The feature game was played in Minsk. Here is some background.
Hippo-8.Bf4
Black has a variety of plans in the Hippo. The featured game illustrates
-The flexible queenside pawn wall(diagram) after 15..c6
-Kingside expansion with ...h6/..g5
15...c6
I was quite surprised to learn than the Hippo was in GM Bologan's repertoire. He took some risks but managed to overcome his opponent in the feature game.
