{At the moment, we are studying the Queen's Gambit Declined: Systems without
Nc3. We witnessed GM Abhimanyu Mishra beat 2700 FIDE Rated Super GM Vincent
Keymer playing black in the 1st series. Now, the featured game is an exciting
one.} 1. Nf3 d5 2. e3 Nf6 3. c4 c6 4. d4 e6 5. Nbd2 {This is the: Without the
Nc3 System of the Queen's Gambit Declined.} Nbd7 6. Bd3 Bd6 {Now, black played
Bd6 instead of Be7} 7. e4 dxe4 8. Nxe4 Nxe4 9. Bxe4 Nf6 10. Bc2 {Of course,
the white bishop needs to be at c2, to pressure the h7 later.} O-O ({IF} 10...

Super GM Hikaru Nakamura. After the 13...g5 move, black's kingside position is
weakened. Also, white's 18. d5 move added insult to black's position while GM
Nakamura continued to break black's weak kingside pawn structure, resulting in
a hopeless position. Very entertaining game... Thank you and keep safe always.
God Bless...} 1-0
