1. d4Sf6 2. c4e6 3. Sc3d5 4. Lg5Sbd7 5. Sf3Le7 6. e3O-O 7. Ld3c5 8. O-Oh6 9. Lf4dxc4 10. Lxc4b6 11. Tc1Sh5 12. Le5a6 13. d5!?Audacious move for a device that only calculates 7 Ply on average
13... Sxe513... b5 14. d6!
14. Sxe5Sf6 15. Sc6Goes for the bishop pair, there where a few moves ago, he gave the pair15. dxe6Lxe6 16. Lxe6fxe6 17. Db3 Was better
15... Dd7 16. Sxe7+Dxe7 17. d6!Dd7 18. e4Lb7 19. e5Dc6 20. f3Sd7 21. De2b5 22. Sxb5!Another aud acious move from the Europa, sometimes I'm really surprised he only has "1700" ELO. To me he shows flashes of 1900+ in many games before. TheSaitek Turbo is only holding his position....up till now
22... Sxe5Interesting Idea, he must have thought ok the Knight on d7 in the previous variation was sitting along... to why not sacrifice it back ? Very unhuman thnking (except for Human Masters of course)22... axb5 23. Lxb5Db6! 24. Lxd7La6
23. Dxe523. Sc7Sxc4 24. Txc4(24. Sxa8??Sxd6 Now black has 2 pieces for a rook and 6 pawns against 5.)
24... Tad8
23... axb5 24. Le2c4 25. b3Dd5?This move compared to Rxa2 turns the balance from a better up to winning position to equal.25... Txa2 26. bxc4bxc4 27. Txc4Db6+ 28. Kh1Td8
26. Dxd5exd5Reinforces the ackward pawn structure.
27. a4bxa4 28. bxc4a3 29. cxd5?The Europa played to well, and now he lets it all slip away so easily...29. c5 A move I myself would have played but was not played by the Europa ... I think now that there are less pieces, the RISC processor of the Saitek is on the upperhand.... 29... a2 30. Lb5
29... Tfd8 30. Tc7Lxd5 31. d7Kf8 32. Ta1Le6 33. Lb5a2 34. Lc6Tab8 35. Kf2Tb1 36. Tc8Ke7 37. Txd8Kxd8 38. Txa2Lxa2 39. Ke30-1[Stefan Timmermans]
