1.Nf3 {Van Foreest said that this game wasn't definitely going to be a London
but he was encouraged to do so against this move order} 1...d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.Bf4 
e6 4.e3 Bd6 {A solid line.} 5.Bd3 {Lots of things have been played here.} 
5...Bxf4 6.exf4 Qd6 {The main line.} ( 6...c5 {is also very playable.} ) 7.Qd2 
b6 8.Nc3 {One of the ideas of white's move order is to have Nc3 available and
there's also 0-0-0 as a possiblity. White has got a fighting non-standard
position.} 8...c5 {This must be the best.} 9.h4 $5 {an interesting try that the
engine doesn't dislike. Van Foreest was sat next to Tabatabaei when he played
this move in the Spanish League. Even though Tabatabaei lost he was much better
at some stage. (Game reference below). Van Foreest was reminded of the game
again during his preparation in the morning for this game.} ( 9.Ne5 {is probably
more normal.} ) 9...Nc6 $146 {A novelty and perhaps a slight concession.} (

hook for white to play against but white playing h6 isn't desirable either.} )

opportunities to prevent this and now it's really awkward.} 12...c4 $6 {another
move that likely isn't the best. The position is just awkward for black.} ( 
12...O-O 13.Bxc6 Bxc6 14.Ne5 {is very nice for white but black has to decide
which worse position he takes.} ) 13.Ne5 $1 ( 13.Bxc6+ Bxc6 14.Ne5 {also looks
good for white.} ) 13...Ng8 $2 {This is absolutely asking for it.} ( 13...O-O

be more incisive.} ) 14...f6 ( 14...a6 15.Bxc6+ Bxc6 16.f5 Ne7 17.fxe6 fxe6

Van Foreest's choice when he got here.} ( 17.Nf6+ Kd8 18.Nxf7+ Kc7 19.c3

enough for equality.} ) ) ) 15.Nxc4 $1 {Van Foreest must have been enjoying
himself here. He said he didn't even think that much about it, he felt it must
be winning.} 15...dxc4 ( 15...Qd7 {is less bad but still completely losing.} )
