This Petroff line is very drawish Opening Explorer and this becomes the second database game with 14. g3.

Jun-30-11  Gshock: So..will tried another games.

Jul-02-11  Magic Castle: The pins are so intricately amazing that it looks like more of a fluke than a well thought of plan.
Jul-02-11  goodevans: 27 ... Bb6 28 Qh6 Bxf2+ might have been worth a try.

This is the only chance, though even this fails to 29.Kxf2 Qa2+ 30.Kf3 Qb3+ 31.Kg2 Qa2+ 32.Kh1 with a safe haven at last.

30 ... Bg4+ very nearly works, but not quite.
