The game saw the not so well-known theoretical pawn sacrifice 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 c5 5.Nge2 cxd4 6.exd4 0-0 7.a3 Be7 8.d5 exd5 9.cxd5 Re8 10.d6 Bf8 11.g3 Re6 12.Bf4 Nh5 13.Be3 Rxd6. After 14.Qb3 Nc6 15.Bg2 Nf6 16.0-0 Re6White now played an extremely normal move that seems to be new:?Ǭ†17.Rad1.?Ǭ†After 17...d6 18.Nd4 Nxd4 19.Bxd4 Black opted for 19...Ne8 but the White position seems to play by itself. In this line the ball is obviously in Black's court!>> replay the game with annotations
