Queen’s Indian Defence E18
“In the men’s tournament, Ivan Bukavshin scored his first victory at the Superfinal, defeating Ildar Khairullin. In a position with hanging Pawns, Bukavshin repositioned his pieces successfully and gained the initiative. While looking for counterplay, Black weakened his Pawn structure and allowed his opponent to grab an open file on the Queenside. The grandmasters, being in mutual time trouble, couldn’t avoid inaccuracies, but White played more soundly on the whole, built up pressure consistently and finished the game with a fine tactical blow”, the editor-in-chief of ruchess.ru said.

56. Nd2!! A pretty tactical diversion. 56. ... Kg8. Also after 56. ... Qxd2 57. Rxf7+ Kg8 58. Rxf6 Rb2 59. Qa3 Black is helpless. 57. Qxa2 Ne4 58. Rxf7! Unsurprisingly Bukavshin finds the only move that wins (which he must have foreseen when he played 56. Nd2). 58. ... Nxd2 59. Qxd5 1 : 0. After 59. ... Qf1+ 60. Kg3 Qg1+ 61. Kh4 g5+ 62. Kh5 also White’s King joines the party.
