(Analysis by T. Grabuzova, ChessPro )
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Bc5 6.c3 b5 7.Bc2 d6 8.a4 Bg4 9.h3 Bxf3 10.Qxf3 b4 11.a5 O–O 12.d3 Rb8 13.Nd2 d5 14.exd5 bxc3 15.bxc3 Nd5 (See diagram) 16.d4 More solid is 16.
Qe4 with similar ideas, but without sacrificing a pawn.
16...exd4 17.Qd3 g6 17...Nf6 doesn't work since after 18.Ne4 Nxe4 19.Qxe4 White come up with the decisive fork.
18.Qc4 18.Qxa6 could be met with 18...Ne5 with the idea to counter 19.Ne4 with a nice move 19...Nxc3!
White has to decide whether to force a draw by playing 20.Nxc5 Ra8 21.Qb7 Rb8 or to try to demonstrate the potential of the passed a-pawn, supported by two bishops, after 20.Nxc3 dxc3 which led to a position with mutual chances.
''' White's decisiveness is rewarded surprisingly quickly.
This mistake seems to be uncharacteristic of Antoaneta Stefanova who is, in general, in her element when playing complicated positions with tactical opportunities for both sides.
After a reasonable 19...Nc3 White would have been facing certain problems.
