Queen’s Gambit Declined D35

As 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) and 居文君 (Jū Wénjūn) alternate on China’s fourth board, it happened today that two old acquaintances met again: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 Nbd7 5. cxd5 exd5 6. Bg5 c6 7. e3 Be7 8. Bd3 Ne4 9. Bxe7 Qxe7 10. Qc2 Ndf6 11. 0-0 0-0 12. Ne5 Re8 13. Rfe1 Bf5 14. Rac1 Nxc3!?TN (14. ... g6 ½ : ½ Riazantsev – M. Adams, Grand Prix 2017, 3rd stage, Geneva 2017) 15. Qxc3 Bxd3 16. Qxd3 Ne4. Even thus, it’s a more or less equal game balance. 17. Nf3 a5 18. Nd2 Nd6 19. a4 g6 20. h3 Kg7 21. Rc5 Qd8 22. Rcc1 Qb6 23. Qc3 Ne4 24. Nxe4 Rxe4 25. Rb1 Qb4 26. Qxb4 axb4 27. b3 f5 28. f3 Re6 29. Kf2 Kf6 30. h4 Ke7 31. Rbd1 Kd6 32. Rd3 b6 33. g3 Rae8 34. Red1 Rf8 35. R3d2 Rfe8 36. Rd3 Rf8 37. R3d2
