1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4 $5 {The Hungarian variation, that should never be underestimated. Either a quick development or a Hedgehog-like setup could be White's weapons here} a6 (4... Nc6 {the main line, naturally} 5. Bb5 Bd7 6. Bxc6 Bxc6 {and now White follows with ?c3-?g5-0-0-0 or c4 straight away, with a rich battle either way.}) 5. h3 $5 {A setup with ?e3, ?e2, c4, ?c3 is sought by White. A decision that proved to be very good, since Black's troubles started already after his 15th move.} Nc6 6. Qe3 g6 7. c4 Bg7 8. Be2 Nf6 9. Nc3 O-O 10. O-O Nd7 11. Rb1 $1 {The expansion with b4 is always a good plan, and when Black plays ...a5 to stop that (and also secure c5 for his ?), White gets the b5-square for the c3-?.} a5 (11... b6 {was another way to fight, ?b7, ?c8 coming. Play could go like this:} 12. b4 Bb7 13. Rd1 Rc8 14. Na4 $5 $14 {and the b6-? will be slightly harassed.}) (11... Qb6 $5 {Possibly an interesting novelty, forcing an early ?-exchange, that should work in Black's favour.} 12. Nd5 Qxe3 13. Bxe3 Nf6 {And I feel Black is ok, with natural developing moves coming}) 12. b3 Nc5 13. Bb2 f5 {This is part of Black's plan - if he doesn't try this, White is just building up an advantage with ?fd1, ?b5, and a3-b4 later.} 14. exf5 Bxf5 15. Rbd1 $14 {This is the kind of position where Black has to be careful, since central files are open and both black ?s are still there. Highly typical of the Accelerated Dragon's Maroczy like positions. Personally, I like White's chances in these structures. It just feels like Black's position is highly unstable and moves like ?a3, ?g5, ?d5, ?b5 must be watched all the time.} a4 16. Ba3 $1 Qa5 (16...

Bb2 {ideas like this should be considered, because it feels like 16...?xc3 should backfire somehow. Now g4 is a threat and in the event of 19...?xa2, then simply 20.?b3, with huge compensation} Rxa2 20. Qxb3 $16) 17. Nb5 (17. b4 $5 {was attractive, but was probably not leading to much:} Nxb4 18.

Of course, 18...?f6! may change the whole evaluation and induce White to choose this line instead.}) 17... axb3 18. axb3 Qxa3 {White was claiming a small, comfortable advantage already, but this looks drastic. I mean, Black is far from stable, and he's not even going to take on b3. There will be some piece play, indeed. But it doesn't look right.} (18... Rf6 $1 {This is what I'm talking about - if Black wants to claim a good position, he has to do it in a concrete fashion, which probably was the thought process that occurred to Gawain, but he overestimated the ?-sacrifice and didn't consider this odd-looking ? activation (I would hardly take this move seriously while analysing during a game)} 19.
