  Stonehenge: Black was slightly worse but 27...Ng4?? gives the game away.
Feb-06-13  KingV93: I prefer 5...h6 to fight against the Averbakh. Blacks original strategy of playing f5 with a Kingside attack is much less viable in this variation but its possibility is at least preserved with h6, preventing the Bg5-Qd2 battery that threatens to derail Blacks game from the outset. I thought after 17.f4 Nhyznyk was in trouble.
Feb-06-13  goldenbear: This isn't an Averbakh, but I agree that h6 seems attractive. For example, 5.h6 6.Be3 Ng4 7.Bc1 e5 (if 8.h3, I think exd4 works). Therefore, I'm skeptical about 5.Bg5.

Feb-06-13  JPi: Black opening strategy looks strange. I certainly would not have Black position at move 13...Qe8!?? (Why White didn't play a la Tarrash 14.f4 15.Rae1 is a mystery). But at move 26 Black seems back to the game. 26...Ra6 (To protect d6) with a use of the queen side advantage. Rfa8~Ra2 eventually (on White 27.f5) 27...Qe8 and 28...Qa8.

  perfidious: White's position looks more comfortable before the disastrous 27....Ng4, but if Nyzhnyk had played the strange-looking 27....Rf8 to create a bolt-hole for his queen after 28.f5 Qe8, there would be still much work to do.

An old game in this Accelerated Averbakh variation is Korchnoi vs Nunn, 1988.
