1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... d7d6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... g8f6  5. b1c3  5... a7a6  6. g2g3 This positional line is a rare occurrence at the top level. 6... e7e5  7. d4b3  7... f8e7  8. c1g5 It seems like Le is all about the d5 square. 8... c8e6 [#] 9. f2f4 Nope, he has another idea on his mind. 9... e5f4 Vachier-Lagrave does not intend to allow f4-f5. 10. g5f4 Or else Le will have to part with his dark-squared bishop. 10... b8c6  11. d1d2  11... e8g8  12. e1c1  12... c6e5 The most obvious reply. Both sides  prepare for play on their flanks and Black can be happy with the opening  outcome. 13. b3d4 An accurate move. 13... e6d7  14. c1b1  14... a8c8  15. h2h3 Too sluggish! 15... b7b5 Now Vachier-Lagrave would be the first one to push his knight  pawn in the battle for the vital central squares. 16. a2a3 Once again Le  is not afraid to light a match near the queenside petrol station. 16... d8b6  17. g3g4  17... b5b4 This is the reason why h2-h3 migth be too slow.  Vachier-Lagrave is the first one to open up lines. The Frenchman had  massive lead on the clock. 18. a3b4  18... b6b4  19. g4g5  19... c8c3 The only move,  but a good one. 20. g5f6 Best. But Vachier-Lagrave keeps blitzing the strongest moves.  20... f8b8  21. d4b3 Le spent his last remaining few minutes, but could not find the amazing resource. 21... c3b3 Third strong blow in a row. 22. c2b3  22... b4e4  23. b1a1 Now  it all finishes in a jiffy. 23... e7f6
