theoretical understanding by both players. 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.Qa5Rc2∞Engine 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.Nc4⩲16.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
