1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 d5 3. e3 Nbd7 4. Nf3 c5 5. c3 e6 6. Nbd2 Be7 7. Bd3 0-0 8. a4 b6 9. Qb1 Bb7 10. h4!? h6 11. Bf4 Ng4 12. Ng5!? Ngf6 13. Rh3 Qc8 14. Ndf3 hxg5? A very bad idea. Black might have tried 14. ... cxd4 15. exd4 Bd8 (Saunders’ analysis). 15. hxg5 Ne4 16. Bxe4 dxe4. If 16. ... f5 then 17. Bc2! (Saunders).

17. Kd2! “An unusual winning move courtesy of Richard Rapport!”, the guys of chess24.com joked. 17. ... g6 18. Qh1 f6 19. Rh7! 1 : 0. “Terrifyingly straightforward play by Rapport though, must be said. Very unpleasant”, Grandmaster Jonathan Tisdall sadly said.
