1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... g8f6  3. f3e5  3... d7d6  4. e5d3 One of the many attempts to get \"a game\" against the Petroff. 4... f6e4  5. d3f4  5... d6d5  6. d2d4  6... f8e7  7. f1d3  7... e8g8  8. e1g1  8... e4f6  9. h2h3  9... f8e8  10. f1e1 This obvious move is a novelty and was played after lengthy thought. 10... e7d6  11. e1e8  11... d8e8  12. b1c3 Neither did White get anything out of the opening here. The full symmetry suggests approximate equality, despite the extra tempo for White and the slightly improved position of his kingside knight. 12... c7c6  13. c1d2  13... b8d7  14. d1f3  14... d7f8  15. a1e1 Yes, White got the open file, but how can you use it when there are no infiltration squares $2 15... e8d8  16. c3e2  16... c8d7 Many people would have thought about shaking hands already, either here, or after a few more maneuvers and trading along the only open file. 17. b2b3 Gukesh, however, has another opinion on the matter. For starters, he finds a plan. 17... d8b6  18. e1b1 [%c_effect b1;square;b1;type;Interesting;persistent;true] White is further preparing the c2-c4 advance. 18... a8e8  19. c2c4  19... d6b4 [%c_effect b4;square;b4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The same idea is best here as well, and Yilmazyerli is correctly trying to seal the queenside. 20. d2e3 Continuing to play for imbalances. 20... b6a5  21. a2a3 [%c_effect a3;square;a3;type;Brilliant;persistent;true] Wow $1 That's what great mastery is all about. Any position may become dull or may turn into a fantastic opportunity when played by a creative genius $1 21... b4d6 Yilmazyerli is once again very cautious. 22. b3b4 There is no longer a way back, and Black needs to accept the challenge. 22... a5a3  23. c4c5  23... d6c7 [%c_effect c7;square;c7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Now Black is creative and brave $1 24. e3c1  24... a3a2  25. e2c3 The queen is trapped, but... 25... e8e1  26. g1h2  26... a2b1 [%c_effect b1;square;b1;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Yilmazyerli has foreseen all of this. 27. c3b1  27... e1c1 Black has enough material for her majesty. 28. g2g3 His rook is in trouble, though; therefore, Black rushes back home. 28... c1e1  29. f4e2 [%c_effect e2;square;e2;type;Interesting;persistent;true] With the clear intention of trapping the black rook now for a change after Qf3-e3-d2 $1 29... f8e6 [%c_effect e6;square;e6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Yilmazyerli finds powerful counterplay, and in the process, he sets a nasty trap.
