Key moments

The Brilliant and Great moves, and the costliest mistakes, as the review explains them.

25.Rxd8+: Great

25.Rxd8+! The only good move here: every alternative is clearly worse.

  • Takes the rook on d8.
  • The next best move, 25.Kf1, would drop White's winning chances from 50% to 39% (−1.24).
  • 25.Rxd8+ trades rooks and gives check, leaving two replies.
  • Trades rooks.
  • Check, and Black has only two legal replies.
  • Black answers 25…Qxd8, taking back.

The opening

Queen's Gambit Declined: Orthodox Defense, Main Line (D63)

  • Both sides followed opening theory up to 13.Qa4: 25 moves in all, 13 by White and 12 by Black.
  • Theory runs out after 13.Qa4: too few games between strong players reached this position to go further.
