1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... b7b6  4. g2g3  4... c8a6  5. b2b3  5... f8b4 A solid opening quickly leads to a typical QID setup. 6. c1d2  6... b4e7  7. b1c3  7... d7d5  8. c4d5  8... e6d5  9. f1g2  9... e8g8  10. e1g1  10... f8e8  11. f3e5 The main move. This might have taken Sevian by surprise, as he started to think a lot from here on. 11.Rc1 is the modern continuation. 11... a6b7  12. a1c1  12... b8d7  13. d2f4  13... d7f8  14. h2h4 [%c_effect h4;square;h4;type;Interesting;persistent;true] A move that was played in just one over-the-board game, and this game was one of Mishra's games $1 Somehow Sevian missed it (or forgot about it). 14... h7h6  15. e2e3  15... f8e6 [#] 16. g3g4 A novelty upon his own game $1 White is obstructing the opponent's central counterplay. 16... c7c6  17. f4g3 But this retreat spoiled White's opening idea. 17... c6c5 [%c_effect c5;square;c5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Sevian grabs his chance. Now that g4-g5 is not a threat, this had become possible. 18. d4c5  18... e7c5  19. d1f3  19... d8e7 Black has equalized. 20. e5d3 Now Black even gets a chance to play for an advantage. 20... a8d8  21. d3c5 Taking the chance to get rid of the strong piece. 21... b6c5 Black too, is happy to modify his pawn structure. 22. g3e5  22... f6d7 The knight is transfered to a safer square. 23. e5g3  23... d7b6  24. f1e1  24... d8d7 Unfortunately for him, Sevian chooses the wrong plan. His idea is correct, and the d5-d4 break should be prepared, but his execution fails concretely. 25. f3f5 Aiming at the pawns. 25... e8d8  26. c3e2 [%c_effect e2;square;e2;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Very deep play by Mishra $1 26... d8e8 It might have been here that Sevian realised his plan would not work. 27. e1d1 The loss of time starts to tell and the hanging pawns are under pressure. 27... e8d8  28. e2f4 And Black decided that the center would collapse anyway and sacrificed a pawn. 28... e6f4
