1. Nf3 d5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 c5 4. O-O e6 5. d3 Be7 6. e4 O-O {We have a King's
Indian Attack set up vs a QGD set up.} 7. Qe2 Nc6 8. a4 dxe4 9. dxe4 e5 10. c3
Be6 11. Nbd2 Qc7 12. Nc4 Rad8 13. Ng5 Bg4 {the bishop provokes some weaknesses
before he retreats} 14. f3 Bc8 15. f4 Bg4 16. Qc2 h6 17. Nf3 exf4 18. gxf4 (18.
Bxf4 $6 Qc8 {White is left with an isolated pawn}) 18... Be6 19. b3 Nh5 {
attacks the f4 squares and possibly prepares the ...f5 break.} 20. e5 (20. f5
Bxc4 21. bxc4 Bd6 (21... Bf6 {Black builds a dark squared blockade})) 20... Qd7
21. Nfd2 f5 22. Qd1 Qe8 23. Qe2 g5 $5 24. fxg5 hxg5 25. Nf3 Qg6 26. Nd6 g4 27.
Ne1 f4 28. Be4 Qg7 29. Nxb7 Nxe5 $1 {the d8 rook is not that important! In
return Black gets the central e5 pawn and the pawn phalanx starts to move} 30.
Nxd8 Bxd8 31. Nd3 Nf3+ 32. Kg2 Nh4+ (32... Nd4 $1 33. cxd4 f3+ {this fork is
the idea}) 33. Kg1 f3 {We can now safely say that the tables have turned! It
is Black that is playing a King's Indian Defence! (and Ding has a lot of
experience in positions like this one).} 34. Bh7+ Kxh7 35. Qxe6 g3 36. Qe4+ Rf5
