It is a bit curious, given that I played on the board next to him somewhere in April/ May 2022 and then he was around 2050-2100 rating, yet in the meantime he turned himself in one of the brightest young talents out there. --- In my preparation, I saw that he likes sharp, tactical and aggressive style and I tried to steer the game in a different direction from the very start. } 13... Nd5 { [%emt 1:08:00] Here I started drifting. I can't reasonably explain why I played this move. I guess I was trying to prevent some aggressive ideas with castling long. } (13... O-O { I was considering, but after } 14. O-O-O { I was uncomfortable as I wasn't sure where to put my queen (since Bg3 will happen if I put it on c7, e.g.) } 14... Qc7 15. Bg3 Qb6 { Is given by engine as dead equal and playable - we have a game. }) (13... Qb6 { I was also contemplating, but I wasn't 100% happy I am leaving my bishop on d7 unprotected, e.g. } 14. O-O-O O-O { Although I am not 100% sure if there is a good way for White to exploit it, e. g. } 15. Bxf6 (15. g4 { Or something along those lines looks scary, but game continues } 15... Rfd8 16.

Qc6 { Is actually pointed out as kinga winning for Black by the stockfish. })) 14. Bg3 { [%emt 1:08:00] } 14... Bg5 { [%emt 1:05:00] I felt this is wrong - lack of understanding/experience with the position? However, I wasn't sure about having the knight on d5 and just castling as I envisioned some c4 problems. I guess the only good thing about this move is that it left him a bit surprised. } (14... O-O { I guess I should castle for better or for worse here. }) (14... Qb6 { Is also not that horrible here, I think. }) 1-0
