1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. f1c4  2... g8f6  3. d2d3  3... b8c6  4. b1c3  4... c6a5 Capturing the bishop is logical, but White gains good central control with the pawns on c4 and e4. It's hard to judge who benefits. Alternatively, Black can develop the bishop to c5, leading to play typical of the Italian opening, or play 4...Bb4 and maybe ...d7-d5 next. 5. d1f3 [%c_effect f3;square;f3;type;Interesting;persistent;true] An interesting development plan, tried in many games. The knight goes to e2, but only after the queen is placed on an active square. 5... a5c4  6. d3c4  6... d7d6  7. g1e2  7... f8e7  8. h2h3  8... e8g8  9. e2g3  9... c7c6  10. e1g1  10... c8e6  11. b2b3  11... d8d7 Both sides have played sensible moves, although I feel that Black should have looked for an alternative sooner, since White's position looks more comfortable. 12. a2a4 [%c_effect a4;square;a4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] A good move, preventing the b7-b5 pawn break. 12... a8d8  13. f1d1  13... d7c8  14. c1e3 [%c_effect e3;square;e3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This natural move is a novelty. The bishop is better on e3 than on b2. 14... a7a6  15. a4a5 White has a comfortable advantage, because Black cannot realize the break on d5. All that remains is to try the breakthrough at f5 instead. 15... f6e8 [%c_effect e8;square;e8;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The plan is g6-Ng7-f5. 16. e3b6  16... d8d7  17. d1d3 Since White ends up losing his advantage in the next few moves, it's time to look for improvements. 17... g7g6  18. g3f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true][%cal dg3f5][%c_arrow g3f5;keyPressed;none;from;g3;opacity;0.8;to;f5;persistent;false][%c_highlight f5;keyPressed;none;opacity;0.8;square;f5;persistent;false] A nice attacking attempt, very much in Wei's style, but there's a defense. White should have played in a more conventional way. 18... g6f5  19. e4f5  19... g8h8 [%c_effect h8;square;h8;type;Mistake;persistent;true] A mistake that leaves Black with a difficult position. 20. f5e6  20... f7e6  21. f3e2 Black is suffering from a bad pawn structure. The rook on d7 may also run into trouble after White doubles rooks on the d-file: the d6-pawn will require protection, and White can take advantage of a tactical theme by placing the knight on c5, using the pin. 21... e8g7  22. a1d1  22... c8e8  23. c3e4  23... d6d5  24. e4c5  24... e7c5  25. b6c5  25... f8f5 Abdusattorov manages to keep everything protected for now, but the weaknesses are long-term. 26. d3e3  26... e5e4  27. f2f3  27... d5c4  28. d1d7  28... e8d7  29. b3b4 A logical move, but the machine indicates an even better idea. 29... e4f3  30. e3f3  30... e6e5 [%c_effect e5;square;e5;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 31. f3e3 [%c_effect e3;square;e3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 31... d7d5  32. g2g4 [%c_effect g4;square;g4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This is the problem for Black: the e5-pawn is doomed. 32... f5g5  33. c5e7  33... g5g6  34. e3e5  34... d5d4  35. g1h1  35... h7h6  36. e7c5  36... d4d7  37. e2c4 The technical phase begins. White is a pawn up and also has the better pieces. 37... g6f6  38. c5d4  38... h8h7  39. c4d3  39... h7g8  40. d3c4  40... g8h7  41. c4d3  41... h7g8  42. e5e4  42... f6d6  43. d3c4  43... g7e6  44. c2c3  44... d6d5  45. h1g2  45... h6h5  46. c4e2  46... e6d4  47. c3d4  47... d5d4  48. e4d4  48... d7d4  49. g4h5  49... d4b4 [%c_effect b4;square;b4;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This hastens defeat, but the position is losing anyway. 50. e2g4 [%c_effect g4;square;g4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true]
