1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d3 Nc6 4.Nbd2 g6 5.g3 Bg7 6.Bg2 Nge7 7.0-0 0-0 8.Re1 d5 9.c3 b6 10.e5 Ba6 11.Nf1 Qc7 12.Bf4 b5 13.h4 b4 14.N1h2 Rab8 15.Ng4 bxc3 16.bxc3 Rb2 17.Qc1 Rfb8 18.Nf6+ Kh8 19.Ng5 Ng8 DIAGRAM 20.Nxd5! Qd7 [20...exd5 21.e6] 21.Nf6 Nxf6 22.exf6 Bxf6 23.Nxf7+ [23.Bxb8 is an even better continuation for White... 23...Rxb8 24.Bxc6 Qxc6 25.Qf4 e5 26.Nxf7+ Kg8 27.Nxe5] 23...Qxf7 24.Bxb8 Rxb8 25.Bxc6 Bxd3 26.Qe3 c4 27.Rac1 Qg7 28.Qxe6 h6 although White has a clear superior position, Black's bishops are so dominating that it makes if difficult to find the right plan to bring home the point. I'm going to guess this contributes to White's loss in this game. 29.Qd6 Rd8 30.Qb4 g5 31.hxg5 Bxg5 32.Rcd1 Bf6 33.Rc1 Be5 34.Qb7 Qf6 35.Rxe5 Qxe5 36.Qxa7 Qf6 37.Bg2 Rd6 Black won (presumably on time) 0-1
