After 17.exf5 Black plays Nd5 17...Rac8 18.a5 b5 19.a6 Ba8 20.Bxb5 fxe4 21.Bc4+ Kh8 22.h5 exf3 23.gxf3 gxh5 24.Rh4 Komodo prefers to set its sight on the queenside and wants to play 24.Ra5 here - with a clear advantage for White. After the textmove Black comes close to equality again. 24...Rfe8 25.Ne4 Nxe4 26.fxe4 Bf6 27.Rxh5 Bxe4+ 28.Bd3 Bxd3+ 29.Kxd3 Re6 Black is a pawn up but all his pawns are weak and White's king is much more active than Black's. Komodo here recommends 29...c4+ 30.Ke4 Re7 31.Rh6 Rf7 32.Rf1 30.Kc4 Rcc6?! Now Black gets into trouble. 31.Bxc5 Be7 32.b4 Bxc5 33.bxc5 e4 34.Kd5! White's king has the two black rooks well under control. e3 35.Rh3 e2 36.Rh2 Rg6 37.Rxe2 Rc8 38.Re5 Rd8+ 39.Kc4 Rg4+ 40.Kb5 Rb8+ 41.Kc6 Rg6+ 42.Kc7 Rb3 43.Rd1 1–0

Wang,Y2716Wei,Y27241–02015A156th Hainan Danzhou GM3.3

At the Chess Olympiad 2014 in Tromsö Wang Yue played first board
and his solid performance helped the Chinese team significantly to win gold.

In round five Wang Yue played against Ding Liren, China's number one player and demonstrated that Black's King's Indian bishop on g7 can sometimes be really bad.

But the textmove buries the black bishop on g7 - and this plagues Black till the end of the game. 22.Ne4 Ng4 23.Nxg4 Bxg4 24.d6 Qd8 25.Bxa6 f5 26.f3 fxe4 27.fxg4 A rather curious pawn structure. However, it is much better for White. The opposite colored bishops favor him because Black's king is more exposed than White's. And the bishop on g7 is hampered by its own pawns. Qxd6 28.Rad1 Qh6 29.gxh5 e3 30.Qe4 Red8 31.Rxd8+ Rxd8 32.g4 Qf6 33.Rf1 Rd4 34.Qxe3 Rf4 35.b3 Qd8 The attempt to liberate the bishop leads to a lost endgame: 35...e4 36.Rxf4 Qxf4 37.Bc4+ Kh8 38.Qxf4 gxf4 39.g5 Be5 40.Bd5 e3 41.Kf1 Kg7 42.Ke2 Bd6 43.Be4 and the white pawns are very dangerous while the black pawns are blocked. 36.Rxf4 gxf4 37.Qd3 Qh4 38.Qd5+ Kf8 39.Qd6+ Kg8 40.Qe6+ Kf8 41.Qd6+ Kg8 42.Bc4+ Kh8 43.Qb8+ Kh7 44.Bd3+ Kh6 45.Qd6+ Qf6 46.Qxf6+ Bxf6 Black managed to get an endgame with opposite colored but he is still lost because the black bishop is too restricted by its own pawns. 47.Kf2 Bh4+ 48.Kf3 Kg5 49.Be2 Be1 50.Ke4 Bc3 51.Bf3 Bb4 52.Kxe5 Bc3+ 53.Kd5 Bd2 54.Kc6 Ba5 55.Bd1 Kh6 56.b4 cxb4 57.Bb3 Kg5 58.Kd5 1–0
