1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 f5 {Viktor Korchnoi used this delayed
version of the Schliemann in one of his match games against Anatoly Karpov.
Back then it had a reputation of a dubious line, suitable for one game only.
This assessment will be hardly changed by this game, it seems.} 5. d4 exd4 6.

A (2659)-Sychev,K (2563) Moscow 2019}) 9... c5 {So far, Tari was blitzing
whereas Duda was cautiously checking his moves. On his next choice the Polish
GM spent more than 40 minutes.} 10. Nxf5 {Kramnik predicted that this will be
White's choice.} (10. Bxg8 cxd4 11. Bb3 Nxb3 12. axb3 {yields nothing for
White after either} Bc5 ({or} 12... Qh4)) 10... c4 11. Nc3 {N Three seconds
were spent on this novelty. Duda speeds up his development, hoping to get to
the enemy king while it's still in the center.} ({An earlier game could have

to attack and Black may castle long if needed.} ({The premature capture of the
bishop opens the file for the white rook and promises White more attacking
chances:} 11... cxb3 12. axb3 Qb6 13. Re1 O-O-O 14. Nd6+ Bxd6 15. exd6 Nf6 16.
