1. d4 Sf6 2. c4 e6 3. Sc3 d5 4. Lg5 Sbd7 5. Sf3 Le7 6. e3 O-O 7. Ld3 c5 8. O-O h6 9. Lf4 dxc4 10. Lxc4 b6 11. Tc1 Sh5 12. Le5 a6 13. d5!? Audacious move for a device that only calculates 7 Ply on average 13... Sxe5 13... b5 14. d6! 14. Sxe5 Sf6 15. Sc6 Goes for the bishop pair, there where a few moves ago, he gave the pair 15. dxe6 Lxe6 16. Lxe6 fxe6 17. Db3 Was better 15... Dd7 16. Sxe7+ Dxe7 17. d6! Dd7 18. e4 Lb7 19. e5 Dc6 20. f3 Sd7 21. De2 b5 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... Sxe5 Interesting 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. Lxb5 Db6! 24. Lxd7 La6 23. Dxe5 23. Sc7 Sxc4 24. Txc4 (24. Sxa8?? Sxd6 Now black has 2 pieces for a rook and 6 pawns against 5.) 24... Tad8 23... axb5 24. Le2 c4 25. b3 Dd5? This move compared to Rxa2 turns the balance from a better up to winning position to equal. 25... Txa2 26. bxc4 bxc4 27. Txc4 Db6+ 28. Kh1 Td8 26. Dxd5 exd5 Reinforces the ackward pawn structure. 27. a4 bxa4 28. bxc4 a3 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. Tc7 Lxd5 31. d7 Kf8 32. Ta1 Le6 33. Lb5 a2 34. Lc6 Tab8 35. Kf2 Tb1 36. Tc8 Ke7 37. Txd8 Kxd8 38. Txa2 Lxa2 39. Ke3 0-1 [Stefan Timmermans]
