1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. d4 d5 6. Bd3 Nc6 7. 0-0 Be7 8. Nc3 Bf5 9. Re1 Nxc3 10. bxc3 Bxd3 11. Qxd3 0-0 12. Re2 a6 13. Bf4 Qd7 14. Rae1 Rae8 15. c4. If, instead, 15. Qe3 might follow 15. ... f6 16. Qe6+ Qxe6 17. Rxe6 Kf7 18. Bxc7 Ba3 20. Rxe8 Rxe8 21. Rb1 b5 and Black’s position seems to compensate for the Pawn, Nepomniachtchi – Fridman, 12th European Individual Chess Championship, Aix-les-Bains 2011. 15. ... dxc4 16. Qxc4 Bd6? A hasty move by which Black only gets to simplify the game in the opponent’s favour. After 16. ... b5 17. Qd3 Bf6 18. c3 White has only a slight plus. 17. Rxe8 Rxe8 18. Rxe8+ Qxe8 19. Bxd6 cxd6 20. d5 Ne7. Clearly not 20. ... Ne5?? on account of 21. Nxe5 dxe5 22. d6 and wins.

Although Black has won back his Pawn, White will easily win the game by virtue of his passed a-Pawn. 27. Qc8+ Kh7 28. a5 Qb2 29. Qc6. Whereas 倪华 (Ní Huá) was hoping for 29. a6?? Nd1 when White has nothing better than the perpetual (30. Qc8+). 29. ... d5 30. Qb6 Qa2? Tougher resistance is offered by 30. ... Qb5, although after 31. h4! Black cannot hope to save the game. 31. a6 Ne4 32. a7 g5 33. Ne5 Kg7 34. Nd3 d4 35. Qxd4+ Nf6 36. Nc5. Threatening both Nc5-d7 and Nc5-e4. 1 : 0. For after 36. ... Qxa7 37. Ne6+ White wins the Queen.
