Move
   

Baburin, A. (2490) - Joyce, J. (2205) [A61]
Bunratty Open (4) 1995 [Alexander Baurin]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e6 4. Nc3 exd5 5. cxd5 d6 6. Nf3 g6 7. Nd2 Bg7 8. Nc4 O-O 9. g3!?
   I believe that this move was tried in this game for the first time. Later Ivanchuk employed it against Topalov. White wants to finish the development and transpose into the system with g3 and Bg2, where Black usually develops the knight to d7, which is impossible here.
b6 10. a4 Na6 11. Bg2 Ne8 12. O-O Nac7 13. Bd2 Rb8 14. Rb1 f5?! 15. b4 cxb4 16. Rxb4 Na6 17. Rb1 Nc5 18. Na5! Bb7 19. Nc6 Bxc6 20. dxc6+/- Rc8 21. Qc2
   White is better, thanks to a strong pawn on c6 and weak light-squares in the enemy camp.
Nf6 22. Rfd1 Qe7 23. Bg5 Kh8 24. e3! Qe6 25. Bxf6 Rxf6 26. a5! bxa5 27. Rd2!? g5?
   This only weakens Black's position.
28. Rbd1 Qb3 29. Qxb3 Nxb3 30. Ra2! f4? 31. Ne4 fxg3 32. Nxf6 gxh2+ 33. Kh1 Bxf6 34. Rxd6
    Time: 1.31 - 1.39.
1-0
