1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... c7c6  3. g1f3  3... g8f6  4. b1c3  4... d5c4  5. e2e4  5... b7b5  6. f1e2  6... e7e6  7. a2a4 Exploring less charted territory. There were just four games played so far in this line but since it got some exposure, Gelfand decided to uncork his novelty. 7... b5b4  8. e4e5  8... b4c3  9. e5f6  9... c3b2  10. f6g7  10... b2a1q  11. g7h8q A picturesque position! I am not sure, in which other opening line we get four queens as early as on move 11! 11... d8a5  12. f3d2 \"I kind of prepared this sacrifice, but I could not remember so much.\" (Gelfand) 12... c4c3  13. e1g1 The actual sacrifice, which was already forced. 13... c3d2  14. c1d2  14... a1d1  15. f1d1 And, here we are, almost a \"normal\" position. At least from a queen count perspective. 15... a5a4 Already a very risky decision by Movsesian. It is not about the pawn, rather the Armenian GM tries to keep the enemy pieces tied up. 16. h8h7 Gelfand decided to try an original plan. Rather than mating the enemy king he wants... 16... a7a5 Movsesian is trying to bring the rook out for the defence. 17. h2h4 This is what the Israeli GM had in mind. The pawn is extremely powerful. 17... a8a7 Waiting for the pawn to make another step. 18. h4h5  18... c8a6 Now there is no Be2-h5, but: 19. e2f3 is equally good for White. 19... a7d7  20. h5h6 Gelfand forces matters. 20... d7d4  21. f3h5  21... d4d7  22. h7g8
