6. Nf3 d5 {Turbo out of book, Variation known as the Rubinstein Variation in
the Nimzo-Indian Defence} (6... b6 7. d5 $1 exd5 8. cxd5 Nxd5 9. Bxh7+ Kxh7 10.

8. O-O b6 9. Bd2 Re8 (9... c4 10. Be2 Nc6 11. b3 Bxc3 12. Bxc3 Ne4 13. Qc2 $11)
10. a3 (10. dxc5 bxc5 11. a3 Bxc3 12. Bxc3 $14) 10... Ba5 11. Ne5 {
White is occupying the better places...} Bb7 12. Bb5 (12. b4 cxb4 13. Na4 Qd6 {
To "prevent" axb4} 14. axb4 Bxb4 15. Bxb4 Qxb4 16. Nc5 $1 bxc5 17. Rb1 Qc3 18.
Rb3 Qa5 19. Rxb7 $16) 12... Re6 13. Nb1 {The Turbo sets in a special manoeuvre,
at first it seems odd, but allbeit not to bad , black pieces are still a bit
clumsy (Re6 en Ba5)} Bxd2 14. Nxd2 Nc6 15. Ndf3 Nxe5 16. Nxe5 {Normally speakin
g black has to be vigilant as not to remain stuck with the isolated d5 pawn,
and should use the pawns on the queenside in his favor. The position is quite
balanced though.} Rc8 17. Rc1 cxd4 18. Rxc8 Bxc8 19. exd4 (19. Qxd4 $14 {
In this option, white will play on the isolated pawn theme}) 19... a6 20. Bd3
Bb7 21. Qe2 {Qf3 was better} b5 22. Bf5 (22. f3 $14 {Preventing Ne4}) 22... Re7
23. Re1 Ne4 $11 {There he goes !} 24. Qd3 Qb6 25. Bxe4 {This will make the 24
Qd3 a bit silly, but I don't think computers will ever look back in the 'Past'
as the only thing they care about is the futur .} dxe4 26. Qe3 f5 {Not a bad s
trategical prospect, to me thats the difference the Explorer sometimes tends
to make...} 27. Nd3 {Fancy move but no efficiency involved} (27. Rc1 Qf6 28.
Qb3+ Kf8 29. Rc5 $14 {
And white is a bit better, as the pieces exert more control over the enemy})
27... Qf6 28. Nc5 $2 {A stretegical bad move from the Turbo, as the central
occupation on e5 was much more restrictive for white.} Bd5 $15 {
A Positional move, can eventually get on the outside of his own pawns via c4}
29. f4 $6 {My chessengine played the same move, incredible don't you think ?
Now the well protected e-pawn is a free pawn ! This is not the first time I
see the Turbo play such a move. To me this is where humans and computers
depart.} h6 30. h3 g5 {This move was not applauded more then any other move by
my chessengine, but to me the fact that the Explorer plays it, and even the
preparation on h6, proves he tries to keep the game going and grasps for the
initiative ! Many computers would play dull moves in such cases.} 31. g3 (31.
Rf1 Rg7 32. fxg5 hxg5 $15 {And black surely has the initiative}) 31... gxf4 32.

40. b3 Qb6 41. Qg3 {What takes them so long ?} Kf7 42. Qh4 Qg6 43. Qd8 Qg2+ {
The best defense could be the attack} 44. Ke1 Qh1+ 45. Kd2 Qh2+ 46. Ke1 Qg1+
47. Ke2 Qh2+ 48. Ke1 Qg3+ 49. Ke2 Qf3+ 50. Ke1 Qe3+ (50... e3 {I would have
played this move, in the hope the King can escape from its checks via h5 & h4,
whereas black has the threat Qf2+ Qd2+ mate, but seemingly is the Qe8+
sufficient to keep the King inside and though both refuse to go for the draw,
this is what it will become...} 51. Qd7+ Kf6 (51... Kg6 52. Qe8+ Kg7 53. Ne6+
