Nf3 e6 3. d3 {An old favorite of Fischer's, who enjoyed good results with this move. White is aiming for a King's Indian setup with g3-Bg2-0-0.} (3. d4 {is of course the main move.}) 3... Nc6 4. g3 d5 5. Bg2 $2 {An opening inaccuracy, after which Black can reach a highly favorable endgame.} (5. Nbd2) ({or} 5. Qe2) 5... g6 $5 ({While 5...g6 is not a bad move, Black could have immediately taken advantage of White's imprecise move order by playing} 5... dxe4 6. dxe4 Qxd1+ 7. Kxd1 b6 { with the idea of either Ba6, or Bb7 followed by 0-0-0. By no means is it winning for Black, but it's very hard to come up with a constructive plan for White. However, perhaps Black didn't want to go to an endgame he wasn't sure he couldn't win, and decided to maintain the tension in the center.}) 6. O-O Bg7 7. c3 Nge7 8. Qc2 $5 {This is a bit unorthodox. The queen usually heads to e2.} (8. Qe2 {is the standard square for the queen in this line.}) 8... O-O 9. a4 {Restricting Black's queenside play, which begins with b5.} b6 10. Na3 {The knight seems to be a bit misplaced here, but Nbd2 Ba6, pressuring the d3 pawn would be annoying.} a6 11. Be3 h6 {I'm not sure what the point of this move is, but it shouldn't be too bad.} ({Continuing the development with} 11... Bb7 { [%cal Rd8d7,Ra8c8,Rf8d8] seems more natural.}) 12. Rad1 {Preparing to open up the center with d4, which would cause discomfort in Black's position.} d4 { Quite understandbly, Black prevents White from playing d4, by playing d4 himself!. This changes the pawn structure and releases the central tension, but it allows Black to develop more naturally.} (12... Bb7 {is playable for Black, but} 13. d4 {would be awkward to meet.}) 13. cxd4 cxd4 14. Bd2 e5 { Bolstering the center, but more importantly preparing the development of the bishop to e6, where it stands much better than it would be on b7.} 15. Nh4 $6 { Perhaps White wants to play f4, but that won't happen for a while, as we'll see. Black seems to ease into his development now, and I'm starting to prefer Zhigalko's position.} (15. b4 {seems quite reasonable, gaining some space on the Queenside and preparing an eventual Nc4.}) 15... Be6 16. Rc1 Rc8 17. Qd1 Na5 $1 {The knight prepares to hop into b3, where it would cause disarray in White's army.} 18. Bxa5 bxa5 19. Nc4 Nc6 ({By no means is the move played in the game bad, but} 19... Bxc4 {deserves some thought. It seems strange to isolate oneself with the "bad" g7 bishop, but this bishop is only temporarily bad. After} 20. Rxc4 Rxc4 21. dxc4 Nc6 {White is already facing some serious trouble. Black's next few moves are very logical, Qb6/Rb8 and the relocation of the f8 bishop to the f8-a3 diagonal, where it doesn't seem so bad at all!}) 20. Nf3 Rb8 21. Nfd2 h5 $2 {A common idea in which Black tries to relocate his bishop to h6, where it would apply pressure on the c1-h6 diagonal. However I feel that this gives White a target to chew on...} (21... Nb4 22. Qe2 Qd7 { [%csl Ra4][%cal Rd7a4] was another alternative, but perhaps Black was worried about} 23. f4 {after which the positions remains unbalanced. Black has nice queenside pressure, while White is stirring things up in the center and on the kingside.}) 22. f4 $1 {Usually when the pawn has been pushed to h5, the advance with f4-f5 can be quite difficult to deal with.} Bh6 23. f5 Bd7 {White develops a nagging edge now.} (23... Bxc4 {was the other alternative.} 24. Rxc4 Be3+ 25. Kh1 Nb4 26. Qe2 {The position seems roughly even, perhaps slightly favorable for Black, but I think that White's counterplay on the kingside compensates for his minor pieces, which are poorly placed if you compare them to their counterparts!}) 24. Qe2 Kh7 {The king seems worse on h7 then it was on g8, but it's already hard coming up with a constructive move/plan for Black. I'd say that the ball is in White's court now.} 25. Kh1 {White follows up with a king move of his own, but it doesn't really seem required at all!} ({The immediate} 25. Bh3 $16 {looks stronger. White can then follow up with Kg2, followed by a doubling of the rooks on the f-file.}) 25... h4 $2 {This creates new weaknesses.} ({Although not an easy decision, it was probably best to go back with} 25... Kg8 {and wait. Perhaps Black was still thinking about a win.}) 26. Bh3 hxg3 27. hxg3 g5 $2 {A horrifying positional move, which condemns Black's dark-squared bishop to eternal prison.} (27... Rh8 28. Kg2 Kg7 29. Bg4 Bg5 30. Rh1 Qe7 {seems like the best try. White still has to prove he has something here.}) 28. Kg2 {Preparing f6, Bg4 or Rh1! There are so many tempting possiblities for White...} f6 29. Bg4 {[%cal Rg4h5,Rh5g6] The once entombed bishop on g2 has now sprung to life, and is clearing the h-file for White's heavy artillery to infiltrate.} Kg7 30. Rh1 Rh8 31. Rh3 {[%cal Rc1h1]} Ne7 32. b3 {White's not trying to force matters, and is simply enjoying his position!} Be8 $2 {Now White crashes through.} (32... Kg8 {might have been the last chance, with the idea of playing Bg7 to try and trade of a pair of rooks, which will greatly diffuse White's attack. Of the top of the bat, I don't see a clear way to break through for White, but he should probably start with} 33. Bh5 {[%cal Rc4d6]} Qc7 {I fed this position into the computer, which just gives long forcing lines, not budging from the evaluation of 1.20. Perhaps this means that Black might be able to escape in the long run, although it will require some precise defense.}) 33. Bh5 Bc6 {Black basically just wasted a move, White was going to play Bh5 anyways.} 34. Qf3 ({White misses the immediate knockout with} 34. Nxe5 fxe5 35. f6+ $1 Kxf6 36. Qf3+ Ke6 (36... Kg7 37. Qf7#) 37. Nc4 Kd7 38. Qf6 {and Black's entire position crumbles. It is very possible both players were short on time here, and this is not an easy line to calculate.}) 34... Qd7 35. Nxe5 $1 {White doesn't miss his chance now.} Qxf5 (35... fxe5 36. f6+ Kg8 37. fxe7 Qxe7 38. Rxc6 $18) 36. Qxf5 (36. exf5 { was also winning.}) 36... Nxf5 37. Nxc6 g4 38. Bxg4 (38. Rhh1 {is the computer move, after which White retains the piece by force.} Bxd2 39. exf5 Bxc1 40. Nxb8 $18) 38... Bxd2 39. Bxf5 Bxc1 40. Nxb8 Rxb8 {The players have reached 40 moves, and Black has managed to create an oppositie colored bishop situation, but it won't be enough.} 41. Rh7+ Kg8 42. Rd7 Bb2 43. Be6+ Kh8 44. Kf3 Re8 45.
