The game opened with the somewhat unorthodox Maróczy Defense, characterized by early d4 and e4 pawn moves by white and counter central and semi-central pawn moves by black.

The board witnessed aggressive maneuvers and exchanges, which displayed a high level of tactical acumen from both players. White managed to capitalize on a series of forceful moves, pushing black into a progressively tight corner: At move 10, white played fxe3, opting to recapture with the pawn and open up lines for the pieces.
