[Event "Tula"] [Site "masterchessopen.com"] [Round "0"] [White "Dzhangobegov, V."] [Black "Mukhin, A."] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "A00"] [Opening "Van Geet: 1...d5 2.e4"] 1.Nc3 d5 2.e4 e6 3.d4 Bb4 4.Ne2 dxe4 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.Nxc3 f5 7.f3 exf3 8.Qxf3 Qxd4 9.Qg3 c6 { The c-pawn is attacked so Black moves it. This obvious continuation is bound to be attractive because it also stops a future Nb5 by White. } 10.Be3 ( { Actually } 10.Bf4 { is probably stronger here, as given in the notes to Alekhine-Nimzowitsch above; but the move played isn't bad either. } ) 10...Qg4 { Black is two pawns up so it is hardly surprising that he wants to exchange queens. } ( { If instead } 10...Qf6 { , to maintain the guard on the g7, then I think } 11.O-O-O { is strong, with the threat of Bg5 followed by Rd8+. For instance, } 11...Ne7 12.Bg5 Qg6 13.Be2 Nd7 ( { not } 13...h6 { as } ) 14.Qh4 { (threatening the knight on e7, as well as Bh5 to pin the queen) } 14...Qf7 15.Bh5 Ng6 ( 15...g6 { further weakens the dark squares } ) 16.Qf4 { with a strong initiative. } ) 11.Qc7 Qh4+ { It seems that the queen can retreat to fend off the threats, but this is an error based on a miscalculation. } ( { I think the only way Black can stay in the game is by inserting } 11...Nd7 12.Be2 { , and only then play } 12...Qh4+ ( { but not } 12...Qxg2 { as } ) 13.Bf2 Qd8 { , though after } 14.Qg3 Qe7 15.O-O { , planning Rae1 and Bc4, White has ample compensation for the pawns. } ) {#r} 1-0
