1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. b1c3  3... g8f6  4. f1b5 The Four Knights is back in the spotlight. 4... c6d4 Rubinstein's beloved move, which is now considered Black's most solid choice. 5. e1g1  5... c7c6  6. b5d3  6... d4f3  7. d1f3  7... d7d6  8. d3e2 A somewhat unusual situation has arisen. We do not often see the queen in front of the minor pieces, except for in the Caro-Kann, perhaps. 8... h7h5 Vidit is trying to capitalize on the awkward-looking queen. 8...g6 is another, more solid idea. 9. d2d3 [#] 9... g7g6 With the obvious intention of trapping ( $1) the white queen after Bc8-g4, h5-h4 and Bf8-h6 $1 10. c1g5 At least one of the bishops will pave the road for Her Majesty. 10... f8e7 Black breaks the pin, while pointing to the fact that the bishop on g5 might in fact be vulnerable to discovered attacks. 11. a1d1  11... c8g4 Vidit is playing for the initiative $1 This is a very interesting and concrete tactical idea $1 12. f3e3  12... f6d5 The point $1 The bishop on g5 is exposed. 13. e4d5  13... e7g5  14. f2f4 An only move. 14... g5h6 Both sides are heavily pinned. 15. d5c6  15... b7c6  16. d3d4 Adding more fuel to the fire. The black king is in the center and this is all that matters to Duda. 16... d8b6  17. c3a4 The king should stay in the center, no matter what. The exclamation is for the courage $1 17... b6a5  18. d4e5 What else $1 The queen was removed to gain this one tempo, which opens up the black king. 18... a5a4 Vidit follows the principled line. 19. e2g4  19... h5g4  20. e5d6  20... e8f8 For the price of a pawn, Duda has managed to keep the opponent's king in the danger zone, but Vidit is quickly running toward safety. The price of every move increases drastically. 21. e3e7  21... f8g7  22. e7e5 Centralizing the queen with a tempo is the human choice. 22... g7g8 A dreadful move $1 The king cuts the communication between the rooks, and this is all White needs to organize his heavy pieces with decisive effect. 23. d6d7  23... a8d8  24. f4f5 The files open up at the most awkward moment for the black king. 24... g6g5  25. d1d6 A very artistic win. Duda is setting up a pretty mating net. 25... a4b4  26. e5e8  26... h6f8 And the final touch... 27. d6g6  27... f7g6  28. e8e6  28... g8h7
