Luck will always cut both ways. Black executes a deadly attack in her beloved
King's Indian Defense, and manages to have a clear initiative even after the
trade of queens. But some missed tactical shots, followed by a strange
decision to not go after White's weakest pawns, allows White to consolidate
around her strong center pawns and push for a victory.1.d4Nf62.Nf3g63.c4Bg74.Nc3O-O5.e4d66.Be2e57.d5a58.h3Na69.Bg5h610.Be3Nc511.Nd2Ne812.g4f513.gxf5gxf514.exf5Bxf515.Bxc5dxc516.Bg4Nd617.Bxf5Rxf518.Qg4Rf419.Qe6+Kh820.O-O-OQf621.b3e422.Qxf6Bxf623.Kc2Bxc324.Kxc3Rxf225.Rde1a4??25...Re826.Re3Kg727.Rhe1Rf428.Kc2Kf6-+26.Rhf1...26.Nxe4!Nxe4+27.Rxe4Rf3+28.Kc2axb3+29.axb3Ra2+30.Kb1Rg2Amazingly, this position is drawn.31.Re8+Kg732.Re7+Kf6!33.Rxc7Rxb3+34.Ka1Ke535.Rxc5White has too many pawns for Black to
