Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 Bb4 5. Nge2 O-O 6. O-O {This line has been championed by Nakamura with great success. Black's best response is 6...Na5 as in Nakamura-Sargsyan, 2023 (1-0, 49)} h6 7. f4 {This and 7.a3, preserving the Bc4 are the most popular moves. Dan clearly wants to expand of the kingside without delay} d6 8. a3 Bc5+ 9. Kh1 a6 10. f5 {Thematic. Dan has good prospects on the kingside. Black has played sensibly and well, but it's not clear what his plan is.} Ng4 {Aiming for f2 but this knight is need to defend the kingside. Either 10...b5 or 10...Nd4 might be better} 11. Qe1 Ne3 {This gains the "two bishops" but under-estimates the danger on the kingside.} 12. Bxe3 Bxe3 13. f6 $1 g5 14. Qg3 Bf4 $2 {This drops a pawn but the alternative 14...Bd4, for example} (14... Bd4 15. Qf3 Bd7 $2 16. Qh5 $18 Kh7 17. Bxf7 {can easily backfire} )15. Nxf4 exf4 16. Rxf4 Kh7 17. Raf1 Ne5 18. Ba2 Ng6 19. R4f2 c6 20. Ne2 $1 {Bringing another piece into the attack and covering f4} Ne5 21. h4 g4 $2 22. Nd4 {Strong but perhaps 22.d4 was even stronger} (22. d4 Ng6 23. h5 Nh8 24. e5 dxe5 25. Qd3+ Kg8 26. c3 Be6 27. Bb1 )h5 (22... Qb6 {Offers more resistance } 23. c3 Rg8 {when white can continue with moves like Bb1, Nf5, Qf4, d4 and e5 to break through.} )23. Qf4 {Theres no defence and Dan finishes off in style.} Ng6 24. Qg5 d5 25. Qxh5+ Kg8 26. Qh6 1-0
