Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nge2 a6 { A rather rare move, compared to castling, developing the knight, or even pushing ... c7-c6. But it has been played by Kasparov, as well as several members of the U.S. senior team (Shabalov and Ehlvest) so it can't be considered that obscure. } 6. Ng3 Nbd7 7. Be2 h5 8. h4 c5 9. d5 Ne5 10.

Qxg5 Qf7 { with a slight advantage for Black, although Korobov was able to hold on for a draw in Korobov – Radjabov, Plovdiv, 2010. }) 10... Bd7 11.

Bf6 { Black could have taken the bishop, as well, but still has promising chances to push on the kingside now, while White has given up a grip of some more central squares. } 14. f4 Ng4 15. Bxg4 Bd4+! { an important point, not giving White time to blow the center open with e4-e5. } 16. Kh2 hxg4 17. Nge2 g3+ (17... Nf6 18. Bg5 g3+ { would get to the same place. }) 18. Kxg3 (18. Nxg3??

Qxg5 { gives White serious play, and after } 24... O-O-O 25. fxg6 $44 { the three passed pawns on the kingside provide compensation. Importantly, White's king will scuttle to the queenside, which is why it was better on f3 than retreating to the h-file. }) 19... cxd4 20. Qxd4 Rxh6 21. e5 { Here, White does not have enough compensation for the piece, despite the big center. } 21... Nh5+ 22. Kf3 Kf8! { A nice defensive resource. } 23. g4 Ng7 24.
