[D]2kr1bnr/1b3ppp/p2q4/2p5/Pp1NP3/5N2/1P2QPPP/R1B2RK1 w - c6 0 14 Ni Hua played Rdl and won. Junior 7.0 chose Rd1 after less than 5 minutes thought, in a 2.8 Ghz machine and using only 4 mb RAM (available 512 mb). The whole game went: Ni Hua (China) – Ibragimov (USA) Ibragimov played carelessly and his king is dangerously exposed. Ni Hua wastes no time on petty things like saving a piece. 14.Rd1! cxd4 It was probably better to refrain from this capture, but then Black's position is just bad. 15.Rxd4 Qxd4 The best try, otherwise White's attack is terrible. For example: 15…Qc7 16.Rc4 Bc6 (16…Rd1+ 17.Qxd1 Qxc4 18.Bg5 Kb8 19.Rc1 is hardly any better for Black) 17.Bf4! Bd6 18.e5, followed by Rac1, or 15…Qb6 16.Rc4+ Kb8 (16…Kd7 17.Bf4) 17.Bf4+ Bd6 18.a5! Qb5 19.Rd1, or 15…Qe7 16.Bf4 Rxd4 17.Nxd4 Qxe4 18.Qc4+ Kd7 19.Qc7+ Ke8 20.Qb8+ Kd7 21.Nf3 etc. 16.Nxd4 Rxd4 17.Bf4 The Black king is trapped under cross-fire and can't escape to the corner. 17…Ne7 18.Rc1+ Nc6 19.Qe3! Bc5! The alternatives lose on the spot: 19…Rd7 20.Qb6, or 19…Kd7 20.Kf1! with the threat 21.Rxc6. 20.Qh3+ Kd8 21.Be3 Re8 22.Qxh7! There is no reason to hurry grabbing the exchange. In the meantime White collects some important pawns on the kingside. 22…Ba7 23.Qxg7! Rdxe4 24.Qf6+ A very unpleasant check, against which Black can't defend properly. 24…Kc7 25.Bf4+ Kb6 26.h4 White's strategy has been fully rewarded. 26…Re1+ 27.Rxe1 Rxe1+ 28.Kh2 Re6 29.Qxf7 Re7 30.Qd5 Bb8 31.Bxb8 Nxb8 32.Qd8+, Black resigned.
