11. Nb1 |
I fins this slightly odd too. White is planning c3 and d3-d4 after all. But the point is, she could have played d3-d4 earlier, under more favourable circumstances. | |||||||||

11... Qd6 |
Moves the queen forward. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
12. c3 |
White carries on with the plan. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
12... d4 |
But Black prevents the plan from being carried out. This is a fine move by the Italian player! | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
13. cxd4 |
White takes. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
13... Nxd4 |
Black correctly takes back with the knight. Taking back with the pawn was possible and gives a slight edge to Black, in terms of more space controlled. This is better though, it makes it a lot easier to attack the weak White pawn on d3, along the semi-open d file. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
14. Nc3 |
This is a mistake, allowing Black to get two bishops in an open position. Nxd4 Qxd4 15. Bc3 Qh4 16. Nd2 Nd5 17. Be5 Nf4 18. g3 Nh3+ 19. Kf1 Qg5 20. f4 Qg6 21. Nc4 Bf5 22. Rc1 was better. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
14... Nxe2+ |
So Black takes the bishop | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
15. Rxe2 |
White recaptures. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
15... Re8 |
Black mobilises her rook. Now that the Bishop on e7 is protected by the rook, Black is threatening the pawn on d3 with the queen. Qxd3 immediately loses to Rxe7! | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
16. Re3 |
As does White, protecting d3 at the same time. | |||||||||

16... Bd8 |
This is a mistake. I can't see why Black can't just win a pawn here with Ng4. Post match computer analysis (PMCA) gives b5 17. Qc2 Bb7 18. h3 Nd5 19. Nxd5 Bxd5 20. Rae1 Qd7 21. b3 Bd6 22. Ne5 Qf5 23. Bc3 as the best for both sides. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
17. Qe1 |
PMCA gives this as a blunder too. Rxe8+ Nxe8 18. Ne4 Qd5 19. Qc2 Bf5 20. Re1 Bb6 21. Nxc5 Bxc5 22. Re5 Bxf2+ 23. Kxf2 Qd7 24. Re3 Nf6 25. Ne5 is given as better. | |||||||||

17... Bd7 |
Black at last develops the Bc8 and also protects the Re8 which is doubly attacked. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
18. Re2 |
PMCA gives this as a blunder and suggests 18. Rxe8+ Bxe8 19. Qe5 Qxd3 20. Qxc5 Bc6 21. Qe3 Qxe3 22. Bxe3 Bc7 23. Nd4 Bd7 24. Bg5 Ng4 25. h3 Be5. I can't see why Black can't just take on d3 now, however... | |||||||||

18... Bc6 |
This looks good too, putting the bishop on a fine diagonal. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
19. Bg5 |
19. Rxe8+ Bxe8 20. Qe5 Qxd3 21. Qxc5 Bc6 22. Qe3 Qxe3 23. Bxe3 Bc7 24. Nd4 Bd7 25. Bg5 Ng4 26. h3 Be5 is given as better by PMCA | |||||||||

19... Bc7 |
Black connects her rooks and is now threatening to take on f3 followed by Qxh2. Black has a great advantage. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
20. Bxf6 |
White takes. | |||||||||

20... Qxf6 |
But this is a blunder by Black. PMCA gives … Rxe2 21. Qxe2 Bxf3 22. Be5 Qxe5 23. Qxe5 Bxe5 24. gxf3 Re8 25. Kg2 Bd4 26. Rh1 h6 27. a4 Rd8 28. Rc1 Be5 as best, but as Black I would have been tempted to play 20....B(c6) x N(f3) immediately | |||||||||
