This game is a fantastic example of how to turn a positional advantage into a decisive attack. The opening begins as a Queens Gambit then into a Slav Defense and Eljanov quickly gains the advantage of the two bishops. He also acquires a space advantage early on, and manages to exploit both of these factors to gain a solid positional victory.
