Dzagnidze aims to prove that White's last move was a waste of time. 7. d3d4  7... a7a6  8. c1e3  8... b7b5  9. a2a4 However, the dominant position of the white queen allows Kosteniuk a chance to quickly build an initiative. 9... b5b4  10. c3a2  10... g8f6  11. a2b4  11... c8b7 [#] 12. f2f3 [%c_effect f3;square;f3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Kosteniuk uncorks a novelty $1 12... a6a5 The impression is that this only helps White as the knight is chased towards the center. 13. b4d3  13... c7c2 This regains the pawn, but at the expense of a few tempi and an inevitable queen trade. 14. a1c1  14... c2b3  15. c1c3  15... f8b4 More or less forced. 16. d3b4  16... b3b4  17. f1b5 [%c_effect b5;square;b5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Before the queen trade, Kostenuik wants to secure her queenside. 17... b4d4  18. e3d4 As a result, an endgame was practically forced out of the opening, with a huge advantage for the first player. Kosteniuk's pieces are ruling the board, with the extra dark-squared bishop completely dominating the dark squares. 18... e8g8  19. e1d2  19... d7d6  20. c3c7  20... f8b8  21. h1c1  21... e6e5  22. d4c3 [%c_effect c3;square;c3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] No counterplay is allowed. 22... h7h6  23. d2e3  23... d6d5 A desperate try to muddy the waters. 24. c3e5  24... d5e4  25. e5f6  25... g7f6  26. f3e4 Kostenuik is a pawn ahead, and has the more active pieces. The game is practically over. 26... b7c8  27. c1f1  27... c8a6  28. f1f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Once more, a clinical finish. 28... b8b6  29. c7c6  29... b6c6  30. b5c6  30... a8b8
