1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. Bd3 Bd6 $5 {An interesti
ng move that hasn't been played lately. Nevertheless it gives good chances for
Black.} 7. Qg4 Be5 8. Be3 ({An alternative was} 8. Nde2 Nf6 9. Qh4 d6 10. f4
Bxc3+ 11. Nxc3 Nbd7 {with chances for both sides.}) 8... Nf6 9. Qh4 Nc6 10. Nf3
$1 Bxc3+ 11. bxc3 h6 $3 {the only move to avoid the annoying 12.Bg5 or even 12.
Bh6!! After 11...h6 Black's chances are equal.} 12. Qg3 ({
Another possibility was} 12. Bg5 Nh7 {with equality.}) 12... Qxg3 13. hxg3 d5

the threat of 16...f6 would cause White some problems.}) 14... Nxd5 15. Bd2 e5

White would have the initiative.}) 17. Nxe5 Nxe5 18. Rde1 Nfg4 19. f4 Be6 20.

nevertheless the next maneuver by Rybka in the purest Karpov style causes some
problems.} Rc8 21. Rh4 $1 Rc5 22. Be2 Nxe5 23. Rb4 {Here is the point. White
maintains its material advantage, and Black must play with precision to secure
the draw.} O-O 24. Rxb7 Ra5 25. Bf1 {
After this move, it is Rybka that must play for the draw.} ({
Another possibility was} 25. Rb6 Bxa2 26. Rxa6 Rxa6 27. Bxa6 Ra8 {

game for the theory of 6...Bd6!? After passing this test against Rybka I
became very confident about facing it with White in the second game!} 1/2-1/2
