Preparing e3-e4 in order to advance the kingside majority.
1...Nb6 2.e4 Ne8
After 2...dxe4 3.fxe4 Ng4 4.Rcd1 White is also better.
3.Rfd1 f5 4.e5 Ne7 5.f4 Nc7 6.b3!
Tying the knight on b6 to the defence of the c4-pawn to prevent ...Nc8 and ...b7-b5.
6...Rd7 7.Nf1 Rfd8 8.Ne3 Kh8 9.Qb2 g5?! 10.Rf1 cxb3 11.axb3 Rg8 12.Bd3 Qf8 13.Ne2

Black to move
Preparing ...b7-b5 in order to advance the queenside majority.
2.Be3 b5 3.Rhc1
The simplifying attempt 3.axb5 axb5 4.b3? failed to c3!
3...h6
With White lacking an active plan, Black has no reason to hurry.
4.h4 Rac8 5.axb5 axb5 6.Qe4 Qb3 7.Qc2 Qa2!
Keeping up the pressure on the b2-pawn.
8.Bd2?
This loses at once.
White should have played 8.b3 although after Qa8+! 9.Kg1 c3 Black would have a clear advantage.
8...c3! 9.Bxc3 b4 10.Ra1 Qd5+ 11.e4 Qe6
White resigned.
