1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 0-0 5. Ne2 Re8 6. a3 Bf8 7. Ng3 d5 8. Be2 b6 9. cxd5 exd5 10. b4 Bb7 11. 0-0 Nbd7 12. Qb3 c6 13. Bf3 a6 14. Rd1 b5 15. e4 Nb6 16. e5 Nfd7 17. Bg4 a5 18. Rb1 Nc4 19. Nce2 axb4 20. axb4 Bc8 21. h3 Ndb6 22. Qf3 f6 23. Bh5 g6 24. exf6 Ra7 25. Bg5 Rf7 26. Bxg6 hxg6 27. Nf4 Rxf6 28. Qd3 Qd6 29. Bxf6 Qxf6 30. Nxg6 Bd6 31. Re1 Bd7 32. f4 Nb2 33. Rxe8+ Bxe8 34. Rxb2 Bxg6 35. f5 Bf7 36. Rb3 Qg5 37. Qf3 Qc1+ 38. Nf1 Nc4 39. Qg4+ Kf8 40. Qh4 Ke8 41. Rf3 Nd2 42. Re3+ Ne4 43. Qh8+ Kd7 44. Qh7 Ke8. After a tumultuous fight, marked with continuous ups and downs, Gupta, rather than forcing a draw by repetition or perpetual check with 45. Qh8+, played something very strange: 45. f6?? The only thing one can guess is that he were much short of time. The punishment is instantaneous: 45. ... Qb2! With the threat of ... Qb2-f2+. 46. Qf5 Kd8 47. Rd3

47. ... Bg6! Very pretty tactics. 48. Qf3. Not 48. Qxg6?? Qf2+ 49. Kh1 Qxf1 mate. 48. ... Ng5 49. Qe3 Bxd3 50. Qxg5. It quickly leads to the end, but also after 50. Qxd3 Ne4 White’s position must fall apart. 50. ... Qxd4+ 51. Kh1 Qf2! 0 : 1.
