{The Tromso 2014 Chess Olympiad was by far my best result to date and possibly
the most rewarding experience of my life as a chess player. All of my games
were very challenging, but somehow everything went my way when it really
counted. Some readers may be surprised by my choice of a round 2 encounter to
be an annotated game rather than, for example, my win over Judit Polgar, but I
actually found this game to be the most interesting of my victories and
probably the most challenging. Despite the rating differential, my opponent
clearly held no horses back and went after me from move 1, and in my opinion
he played a much better game than his 2392 rating would indicate. A 9/10
result is not just about beating Grandmasters- one has to get the job done in
the early rounds as well, and as this game shows, that is often not such a
simple task.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Bg5 e6 (

strong knight on c4 versus a not very good dark squared bishop. It was a
surprise to discover that White was actually a bit worse here, due to the
drafty position of the white king. Black brought the rook back to c8 in
preparation for Rf-g8 and White had problems contesting the g-file.}  *

{The last moves had been Qe4 and g6!? I had been thinking that the end of the
game was near with the transfer of the queen to h4, but the move g6 came as an
unpleasant surprise to me. Suddenly, by creating an interference on the b1-h7
diagonal, Black is threatening to take the knight on g5 since Rf8+ would no
longer be mate. If White takes the pawn on g6, Black still takes the Ng5 and
there is no follow-up. I lost confidence in my position and failed to see a
key move in a forced variation that leads to mate in 4!}  *
