1. e2e4  1... g8f6 The Alekhine Defense is popular in quick time controls but not so much in classical games. The problem is that modern opening theory shows some theoretical problems with this defense, which sometimes leads Black into a passive game. 2. e4e5  2... f6d5  3. d2d4  3... d7d6  4. c2c4  4... d5b6  5. e5d6 A good and solid choice, leading to positional play and a confortable position for White. 5... e7d6  6. b1c3  6... f8e7  7. f1d3  7... e8g8  8. g1e2  8... c7c6 A move played by Naroditsky on other occasions. 9. e1g1  9... b8a6  10. a2a3 A good move, supporting the b2-b4 advance. 10... d6d5 [%c_effect d5;square;d5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This move is hasty: it's better to take the knight to c7 straight away. 11. c4c5  11... b6d7  12. b2b4  12... a6c7  13. c1e3 A new move. Developing a piece is always a solid choice. 13... e7f6  14. b4b5 Black's position is already very unpleasant, suffocated on the queenside and without easy development. 14... c7e6  15. d3f5 This move eliminates one of Black's themes, which is to capture on c5 with the knight and then play d4. But 15.Qa4 is a more accurate way to play. 15... f8e8  16. d1a4  16... d7b8 [%c_effect b8;square;b8;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This is better than 16...Qc7, since the threat of Nxc5 forces White to move the bishop back, and Black has more ways to complete the development. 17. f5d3  17... g7g6  18. a1b1  18... c8d7 Black's plans involve Bg5 to exchange bishops and Ng7 to take the knight to f5 or a6 to define the position of the queenside. 19. h2h3  19... f6g5  20. e3g5  20... d8g5  21. a4c2 A slow move, losing the initiative. 21... g5h4  22. f2f4  22... e6g7 The worst is over for Black now. 23. b5c6  23... b7c6  24. c2d2 Perhaps White should consider forcing the game with a typical exchange sacrifice: 24... d7f5  25. b1b7  25... f5c8  26. b7b3  26... b8d7 Playing for a win, a characteristic of the Naroditsky/Hess duo throughout the tournament. If they wanted a draw, they could return the bishop to f5. 27. f4f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 27... g6f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;Mistake;persistent;true] Changing the character of the position, but this favors White. 28. d3f5  28... d7c5  29. f5h7 [%c_effect h7;square;h7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] An important tactical detail. 29... h4h7  30. d4c5 Black's king has little protection, and White's knights have a lot of potential, in addition to the rook on the third rank ready to attack. 30... c8a6  31. f1f2  31... g7e6
