For positional games lovers

     I have come through the posted game; a QGD Slav defense. deep positional and strategic game. I thought to share it with you.

what would happen on 16,,,,h5(blacks move) ? with the idea of locking the kingside and either play on the queenside or hoping for total lockdown and a draw. any ideas? what does a chess engine say?

I totally agree , but more important Fritz11 agrees ;-)

with the continuation:

16.g4 h5 17.Qc2 Bf7 18.b3 Rf8-b8 19.Ra1-b1 Nh7-f8 20.Bb2 Nf8-e6 21.Rb1-a1 Re8 (+=0.3)      

Thanks for taking the time to post, a little above my intellectual chess head, but enjoyable none the less. Things got heated up for me at moves 44.Rxh7, 64.b3, and finally 76.Bd7  Oh to be able to think at that level
