A brilliant game ! I try to anotate although I do not have the level. |

1... c5 2. c3 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5
|
agressive beginning |

|
|
|
4. d4 Nc6 5. Nf3 Bf5
|
Probably to avoid 6.Bd3, for black doesn't want to play c4 |

|
|
|
6. Be3 Nf6 7. Nbd2
|
Enabling 8. Bc4 but closing the d file for the queen. Would Na3 have been better ? |

|
|
|
7... cxd4 8. Bc4
|
The black queen has little place to go and there is a danger for black on f7. |

Black wants to send the white queen away from the LSB to take on d5 |

Critical point of the game :
White has a strong material advance (partly compensated by the fact that white will take the LSB)
Black's pawn structure is terrible
but :
White will quickly be out of the center
The white king is extremely weak
Black pieces are more active and better connected ( The white queen is alone and in danger)
Black has a rook on the central open file.

White has little other choice (because of black's bishops) |
