Ne5 see 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) – Tiviakov, Hoogeveen 2012. 9. c4. An unsophisticated treatment of the opening. For 9. Qe2 b6 10. 0-0-0 see Ivanchuk – Pelletier, Cap d’Agde 2013. 9. ... Bb4+ 10. Ke2. Short’s sense of humour? 10. ... c5 11. Qc2 cxd4 12. Bxd4 e5. Possibly finding the right moment for a Pawn sacrifice to catch the enemy King. 13. Bxe5 Re8 14. Kf1 Bg4 15. Bg3 Qa5 16. h3 Bh5. On 16. ... Qh5 17. Ne5 White consolidates. 17. a3 Rad8 18. Rd1 Bf8 19. Kg1 Ne4 20. Kh2 Nxg3 21. fxg3 Bxf3 22. gxf3 h5 23. h4 Bd6 24. Bh7+ Kf8 25. Be4 Qc7 26. Rhg1

26. ... b5? A blunder which cedes a second Pawn without compensation. We would have preferred 26. ... g5!? in order to meet 22. hxg5? by 22. ... Bxg3+!. 27. cxb5 Bc5? Consistent and catastrophic. 28. Rgf1 Rxd1 29. Rxd1 Qe7 30. Rd5 Rc8 31. Rxh5 Kg8 32. Bc6 1 : 0. For if 32. ... g6 then 33. Rxc5.
