1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 e6 4. d4 d5 5. e5 Qb6 6. a3 Nh6 7. b4 cxd4 8. cxd4 Nf5 9. Be3 g6 10. Bd3 Nxe3 11. fxe3 Bh6 12. Qd2!?N    Usually White played 12.Qe2 here.  Bd7 13. Nc3 Ne7 14. g4! Bg7 15. O-O Rc8?!   This is waste of time. Black had to hit the centre at once with 15...f6. Then 16.Qf2 0-0 17.Qh4 Rac8 leads to equal play, while after 16.exf6 Bxf6 17.Ne5 (or 17.Rf2 0-0 18.Raf1 Rac8 19.Ne2 Bg7 20.Nf4 Qc6 with unclear position.) 17...Bxe5 18.dxe5 Qc7! Black has good position. 16. a4 O-O 17. Nb5 Bxb5 18. axb5!?    This is more ambitious than 18.Bxb5 a6 19.Bd3 f6 20.a5 Qc7=.  f6 19. exf6 Rxf6 20. Kg2 Rcf8   Better was 20...Rf7!.  21. Qc2! Nc8 22. h4!   Now White has intiative on both flanks.
Nd6 23. h5 Rc8 24. Qe2 Qd8?   Now White's advantage becomes clear. Black had to play 24...gxh5. 25. hxg6 hxg6 26. Rxa7 Qe7   Here my opponent was already short of time, which made his defence more difficult.  27. Ne5 Rxf1 28. Qxf1 Bxe5 29. dxe5 Ne4??   This leads to a defeat. Much more stubborn would be 29...Nf7 30. Qf6 Qxf6 31.exf6 Ne5.
30. Bxe4 dxe4 31. Qf6+- Qxf6 32. exf6 Rc7 33. g5 Kf7 34. Kg3 e5 35. b6 Rd7 36. Kg4 Ke6 37. Ra8 Kd6 38. Rg8   This game with full notes of GM Morozevich may appear in the 'New in Chess' magazine.
