1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... h7h6 Some strong players have tried This strange little move. The idea is to stop White from developing their bishop to g5. Of course, it's not better than more natural moves, but it has the benefit of side-stepping more well-known opening theory. 4. g2g3  4... g8f6  5. f1g2  5... f8d6  6. e1g1  6... e8g8  7. b2b3 A good move, protecting c4 and preparing to develop the bishop. 7... b7b6  8. c1b2  8... c8b7  9. c4d5 Interestingly, no one has captured the pawn in this position before, although we will have a transposition later. 9... e6d5  10. b1c3  10... b8d7  11. a1c1  11... a7a6 A necessary move to avoid Nc3-b5. Now, White must decide on a plan of action. 12. f3h4 The knight heads to f5. 12... f8e8  13. h4f5  13... d7f8 [%c_effect f8;square;f8;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] But this is a strange decision—there's no need to let the bishop go. 14. e2e3  14... f8e6  15. f5d6  15... c7d6 [%c_effect d6;square;d6;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] A dubious positional decision, as the pawn becomes weak. 16. a2a4 Played to hinder Black's play on the queenside. 16... e6g5  17. c3e2 A typical knight journey. 17... g5e4  18. e2f4  18... b6b5  19. f2f3  19... e4g5  20. h2h4  20... g5h7  21. d1d2  21... b5a4  22. b3a4  22... a6a5  23. b2a3  23... h7f8 [%c_effect f8;square;f8;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 24. c1c3 [%c_effect c3;square;c3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Preparing to double rooks on the c-file. 24... g7g5 This move is not that effective now. 25. h4g5  25... h6g5  26. f4h3  26... g5g4  27. f3g4  27... f6g4  28. h3f4 [%c_effect f4;square;f4;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] There are better options. 28... d8g5  29. g2f3  29... g4f6 [%c_effect f6;square;f6;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 30. a3d6  30... g5g3  31. d2g2  31... g3g2  32. g1g2 The endgame is a nightmare for Black: too many weaknesses and an exposed king. 32... a8a6  33. d6e5 [%c_effect e5;square;e5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The most accurate. 33... f8d7  34. f1b1 [%c_effect b1;square;b1;type;GreatFind;persistent;true]
