Slav 4.e3 Bf5 5.Nc3 e6 6.Nh4 Be4-TWIC 959

TWIC 959
Slav Slow 4.e3 Bf5 5.Nc3 e6 6.Nh4 Be4 7.f3 Bg6 8.Qb3 Qb6
The queenless game that can arise from the opposing 8.Qb3 Qb6 line results an an approximately equal game with the emphasis on quiet maneuvering. 

Black tried a bit too hard to mix things up in the feature game which allowed GM Vorobiov,E to demonstrate some fine endgame play.

Here is the feature game.
