1. Nf3 d5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 c5 4. O-O Nc6 5. d3 e5 6. Nbd2 Be7 7. e4 O-O 8. c3
Bg4 9. h3 {GMR: Smirin ist once again trying for a reversed King's Indian. He
hopes that Tiger will close the center with d5-d4. Of course first the bishop
on g4 has a decision to make.} 9... Bc8 {
Time: 58:56. Menno: There are only five games in the online database.} 10. Re1
{GMR: Smirin is still hoping for d5-d4, which would be the correct move here.}
10... d4 11. Nc4 Qc7 {GMR: a2-a4 wwould be normal here, but it is probably not
what Smirin was hoping for} 12. a4 {
Black plan: Rab8, b6, then a6 and b6-b5 with good play on the queenside} 12...
Be6 13. Bd2 Nd7 {Time: 52:53. GMR: I don't like the bishop on e6.} 14. Qc2 {
Christophe Theron: Last time the antihuman setting was ON, and it was a
mistake. This time Shay has set it correctly (I hope). Anti-human is not what
people believe it is. It has been designed to avoid human players that try to
get a draw by closing the position and then moving a piece back and forth
(happens a lot on chess servers).} 14... f6 15. Rec1 {CT: It has been designed
to avoid human players that try to get a draw by closing the position and
then moving a piece back and forth (happens a lot on chess servers)} 15... Nb6
{GMR: Not good. Now for example 16.Nxb6 Qxb6 17.c3-c4 is possible. After that
White can turn his attention to the kingside.} 16. Nxb6 axb6 17. cxd4 cxd4 18.
b4 {GMR: The isolated double pawn on the b-file is not so bad at this moment.}
18... Qd7 {Mikhalevski: Did Ilya miss this double attack? Probably not.} 19. b5
Na5 20. Bxa5 {GMR: I'm not too happy about the passive bishop on g2. How is it
going to come into play?} 20... Rfc8 {GMR: Pretty "zwischenzug". CT: My laptop
crashed, it is 31 degrees here in Guadaloupe and it overheats. I'm back online
now. I'm happy with how the game is going so far. I think that the antihuman
setting would have hurt the program's play in this game. Tiger would have
tried too hard to open the game, and too early.} *
