(16) Mulyar,M - Christiansen,L
Can Open, 2001
1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e5 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.g3 Nd4 5.Bg2 Nxf3+ 6.Bxf3 Bb4 7.d3 h6 8.0-0 0-0 9.Bd2 a5 10.Nd5 Probably not forced. Other moves such as Qc2, pa3, or Rc1 are worth consider ing [10.Qc2; 10.a3; 10.Rc1] 10...Nxd5 11.cxd5!? [11.Bxd5 seems more to the point] 11...Bxd2 12.Qxd2 c5!? 13.d6 A very interesting move. white tries to prevent Black's normal development 13...Rb8!? [13...Qb6 14.Qc3 Qxd6 15.Rfc1² recovers the pawn with advantage.; 13...Ra6 14.Qc3±] 14.Qc3 b6 15.Qxe5 Re8 16.Qc3 Ba6 An interesting position. Christiansen, once again in the tournament, finds himself down a pawn, but has counterplay. 17.b3 [17.a3!? a4 18.b4 axb3 19.Qxb3 Qf6 20.Qa4 Bxd3÷; 17.Rfe1!] 17...Re6 18.a3 Rc8! 19.Qb2 Qf6! Christiansen plays each move so as to maximize the pressure on white's game 20.Qxf6 Rxf6 21.b4?! This doesn't turn out well. It is curious that in almost all of Larry's games in this tournament his opponent loses patience towards the end of the first session . Such is experience... [21.Kg2 Rxd6 22.Rfc1 Rd4 gives black a little bit of play, but white is not really worse here.] 21...Bxd3 Now black is on top 22.bxa5 Rxf3! 23.exf3 Bxf1 24.Kxf1 bxa5 25.Rb1 Rc6 26.Rb5 [26.Rb7 Rxd6 27.Rc7 Rd5 (27...Rd3 28.Rxc5 Rxa3 29.Rd5 Rxf3) ] 26...a4 27.Ke2 f5 28.Ra5 Kf7 29.Rxa4 Ke6 30.Ra8 Rxd6 31.f4 c4 32.Re8+ Kd5 33.Kd2 Kd4 34.Rd8 Kc5+ 35.Kc2 Rd3 Larry makes it look easy 0-1
