[Event "World Blitz Championship"] [Site "Moscow RUS"] [Date "2019.12.30"] [Round "21.8"] [White "Peter Svidler"] [Black "Ahmed Adly"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B12"] [WhiteElo "2723"] [BlackElo "2607"] [PlyCount "99"] [EventDate "2019.12.29"] [EventType "blitz"] 1. e4 c6 {The Caro-Kann defense: I was an e4 opening during my teen years. But I switched to d4 because black opening's such as French, Caro-Kann, Centre Counter and Alekhine defense are difficult to play with. But I think I can go back to playing the 1. e4 with these super ideas from Super GMs, it helped me alot.} 2. d4 d5 3. e5 {The Advanced variation.} Bf5 4. Nd2 {GM Peter Svidler likes this set-up but GM Wesley So moves the 4. Nf3 first. It always depends on personal choice and style of play.} e6 5. Nb3 Nd7 {Same sequence of moves in Game 1.} 6. Nf3 Ne7 7. Be2 h6 8. O-O g5 9. Bd2 Bg7 10. Bb4 a5 {This move differs compared to game 1.} 11. Ba3 b6 {Each GM has its own opening preparation research. That is the only way to become more competitive.} 12. c3 O-O 13. Bd3 {The bishop at a3 pressures the a3 to f8 diagonal, therefore, 13. Bd3 move is definitely a good move due to white having the initiative to disrupt black's kingside position.} Re8 {See what I mean, black can not stand the bishop's pressure...} ({If} 13... Bxd3 14. Qxd3 c5 15. Nc1 {This knight goes to e2 then g3.}) 14. Ne1 Ng6 {I am thinking why black allowed a double pawn here also weakens the f5 square. Let's find out.} 15. Bxf5 exf5 16. Qc2 { The diagonal b1 to h7 is weak, how does white penetrate black's kingside.} f4 17. Nd3 Ndf8 18. Bd6 Qd7 19. Nd2 {Black was able to place pieces coordinately. Now, white must strike the d5 pawn with a c4 push, just my opinion.} Nh4 20. g3 Nf5 21. Bxf8 Bxf8 22. Rae1 ({If} 22. gxf4 c5 23. fxg5 cxd4 24. Nf3 Rac8) 22... Qe6 23. Nf3 c5 24. Qd1 c4 {White's position is compressed.} 25. Nc1 g4 26. Ne2 ({If} 26. Nd2 f3 27. h3 h5 28. Nxf3 gxf3 29. Qxf3 {Reasonable exchange.}) 26... fxg3 27. Nf4 Qd7 ({If} 27... gxh2+ 28. Nxh2 Qd7 29. Nxg4) 28. Nd2 gxh2+ 29. Kxh2 Ng7 30. Rg1 {White has good prospects here.} h5 31. f3 f5 32. Nf1 { The d5 pawn is the next target.} ({If} 32. exf6 Qd6 33. Kh1 Qxf4 34. fxg7 Bd6) 32... Qd8 33. Ne3 Qg5 34. Nexd5 Rad8 35. Kg2 {King must stay away from the pressure.} Kf7 {Black king is also avoiding the pressure at g file.} 36. Kf1 Ne6 37. Nxe6 Rxe6 38. Nc7 {Obviously, the knight is better than the bishop in this type of position.} Rc6 39. Nb5 g3 40. Kg2 {Nice defensive moves by GM Svidler.} h4 41. Rh1 {Of course..} Rh6 42. f4 Qg4 ({If} 42... Qxf4 43. Qe2 Kg7 44. Ref1 Qg5 45. Rh3 Be7 {complicated position}) 43. Qxg4 fxg4 44. f5 {White is much better but must find the correct moves.} Be7 45. Re4 {The g4 pawn is good to go, shall black protect it?} Bg5 46. Rxg4 Rh5 47. Nd6+ {This knight is to much to handle.} Ke7 48. Ne4 {Everything goes smoothly for white, only time will tell, black resigns.} Be3 49. f6+ Ke6 50. Rhxh4 {Black Resigned: The kingside attack by black backfired probably miscalculation. Black's over-extended pawns became targets. Thank you, GM Peter Svidler..you are a very good counter attacker and calculate precisely. Cheers to all...} 1-0
