1. e2e4  1... d7d6  2. d2d4  2... g8f6  3. b1c3  3... e7e5 Tang decided to surprise his well-prepared opponent and deviated from his usual open games. 4. g1f3  4... b8d7  5. f1c4  5... f8e7 \"The Philidor was a surprise, but not a very unpleasant one, because White gets a nice position most of the time.\" (Dominguez) 6. a2a4  6... e8g8  7. e1g1  7... c7c6  8. f1e1  8... h7h6 A relatively rare continuation. 9. a4a5 [%c_effect a5;square;a5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Whenever possible, White should grab as much space as he can on the queenside. This move not only deprives the black queen of active posts on the queenside, it prepares a timely destruction of the opponent's pawn chain. 9... d8c7  10. h2h3  10... f8e8  11. c4a2 Both sides are making useful moves, with the bishop moving away from a possible d6-d5 and/or Nd7-e5. 11... e7f8 This one is perhaps not as useful, as Black may need the f8-square for the rook at some point. 12. c1d2 A careful move, and a novelty. 12... a8b8  13. d4d5 The pawn structure now changes and it will look more like a Najdorf/Ruy Lopez Yates line than anything else. 13... b7b5  14. d5c6  14... c7c6 Dominguez was happy with the outcome of the game, which he considered advantageous and risk-free. 15. f3h2  15... c8b7  16. h2g4  16... b5b4 The only active try. 17. g4f6 And Dominguez decided to play slowly. 17... d7f6  18. c3d5  18... f6d5  19. a2d5  19... c6c7  20. d5b3 [%c_effect b3;square;b3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] An excellent move—this bishop is far superior to its counterpart. Actually, both white bishops are. 20... b7c6  21. a5a6  21... f8e7 A blunder. 22. d1h5 And a miss. 22... e7f6  23. d2e3  23... e8d8  24. h5g4  24... g8f8  25. e1d1 White's play is straightforward and strong—he simply aims at the weak points in the enemy camp. 25... c6b5  26. g4f3  26... f6g5 So finally Tang managed to swap off the weaker of his two bishops. 27. e3g5  27... h6g5  28. f3h5 But this swap came at the price of a pawn. 28... b5c4  29. h5g5  29... c4b3  30. c2b3  30... c7c2 A desperate counterattack in time-trouble. 31. g5e3  31... c2b2  32. e3a7  32... b2b3 Tang restores the material balance. 33. d1d6 [%c_effect d6;square;d6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] A simple trick, but effective. 33... d8c8  34. a7d7  34... b3c3  35. a1d1
