An interesting idea, to destroy black’s pawn chain. White opens up the game, with the black's king still in center, so 7.e5 is a logical move 7...dxe5 Solid seems 7...e6 8.exd6 Bxd6 9.d3 Ne7 10.Nbd2 0-0 11.Ne4 Nd5 12.Re1 Re8 13.Ng3 Bg6 14.Ne4 Bc7 15.Nxc5 e5 16.a3 f5, with complications, as in the game Shirov-Gelfand, Dortmund 2002 8.g4! 8.Re1 f6! 8...e4! 8...Bg6 9.Nxe5 f6 10.Nxg6 hxg6 11.Qf3 Qd5 12.Qg2 
was played in one game, but white is slightly better.
9.gxh5 exf3 10.Nc3 10.Qxf3 Qd5= 10...Rc8 Interesting was 10...Qd7!? 11.Qxf3 Nh6! with the ideas of f5 and d4! 12.Ne4 Nf5 13.Nxc5 Qd5 14.Qxd5 cxd5. Black has good prospects: the pawn at h5 is weak and the black's pieces are well placed. 11.Qxf3
11...e6 This should be a TN, but the problem is that Dreev
loses time for developing. Possible was 11...Nf6, but, after 12.h6,
white has an initiative (12.Re1 Qd6 13.d3 e6 14.h6.) 12...Qd4 (12...g5
13.d3 Bxh6 14.Re1 0-0 15.Ne4 Nxe4 16.Rxe4 12.d3 Qf6 12...Nf6 13.h6!; Better seems 12...Ne7!? 13.Ne4 Nf5 with a solid position for black. Still, white can play 14.h6! 13.Qg3 Qf5 13...c4!? 14.Ne4 (if 14.dxc4 Qf5 15.Re1 Nf6. and the
white queen can escape to c2) 14...Qf5 15.Be3 cxd3 16.cxd3 14.Re1 Qxh5 14...Nf6 15.Re5 Nxh5 16.Qe3 Qg6+ 17.Rg5 Qh6 18.Qf3 Nf6 19.Rxc5 Qg6+ 20.Rg5 Qh6 21.Qg3 and black is in trouble 15.Re5 Qg6 16.Rg5 Qf6 17.Ne4 Qd8
18.Rxg7 Preferable was 18.Bf4! keeping the initiative 18...Nh6 (18...Nf6 19.Nxf6+ gxf6 20.Rg8 Rxg8 21.Qxg8.) 19.Nd6+ Bxd6 20.Bxd6 f6 21.Rxg7 Nf5 22.Rg8+ Rxg8 23.Qxg8+ Kd7 24.Qxd8+ Rxd8 25.Bxc5± 18...Nf6 18...Bxg7 19.Qxg7 Qd4 20.Nd6+ Kd7 21.Qxd4 cxd4 22.Nxf7 Ne7 23.Nxh8 Rxh8± with a pawn up for white 19.Nxf6+ Qxf6 20.Rg4 Be7? Logical was 20...h5 21.Ra4 Rh7! to activate the rook 22.Kh1 Rg7 with some counter play 21.Bf4 Qf5 22.Re1 Bf6 23.Be5 h5 24.Bxf6 Qxf6 25.Ra4
The main problem for black is coordination. All pawn weaknesses complete black's difficulties. 25...Qe7 25...Qxb2 26.Rxa7 Qf6 27.Qd6 Rg8+ 28.Kf1 Rd8 29.Qxc6+ Kf8 30.Qxc5+ Kg7 31.Qe5+- 26.Qg7 Rf8 The activity of white’s pieces is wonderful. Rublevsky shows good technical skill finishing the game. 27.Re5! h4 28.Rh5 Rd8 29.Rhxh4 Rd5 30.Kf1 A fine final move was 30.Qg3! But white is still winning 30...Rg5 31.Qh7 Nice position. Black has been completely outplayed. 31...Rfg8 32.Rhg4 Rxg4 33.hxg4+- The continuation is clear. 33...Qg5 34.Ke2 Kf8 35.Qh5 Qe7 36.Qe5 Rg5 37.Qh8+ Rg8 38.Qe5 Rg5 39.Qb8+ Kg7 40.Rxa7 Qf6 41.Ra8 There is no defense, so black resigned: 1-0
