1. e2e4  1... c7c6  2. g1f3  2... d7d5  3. b1c3 Vachier-Lagravve's favorite anti-Caro-Kann  line. It seems as the leading French player attracted a lot of his  countrymen to follow him. 3... c8g4  4. h2h3  4... g4f3  5. d1f3  5... e7e6 The most  solid set up. The light-squared bishop was traded and Mamedyarov posts his pawns on the same color. 6. f1e2  6... f8c5  7. e1g1  7... g8f6  8. f1d1  8... c5d4  9. f3f4 A rich  pawn sacrifice. 9... d4c3  10. b2c3  10... f6e4  11. c1a3  11... b8d7  12. a1b1 A logical move and a novelty. 12... d8a5 Mamedyarov is trying to disrupt the cooperation of the white  pieces. 13. a3b4  13... a5d8 Now that the bishop is standing on the road of the rook the  queen can retreat. 14. c3c4  14... c6c5  15. c4d5 An important intermediate move. Black's king is in  danger. 15... e6d5  16. b4c3  16... e8g8 A no-brainer. Mamedyarov gives back the pawn,  but safeguards the king. 17. b1b7  17... e4c3  18. d2c3  18... d7f6  19. e2f3 A natural development. The bishop is much superior  to the knight and the white major pieces are super-active which  compensates for Vachier-Lagrave's worse pawn structure. The d5 pawn is an  obvious target and the pressure forces Mamedyarov to part with a it sooner or later. 19... d8a5  20. c3c4  20... a5a4  21. b7c7  21... a8b8  22. c7c5 Correct. 22... b8b4  23. c2c3 Once again Vachier-Lagrave plays for the maximum. 23... b4b2 Going wrong. 24. f4d4  24... d5c4  25. c5c4  25... a4c2  26. a2a4  26... a7a5  27. c4c5 White consolidated and now wins a second pawn. The rest was easy. 27... h7h6  28. c5a5  28... f8e8  29. a5a8  29... e8a8  30. f3a8  30... b2a2  31. a8c6  31... g7g6  32. d1e1  32... g8g7  33. c3c4  33... a2a3  34. c6b5  34... a3d3  35. d4e5  35... d3d2
