1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. b1c3  3... f8b4  4. e2e3  4... b7b6 Black has many options in this classic Nimzo-Indian line. 5. f1d3  5... c8b7  6. g1f3  6... e8g8  7. e1g1  7... c7c5  8. c3a4 This move highlights the problem of not capturing the knight earlier. If you play similar positions with Black, always watch out when White castles and gets rid of the knight pin. If you forget about it, you might find yourself with a trapped bishop. 8... c5d4 The bishop prepares to come back. 9. a2a3 There's a small detail White has to keep in mind when choosing this instead of 9.exd4. In 1999, I played 9.a3 with White and thought I was very clever doing so, but fifteen minutes later, I wasn't sure anymore. Actually, I'm still not sure about it 25 years later. 9... b4e7  10. e3d4  10... d8c7 I didn't know this move. I used to play 10...d6, when White is slightly better but it's not a big deal. 11. f1e1 This prevents 11...Ng4, which can simply be answered by 12.h3, but allows Black to play 11...d5. 11... d7d5  12. c4c5 The only way to fight for an advantage. 12... b6c5  13. a4c5  13... e7c5  14. d4c5  14... c7c5 White has sacrificed a pawn, but it's clear there's good compensation with both bishops pointing at Black's king. 15. c1f4 A new move and not the most accurate. 15... c5b6  16. f3e5 The bishop is a little less menacing on f4, but of course, Black has to be careful. 16... b7a6 The best way to fight against the bishop pair is to try to exchange one of the bishops. Sarana, naturally refuses it, but the bishop on c2 gives Black some extra tactical chances. 17. d3c2  17... f8c8  18. b2b4  18... b8c6  19. a1c1  19... c6e5  20. f4e5  20... c8c4 Another benefit of forcing White's bishop to c2: the rook uses the excellent c4-square as an outpost and Black is ready to double on the c-file. 21. e5f6 White cedes the bishop pair for a good cause: damaging the kingside and creating threats around the black king. 21... g7f6  22. d1h5  22... g8f8  23. c2b3 Up to now, this is a tense and well-played game. The position remains very complicated, and we will see a few mistakes in the remainder of the game. 23... c4c6 This is a bad move, but I call the reader's attention to Arjun's style. He's not afraid of taking big risks to play for a win. Sometimes this comes with a few mistakes, but it also makes the position hard to play for his opponent. 24. h5h7  24... a8c8 Very natural, but it's better to place the rook on d8, protecting the d5-pawn. 25. c1d1 White is threatening to capture the d-pawn. 25... d5d4 This surprisingly loses. 26. h2h4 Missing a golden chance. 26... d4d3  27. h4h5  27... b6d4 Another natural move that turns out to be losing due to an amazing refutation. 28. e1e4  28... d4b2  29. b3a4  29... c6c1  30. h7h6  30... f8e7 After all these adventures, maybe a draw would do justice to both players. But if you want to fight for justice, maybe you're better off looking for a lawyer rather than a chess game. To his credit, Arjun prevails after another crazy game—this can't be a coincidence.
