1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... g8f6  3. b1c3 Needing the win to equalize the match, Hansen decides to run away from a theoretical battle in the main lines of the Petrov Defense. 3... b8c6  4. f1b5  4... c6d4 This is probably the most reliable move for Black. I've seen Dominguez play since the beginning of his international career in the early 2000s and at that time he already had a reputation for having a well-studied opening repertoire. 5. e1g1  5... c7c6  6. b5a4 This is inaccurate. 6... a7a5 A very good move that makes the bishop feel awkward on the queenside. A very similar idea was tried in a game that I analyzed previously from this same tournament (Bortnyk - Xiong, CGC KO 2022). 7. a4b3 Hansen spent a long time on this move, a clear indication that he wasn't feeling very comfortable. 7... d7d6  8. f3g5 This is not a good move, but Hansen certainly didn't like his position and was trying to change the trend of the game. 8.Nxd4 or 8.h3 are better, although Black has the advantage in both cases. 8... d4b3  9. a2b3  9... h7h6  10. g5f3  10... c8g4 This a very natural move, but the pin is not so dangerous. 11. h2h3  11... g4h5  12. d2d3  12... f8e7  13. g1h1 A useful move in order to play g4 or Ne2, as in the game. 13... f6d7  14. c3e2  14... h5f3  15. g2f3  15... e7g5  16. f1g1 Hansen was already very low on time and this is probably the reason why he played this losing move. 16... d8f6 Now the pawn is stuck on f3 and White is completely paralyzed. 17. e2g3  17... g5c1  18. a1c1  18... g7g6  19. c1a1  19... d7f8 Improving the knight's position. 20. g3f1  20... f8e6  21. f1d2  21... b7b5  22. g1g3  22... h6h5  23. d2f1  23... e8g8  24. f1e3  24... g8h7  25. e3g2  25... a5a4 Black dominates the entire board. A dream position, especially if you only need to make a draw to win the match.
