8.0–0N
This obvious move is novelty! very strange
8...Ba6 9.b4 axb4 10.axb4 0–0 11.h3 Nbd7 12.g4 Nb6 13.Ng3 c5?
Much better is to block "f5" square 13...g6 14.Bh6 Re8 15.Qd3 Nc4 16.d5 Bb7 With very complicate game
14.g5!?
It was better to play 14.bxc5 dxc5 15.dxe5 Nfd7 16.Nf5 Nxe5 17.Qe2 Na4 18.Nd5 Bf6 19.Rd1± But Xu Yuhua have another interesting idea
14...Nfd7 15.dxc5 dxc5 16.Nd5 Nxd5?
Black must block "f5" 16...g6!
17.exd5 Bd6 18.Nf5
Now white's advantage is becoming dangerous for black
18...Qc7 19.Be4 Rfe8
Now it's more difficult to play 19...g6 but this is the best
20.Qg4! Nf8 21.Nxd6 Qxd6 22.bxc5 Qxc5 23.Ba3 Qc3 24.Bb4!
issuing tactical chance to move black's queen in worse position
24...Qc4
25.Bxf8! Rxf8
If 25...Kxf8 White can play very strong move 26.Qh4 Bb7 27.Qxh7 Bxd5 28.Bxd5 Qxd5 29.Qh8+ Ke7 30.Qxg7 with winning endgame
26.d6! Ra7 27.Qf5 g6 28.Qxe5 Qc8 29.Rfd1 Re8 30.Qd4 Rd7 31.Bf3 Bb7 32.Bxb7 Qxb7
33.Rab1?!
Until this moment white is playing very good positional game, but suddenly they are making mistake
better is 33.Ra3
33...Re4?
In time trouble Martha is making final mistake
After 33...Qc6! 34.Rd3 Red8 Black have very good chances to survive
34.Qc5
Now everything is clear!
34...b4 35.Re1 Rd8 36.Rxe4 Qxe4 37.Rxb4 Qe6 38.Rd4 Qxh3 39.d7 Qe6 40.c4 h6 41.Qd5 Qe1+ 42.Kg2 h5 43.c5 1–0
