Jan-Krzysztof Duda – Borya Ider
French Team Championship Top 12; Port-Camargue, June 1, 2015
French Defence C10

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 h6? Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch would surely condemn this parody of “waiting move”. 4. Bd3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Nb4 6. Bb5+ c6 7. Be2 Nf6 8. e5 Ne4 9. a3 Nxc3 10. bxc3 Na6 11. c4 Be7 12. 0-0 0-0 13. c3 Nc7. Black is very cramped while White is about to regroup his forces for the attack. 14. Bd3 b6 15. Bb1 h5. This move is not, probably, Black’s best. 16. Qd3 g6 17. Qe3 Re8

18. Bxg6! The decisive blow, whereas Ider was hoping for 18. Qh6? Bf8 with some chances to survive the attack. 18. ... fxg6 19. Qh6 Rf8 20. Qxg6+ Kh8 21. Qxh5+ Kg8 22. Bh6 1 : 0.
