1.e4
{This game features a great idea by Wen Yang in move 6 and an amazing
attack that reminds of Wei Yi vs Bruzon Inmortal game.}
1...c5 2.Nc3 a6 3.g3 b5 4.Bg2 Bb7 5.d3 e6 6.Nh3 d6
{This is a nice idea, White wants to take advantage of the fact that
the bishop on e7 is hanging.}
7.O-O Nf6 8.f4 Nc6
( 8...Be7? {This move puts Black under severe pressure, it maybe even
lose.} 9.e5 Bxg2 10.Kxg2 Nd5
( 10...dxe5 11.fxe5 Nd5 12.Qg4 g6
( 12...O-O 13.Bh6 g6 14.Qf3 )
13.Qf3 )
11.Qg4 O-O 12.f5 {White may even play f6 depending the circunstances.}
12...exf5 13.Rxf5 {White has a great attack.} )
9.Be3 Be7?
{This move amazingly loses.}
( 9...Qc7 {Defending the b7 bishop was crucial to keep a more or less
equal game.} )
10.e5!
{Taking advantage of the fact that the Nc6 is pinned to kick the
knight from f6. This weakens Black's kingside and lets White play some
Qg4 moves. This is the beginning of a killer attack computers dont
even see.}
10...dxe5
( 10...Nd7 11.exd6 Bxd6 12.f5! {White should have an edge here.} 12...
exf5 13.Rxf5 {He has a great position, with an possible attack over
the king.} 13...O-O
( 13...Ne7? {This move fails.} 14.Rxf7 Bxg2 15.Rxg7 Bxh3?? 16.Qh5+
Ng6 17.Rxg6 hxg6 18.Qxh8+ Bf8 19.Qxh3 {White is up a tons of
pawns.} )
14.Ng5 g6 15.Qf1 )
11.fxe5 Nd7
( 11...Nd5 12.Nxd5 exd5 13.e6! f6
( 13...fxe6?! {This is too dangerous.} 14.Nf4 Qd7
( 14...O-O 15.Qg4 )
15.Bh3 Nd8 16.Qh5+ )
14.Bh6 {Is a cute move which gives White the advantage but he has
better moves.}
( 14.Nf4 Ne5 15.b4! {White is getting in d4 next move no matter
what.} 15...cxb4 16.d4 Qb6 17.Qe2 Ng6 18.Nxd5 {White is better.}
18...Bxd5 19.Bxd5 Rc8 20.Rae1
( 20.h4!? {Is interesting but computers dont like it that
much.} 20...Rc3 21.Rae1 Qd6 22.Qg2 )
20...O-O )
)
12.Qg4 g6
( 12...Ndxe5?? 13.Qxg7 Rf8 14.Ng5 {This should be enough to win.}

14...Bxg5 15.Bxg5 Qd4+ 16.Kh1 Ng4 17.Qxh7 {White is better. Nf2 is

answered with Rxf2! followed by Ne4.} )
( 12...Ncxe5?? {This move is even worse as Black needs to trade the
queens in order to survive just to get into an endgame where he is
down a piece.} 13.Qxg7 Bf6 14.Rxf6 Qxf6 15.Qxf6 Nxf6 16.Bxb7 )
13.Rxf7!!
{Probably Artemiev overlooked this extreme rook sac. Now there are a
lot of variations, but all of them lose.}
13...Kxf7
( 13...Ndxe5 {This move seems like it wins yet it also loses!} 14.Qxe6
Nxf7 15.Bxc6+ Bxc6 16.Qxc6+ Kf8 17.Nf4 {Black needs to answer against
the threat on a fork on the queen and king via Ne6+.} 17...Kg8 18.Ne6
Qc8 {If the bishop on e7 is undefended White will play Nd5,
threatening mate in 1.} 19.Nd5 )
( 13...Ncxe5 14.Qxe6 Bxg2 15.Kxg2 Nxf7 16.Nd5 Ra7 17.Ng5 {Black needs
to give up material back or get mated.} 17...O-O {Engine's top move.}
( 17...Nxg5 18.Bxg5 {Black is getting mated.} 18...Nb8
( 18...Rf8 {Engines top move which of course losed baddly.}
19.Bxe7 Ne5 20.Bxc5+ Re7 21.Bxe7 )
19.Nf6+ Kf8 20.Bh6# )
18.Nxe7+ Kg7 19.Nxf7 Rxf7 20.Bh6+ Kxh6 21.Qxf7 )
14.Rf1+ Ke8
( 14...Kg7 15.Nf4 Nf8 {Engine's top move. Black needs to defned the
e6-pawn.}
( 15...Ndxe5 {Loses.} 16.Nh5+ Kg8 17.Qxe6+ Nf7 18.Qxf7# )
16.Nh5+ Kg8 17.Qf4 Qe8 18.Nf6+ Bxf6 19.exf6 Qf7 20.Ne4 {White is
threatening both Nd6 and Ng5.} 20...Nd4 21.Bxd4 Bxe4 22.Bxe4 Rc8 23.
Be3 {Engine's top line. White needs to be careful, Black shouldnt be
able to unbind himself.} 23...h6 24.Qd6 )
( 14...Kg8?? {Gets mated instantly.} 15.Qxe6+ Kg7 16.Qf7# )
15.Qxe6 Ndxe5 16.Ne4 Qc7 17.Nf4
( 17.Nhg5 {This is according to the computer the best move.} )
17...Bc8??
{Black was already losing but this loses harder.}
( 17...Kd8 {Was the engine's top move to last longer.} 18.Nxc5 Bxc5
19.Qf6+ Kc8 20.Qxh8+ Nd8 21.d4 Nf7 22.Qxh7 Qe7 23.Bxb7+ Kxb7 24.Bf2
Bd6 25.Qxg6 {White should be better if not winning due to the h-pawn.}
)
18.Nf6+ Kd8 19.Qd5+ Qd6
( 19...Bd6 20.Bxc5 Nf7 21.d4! {Defeding the bishop before playing e4
so White cant answer Ne7 with Qxa8 without losing the bishop on c5.}
21...Rb8 22.Ne4 {White wins.} 22...Bf5 23.Nxd6 Nxd6 24.Bxd6 Qd7 )
20.Bxc5
{So we can see that even after heavy analysis this line is simply
busted. Black should defend his b7 bishop on move 9.}
