  Jonathan Sarfati: FWIW, when playing 14. Nxd7 I had in mind the famous 22. Nxd7+ in Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971. I was trying to use the weak Q-side pawns to tie down some major pieces so I could take over the c-file as in Petrosian vs Unzicker, 1960, where Tigran was the victor this time. It seemed to be working in this game, where Black was finding it hard to find a reasonable move, but 19 ...e5 was an unforced error losing a pawn.

This Q-side strategy was also forced by the nature of the position, because I didn't think that my originally intended K-side attack would work. Indeed, T Reilly vs A Caoili, 1999 not too long after this one saw Arianne beat back a K-side attack in a similar line.

  Jonathan Sarfati: To be fair, Arianne was only 12 in this game.
