1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1c4  3... f8c5  4. d2d3  4... g8f6  5. e1g1  5... d7d6  6. c2c3  6... a7a6  7. a2a4  7... c5a7  8. f1e1  8... h7h6 [%c_effect h6;square;h6;type;Interesting;persistent;true] A very interesting plan that has been used many times in this position. Black simply wants to start the pawn advance on the kingside. 9. a4a5 A rare move. White will have some problems in the next moves, so Italian Opening theoreticians should probably analyze the main line with 9.Nbd2. 9... g7g5  10. c1e3 Neimann decides to exchange the dangerous a7-bishop. 10... g5g4  11. f3d2  11... a7e3 [%c_effect e3;square;e3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] An obvious move and also a novelty. 12. f2e3 [%c_effect e3;square;e3;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] It's curious to take on e3 with the pawn when the rook is no longer on the f-file, but now White looks more solid against the advance of Black's pawns. It's a difficult choice, but objectively it's better to take with the rook, although I still like Black's position. 12... f6h7 [%c_effect h7;square;h7;type;Interesting;persistent;true] A subtle move. The knight can go to g5 if necessary, protecting the f7-pawn. 13. d2f1  13... h6h5 Black is the winner of the opening battle, having achieved a clearly better position. 14. f1g3  14... d8g5  15. b1d2  15... c6e7 [%c_effect e7;square;e7;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This move allows for an excellent counterplay chance that Niemann doesn't waste. 16. d1a4 [%c_effect a4;square;a4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 16... c7c6  17. a4b4  17... h5h4  18. g3f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This is White's idea. 18... c8f5  19. e4f5  19... d6d5  20. c4b3  20... e8g8 [%c_effect g8;square;g8;type;Mistake;persistent;true][%cal da1a4,db4g4,dg4h4][%c_arrow a1a4;keyPressed;none;from;a1;opacity;0.8;to;a4;persistent;false,b4g4;keyPressed;none;from;b4;opacity;0.8;to;g4;persistent;false,g4h4;keyPressed;none;from;g4;opacity;0.8;to;h4;persistent;false] A blunder that immediately leads to a losing position. 21. a1a4 [%c_effect a4;square;a4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Gukesh certainly missed this pretty move, attacking pawns on the fourth rank. 21... g4g3  22. b4h4  22... g5h4  23. a4h4  23... g3h2  24. h4h2  24... f7f6  25. e3e4  25... f8f7  26. d2f3  26... f7g7  27. d3d4 [%c_effect d4;square;d4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] White is a clean pawn up and also has the positional advantage. Niemann wins the game without any problem. 27... e5d4  28. f3d4  28... h7g5  29. e4d5  29... e7d5  30. h2h6 [%c_effect h6;square;h6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 30... g8f7  31. g1f1  31... a8g8  32. c3c4  32... d5c7  33. c4c5  33... c7d5  34. b3d5  34... c6d5
