. Rg1 Rh3+ 22. Kg2 h6 23. Kf1
Rxg5 $1 {wins.}) 21... h6 22. Rg1 Rh3+ 23. Kg2 Rxg5+ 24. Kf1 Rxg1+ 25. Kxg1 Bd5
{A very enjoyable game, and I have to thank Oleg Skvortsov for being a chess
romantic!} 0-1
