context: 1. b2b4 A logical initial move, opening the way for the queen and attacking the weakest point of the position. In the conventional chess initial position this point is f7, but in this position it's g7. The problem with this move is that it allows quick counterplay with …a7-a5. 1... b7b5 Black decides to copy White's first move, a generally valid strategy, but in this case it's not the best one. 2. f2f3 This move seems a bit timid, but it's necessary to prepare development and getting the pawn to f4 seems doubtful with a black queen on a8. The best move for White, however, is to open the queenside with 2... d7d6 This move is strange, as it doesn't help Black's position in any visible way. 3. a2a4  3... b5a4  4. a1a4 White could postpone the capture and start with 4... c8b6  5. a4b5  5... a7a6  6. b5g5 The wrong square. 6... h7h6  7. g5g4 Once again a different square than I expected. 7... g8h7  8. c1d3  8... f8h8 Black has managed to finish development and has a good position. The small weakness on a6 isn't important, compared to the benefits of the position, mainly the chance to start a pawn push in the center. 9. b1a2  9... e7e5 Too early. It's better to prepare the advance more carefully, starting with 9...Ba7 or 9...Kh8. 10. g1b6 A good move to finish development and to gain control off the d5-square. 10... c7b6  11. d1c3  11... d8e6  12. c3d5 This allows Black to play f7-f5. 12... f7f5  13. d5b6 White takes the chance to complicate the game. To be honest, when I first looked at the position my impression was that Black had a big advantage and that some very strong sequence should be possible. This is not the case: the game is balanced. 13... f5g4  14. b6a8  14... e5e4  15. d3f2  15... g8h8 Removing the knight from the pin, but it's better to capture on f3 first. 16. f2g4  16... e6d4  17. c2c3  17... e4f3  18. e2f3 The wrong capture. Now Black is better. 18... h7d3  19. f1f2  19... b8a7  20. c3d4  20... a7d4  21. f2g3  21... e8a8  22. e1e7  22... h6h5  23. g4e3  23... d4e5  24. g3f2  24... a8b8  25. a2b1  25... d3b1  26. h1b1 White is a pawn up, but Black still has saving chances. 26... a6a5  27. b4b5  27... a5a4  28. e3c2  28... f8c8  29. c2a3  29... e5d4  30. f2e2  30... d4c5  31. b1a1  31... d6d5  32. e7e5  32... c5a3  33. e5h5  33... h8g8  34. a1a3  34... b8b5  35. a3a4 White is two pawns up and the rest is easy. 35... c8e8  36. e2f2
