Zatonskih understands that simple, developing moves will win the advantage due to the bishop pair while Yan plays actively, delaying White's castling as long as possible to utilize the lead in development.12.Nd2...12.Qxc5Taking this pawn is extremely risky.Nbd713.Qc6Nb614.Qc3Rc815.Bxf6gxf616.Qa5Rc2Engine says dead equal, but any human would be scared to death as White here.12....Nbd713.e3Bxf114.Nxf1Qa5+15.Nd2Qb5!A strong move, preventing castling again. A slow move such as:15...Rab8would have allowed castling and yielded an advantage for Zatonskih.16.O-OQb517.Nc416.Bxf6Nxf617.Nc4Rab818.O-ORfd819.Rfc1h620.Rab1Qb321.Qxb3Rxb322.Kf1Rdb823.Rc2Nd524.Rd1Nb625.Nd2Rb526.b3Ra527.Ra1Kf828.Ke2Nd529.Rcc1Rab530.Kd1Ke731.Rc4Nb632.Rc2Nd733.Rac1Ra534.a4Ra635.Rc3Rab636.Kc2Rb437.Rd1Rc838.f3Nb639.e4c4Now all the pieces get traded and it's an elementary draw.40.Nxc4Nxc441.Rxc4Rbxc4+42.bxc4Rxc4+43.Kb3Rc744.Rd4Rb7+45.Rb4Rxb4+46.Kxb4Kd647.Kb5Kc748.Ka6Kb849.f4h550.g3g651.e5Ka852.Ka5Kb853.Ka6Ka854.Ka5Kb855.Ka6Ka856.Ka5Kb81/2-1/2 The game is a draw.1/2-1/2
