Alexandra Konstantinovna Kosteniuk – Aleksandra Yuryevna Goryachkina
65th Russian Women’s Chess Championship; Chita, August 18, 2015
English Opening A35

1. c4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Nf3 g6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Bg7 6. Nc2 Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 Nf6 8. Nb4 0-0 9. Nd5 b6 10. Ba3

10. ... d6! When Kosteniuk would have expected her opponent to play 10. ... Ne4, instead Goryachkina surprises everyone with a bold – and perfectly sound – Pawn sacrifice. 11. Nxf6+ exf6 12. Qxd6 Qxd6 13. Bxd6 Re8 14. e3 Bb7 15. Rb1 Re6 16. c5 Na5 17. Bc7 Bd5. Black’s dynamic position fully compensates for her Pawn deficit. 18. Rb5 Bc6 19. Rb2 Bd5 20. Rd2 Bc4 21. cxb6 axb6 22. Bg3 Kg7 23. Be2 Bxe2 24. Kxe2 Rc6 25. Rd3 Nc4 26. Ra1 Ra3 27. Kf3 Ne5+. Aleksandra Yuryevna allows a trade of her dominant Knight for White’s Bishop just because she’s going to win back her Pawn. 28. Bxe5 fxe5 29. Ke2 Rcxc3 30. Rd2 Rc5 31. Rb1 Rca5 32. Rbb2 h5 33. Kd1 b5 34. Kc1 b4 35. e4 Kf6 36. Kb1 Rb5 37. Rd6+ Ke7 38. Rc6 b3 39. axb3 Raxb3 40. Rxb3 Rxb3+ ½ : ½.
