Concretely to attack the center with the move b2-b4! 8... f8e7 9. b2b4 9... e8g8 KingLoek's concept is very simple and effective. Finish the development and let White prove that he can actually challenge the black center. 10. a1b1 10... c5b4 This simple move is a novelty. Black had only tested 11. a3b4 11... b7b5 The point. Van Wely blocks the b4 pawn and slowly builds his play around it. This is a typical idea for the Hedgehog. 12. c1b2 12... c8f5 13. b1c1 The threat is Nc3xb5. 13... a8c8 Overprotects the knight on c6 and lets the rook stay clear of the bishop on g2.

It seems as White's central superiority should count more than Black's one on the queenside. However, since Van Wely has strong pressure along the half-open d-file, Ding has no time to start pushing the pawns. 18. b1c3 18... a7a6 Over the next moves Black confidently outplays his opponent. 19. c1a1 19... f5h3 20. g2h3 20... d7h3 21. d1d2 21... h3f5 The threat is Nb4xd3. 22. g1g2 22... a6a5 23. c3e4 23... b4d5 24. f1c1 24... a5a4 25. g2g1 25... h7h6 Logical play has given Black a large advantage.
