1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 e6 3. f4 d5 {Andrew and I had played two prior games in this
variation, with a win each.} 4. Bb5+ {Brockway-McConnell, Julian Mazur
Memorial, Wellington 2022, featured the move 4.Nf3, which is another major way
for White to play the position.} 4... Bd7 5. Bxd7+ Qxd7 6. d3 {And here Andrew
deviates from Brockway-McConnell, Club Champs Swiss, Wellington 2022, which
would have been reached by transposition after 6.Nf3 dxe4. Opting to keep the
pawn duo e4-f4 intact without blocking in the light-squared bishop is the major
advantage of this move-order.} 6... Nc6 7. Nf3 a6 {It had been a while since I
looked at the lines for this variation so I was unsure about the timing for
...Nf6 (though it turns out this is the main move). ...a6 is a perfectly viable
option, though so far it has scored poorly for Black. many other moves are
playable including ...Be7, ...0-0-0, ...Nge7 and even the unusual ...f6.}  (
7... Nf6 8. O-O Be7 9. Ne5 {M.Micayabas-A.Stripunsky, Foxwoods Open,
Connecticut 2007 (along with other games)} ) 8. Qe2 {Carrying the simple threat
of exd5.} 8... Nf6 9. Ne5 {Also possible was an aggressive sequence following
9.exd5:}  (9. exd5 Nxd5 10. f5 $5 Nc7 $1 11. O-O Be7 $11) 9... Qd8 $6 {Allowing
the doubling of pawns looked necessary but in fact wasn't}  (9... Qc7 10. exd5

Nxc6 bxc6 11. O-O {White has a small but stable structural advantage.} 11...

bishop. Bd2 instead was fine, and stockfish also suggests the ambitious g4!?} 
12... O-O $6 {Missing an opportunity to get some counterplay.}  (12... c4 $1
13. bxc4 dxc4 14. Be3 {The threat of ...Qd4+ enables this break, and is potent
specifically because of the weakening move b3.} ) 13. Ba3 $6 {Amusingly the
position now resembles a Samisch Nimzo-Indian in some of its characteristics,
with this construction of bishop and knight on the a-file attacking the weak
doubled c-pawns. Unfortunately for White this move allows an equalising break,
which indeed is very thematic in the Samisch Variation of the Nimzo, for
example in the game M.Carlsen-Ding Liren, Lindores Abbey (rapid) 2019.} 13...
c4 $1 {Initiating a series of trades that ensure equality for Black.} 14. Bxe7
cxd3 {The intermezzo upon which this tactic depends.} 15. Bxd8 $6 {Potentially
a slight inaccuracy to trade queens. White would have remained the side with a
kingside attack had queens stayed on the board, whereas now there is nothing to
counterbalance Black's queenside pressure.} 15... dxe2 16. Nxe2 Rfxd8 17. exd5
cxd5 {I spent some time considering ...Rxd5, but ultimately decided the my
rooks would be more active than White's regardless, and so the better structure
and more control of the centre were to be preferred.} 18. Nd4 $6 {Slightly
inaccurate. c4 seems like a very important break for White to achieve, so
preparing it immeadiately with Rac1 felt like the best move. Andrew decides
instead to try and achieve an f5 break.} 18... Rac8 19. Rfe1 Ne4 20. Rac1 (20.
c4 {This move was tempting, but Andrew probably rightly decided against it.
White successfully makes the break but Black's rooks are the one which stand to
benefit from the files that are opening up.} 20... Nf6 21. cxd5 Nxd5 22. Ne2

calculate in the game.}  (21. f5 $5 exf5 22. Nxf5 Kf8 23. a3 d4 24. Ra1 $15) 
21... Nb5 {This move immeadiately limits White's couterplay, but in return
offers further simplification. ...g6 instead was a perfectly viable way of
preventing f5, although I didn't play it because I was worried about my knight
getting stuck on c3 after a4.} 22. Nxb5 axb5 23. g3 Rc3 24. a4 $6 {Unprovoked,
White chooses to allow a damaging of the queenside pawn structure and the trade
of Black's isolated pawn.} 24... bxa4 25. bxa4 Ra8 26. f5 $5 {Now counterplay
is absolutely necessary.} 26... exf5 27. Red1 g6 28. Rxd5 Rxa4 29. Rd3 Rxd3 $6

trade.} ) 30. cxd3 Rd4 31. Rd1 {White could have defended the pawn slightly
more actively with Rc3. The goal is not to promote, but simply to defend, and
having the option to give check along the c-file is useful to this end.} 31...

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d3 d6 6. Bb3 h6 {One of Black's
many options. This potentially prepares a kingside attack, but could also just
be a useful waiting move while Black works out how they'd like to arrange their
pieces.} 7. h3 {White's most flexible response, I wanted to wait before
commiting my king to the kingside where it might come under attack. However,
either 7.Nbd2 or 7.0-0 might be better options.}  (7. Nbd2 a5 {7...0-0 is the
main line, but this move seems more challenging. There is a simple remedy to
7...Bg4 with h3, Nf1, and Ng3 breaking the pin.} 8. h3 Be6 9. O-O {9.Bc2!?
might be slightly too provocative, though the move is tempting.} 9... O-O 10.
a4 $11) 7... a5 {Playing the Italian very much in the modern spirit with a
bolder ...a5 rather than the old ...a6.} 8. a4 $6 {A slight inaccuracy. The
issue appears to be the weakening of White's queenside, which renders somewhat
pointless attempts to delay castling kingside. According to stockfish Black now
has a free hand to begin the attack with 8...g5, and White will face an
uncomfortable decision as to where to put the king.}  (8. Nbd2 {This is the
main move in the position, which transposes to a number of games.} 8... Bd7 {An
interesting idea, planning to support a further push of the a-pawn.} 9. Nf1 Ne7

Abdusattorov had a good position at this point, though the 2023 Women's World
Championship challenger went on to prevail.} ) 8... Ne7 $6 { The wrong plan to
take advantage of White's error, though otherwise not a bad move.} 9. O-O Ng6
10. Be3 {Going for a standard approach to the neutralisation of Black's
potential outpost. A capture on e3, now or on the following moves, would be met
by fxe3, guarding the f4-square. That being said White was ready to play 10.d4,
which might have been even more effective.}  (10. d4 Ba7 11. Re1 O-O 12. Nbd2
Be6 13. Bc2 c6 14. Nf1 b5 15. Ng3 {With play developing down pretty standard
lines.} ) 10... O-O (10... Bxe3 {Despite the fact that this plays into White's
plan, it might be Black's best option.} 11. fxe3 c6 12. Nbd2 O-O 13. Qe1 b5 14.
Qg3 {Producing a fairly double edged game where White has kingside pressure but
Black has a stable position and good space on the queenside.} ) 11. Nbd2 {Once
again 11.d4 should have been played. White should take advantage of the unusual
placement of the bishop (which has usually retreated to a7 or b6 for this very
reason) by winning a tempo on it to get the central break in, before defending
the e-pawn.} 11... Qe7 12. Re1 $6 {Once again White hesitates to play d4. I was
not entirely happy with this move, as it clearly loses a tempo given the rook
would like to be on the f-file in case of its opening, but Black's looming
threats against the e-pawn scared me off.}  (12. d4 $1 exd4 13. Bxd4 $1

the threats to the e-pawn because of White's coming Re1.} 14. Re1 Bxd4 15. cxd4

the Italian/Spanish plan. It is needlessly complicated to insist on maximising
the tension, but White is used to trusting in the eventual strength of the
dormant light-squared bishop.}  (13. Bxe6 $1 Qxe6 14. Bxc5 dxc5 15. Qb3 Qxb3

on e3.} 14. d4 $1 {Finally the break comes.} 14... Bb6 15. Nf1 {I spent some
time looking at potential expansions and captures with the d-pawn, but finding
nothing particularly satisfactory in any of those lines, either due to the
opening of the d-file or a potential Black kingside attack after the closure of
the center, I settled on this sound, patient move.} 15... Qe8 $6 {My opponent
told me after the game that the purpose of this move was to prepare the
d5-break. I don't get a much better impression of it now than I did during the
game. It seems slow, and doesn't do much to address the rapid
coming-into-their-own of White's pieces.} 16. Ng3 d5 $6 {A break which seems to
have been made at almost the most inopportune moment, when all of White's
pieces were ready to react. Much depends on the d- and -e-file dynamics, with
each queen paired off against an opposing rook.} 17. exd5 $5 {I saw this as an
uncomplicated way to reach a position I was confident would be better for me.
However, it missed a more complicated but in fact very good line.}  (17. Nxe5

excellent for White, though difficult to see from afar with many confusing side

the better pawn structure.} ) 17... exd4 $6 {Black can keep the damage to a

justifies blacks setup and having the queen on d8 rather than c7 because Layla
