) 12. b3 Nc5 13. f3 a5 {For long time 13... a5 was considered as not precise
move because it allows white to make maneuver Bc1-e3-f2 where bishop stands
very good. So, usually black played 13...Nfd7. Later it was found an
extraordinary queen sacrifice. Strength of that sacrifice I had opportunity to
feel in my game against Ivanisevic.} 14. Rb1 (14. Be3 d5 15. cxd5 cxd5 16. Bg5

game ended draw in 43.move.}) 16. h3 Nf8 {Difference between this game and
game against Damljanovic is that pawns are on h3 and h5, what is better for
white. Usually is played 16...Ne5.} 17. Bb2 h4 $6 {In few next moves we can
see that black planed to come on g5 with knight. It was better to do it
without moving h-pawn. Black could try to make pressure on h3 in order to
force white to make weaknesses. In this way, knight on g5 instead of attacking
piece will become an object of attack.} 18. g4 Nh7 19. Qd2 Ng5 20. Re1 Bd7 21.

Serious alternative is Bc3 with Nc2.} 22... a4 (22... Bh6 23. Qf2) 23. b4 Nce6
{23...a3 wouldn't be so good as in the game Drasko-Damljanovic, but maybe it
was worth to try .} 24. Nce2 Qb6 {First I thought that I can play 25.c5} 25.
