It's better to return the bishop. 9. d2c3  9... f6e4  10. a4c2  10... a7a5 [%c_effect a5;square;a5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] It's better to capture the bishop straight away, although this doesn't solve the problems. 11. f1d3  11... f7f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This move is active but creates further weaknesses. It was probably better to take on c3. 12. e1g1  12... c8d7  13. b2b4 [%c_effect b4;square;b4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] White has everything she could hope for in the opening, but of course this is a rapid game, and anything can happen. 13... d8e7  14. b4b5  14... c6d8  15. c3b2  15... c7c6  16. c4d5 Another option is to simply play 16.a4, followed by 17.Ba3. 16... c6d5  17. c2c7  17... d8f7  18. f1c1 [%c_effect c1;square;c1;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This is inaccurate. 18... f7d6 [%c_effect d6;square;d6;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 19. a3a4 [%c_effect a4;square;a4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Now it's even worse, as the bishop will come to a3 with added power. 19... e8c8  20. c7b6  20... d6c4  21. d3c4  21... d5c4  22. b2a3  22... e7f6  23. f3e5  23... d7e8  24. c1c4 The pawns start falling. 24... f5f4  25. c4c8  25... a8c8  26. b6b7  26... f4e3  27. f2f3 [%c_effect f3;square;f3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The safest. No one wants to give any tactical chance to Vachier-Lagrave. But the capture on c8 also wins. 27... c8c3  28. b7e4  28... f6d8  29. a3c5  29... h7h6  30. a1e1  30... d8g5  31. e4a8  31... g5h5  32. g2g4
