1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. c4 Bb4+ 4. Nbd2 b6 5. a3 Bxd2+ 6. Qxd2 Bb7 7. e3 O-O 8.

Be2 d6 9. O-O Nbd7 10. b4 Ne4 11. Qc2 f5



12. Bb2 Rf6


Here White has already set-up the bishop on b2.

13. d5 Rh6


quite important the rook goes to h6 in this variation. if we copy the idea from E32 Grischuk we get this

13..Rg6 14 Nd4 Qg5 15 g3 Ne5 and here the move 15 Nxe6 is good for white (Position below) as White can play Bxe5! because of the up tempo with Bb2 played. 


14. g3 c5


15.bxc5 Ndxc5 16. Rad1 Qe8!


and 17Nh4 Rxh4! exchange sac to attack with Black

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qc2 O-O 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. Qxc3 b6 7. Nf3 Bb7 8.

e3 d6 9. Be2 Nbd7 10. O-O Ne4 11. Qc2 f5



12. b4 Rf6


Note the bishop is on c1

13. d5 Rg6 


Here the variation 14 Nd4 Qg5 15 g3 Ne5! leads to this position


(please note that 15..ed5 16ed5 Bd5 17 Bc4! led to White winning Kramnik-Polgar 2005) This exchange sac was played by Grishuk on 16 Nxe6 Rxe6! 17 de6 Qg6 with attack !

14. Bb2 c5  (another idea would be 14..e5)



15.Rad1 exd5 16. cxd5 Rc8


 17. Qb3 a6 18. Nd2 Nxd2 19. Rxd2 b5 20. Qd3 c4 21. Qd4 Nf6 22. Bf3 Qd7 23. Rc1 Re8 24. g3 Rh6 25. Bg2 Ne4 26. Rdd1 Qf7 27. a4 Re7 !

this moves protects g7 and b7, so the black queen can join the attack on h5.

Black has put a knight on e4 again ( the first one got exchanged on d2 with white's knight).


28.axb5 axb5 29. f3? Qh5!

With a winning attack sacrificing the knight on e4


30. fxe4 Qxh2+ 31. Kf2 fxe4 32. Rc2 Rf7+ 33. Ke1 Qxg3+ 34.

Kd2 Rf2+ 35. Kc1 Rxc2+ 36. Kxc2 Qxg2+ 37. Rd2 Qg4 38. Rf2 Rh1 39. Qd2 Qg1 40.
