1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. g1f3  2... g8f6  3. e2e3  3... c7c5  4. c2c3 A curious opening choice for such an aggressive player, but he will find a way to attack even after a seemingly harmless scheme, as we will soon see. 4... e7e6 On the board, there's a Semi-Slav Defense with inverted colors. As I have already written several times, it's very difficult to analyze opening variations with inverted colors, as the goal is not the same when playing Black or White, so the dynamics change, and what can be considered a success with one color can be a failure when with the other. 5. f1d3  5... b8d7 This is a preventive move against the capture on c5. Black's light-squared bishop is not in trouble since it will be developed on b7. 6. b1d2  6... f8d6  7. e1g1  7... e8g8  8. f1e1  8... d8c7 [%c_effect c7;square;c7;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This move is inaccurate, as the black queen is not well placed on c7 if the c-file opens. This opinion is not shared by most chess players, as this is the most popular move. 9. e3e4 [%c_effect e4;square;e4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This push is necessary to free White's pieces. 9... c5d4  10. c3d4  10... d5e4  11. d2e4 I see many chess players afraid of playing positions with an isolated queen's pawn, but it's necessary to understand that in chess there are static elements (which are long-term, like an isolated pawn) and dynamic (which are short-term, like free development of pieces and attacking chances). The two elements must constantly be weighed. Here the advantage belongs to White, especially due to the terrible placement of the black queen on c7. 11... b7b6  12. c1g5 White's moves flow naturally, and his position is very active. A didactic illustration of the advantages of having an isolated pawn on d4. 12... f6e4 [%c_effect e4;square;e4;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This move makes things worse. 13. e1e4 [%c_effect e4;square;e4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] A move that comes naturally to a player with an attacking style. The rook is going to h4. 13... c8b7  14. a1c1  14... c7b8  15. e4h4  15... f7f5 Forced. 16. d3c4 [%c_effect c4;square;c4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Attacking the weakness that was created on e6. 16... b8e8  17. d1b3 [%c_effect b3;square;b3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Increasing the pressure on e6. 17... g8h8  18. c1e1 The e6-pawn is lost. White's position is already winning. 18... b7e4  19. c4e6 There are other good moves as well: 19... e8g6  20. g5d2 [%c_effect d2;square;d2;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The best move. 20... d7f6  21. f3g5 The knight joins the attack. 21... f5f4  22. h4h7 [%c_effect h7;square;h7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The exchange sacrifice is very good now. 22... f6h7  23. g5e4  23... f4f3  24. g2g3  24... d6e7  25. d4d5 White has two pawns for the exchange plus a deadly bishop on e6 and attacking chances. The final result is not in doubt. 25... a8d8  26. b3a4 White has other options, but this move is good enough. 26... a7a5  27. a4c6 The queenside cannot be protected anymore. 27... e7b4  28. d2b4  28... a5b4  29. h2h4 [%c_effect h4;square;h4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Avoiding the activity of the black knight with Ng5 and opening up space for the king. 29... d8a8  30. e4d6  30... a8a7  31. c6b6
