1. c2c4  1... c7c6  2. d2d4  2... d7d5  3. g1f3  3... g8f6  4. b1c3  4... d5c4  5. a2a4  5... c8f5  6. f3e5  6... e7e6  7. f2f3  7... f8b4  8. e5c4  8... e8g8  9. e1f2  9... f6d5  10. c3a2 An obvious move and a novelty. The fork threat on e4  prevents Black from saving his dark-squared bishop. 10... b7b5 Hovhannisyan is practically forced to search for active,  dynamic play. 11. a2b4  11... b5c4  12. b4a2  12... c6c5 The same policy. 13. e2e4  13... c5d4  14. f1c4  14... d5b6  15. c4e2  15... f5g6  16. a4a5 Here too White managed to consolidate and Anton will  now use his rook pawns to further limit the black pieces. 16... b6c8  17. a2b4  17... c8e7  18. h2h4  18... h7h5  19. b4d3  19... b8c6  20. c1f4  20... c6a5 Hovhannisyan wants to get rid of the queenside  pawns. 21. d1a4  21... a5c6  22. b2b4  22... e6e5 Black hopes that he will have time to play f7-f6 and then  bring his bishop back into life. But he is about to be unplesantly  surprised. 23. b4b5 Energetic play by Anton. The passer will create huge headaches  for the second player. 23... e5f4  24. b5c6  24... d8d6  25. h1c1  25... f8c8  26. a4b4 With the strong passer on c6 Anton is happy to  play an endgame. Moreover, his poorly situated (for the middlegame) king  will immediately enter the battle once that the queens are swapped. 26... d6d8  27. a1a6  27... c8c7  28. d3f4  28... a8c8  29. e2b5  29... d4d3  30. b4c5  30... e7c6 The last chance for Hovhanissyan is connected with  tactics again. The moment is also chosen correctly, as the game is  entering the timetrouble phase. 31. b5c6  31... d8h4  32. g2g3  32... h4f6  33. c5c3 The same queenless policy. 33... d3d2  34. c3d2  34... g6e4  35. f3e4  35... c7c6 Now White goes for an endgame. 36. e4e5 Missing a brilliancy! 36... c6c2  37. e5f6  37... c2d2  38. f2e3  38... c8c1  39. e3d2  39... c1h1 All Back needs to do to survive is to trade the remaining two white pawns for all his four.  Unfortunately for him, the f6 one is a very tough nut to crack.
