1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. h3 While preparing for the game I noticed that Ali doesn't play theoretical lines against the Modern Defence. 4... a6 5. a4 b6 6. Be3 Bb7 7. g4 Nd7 8. Bg2 e5 9. Nge2 Ne7 10. O-O O-O 11. f4 exf4 12. Nxf4 c5 13. Nfd5?! Better first 13. dxc5 dxc5 14. Nfd5 with chances for both sides. 13... Nxd5 14. exd5 Qe7 15. Bf2 f5! A good fighting move for the initiative. 16. dxc5 bxc5 17. h4? A funny move. My guess that 17. Qe1 maybe the best defence seems to be true. 17... Ne5?! Rybka advices 17... f4 18. gxf5 Rxf5 19. Bg3 Rxf1+ 20. Qxf1 Rf8 21. Qe2 Bc8 22. Re1!? Suddenly White is ready to start his own play with Ne4xd6. 22... Bf6! It took a while before I noticed this one. 23. Rf1 Bxh4 24. Bxe5!? Again a very inspired defence. White wants to dominate on the white squares. 24... Rxf1+ 25. Kxf1 dxe5 26. d6 Qf7+ Now Rybka wants 26... Qg5 27. Kg1 Qf4 28. Nd5 Qd4+ 29. Kh2 Bf2? 29... Bg4 is the move. 30. Be4! White keeps playing according to plan. 30... Bh4 When I finally concluded that I have to go back with this bishop, I only had one minute left to reach move 40. 31. c3 Qxa4 32. Nb6 Qe8 33. Qc4+ Kg7 34. Qxc5?! 34. Bc6! Qxc6 35. Qxh4 Qxd6 36. Nxc8 is draw. In the following moves Black manages to coordinate his forces. Because the d-pawn has a black promotion square, Black is out of danger. 34... Bg4 35. c4 Kh6 36. Bg2 Bg5 37. Nd5 Qd8 38. Qc7 Qf8 39. d7 Be6 40. Qxe5 Bxd7 Made it to the time control and the black bishops are dominating. 41. Qc7 Be6 42. Qc6 Qf5 42... Bxd5 with a mating attack was already possible here. Opposite (coloured) bishops - opposite chances, we say in Dutch. 43. Qxa6 Qe5+ 44. Kg1 Qe1+ 45. Bf1 Bxd5 46. cxd5 Qg3+ 47. Kh1 Be3 48. Bg2 Qh4+ 49. Bh3 Qxh3# 0-1
