would be 10...a5 or 10...Nbd7, and chooses a lesser played line.} 11. Nc3 Bxf4

f6 18. Nf3 Qe8 19. b3 {Although this move looks natural enough to protect the
a4-pawn, White needed to play Qb3. The reason is Black's next reply} Ra6 $1 {
This rook lift is extremely strong and now the Georgian GM is in serious
trouble.} 20. Rd2 Rc6 $1 21. Qb5 b6 22. Rg1 {As if Khotenashvili didn't have
enough problems, Zhao is in great form and finds the move that highlights
everything that is wrong with White's position.} Qa8 $3 {In spite of the
presence of no fewer than four pieces on the a8-h1 diagonal between the black
queen and the white king, the x-ray attack is decisive.} 23. Qe2 f5 {Make way
for her majesty the queen!} 24. Ng3 Rc3 25. Rb1 ({The engines suggest} 25. h3 {
to give the king a place to flee to, but this does not solve White's problems.}
