1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 0-0 5.0-0 d6 6.d4 Nc6 7.Nc3 a6 8.b3 Rb8 9.Nd5 Higly recomended by one Polish or more likely American grandmaster Mr. Woit... 9...Nh5 Federov played against Timman in recent Las Vegas WC 9. ...e6 and won, but Timman had just bad day. 10.Bb2 e6 11.Nc3 Popular is also 11.Ne3 11...b5 12.d5 Na5 Very typical Bologans play-agressive but against all principles of positional play, but do not forget if you are GM you may play how you like if you are ... you only improve your level with such a kind of moves. 13.dxe6 Bxe6 14.cxb5 axb5 15.Qc2 Not 15,Qd2 because of B:f3 and black is OK. 15...Nf6 16.Ng5!? Probably better move was 16.e4 and white may win the tempi by Ne2-f4 or d4. 16...Bf5! After 16. ...Bd7 17.Nge4 is good for white. 17.e4 Bd7 18.Rad1 One of the most difficult task in the middlegame is how to develop your rooks. Usually white set up is Rc1 and d1, my plan was more agressive. 18...b4 19.Ne2!? Following the agressive plan.

When I played Rd1 I missed this move ,now there is no way back. 21.h4 h6 22.e5 22.Nh3 is like saying I am sorry. 22...dxe5 23.Nxf7 If you said A you must say B. 23...Kxf7 24.Qxg6+?

More correct was 28.R:d6 c:d6 29.Ne6, but both players were in time trouble. 28...Qe7?
