terrific tournament and was in contention for first place.} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6

12...Bf8 fighting for the e4 square and intending the exchange sac ...Rxe3 in
some lines. However, if White follows the standard plan of Nxc6 saddling Black
with hanging pawns he can force the trade of bishops on the a3-f8 diagonal and
occupy c5 with his knight with advantage. Kasparov has shown that If the
bishop stays on e7 instead, it may retreat to d8 after White's Bc5, retaining
pieces on the board and leaving White with multiple pieces trying to occupy c5.
} 13. h3 Be6 14. Kh2 Ne5 {I thought White's last move was too slow since there
is not yet a second attacker on h3 it allows me to avoid the knight trade and
keep an extra pair of pieces on the board to synergize with the isolated pawn.}

probably18...Bd6 aiming at White's king, or 18...Bb4, in order to have the
option to capture White's knight if it returns to c3 and fight for control of
e4, is better.} 19. Bb2 {With an eye on Black's knight on e5.} Bd7 20. Rxc8

to play.} 23. e3 {
