🔸Mainz (rapid), 2002

At first sight, White seems to be clearly better. All his pieces are active, the opponent has a weakness on a6, and the queenside pawn majority is an asset in any endgame. On top of this, the black forces are obstructed by the badly placed knight on e8.
21...g6!
Simple, yet very strong. Georgiev plans ...Ng7-f5 in order to improve his knight.
22.Bf1
A good square for the bishop, where it protects g2 and keeps watching the a6-pawn.
22...Ng7 23.Qe3?!
The immediate 23.Qh3 seemed more natural, although after 23...Nf5 Black hardly has any problems anymore.
23...Nf5 24.Qh3 Rfd8
In just four moves, the situation on the board has changed noticeably. Thanks to his strong central control Black already holds the upper hand.
