周桂珏 (Zhōu Guìjué) – 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán)
17th Chinese Chess League Division A Regular-Rapid “武陵山大裂谷杯” (“Wǔlíng Mountain Great Rift Valley Cup”); time control: 25 minutes plus 10 seconds per move; 重庆 (Chóngqìng), September 10, 2022
Sicilian Defence B23
1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 e6 3. f4 Nc6 4. g3?! Indeed, a dubious digression from 4. Nf3 d5 5. Bb5 — a tabiya of the so-called Grand Prix Attack.

8. ... Ng6. Or, by transposition, 8. ... Bg7 9. Bg2 Ng6⩱ and Black is already better, Al-Narzouqi – Al-Huwar, 15th UAE President’s Cup, Fujairah 2008.
9. Bg5 Be7 10. Bf4? White is anxious to hold her Pawns and save the best of two worlds — which, however, costs too much in terms of development and sustainability. 10. Bxe7 was called for.
10. ... Qb6

11. Qc1? Another very weak move. White has far more serious worries than defending the b2-Pawn.
11. ... Bd7 12. h4? As if White didn’t have enough trouble already, now she goes to solicit the Black Rook to take on the g-file.
12. ... Rg8 13. h5 Nxf4 14. gxf4 0-0-0. Obviously. White, with her King in the centre, is too cramped and too undeveloped to even think about defending herself.
