This was White's point. Alas, there is a drawback.
1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... d7d6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... g8f6  5. b1c3  5... a7a6  6. c1g5  6... e7e6  7. d1f3 A rare line, which became popular thanks to the efforts of the unforgettable Bronstein. Recently Nepomniachtchi added it to his repertoire as well. 7... f8e7  8. e1c1  8... d8a5 Vachier-Lagrave is as always perfectly prepared in his beloved Najdorf. 9. h2h4  9... c8d7 Black indicates that he would like to develop his knight to c6. 10. f1c4 After a heavy thought, Predke decided to switch to Sozin-like development. 10... b8c6  11. c4b3  11... h7h6  12. g5e3  12... c6e5  13. f3e2  13... a8c8  14. c1b1 Careful play by Predke. 14... b7b5  15. f2f4 Another major decision point. The Russian GM decided to force matters in the center. 15... e5g4  16. e4e5  16... d6e5  17. f4e5  17... g4e5  18. e3h6  18... h8h6  19. e2e5 As a result, Vachier-Lagrave won a hefty bishop pair and from here on every endgame he enters would be close (if not perfectly) winning for him. But before that he needs to solve the problem of his king in the middle. Right now Predke threatens various knight jumps, like Nd4-f5, or even Nd4xe6 $1 19... a5c7 Very useful $1 The white queen is removed from her optimal position. 20. e5e2  20... c7f4 Black finds a clever idea to insert the second rook into the assault. 21. h1h3  21... c8c5 The point behind Vahcier-Lagrave's play. The second rook enters the battle. 22. h3e3  22... f4g4  23. d4f3  23... d7c6  24. a2a4 This turns out to be a weakening. 24... e8f8  25. a4b5  25... a6b5  26. g2g3  26... b5b4 Black took full control and now pushes the knight to the edge. 27. c3a2  27... c5f5 The pin is unbearable and Predke goes for a forcing line. 28. f3d4  28... g4e2  29. e3e2  29... c6f3
