[Event "Doeberl Cup 52nd"] [Site "Canberra"] [Date "2014.04.18"] [Round "3"] [White "Zhao, Yuan Zong"] [Black "Ikeda, Junta"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B42"] [WhiteElo "2573"] [BlackElo "2338"] [Annotator "Llewellyn, Alan"] [PlyCount "49"] [EventDate "2014.04.17"] [EventRounds "9"] [EventCountry "AUS"] [Source "ChessBase"] [SourceDate "2014.04.24"] {I apologise if I have the Australian player Yuan Zong Zhao name wrong but he seems from this game to be a first rate player, maybe the best from Australia ever. (and he still is only 29). Here he domilishes the even younger, but also promising Australian Junta Ikeda in an Australian Competition. The position gets rather difficult for Black and Junta shows no urgency needed in such positions.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Bd3 {This is the Scilian Defence Kan Variation.} Bc5 6. Be3 $6 (6. Nb3 $14 {This offers an immediate advantage to White regardless of where Black positions his Bishop.} Be7 (6... Ba7) (6... Bb6) (6... Bb4+)) 6... d6 7.

Qxe4 Nf6 { Look at this position carefully if Black castles short ie 14...O-O what will White do, the answer is on the moves comment.} 14. Qh4 Be7 (14... O-O $4 15. Bxf6 gxf6 16. Qxh7#) 15. Rfe1 Qb6 $6 {a bit of complacency on Juntas part.} ( 15... h6 $16) 16. Re2 Bd7 $6 (16... h6 $16 {This was the last chance saloon.}) 17. Rae1 Nd5 $2 18.
