Nf3 e6 3. c4 Bb4+ 4. Bd2 Bxd2+ 5. Qxd2 d6 6. Nc3 Nc6 {This is a  rather rare bird in tournament games.} (6... O-O {is more flexible and  therefore better. I often encounter the question "do you try to avoid  castling". No, not really, but when you have a potential "attack on opposite  flanks", then it is sometimes good to keep the king in the center for a while,  in order to first read the opponents intentions. This is hardly the case here.}  ) 7. e4 ({The usual way to continue here is} 7. g3 {, keeping the e2-e4 in  reserve for a sunnier day. Common wisdom says: as long as Black does not  actually threaten to play e5, followed by e5-e4, then White should generally  avoid e4. Still, it is not a bad move. Filip obviously believes in the extra  space and he is in good company there. Kortchnoi might well have played  something similar, claiming that space is of more concequence than potentially  weak dark squares (d4).}) 7... Nd7 {This move is a typical maneouvre if Black  has a bishop on the h8-a1 diagonal, since it opens up for e5, followed by Nd4  in some cases. Here it is not necessary and leaves Black somewhat less  flexible than after the natural} (7... e5 8. dxe5 (8. d5 Ne7 {when White has  nothing better than} 9. g3) 8... Nxe5 9. Be2 {when White keeps a slight  advantage.} (9. Nd4 $5)) 8. Be2 e5 9. O-O O-O 10. Rfd1 $1 {The right rook.  Black cannot put pressure on e4, so the rook is not needed on e1. Ra1 can  later be deployed on either b1 or c1.} ({Maybe White is a little better after}  10. d5 Ne7 11. b4 a5 12. a3 {, but Black can play} f5 13. exf5 Nf6 {with  decent counterplay.}) 10... exd4 {Black has run out of preparatory moves and  is forced to release the tension.} 11. Nxd4 Nxd4 12. Qxd4 Nc5 $2 {A good  square, but the wrong timing.} ({Better was} 12... b6 {, preparing a5 and Nc5  with a cramped but possibly surviveable (is that a word??) position.}) 13. b4 (  {Here White missed} 13. e5 $1 {ruins Black pawn structure, leaving White with  a clear advantage.}) 13... Ne6 14. Qd2 ({It is more standard to play} 14. Qe3 {  in such a position. The queen keeps an eye on a7, protects the e4-pawn and -  most important - doesn't obstruct the rook on d1.}) 14... a5 15. a3 axb4 16.  axb4 Rxa1 17. Rxa1 Qf6 {We have come to the point of why I chose to publish  this game. It is not every day you see a twelve year old guy play a solid  positional game and then completely own the endgame. I am quite impressed.} 18.  Ra7 Qd4 19. Qxd4 Nxd4 20. f3 ({Most GM:s would prefer to keep the bishop with,  since Black's knight doesn't have a clear point of support. Unless Black plays  c5, then f3, followed by Kg1-f2-e3 will kick the knight back, leaving Black  with an even more cramped position.} 20. Bf1 $1) 20... f5 21. Kf2 fxe4 22. Nxe4  Nc6 23. Ra4 Ne5 24. Ke3 Be6 25. Kd4 h6 26. b5 $1 {A strong move! Now Ra7 is  again made possible and also Black has to watch out for b5-b6 (undermining d6).  } b6 (26... Nd7 27. Ra7 Rb8 28. f4 {is similar to the game.}) 27. Ra7 Rc8 {  This is very passive. It was absolutely necessary to play} (27... Rf7 {in  order to keep White from playing the f-pawn forward. Still White keeps the  advantage after} 28. Ra8+ (28. c5 bxc5+ 29. Nxc5 dxc5+ 30. Kxe5 Re7 31. Kf4 g5+  32. Kg3 Kf7 {is balanced.}) 28... Rf8 29. Rxf8+ Kxf8 30. Nc3 {when White's  pawns on the kingside are more mobile and his king is more centralized.}) 28.  f4 $1 Ng6 29. g3 Kf8 30. Bf3 Ne7 31. Nc3 Ke8 32. g4 $1 {Filip plays it by the  school book, slowly pressing his opponents forces backwards while not giving  anything away. Now the knight on e7 is doomed to passivity.} Kd7 33. f5 Bf7 34.  h4 $6 {A slight blot in the protocol that gives Black some chances. (Easy for  me to say with a little help from a Silicon Monster.)} (34. Nd1 $5 {(intending  Ne3 followed by h4, when h6-h5 doesn't work anymore since the f5-pawn is  defended)} d5 $1 35. cxd5 Re8 36. Nc3 Nc8 37. Ra1 Nd6 {was one way to keep the  advantage.}) 34... h5 35. Kd3 $1 {A very, very strong move. Filip is thinking  prophylactically that the king is a tactical problem on d4 since the black  knight can take on f5 with a check in case of gxh5.} Rh8 $6 ({Here the best  move was} 35... Rf8 {when} 36. gxh5 Bg8 37. Na4 $1 Nc8 38. Ra8 Bh7 39. Nc3  Bxf5+ 40. Ke3 {, still keeps a considerable advantag for White.}) 36. g5 g6 $2  {Black collapses.} (36... Rf8 {seems to put up a bit of a fight, but after} 37.  g6 Bg8 38. Bxh5 {, Black is running out of good options:} d5 (38... Rxf5 $5 39.  Bg4 Be6 40. Bxf5 Bxf5+ 41. Kd4 Bxg6 42. Nd5 Nxd5 43. cxd5 {should be winning  for White due to the precence of two weaknesses in Black's position; g6 and c7.  Still, I'm not sure how it should be carried out.}) 39. cxd5 Kd6 40. Bg4 Nxd5  41. Kd4 {is winning for White.}) 37. f6 Nc8 38. Bc6+ Kd8 39. Ra8 Be6 40. Nd5  Bxd5 41. cxd5 Rf8 42. Bb7 {Again, it's not every day I see such a young guy  enter an endgame and play it so well. I am pretty sure we'll see more from him  in the future.} 1-0
