Baburin, A. (2490) - Grooten, H. [E38]
Liechtenstein Open (7) 1995 [Alexander Baburin]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qc2 c5 5. dxc5 Bxc5 6. Nf3 Qb6 7. e3 Qc7 8. Bd3 Nc6 9. a3 a6 10. b4 Be7 11. Bb2 b6
   In such positions Black should not castle too early, as then White can start a dangerous attack after g2-g4!.
12. e4 Bb7
   Instead of the text 12... Qb8 would be too passive, but 12... Bd6!? was interesting.
13. Nd5! exd5 14. cxd5 Rc8
    This is better than 14...Qf4 15 dxc6 Bxc6 16 0-0!, with initiative for White.
15. dxc6 Qxc6 16. Qe2!
   After 16.Qxc6 dxc6 Black would be OK, yet I felt that White could fight for advantage.
Nxe4 17. Nd4!
    This is much better than both 17 0-0? Ng5! and 17 Ne5 Qd5 18 Bc4 Rxc4 19 Nxc4 Nxf2.
Qd5 18. f3 Ng5?
    This is bad; Black had to play 18...Nd6! 19 0-0 Kf8, which unclear position.
19. Nf5 Ne6 20. O-O
    Now Black cannot castle, which in this position means that he is lost.
Bc6 21. Rad1! Bb5 22. Nxg7+ Nxg7 23. Bxg7+- Rg8 24. Rfe1 Qg5 25. Bxb5 axb5 26. Rd5! f5 27. Rxf5 Qxg7 28. Re5 Kd8 29. Rxe7 Qg6
   Black kept playing in this position because I was short of time.
30. Re4 h5 31. g3 Rc3 32. Rd4 Qc6 33. Red1 Rg7 34. Qe5 Qxf3 35. Qxg7 Qe3+ 36. Kg2 Rc2+ 37. Kh3 Qe6+ 38. Kh4 Rxh2+ 39. Kg5 Qe3+ 40. Kg6 Qxg3+ 41. Kh7
   Time: 1.58 - 1.55.
1-0
