  plang: 13..Qa8 forces the White knight to h4 but Black was unable to derive any benefit from it in this game. 15..Nbd7 was new; 15..c4 was played in Baburin -Riemersma Cappelle la Grande 1996. Piket showed great patience in limiting Black's counterplay eventually leading to the decisive breaks 36 e5 and 38 d6!. 40..Rxc4 41 Qxf6..Qd4+ 42 Rbf2 would have been hopeless for Black.
