C41: Philidor Defence 1.e4 d6 2.f3 g4 3.d4 e5 4.c3 f6 This is
questionable because it loses a P and white gets a superior ending. 4...d7 5.h3 h5 6.c4 gf6 7.bd2 e7 8.0-0 0-0 9.e1 c6 equals. Pichot,A (2638)
-Goroshkov,M (2278) chess.com INT 2023 5.dxe5 dxe5 6.xd8+ xd8 7.xe5 e6 8.d3 White is clearly better. d6 9.f3 c6 10.0-0 e5 11.xe5 xe5
It looks like a long, boring ending is coming, but that turns out npot to be
the case. 12.e3 But this logical developing move is a tactical mistake
that should have allowed black to equalize. 12.Bd2 would gave kept a good
advantage. c6 12...g4 and Black has nothing to worry. 13.h3 13.d4 xh2+ 13...h2+ 14.h1 xe3 15.fxe3 g3 13.h3 h6 14.d2 f4 is the
strong threat. b6 Black ignores the threat to her detriment. 14...g5 15.c4 d7 15...xc4 16.xc4 c7 17.f4 gxf4 18.xf4 xe4 19.ad1+ c8 20.xc7 xc7 21.xf7+ c8 22.dd7 ...and wins 16.xe6 fxe6 17.fd1 c7 18.b3 e7 and black has some chance of surviving. 15.f4 c7 16.f5 d7 17.ad1 b5 Black has no really satisfactory defensive plan. All she
can do is wait. 18.b3 e8 19.c5 b6 20.fe1 xc5 21.xc5 c7 22.c2 g8 23.e5 Moving in for the kill! ad8 24.g4 a5 25.b3 f6 26.e6 c8 27.xd8 xd8 28.b6+ e7 29.xa5 f8 30.d1 e7 30...e7 avoids mate,
but black would still be hopelessly lost after 31.b4 g6 32.f2 gxf5 33.gxf5 h5 34.e3 h4 35.c5 Black is pretty much out of moves. b7 36.d7 c8 37.c7 a6 38.xc6 etc. 31.b4+ It's mate after 31...c5 32. Bxc5# and
so black resigned. 1–0
