Nc3 d5 3. e3 Nf6 4. Nf3 Bd6 5. b3 { This is a common way to face Queen's Gambit Declined-style replies to the English. White avoids playing g3 and running into c6, while also avoiding playing d4 and transposing to a theoretical line that may not be in their repertoire. } 5... b6 6. cxd5 exd5 7. Bb2 a6 8. d4?! { A modern move in the style of Jobava or Rapport, in which White voluntarily blocks in their previously strange bishop as a form of prophylaxis against Black's c5 break. But here, Black has too much activity without ever having to play c5. } 8... O-O 9. Bd3 Nbd7 10. O-O Bb7 11. Rc1 Re8 12. Qc2 Ne4 13. Ne2 Rc8 14. Ng3 g6 15. Rfd1 f5! { While it is difficult to see how White's pieces join the attack, it is clear that Black's central clamp ensures a comfortable game. } 16. Qb1 Qe7 17. Rc2 Ng5 18. Nxg5 Qxg5 19. Re2 Nf6 20. Nf1 Qh5 21. Rde1 Re7 22. Qc1 b5 23. Ba3 b4 24. Bb2 Rce8 25. a3 Kf7 26. axb4 f4 27. f3 fxe3 28. b5 axb5 29. Bxb5 c6 30. Bd3 Qg5 31. Ba3? { Just when Black is running out of improving moves, White attempts to trade off a passive piece in a way that decentralizes his army. } 31... Bxa3 32. Qxa3 Nh5! { 0-1 Black wins. } 0-1
