1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... e7e6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... a7a6  5. h2h3 Well, players can move like this, evidently $1 When I was a kid, they taught us that White can never afford to lose tempi in the opening, especially in the Sicilian. But since the main lines have been explored too deeply, and some even started to get exhausted by the machines, the humans decided to adopt the fresh approach of making small, useful moves, rather than entering the computer jungle at once. 5... b8c6 Played after some thought. Black has plenty of moves to choose from. 6. d4c6  6... b7c6  7. f1d3  7... g8f6  8. e1g1  8... d7d5  9. b1d2  9... f8e7 So far both players have followed the only GM game played in the line. 10. b2b3 And here Vaishali deviated after some thought. 10... e8g8  11. c1b2  11... a6a5  12. a2a4 Completely deviating from Warmerdam's plan. 12... f6d7 [%c_effect d7;square;d7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] A common but nevertheless nice maneuver for Black. 13. f1e1  13... e7f6 This is why the previous move was played. 14. b2f6  14... d8f6  15. d2f3  15... c8a6  16. e4d5  16... c6d5  17. d3a6  17... a8a6 It is time to summarize the situation. White did not achieve any advantage from the opening. In fact, if she allows Black a chance to consolidate, it would be Vokhidov who would enjoy the better prospects, provided he places his rooks on the b- and c-files. 18. c2c4 That is why Vaishali opts for pawn trades. 18... a6d6 The impression is that Vokhidov is trying to unbalance the position in order to play for a win. 19. d1d2  19... d7c5 Complicating further... 20. d2a5 Vaishali accepts the challenge. 20... c5b3  21. a5b4  21... b3a1  22. b4d6  22... a1c2 The knight is out, but... 23. e1b1 [%c_effect b1;square;b1;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Highlighting the back-rank weakness. This means that Vokhidov needs to lose more tempi. 23... f6d8  24. c4c5  24... c2a3  25. b1b7  25... a3c4 And what is more important, the queens are traded. 26. d6d8  26... f8d8  27. c5c6 Thus the white passers are far enough advanced and well enough supported to wrap up the game. 27... g8f8  28. c6c7  28... d8c8  29. b7b8  29... c4d6  30. f3d4
