1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 { Kramnik thinks he'll try the black side of the Queen's Indian today.} 4. g3 Bb7 5. Bg2 Be7 6. O-O O-O 7. Nc3 Ne4 {Common theme in the Nimzo/Queen's Indian complex; Black aims to give White doubled pawns on the c-file.} 8. Qc2 { meets the threat and creates another.} 8... Nxc3 9. Qxc3 c5 {Such a central pawn thrust, contesting the d4-pawn, is almost always crucial for Black in Queen's pawn openings.} 10. Rd1 d6 11. b3 Bf6 {pinning} 12. Bb2 Qe7 13. Qc2 { unpinning} 13... Nc6 14. e4 e5 15. d5 Nd4 16. Bxd4 cxd4 {Here, Fritz creator Frans Morsch was worried. With this sort of closed position, the program cannot capitalize on its phenomenal tactical abilities and Kramnik has the opportunity to implement his superior strategic knowledge. The black pawn on d4 is strong. Not only because it's passed (with all the locked pawns around it, it's hard to imagine it advancing to queen), but also because it's solidly placed in the heart of White's camp, and hinders the White pieces.} 17. Bh3 { The king's bishop sees the light of day. Fritz played this instantly.According to Alex Kure, the man in charge of the program's openings, Deep Fritz has roughly 1.9 million opening positions in its database, from 88,000 master games, plus a lot of analysis that's never been played before. All this amounts to about 150 megabytes on the hard drive.} 17... g6 18. a4 { White intends 19.a5 to open the file for his major pieces.} 18... a5 { The backward b6-pawn is actually quite safe from harm, thanks to the locked pawn structure.} 19. Rab1 Ba6 20. Re1 {Useless.} ( { Much more to the point was} 20. b4 {opening things up on the queenside.}) 20... Kh8 {Black takes his time to place all his pieces in preparation for a future central pawn break with ...f5.} 21. Kg2 {These time-wasting moves are a great example of a computer's inability to handle such postions.} 21... Bg7 22. Qd3 Rae8 23. Nd2 Bh6 24. f4 {The computer beats him to it! This makes the champ's pieces sweat for a bit, but leads to equality and, as Mig Greengard would put it, a "high chicken factor" draw in four more moves.} 24... Qc7 25. Rf1 Kg8 26. Rbe1 Qd8 27. Kg1 Bb7 28. Re2 Ba6 1/2-1/2
