The problem is that the lines are already well studied, but Keymer certainly had everything very well prepared and the risk is small. 5... d7d5 Considered by theory as the main move to equalize. 6. e4e5 6... f6e4 7. a2a3 A much rarer move than 7.Bd3 and one that had been somewhat forgotten, having not been played at the highest level for some time. Keymer was probably counting on the surprise factor. 7... b4c3 8. b2c3 8... c7c5 9. f1d3 9... c5d4 10. c3d4 10... b8c6 11. g1e2 11... d8a5 12. e1f1 12... f7f6 The most accurate move. 13. d3e4 13... d5e4 14. e5f6 14... f8f6 15. c1e3 15... c8d7 One of many possible moves. 16. f1g1 The best move. White shouldn't be in a hurry to capture on e4. 16... a8f8 The first new move in the game. Of course it's very natural to double rooks on the f-file, but it's probably even better to maneuver the knight immediately. 17. h2h4 A thematic move that pops up in many lines, as the careful reader has already noticed. The idea is to give luft to the king and also prepare the rook lift with Rh3. White again should exercise patience before going after the e4-pawn. Black is ready to play with e6-e5 with good play. 17... c6e7 This is Black's only meaningful plan. 18. c2e4 18... e7f5 19. e3g5 19... f5d6 20. e4d3 20... f6f2 A risky move, quite in Wei's style.

The idea is to give luft to the king and also prepare the rook lift with Rh3. White again should exercise patience before going after the e4-pawn. Black is ready to play with e6-e5 with good play. 17... c6e7 This is Black's only meaningful plan. 18. c2e4 18... e7f5 19. e3g5 19... f5d6 20. e4d3 20... f6f2 A risky move, quite in Wei's style. He's very confident in his calculations. 21. g5e7 21... d7c6 22. h1h2 Not allowing Black to start an attack. 22... a5f5 23. d3f5 23... f8f5 24. d4d5 A very interesting decision, posing problems for Black. 24... e6d5 25. e2g3 25... d6c4 26. e7c5 26... f2f4 27. g3f5 27... f4f5 28. c5a7 Black has some compensation, but it's White who will play for a win without any risk, a situation that is always unpleasant for the defender. 28... b7b6 29. h2h3 One of the very few inaccuracies by Keymer in this game. 29... f5f7 30. a7b8 30... d5d4 A bit premature, as the game continuation demonstrates. 31. a1c1 31... b6b5 32. a3a4 Usually it's in the defender's interest to exchange pawns in the endgame, but this position is an exception, since the most important factor is to open files for the rooks. 32... f7d7 33. a4b5 33... c6b5 34. h3b3 34... d7d5 35. b8f4 The position is difficult to defend because the d-pawn can be attacked and the rooks can activate quickly. 35... c4e5 36. c1c8 36... g8f7 37. c8c7 37... f7f6 38. c7b7 38... b5d7 39. b3g3 39... e5g4 40. f4g5 40... f6f5 41. g3f3 41... f5g6 42. b7b6 42... g6h5 43. f3f7 The endgame becomes very tactical. 43... d5a5 44. b6d6 44... d7f5 The right square for the bishop. 45. g5c1 45... d4d3 46. f7g7 46... h5h4 47. g7f7 Now Black starts to make mistakes. 47... f5e4 48. d6d4 48... e4f5 The final mistake, after which Keymer plays perfectly in order to convert the advantage. 49. d4f4 Suddenly Black's king is caught in a mating net. 49... d3d2 50. c1d2 50... a5a1 51. f4f1 51... a1f1 52. g1f1 The endgame is winning for White, since Black will be unable to set up a fortress. The game finishes quickly. 52... f5d3 53. f1g1 53... d3e4 54. f7a7 54... e4c2 |
