The game contains no big attacks or sharp tactical blows. It is however very revealing in showing what is necessary to win certain games. The initial phase consists of creating a game with long-term
-Structural
-Minor piece imbalances.

Later white gained a piece for two pawns adding a material imbalance to the mix.

But still white did not establish a game turning position. In the process of both sides agreeing to maintain a dynamic equilibrium, one side(black) could not keep up and made an inaccuracy and then followed with another. Only now did white obtain a clear advantage to dictate the play. At this point there was no turning back and white converted the advantage to a full point
