1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Bf4 e5 8. Bg5 a6 9. Na3 b5 10. Nd5 Be7 11. Bxf6 Bxf6 12. c3 Bg5 13. Nc2 Rb8 14. Be2 0-0 15. 0-0 Be6 16. Ndb4 Nxb4 17. Nxb4 Qb6 18. Qd3 Bc4 19. Qd1 Be6 20. Qd3 a5. Disdaining the offer of a draw by repetition. “I think the position is playable for Black and so I try to play, keep playing, and try to find something”, 朱锦尔 (Zhū Jǐn’ěr) said afterwards.
21. Nd5 Qb7 22. Rad1 b4 23. c4? A novelty and an error, as it will become clear soon. Theory says 23. cxb4 axb4 24. Qg3 Bh6 25. Bc4 Kh8 26. Qd3 Qa7 27. a3 bxa3 28. bxa3 f5 29. Nb6 Rxb6 30. Bxe6 fxe4 31. Qxe4 Rb2 32. Qh4 Bg5 33. Qg3 Bd8 34. Kh1 Qc5 35. f4 e4 36. Rfe1 Qc2 37. Rc1 Qd2 38. Rcd1 Qc2 39. Rc1 Qd2 40. Rcd1 ½ : ½ Bošković – Vučković, 9th Serbian Team Chess Championship, Palić 2014.
23. ... b3! 24. a3 Rfc8 25. Qg3 Bd8 26. Kh1 Rc5 27. Nc3 Qc6. The c-Pawn finally falls, as White’s retaliation against the e-Pawn concedes Black a strong initiative.
28. f4 Bxc4 29. Bxc4 Rxc4 30. fxe5 dxe5 31. Qxe5 Bc7 32. Qh5 Qe6 33. Rd5 f6 34. Rb5

34. ... Rd4! 朱锦尔 (Zhū Jǐn’ěr) confidently sacrifices a Pawn for a strong attacking position.
35. Rxb8+ Bxb8 36. Qxa5 Rd2

37. Qh5? An unfortunate passage and a cause for further trouble, but also after the comparatively better 37. Rd1 Qc4!∓↑ Black retains the upper hand.
37. ... Rxb2 38. Rd1 Bd6 39. Nb5

39. ... Qxe4 40. Qf7+!? A last desperate trick.
40. ... Kh8. Sic et simpliciter. The conclusion comes easy:
41. Rg1 Bc5 42. h3 h6 43. Nc3 Qa8 44. Nd5 Bxg1 45. Kxg1 Rxg2+! 0 : 1.
