A latere

王玥 (Wáng Yuè) – Danyyil Dvirnyy
42nd Chess Olympiad; Baku, September 5, 2016
Queen’s Gambit Declined D12

1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 Nf6 3. c4 c6 4. e3 Bg4 5. h3 Bh5 6. g4 Bg6 7. Ne5 e6 8. Nxg6 hxg6 9. Bg2 Nbd7 10. Qd3 g5!? 11. Nc3 Bb4 12. Bd2 Qe7. Formally a novelty. For 12. ... a5 13. a3 Bxc3 14. Bxc3 Nb6 15. cxd5 Nbxd5 16. Bd2 Qc7 17. Rc1 see Lysyj – Korchmar, 11th International RSSU Chess Cup “Moscow Open”, Moscow 2015. 13. a3 Bxc3 14. Bxc3 Nf8 15. cxd5 exd5 16. Qf5 Ne4 17. Bxe4 Qxe4 18. Qxe4+ dxe4


19. d5! A timely break in the centre which appears to ensure White the initiative. 19. ... cxd5 20. Rd1 0-0-0? This was bad judgement on the part of Dvirnyy. After 20. ... f6 21. Rxd5 Ne6 22. Kf1 followed by Kf1-g2 and Rh1-d1 White stands better, but probably not enough to bet on a win. 21. Bxg7 Rg8 22. Bf6 Rd7. If Black manages to carry his Knight out, he would be quite well, but 王玥 (Wáng Yuè) hits a breakthrough which will prove to be decisive. 23. f4! exf3 24. Rf1 Ne6 25. Rxf3 Kc7 26. Rf5 Kc6 27. Rc1+ Kb6 28. Ke2 Rg6 29. Rcf1 Rh6 30. R1f3 Kc6. After 30. ... Rg6 31. Be5 the f7-Pawn is doomed, but Danyyil’s decision to renounce to the g-Pawn does not produce better outcomes. 31. Bxg5 Nxg5 32. Rxg5 d4 33. e4 d3+ 34. Kd2 Re6 35. e5 Rd5 36. Rxf7 1 : 0.
