It is common to try to avoid theory in blitz. This move is rare and usually transposes either to the Pirc or the Kings Indian.
2. e4 Nf6 3. f3!?White is trying to get a big centre, so he avoids playing the more common 3. Nc3 blocking the c-pawn.
3... Nbd7 4. c4 e5 5. d5White decides to lock the centre.
5... Be7!?Black decides to not waste time for the usual g6, Bg7 and instead develops the bishop on e7.
6. Be3 c6Now White must always have in mind a possible opening of the c-file after cxd!?
7. Nc3 a6With the idea to have b5! ready after cxd. But Black loses an important move which could be used better.
Just on time to defend against Bg5
10... g6Black prepares the usual plan, f5.
White foresees the opening of lines on the king-side and hides his king in the corner.
12... f5 13. exf5 gxf5 14. f4! e4 15. Bc2 c5 16. g4!White could not wait with this move as Black was ready to play Nf6 defending all squares.
16... fxg4 17. Nxe4 Nf6?! 18. N2g3 Nxe4 19. Bxe4 Bf6Slowly Black's pieces get to the right positions. If only the pawn on g4 could go back two squares, Black would much better.
20. Qc2Pointing at Black's main weakness.
20... h5 21. Bg6?! 21... h4!Black is back in the game.
22. Nh5 b5!Black clears the way for White's queen to g4 which soon leads to disaster.
24. Qxc4 Bb7 25. Rad1 Qe7 26. Bh6 26... Qe5Black starts to play very creatively, eventually almost confusing White.
29. Nxf6+ Rxf6 30. Rxb7?! 30... Qf3+ 31. Kg1 Nxf5 32. Bh7+ Kh8 33. Bxf5 33... Rxf5 34. Qe2 c4 35. Qxf3 35... gxf3 36. Kf2 Rg8 37. Rg1 Rxg1 38. Kxg1White should be winning, but it is easy anymore.
38... Rxd5 39. Kf2 Rd3 40. Rb6 d5 41. Rxa6 c3Black's pawns are advancing at great speed. Can White stop them?
42. Rc6 d4Black makes the last mistake.
Now that the h-pawn is defended, White does not have to worry anymore.
44... Rd1 45. Kxf3 Ra1 46. Rc4 Rd1 47. Ke4 d3 48. Rxc3 d2 49. Kd3 Ra1 50. Bxd2 Rxa4 51. Rc4 Ra3+ 52. Bc3 Kg6 53. Rxh4 Kf5A great game!
