ISR-ch 2006 Ramat Aviv (7), 20.12.2006
[Maxim Rodshtein]
This was a very decisive game. I faced Shi with the black pieces, when Shi was half point behind me on the clear second place. 1.d4

Is very intresting] 11.Bxc4

With and idea of the c6-c5 advance. Perhaps after Nbd7 first] 12.Nxg6

[13...Na6!?
The idea behind this move is to make white wekean his king's position. I think that this was more reasonable than what played in the game 14.a3

This looks like an obligatory move, as g4-g5 is very unpleasent for Black 19.Ne4

A very intresting capture, which I underestimated [To be honest, during the game I was more thinking about the cosequences of some "quite" move like this, as castle doesn't look possible 21.h3

Perhaps this was the best attemp for White, although this move looks strange, as the white rook looks well placed on h1 25...Bf6
