Bg5 Nbd7 5. cxd5 exd5 6. e3 Bb4 {Transposing into the Ragizin Variation (usuakky 4...Bb4) which combines elements of the Queen's Gambit and the Nimzo-Indian, ensuring an exciting, unbalanced middlegame. Black's main strategic goals in the Ragozin involve contesting the d4 square, applying pressure to white's N and maintaining a solid, but active, P-structure, The fact that white has already played Bg5 assures a tension filled position.} 7.

Kf1 Bd6 {[%mdl 32768] White lost on time. This was an extremely well played game by both sides!Weighted Error Value: White=0.13 (very precise). Black=0.09 (flawless). The post mortem analysis determined that white likely had a win, probably because of his extra P, but the position is actually equal. That said, in Shootouts white scored +1 -0 =4. so any winning chances white has are quite slim.} 0-1
