His style of play is unpredictable and very aggressive. I have high hopes that someday Australia will have a 2700 FIDE Rated Super GM. Lets watch his game.} 1. e4 e6 {The French Defense is very defensive, always based on structured play.} 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 {Our topic variation.} Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 Qc7 7. Qg4 f6 ({IF} 7... cxd4 8. Qxg7 Qxc3+ 9. Kd1 Qxa1 10. Qxh8 Kf8 11. Bd3 Nc6 12. Nf3 Nce7 13. Qxh7 {Complicated lines}) ({IF} 7... f5 8. Qg3 Ne7 9. Qxg7 Rg8 10. Qxh7 cxd4 11. Ne2 Qxe5 12. cxd4 Qc7 13.

Bd2 {If you are not an 1. e4 player, it will blow your mind how complicated the variations are. That is why, 1. d4 chessplayers play more steady, build first then attack later.} O-O 13. Bd3 Bd7 14. h4 {Boom!!!} Kh8 15. h5 h6 16. Qh4 {g4 is coming...} Qd8 {THE ASSIGNMENT: Prefered next move is Rb1, instead of early g4.} 17. g4 fxg4 18. Qxg4 Rxf3 {I think this is a wise move or only way to halt white from continued penetration at black's kingside.} 19. Qxf3 Nxd4 20. Qg4 Nef5 21. Rg1 Bb5 22. Bxf5 Nxf5 23. Rb1 Ba6 24. Rb4 { Still a difficult and unclear position, the knight at f5 is like an octopus.. too important.} Qc7 25. c3 Qxe5+ {Wow..what a fight...} 26. Kd1 d4 {White king at the center...} 27. Re1 Qd5 28. cxd4 Rc8 29. Qe4 {Yes, geting to endgame is white's advantage.} Qd8 30. d5 {Take it with the queen at d5 if not, game over. } Nd6 31. Qxe6 Qc7 32. Qg6 {No way Jose...got the c2 square...} Qc5 33. Rg4 { Now, its time to finish the game.} Rc7 34. Re6 Qxd5 35. Ke1 {If black moves 35. ..Rd7 then simply 36. Bc3. FANTASTIC MOVES BY GM Temur Kuybokarov. From start to finish, the game was wild and very tactical. It's amazing to see why 1. e4 chessplayers play so aggressively.} ({IF} 35. Rxd6 Qf3+) 1-0
