As I recall (take that, TK!), this is precisely the same
as played by GMs Fischer and Spassky in game 1 of
their 1992 match. BF went on to play Bg5 h6, Bd2, and
somehow GM Spassky played so passively as to get
run-over on the a-file.

Gate did his job as black and got the draw.
Now Gata as white must attack and really put pressure on him ....I do
not want it to go to a blitz tie break....

Shirov,A (2739) - Kamsky,G (2714) [C95]
World Cup Khanty-Mansiysk RUS (7.1), 13.12.2007
Shirov and Kamsky met 21 times before. In rapids and blinds Kamsky leads
with 3,5-0,5, but in serious games according to my database the score is 8:2
for Shirov, not counting draws. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0
Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.h3 Nb8 The so-called Breyer Variation of
the Ruy Lopez. Black brings the knight to d7, where it won't disturb his own
pieces and pawns in the fight for the center. 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2
Re8 13.Nf1 Bf8 14.Ng3 g6 15.b3 [The main move is 15.a4 but Shirov has played
it before and it didn't bring him much: 15...c5 16.d5 c4 17.Bg5 h6 18.Be3
Nc5 19.Qd2 h5 20.Bg5 (20.Ra3 Nfd7 21.Rea1 Bg7 22.Bg5 Bf6 23.Bh6 Qe7 24.Qc1
Nb6 25.axb5 axb5 26.Ra5 Qd7= Shirov,A (2715)-Kramnik,V (2809)/Monte Carlo
(rapid) 2002) 20...Be7 21.Ra3 Rb8 22.axb5 axb5 23.Rea1 Qc7 24.Qe3 Ra8 25.Bh6
Nh7 26.Nh2 Rxa3 27.Rxa3 h4 28.Ne2 Ra8 29.Rxa8+ Bxa8 Shirov,A (2710)-Van der
Sterren,P (2555)/Wijk aan Zee 1998] 15...a5 This is Kamsky's novelty
introduced in his 4th round game versus Svidler. White achieved some
pressure there and Shirov is ready to repeat Svidler's play. The usual move
is 15...Bg7, another critical continuation is 15...d5. [Shirov himself
experienced troubles with black after 15...c6 16.Bg5 Bg7 17.Qd2 Qc7 18.a4 d5
19.dxe5 Nxe5 20.Nxe5 Qxe5 21.Bf4 Qe6 22.e5 Nd7 23.Bh6 Bh8 24.f4 Carlsen,M
(2581)-Shirov,A (2726)/Drammen 2005] 16.a4 b4 17.cxb4 axb4 18.Bb2 Bh6
19.dxe5 dxe5 20.Bd3
20...Nc5 It is Kamsky who deviates first The knight on c5 is very active,
while the task to protect pawn e5 is left for the other knight. [In the
mentioned game versus Svidler Kamsky didn't fully equalized: 20...Bf4 21.Qc2
Ra5 22.Rad1 Rc5 23.Qe2 Qe7 24.Nf1 Nb6 25.g3 Bh6 26.Bc1 Bxc1 27.Rxc1+/=
Svidler-Kamsky, Khany-Maniysk 2007.] 21.Bb5 Rightly provoking the advance of
the c-pawn. [Too passive is 21.Bc2 After 21...Bf4 Black takes over the
initiative.] 21...Qxd1 22.Raxd1 c6 23.Bc4 Nfd7 Thanks to his strong novelty
Kamsky practically equalized the position. White's trumps are slightly
better pawn structure and the passivity of bishop b7. But a closer look
reveals that these factors are not problematic for Black: the bishop will
enter the game via a6, while the pawn formation is perfectly acceptable for
Black: the weakness of pawn b3 secures Black sufficient resources for
counterplay. 24.Re2 Transferring the rook to the c-file looks like the most
logical plan. 24...Bf4 25.Rc2 Re7 26.Ne2 Bh6 27.Ng3 Bf4
A silent draw offer by repeating the moves. In spite of having less time on
the clock, Shirov decides to continue the game. This is quite
understandable - after all Shirov is a fighter and wouldn't be happy with a
short draw as white. 28.Bc1 [28.Ne2 Bh6=] 28...Ba6! [28...Bxg3 29.Bg5! (Not
29.fxg3 Nxe4) 29...Ree8 (Worse is 29...Bxf2+ 30.Rxf2 Ree8 31.Nh2 Rf8 32.Ng4
with a strong attack for White) 30.fxg3 favours White] 29.Bxf4 exf4 30.Ne2
Bxc4 31.Rxc4 Nxb3 32.Rxb4 Nbc5 Kamsky simplified the position and although
White keeps a slight initiative, Black easily achieves the draw. 33.Nc3 Ree8
34.Rd6 Re6 35.Rbd4 Rxd6 36.Rxd6 Ra6 37.e5 Rb6 38.Rd1 Rb3 39.Ne2 Ra3 40.Ned4
Rxa4 41.Nxc6 Nf8 42.Ne7+ A high-quality game from both players. Kamsky
showed once again that he came to Khanty-Mansiysk very well prepared. The
American can be happy with the opening outcome of the first game and it is
rather Shirov who must start thinking what to change in their third game,
when the Spaniard will have again white pieces. However, tomorrow in the
second game Kamsky will be on the white side and there are little doubts
that we'll see another tense battle. 1/2-1/2
