[Event "Pale, ( I Iiga RS )"] [Site "?"] [Date "2000.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Ostojic, Nikola"] [Black "Markovic, Miroslav"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B00"] [Annotator "Ostojic Nikola"] [PlyCount "79"] [EventDate "2000.??.??"] 1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 b6 {Black is giving up center without reason.} 3. e4 Bb7 4. Bd3 c5 5. c3 Nf6 6. Qe2 cxd4 7. cxd4 Nc6 8. a3 d5 9. e5 Ne4 {Pawn sacrifice what is justified by opening long diagonal where black would have very big compensation.} 10. Nbd2 { The simplest. Exchange 10...Nd2: 11.Bd2: is accelerating development of white.} 10... Ng5 11. b4 {With this taking space on queen's side black pieces will stay permanently passive.} 11... Be7 12. h4 Nxf3+ 13. Nxf3 {Black can not make castle right now because of sacrifice on h7. Black pieces are seriously disorganized.} 13... Qd7 14. Bf4 $1 {Only chance for black to make some activity is to try f7-f6. So this move devalorizate that idea for black.} 14... f5 {Trying to limit activity of white pieces.} 15. Qe3 {This move dose not spoil position but even make it stronger. Now white is waiting for black to make new weakness or to decide where to castle. Position allows it because black is in sort of zugzwang.} 15... h6 {Obviously that black didn't like 15... 0-0-0 16.Bg5 and white exchanges one of the rare active black pieces. But 15... h6 make weak point g6 and make easier for white to blast black position.} 16. h5 Rc8 {Trying to get some counterplay but now black must stay with king in center because it's dangerous to castle on king's side.} 17. Rg1 Nd8 18. g4 fxg4 (18... Qa4 19. gxf5 Bxb4+ 20. Kf1 {white is much better.}) 19. Rxg4 Bf8 20. Qe2 {Controls also and queen's side. 20.Bg6+ Nf7 gets nothing to white.} 20... Rc4 {Kings-Indian motive from point f4. Certainly excepting of sacrifice is not good because it would activate black pieces, and white threatening would disappear.} 21. Be3 Qa4 22. Qd1 Qc6 { Changing queens leads black to hopeless ending.} 23. Nh4 g5 { Despair, but maybe last moment to complicate something.} 24. hxg6 Bg7 25. f4 Bc8 26. Kf2 {White can choose other ways also but it's easier when eliminates any counterplay of opponent.} 26... O-O 27. Kg1 Qd7 28. Rg2 Nc6 29. Qh5 Rc3 30. Qe2 Ne7 31. Qd2 Rc7 32. Rc1 Nf5 33. Rxc7 Qxc7 34. Nxf5 exf5 35. Qc1 Qe7 36. Bf2 {Time trouble.} 36... Be6 37. Qb1 Qd7 38. Bh4 Qa4 39. Rc2 a5 { After 39...Qa3: 40.Rc6 and white wins.} 40. Be1 {And after ten minutes of thinking white admitted flag to fall down. He could continue 40...Qa3: 41.Ra2 and queen is lost. Or 40...Re8 41.Rg2 Qa4 42.Bc2! with idea 42...Qa3: 43.Rg3 and also takes queen.} 1-0
