- ♘f3 d5 2. d4 ♘f6 3. c4 e6 4. ♘c3 dxc4 5. ♕a4+ c6 6. ♕xc4 b5 7. ♕b3 ♘bd7 8. g3 ♗b7 9. ♗g2 a6 10. ♘e5 ♕c8 11. O-O c5 12. ♘xd7 ♕xd7 13. ♗xb7?!
- dxc5! ♗xg2 14. ♔xg2 ♗xc5 15. ♗g5⩲ 13... ♕xb7 14. dxc5 ♗xc5 15. ♗g5 O-O?! This move is the cause of Nihal's eventual defeat. There is nothing concretely wrong with it, but it allows White to enter a favourable version of Knight vs Bishop with the better pawn structure. 15... ♗e7! was fascinating, leading to a fierce struggle. 15... ♘d7!? was good as well.
- ♗xf6! Chucky has probably not seen the final outcome, but his experience and intuition guide him well. gxf6 17. ♖ad1 ♖fd8 18. ♖xd8+ ♖xd8 19. ♖d1 ♕b6 19... ♖c8! renders the kingside weakening irrelevant for now, and the Bishop remains the stronger minore piece in the middlegame.
- e3 f5 21. ♘e2 ♗e7 22. ♖xd8+ ♕xd8 23. ♕c2 ♗f6 24. b3 it is really instructive to see how the master player Ivanchuk improves his position. First he removes targets from the queenside. ♗e5 25. ♘c1!
- e4!? fxe4 26. ♕xe4 ♕d1+ 27. ♔g2 ♕d6 28. ♘c1 ♗c3 29. ♘d3⩲ is unpleasant for Black, but the reduction of one kingside pawn reduces White's winning chances a bit. 25... ♕d5 26. ♘d3 ♗d6 26... ♔g7 and White is hard pressed to find a move that makes progress. The best that he probably has is 27. h4 h6 28. ♔f1 ♗d6 29. ♔e2 but after e5! I don't see a way forward for White.
- h4 h5 Nihal's defense doesn't inspire confidence. 27... ♔g7 maintains a compact structure, and with it chances to fully equalise.
- ♔f1 ♔g7 29. ♔e2 e5 30. ♕c3 ♔h7 31. ♘e1 Chucky sees a weak square on g5, and tries to latch on to it. White has made considerable progress, and it is hard to see how Black can fully liquidate. f4? Just as I begin to think Black can try to hold this, Nihal starts commiting errors. His technical chess needs work! 32. ♕c2+! Leave it to Ivanchuk to find the best way forward. ♔g7 33. ♕f5 Notice how the White king is perfectly safe on e2? fxe3 34. fxe3 ♗b4 34... f6 seems like the best try initially, but White slowly invades after 35. ♕xh5 ♕e4 36. ♕f3 ♕b1 37. ♕b7+ ♔g6 38. ♕d5!± and Black is hard pressed to find a move that doesn't lose.
- ♘f3 f6? I think that Nihal must have been in severe time trouble by now. He misses his best chance to stay in the game. 35... ♕e6 36. ♕g5+ ♕g6 37. ♕xe5+ ♔g8 38. ♕g5!± and though White does eventually break through, Black has a lot more chances to hold here than in the game.
- g4! Chucky mounts an assault on the Black fortress, and it is soon over. ♕f7 37. gxh5 ♗e7 38. ♘h2 ♔h8 39. ♘g4 ♕d5 40. h6 ♕g2+ 41. ♘f2 The knight prevents any further checks, and White soon crashes through on the other end. ♕d5 42. h5 ♕c6 43. ♕g6 ♗f8 44. h7 ♕e6 45. ♘g4 and Nihal cut short the torture. A terrific game by Vassily Ivanchuk! 1-0
