Re1 Bg4 {8...Bf6 is Black's only alternative.} 9. h3 Bh5 {This is one of the
two main theoretical branches from this variation, the other being a fairly
forcing endgame line after 9...Bxf3}  (9... Bxf3 10. Qxf3 Nd4 11. Qxd5 Qxd5 12.
Bxd5 Nxc2 13. Rxe5 Bd6 14. Re2 Nxa1 15. Bxb7 Rae8 16. Be3 {This endgame is
better for White, as the knight should be difficult to extricate for Black. It
is holdable though, and there's definitely room for both sides to outplay.} ) 
10. g4 {White can't get an advantage without accepting Black's pawn sacrifice.}
10... Bg6 11. Nxe5 Nxe5 12. Rxe5 c6 {This is the main thoretical move, but an
interesting novelty: 12...Nb4, is suggested by Stockfish. The move is
definitely more active, and prevents a favourable trade of Bishop for Knight.} 
(12... Nb4 13. Nc3 Kh8 14. Bd2 a5 15. a3 Bd6 16. Re1 Qh4 $5 {The safer 16...Nc6
is probably better, but this line looks fascinating.} 17. Nb5 $1 Nc6 18. Nxd6
cxd6 19. Kg2 f5 {Black loses the dark-squared bishop but has created a
breakthrough on the kingside.} ) 13. Qf3 Bd6 {Once again, this is the main
move, as it seems logical that the bishop should point at White's king.
However, Black has actually scored better with 13...Bf6, which was played in
V.Kramnik-G.Kasparov, Novgorod 1995.} 14. Re1 $6 {This lets White's advantage
slip, the difference is very subtle but White maintains an edge with 14.Re2,
which is the main move, though a few games have been played in the 14.Re1 line
(and amusingly White has a perfect score).}  (14. Re2 f5 15. Bxd5+ cxd5 16.
Qxd5+ Kh8 (16... Rf7 $2 {This is slightly better for Black in the line with
14.Re1, but the same move doesn't work here.} 17. Nc3 fxg4 18. hxg4 {White is
simply better here, and should be able to defend against the attack.} ) 17. Nc3
Rc8 18. Qxb7 {Stockfish claims an edge for White in this extremely double edged
position, however, the price of a mistake seems far higher for White, and the
results in this line have not been promising.} ) 14... f5 $1 {One of Black's
equalising moves, and the first novelty of the game. Black can also start with
14...Kh8} 15. g5 {White has to keep the kingside closed, and if left unchecked
the g-pawn can become quite dangerous for the Black king down the line.}  (15.
Bxd5+ cxd5 16. Qxd5+ Rf7 17. Nc3 fxg4 18. hxg4 $2 {Possible in the 14.Re2 line,
but impossible here because 18...Qh4! hits the f2-pawn, so White cannot take
the bishop on d6.} 18... Qh4 $1 19. Qg2 Raf8 20. Be3 Rf3 {The weakness of the
f2-pawn will give Black enough time to fully launch the kingside attack.} ) 
15... Kh8 $6 {This extremely natural move fails to maintain the balance. Black
had an extremely difficult move to find in the face of what seems like a
serious threat of c4-c5, winning a piece.}  (15... f4 16. c4 $2 {The move which
looks logical loses to an incredible tactic.} 16... Ne3 $1 17. fxe3 fxe3 18.
Qxe3 Bf4 19. Qe6+ Bf7 20. Qg4 Bxc1 21. Rxc1 Bh5 $1 22. Qxh5 $6 {White should
probably play Qe6+} 22... Qxd3 23. c5+ Kh8 {Black is down two pieces but has
incredible attacking compensation and should be winning.} ) 16. Bxd5 cxd5 17.
Bf4 $1 {Correctly identifying that this trade would leave White with a
favourable imbalance of minor pieces.} 17... Bc5 $2 {Losing time and allowing
White's bishop to sit on a powerful diagonal. Black's best was probably to take
the opportunity to activate the a8-rook.}  (17... Bxf4 18. Qxf4 Qb6 19. b3 Qc5
20. c4 dxc4 21. dxc4 {Black's bishop is restricted and White has a threatening
queenside majority.} )  (17... Rc8 18. c3 Bxf4 19. Qxf4 Qb6 20. Nd2 Qxb2 21.
Nf3 Qxc3 22. d4 {White sacrifices the queenside pawns for a positional
advantage, a dominating outpost on e5, and is now the one with an attack
brewing on the kingside.} ) 18. Nd2 Be8 {Trying to reposition the bishop.} 19.
Nb3 {Simply trying to get d4, after which White is positionally much better.} 
19... Be7 $6 {This retreat gives White a powerful tempo.} 20. Qe3 Bd6 {20...Rf7
is objectively better, but Black's pieces are incredibly uncoordinated and
White should still be much better.} 21. Bxd6 $1 {Correctly recognising that the
eventual endgame is forced and winning for White.} 21... Qxd6 22. Qe7 Qxe7 23.
Rxe7 Bc6 24. Na5 Rae8 25. Nxc6 bxc6 26. Rae1 {Black has no chances in this rook
endgame, given there is already a material deficit and Black will either lose
more or get mated, so Aidan decided to resign in a roundabout way.} 26... Rf6

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 c5 3. c3 e6 4. Bg5 {Kayden decides to go for a Torre Attack,
which was a small surprise as I'd expected 1.e4 and probably a delayed Alapin.}
4... Be7 5. Nbd2 b6 6. e3 Bb7 7. Bd3 Nc6 (7... O-O {The development scheme I'm
employing has had a decent amount of testing at top level, and in particular I
knew it from the game P.Velikov-M. Tal, Berlin 1986. I've deviated slightly in
the move order from that game, but the equalising plan and the idea for an
eventual kingside counter-strike remains the same. Tal's game continued:} 8.
O-O Nc6 9. Qe2 {9.Qc2 and 9.Re1 are also common moves from this position.} 9...
cxd4 10. exd4 Nd5 {This is the main idea of the variation, to secure the trade
of dark-squared bishops on good terms for Black, with a knight on e7 to prepare
an eventual f5-push. Black will have the option to play on any side of the
board, with open c- and f-files, as well as a good light-squared bishop on the
long diagonal and a d7-e6-f5 pawn chain to control the central light squares,
like a kind of mirrored benoni.} 11. Bxe7 Ncxe7 12. Be4 Nf4 13. Qd1 Qc7 14. Re1

slightly unusual move, which loses White time in the long run, and doesn't seem
to justify the comming aggression on the kingside.} 8... cxd4 9. cxd4 {9.exd4
seems more natural, as Black is better poised to make use of the c-file, and
now the bishop is an obstruction to its own pieces and may become a useful
target for Black's.} 9... O-O 10. h4 $6 {It's now clear Kayden intends to
finish me off quickly, but there's nothing to justify this attack yet. Black's
pieces are better developed than White's, and though White may have attacking
chances in the long run, there is still some building to be done.} 10... Nd5
{Tal's plan, which seems particularly apt now given it liquidates one of
White's attackers.} 11. Bxe7 Ncxe7 12. g4 $6 {Kayden spent a while on this
move, potentially because he was trying to figure out if anything would come
from a greek gift sacrifice.  12.g4 itself continues with the positionally
unsound attack, though it does seem to discourage f5, which might have been
appealing given that move will shut down most of White's threats along the
b1-h7 diagonal.}  (12. Bxh7+ $2 Kxh7 13. Ng5+ Kg8 14. e4 Nf4 $1 {Preventing the
entry of White's queen.} 15. g3 Nd3+ 16. Kf1 f6 {Unfortunately for White, there

incredibly vulnerable and Black should have a winning attack.} ) 13. Bb1 f5 14.

the diagonal. This was a small positional error which allows White to regain
equality.} 16. e4 Nd6 17. Rg1 Rf4 $6 {Now I begin to embark upon tactical
operations which I cannot positionally justify. White's king and centre are
weak but my pieces (and a6-knight, in particular) are not well placed to
support the assault.} 18. Qe2 Rc8 19. Bd3 Qc7 $6 {This seemed like a natural
tempo to gain, with threats along White's back rank. However, Black's best was
actually the exchange sacrifice 19...Qf8! where White is limited to only a
small advantage, with plenty of room for play.}  (19... Qf8 $1 20. Bxa6 Bxa6

centre to compensate for the material.} ) 20. Qe3 $1 Rcf8 21. e5 $1 {Kayden
correctly identifies that the tactics now favour White.} 21... Rxf3 $2 {A
trick, relying on the fact that Rxe3 comes with check. Black can therefore go
up material here, but if White plays accurately Black's position will be
busted.} 22. Nxf3 $6 {A small mistake, which allows Black to undo some of the
damage done with their last move, provided they don't repeat the previous
mistake.} 22... Rxf3 $2 23. Qh6 $1 {An excellent move, moving the queen out of
danger with deadly threats against the Black king.} 23... Ne8 24. Qh5 $2

is complicated. 24.Qxh7+ was simply winning.}  (24. Qxh7+ Kf8 25. Bg6 Ke7 26.
