  HeMateMe: Ouch! Find black's winning move at 35...
Nov-17-12  Gilmoy: <10.d3 11.e4> is a very belated KIA. Black gets space at e5, and promptly uses it as a vault for <17..Qd3 18..Nxd3>.

A puzzle after <24.Be1> passive: not of tactics or strategy, but of <aggression> (initiative? -- sensing when it's correct to push the issue very hard). <24..Nd3> to remove a defender (or win a tempo if White moves it again 25.Bc3), then <26..g5!> with the energetic space-seizing/exploiting <30..Rd4 31..f5>. But surely this final attack plays itself, so White must have been already lost much earlier.

Looking back: at <15..Ne5> Black already has a clockwork space advantage. Hence the late-KIA push is surely the wrong plan: <9..Bc5> 10.d4, and bear the stodgy pawn structure. Then <9.Bg2> looks like a poor use of tempo: 9.d4 prophylaxis, maybe planning 10.Bg5 to meet the Ne4-Ndf6 swirl.

And perhaps AG saw all that, and felt a need for a sharper line with White. Then maybe it was a brave try, crushed by cold play.

Nov-19-12  haydn20: <Gilmoy> It just seems to me 11. e4 can't be right, and sure enough, the f3 weakness and the blocked LSB are topics of discussion for the whole rest of the game. I can't find anything better than 11. d4, which makes me suspect this entire line. Maybe this is a case of "White has her initiative to defend."
Nov-19-12  haydn20: 23. Nb2 was necessary so that on Nh5 24. Be1 Black does not have 24....Nd3
