1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... g8f6  3. f3e5  3... d7d6  4. e5c4 An alternative to the more popular 4.Nf3. It has been played by some strong grandmasters, despite its harmless appearance and computer disapproval. 4... f6e4  5. d1e2  5... d8e7  6. b1c3 A rare choice. 6... e4c3  7. b2c3  7... c8g4 This novelty was played after some thought. 8. e2e7 Vidit clearly didn't expect Black's previous move. 8... f8e7  9. a1b1  9... b7b6  10. d2d4 Black will get a good position, so it's time for White to look for alternatives. 10... g4e6  11. a2a4 Moving the pawn so the knight can move, but the pawn on a4 can also be a target. 11... e8g8  12. c4e3  12... e7g5  13. c3c4  13... f8e8  14. h2h4 It's necessary to remove the bishop from its active position. 14... g5f6  15. c2c3  15... c7c5 [%c_effect c5;square;c5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Black's position is already more comfortable. 16. f1d3 [%c_effect d3;square;d3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Vidit reacts well to complicate the game. 16... b8c6 There are other tempting moves. 17. d4d5  17... c6e5  18. d3h7 [%c_effect h7;square;h7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 18... g8h7
