GRAND MASTER CLASSES!
Good tradition develops and adapts to new environments. Since 1966
Chess Informant has lived up to its name by providing readers with a
regular source of topical chess information, selecting and analysing the
most noteworthy recent games and publishing them as a permanent
record in a handy book format. Since the late 1980s electronic media
has also entered this field and, with databases and live coverage on the
Internet, availability of information is no longer the key issue for chess
professionals, coaches, club players and chess fans. The modem chess
world has corne to expect, as a matter of routine, the steady stream of
data coming from an ever-growing number of toumaments ail over the
world. Chess is getting bigger and more global than ever before. But
today, with so much chess information at hand, what is most important
for compétitive players is good guidance in order to improve their chess
skills whilst still enjoying the pleasures of the game.
Since its 110th issue, Informant began to ask its contributors for more
than pure analysis of variations, when submitting their games for
publication. We wanted grandmasters to explain the game of chess
using a wider variety of means - not just with moves and symbols
but also with words, in order to convey their thinking processes and
sporting psychology. We thought readers would welcome their tips
and advice, even toumament narratives and photos.
We also wanted to highlight both the artistic and the technical sides of the
game and encourage readers to be more interactive than ever before. For
this reason, most of the articles now incorporate chess quizzes, designed
to raise the reader’s awareness when a critical or décisive moment has
been reached in a game (look for the “T” sign to indicate a test position).
We might add that ail the puzzles are available for free download at
www.chessinformant.rs and can be used for training purposes.

Our Maracana issue cornes out during the summer of the FIFA
Football World Championship 2014 and so it is very appropriate
that Rafael Leitao, one of our regular contributors, writes about the
recent visit of Magnus Carlsen to Brazil and also recalls some other
mémorable chess moments, past and présent, from his native country
and its love not only for soccer but also chess.
Sarunas Sulskis looks at three significant Carlsen games from the
Gashimov Memorial in Shamkir, Azerbaijan. From the European
Individual Championship in Yerevan, there are commentaries by three
of the highest placed players, including winner Alexander Motylev,
surprise runner-up David Anton Guijarro and 4th placed Dragan
Solak, who each share some of their magic moments on Armenian
soil. Alexander Ipatov has travelled time and again to the German
Bundesliga weekenders and now provides an insight into the success
of his club and its young team, headed by Anish Giri. Siberian city of
Khanty-Mansiysk hosted the most important event in the First half of
2014, the Candidates final, and we are delighted that the commentary
team of Viktorija Cmilyté and Peter Heine Nielsen agreed to report
on the triumphal comeback of recently deposed world champion
Viswanathan Anand. The chess couple take us as close as possible
into the very minds of the top players while Aleksandar Colovic
adds his own personal viewpoint by delving deeply into the impact
of the human factor on high level compétitive chess.
Top ten grandmaster Alexander Morozevich shows why he is regarded
as one of the most inventive players around today, as he discusses a
new opening which is based on a g7-g5 pawn thrust as early as the
third move! Furthermore, in the second part of a profound theoretical
study, Vassilios Kotronias explores in great detail 2.c3 against the
Sicilian Defence. Robert Aghasaryan aims to make a fashionable
sideline of the Scotch Game even more fashionable. Meanwhile new
opening developments are identified by Ivan Ivanisevic in the Semi-
Slav Defence to the Queen’s Gambit (with 7.g4).
Middlegame and endgame know-how are not forgotten as Mihail
Marin compares the présent day handling of central pawn strategies
with that of the past. Ivan Sokolov prefers to take a walk on the wild
side, where no mercy is spared as you accompany him on a trail of
nerve-racking king hunts. On the other hand, Eduardas Rozentalis
adopts a more subtle approach when handling endgames where
précision is paramount and the slightest error, let alone a blunder,
can see a hard day’s work thrown away. Finally, Karsten Mueller
continues the endgame theme by looking at the superiority of the
bishop pair over bishop and knight and the décisive rôle it can play
in winning endgame strategy.

nOÆMOCKOBHblE
BEMEPA
GM Alexander Morozevich
AN OPENING INNOVATION ON THE 3» MOVE!
The starting point of our study will be the position after 1ÆJ3 d5 2.c4 d4
3.b4. For chess players of any level there is always the question: on the
basis of which criteria should they choose one or other variation or move
when constructing their opening répertoire? Should they rely solely on their
own tastes and conventional skills? Should they consider the conclusions of
tournament praxis and statistics of wins and losses?
Can these be considered criteria at ail?
Could they base their choices on those of a top player and strictly follow his
ways? And what if the choice is unclear or they seem not to fully comprehend
it? Or if there are no games in that line? Of course, the easiest thing to do is tum
on the computer engine for any desired move, allow it to reach an acceptable
depth and consider the problem solved. If the computer takes everything into
account and makes the necessary calculations, then it’s playable!
But, isn’t it the case that in its first 2-3 lines,
the computer notoriously always chooses the
best moves? Even more so, isn’t this the case
even if the position is messy and without a
clear solution? But what about the early stage
of the opening, as in our topic here, where
the number of acceptable alternatives exceeds
those two or three top lines?
With ail this in mind, I recall a case from my
own expérience, dating back to March 2005. A
young Russian grandmaster, who had corne to
my training session, was reputed to be an expert
in the Scandinavian Defense and had played
thousands of games with it on the Internet.
We began to study the basics of that unknown
to me super-opening, and in a well-studied
theoretical position, somewhere in the région
of moves 11-12, I suggested one move which
my theoretical mentor had not considered
Alexander
Morozevich
• Country: Russia
• Born: 1977
• Rating: 2719
• Peak rating: 2788
• Title: Grandmaster since 1994
at ail in his file. The course of his thoughts and
reaction to my idea was the following: “So, let’s
hâve a look in the database - the move has not
been played so far; against me... there’s nothing,
neither over the board nor on the Internet; it is not
included in the first three lines of Fritz; therefore
we should not take it into considération”!
15
Morozevich
The above “logic” is quite anecdotal. Still,
consciously or not, it has been followed by
many more people than they themselves
care to admit. It remains to add that my
proposed move, after further testing, proved
so successful that my colleague soon ceased
to employ this particular line and, eventually,
the whole opening entirely.
Using the approach described above and
a little common sense, let’s go back to our
position after 3.b4.
1 The First criterion, our own tastes and skills,
is clearly subjective. This position is one
where there is wide scope for creativity. Then
again, the choice of move can be affected by
a variety of direct factors: the player’s mood,
the toumament standings, the opponent’s
facial expression, the political situation, or
whatever.
2 Statistics. As you know, there are three
forms of lies: i. a lie, ii. a shameless lie, iii.
statistics. However, the expérience of games
played in a certain position, even though
controversial, is often a good starting point
and most people, including myself, would
rather become familiar with this than neglect
it altogether. My database says the following:
3...F6 - 263 games - 44.5%
3...g6 - 224 games - 53.8%
3...c5 - 176 games - 47.7%
3...Ag4 - 88 games - 52.3%
3...a5 - 54 games - 50.9%
Other moves hâve been played relatively rarely.
Immediately I notice the dubious merits of
the moves 3...c5 and 3...a5: after ail, should
Black enter into battle in the very same région
where White was First to express an interest?
16
Morozevich
3...g6 brings about a typical structure after
4.g3 Jlg7 5.d3, one which in practice is
easier for White to play, even if objectively
the position should be approximately equal.
The moves 3...f6 and 3...Ag4 are, from my
point of view, the most logical, as they are
best suited to the purpose of fighting for the
centre and the development of one’s pièces
on their optimal squares.
3 The third method is the easiest one: tum on
the computer engines, wait a while and then
make a choice:
- Houdini 4 Pro x64: depth 25
1.3...Àg4 0.00
2.3...f6 0.02
3.3...£f6 0.11
4.3...c5 0.11
- Stockfish DD:______________
1.3...Ag4 0.02
2.3...&f6 0.10
3.3...c5 0.10
4.3...g6 0.18
As we can see, 3...Ag4 is the leading
candidate overall and this is, at least, the
first reliable - albeit conditional - guide for
making a choice.
4 Follow the leader - or any authority. The
modem elite (Kramnik, Aronian, Ponomariov,
Wang Hao) ail played 3...f6 - Vladimir has
even played the position from both sides.
Giants of the past played in different ways:
Botvinnik (though quite young!) chose 3...g6,
Alekhine beat Tarrasch with 3...c5 and lost to
Euwe after 3...g6.
Let’s try to draw a conclusion:
• statistics elect for 3...f6 and 3...g6.
computers choose 3...Ag4 and 3...£ùf6,
• the modem elite goes for 3...f6,
• the elite of the past liked 3... g6.
My own choice, on the basis of taste and
expérience, is represented by 3...f6 and
3...Ag4. It seems everything is logical,
nothing is lacking.
MIDNIGHT IN MOSCOW
When 17 year old Alexander Morozevich
won his first international tournament in
London with a 95% score, his striking will to
win was epitomised in the English press by
the headline: "Hetakes no prisoners!”
Since then he has twice been champion of
Russia and has remained one of its strongest
and most exciting players, whose games
are characterised by original opening play
followed by bold middle game planning,
laced with a strong undercurrent of tactics.
In his youth, Morozevich’s style was
influenced by a study of the games of the first
great Russian chess player, Mikhail Chigorin,
and this was reflected not only in his choice of
openings but also by his self-belief, creativity
and independence of thought.
Currently ranked 9th in the world, he
maintains his position among the chess
elite with all-round play, where controlled
aggression and calculated risk-taking are very
much in evidence. Time and again he injects
new life into his favourite King’s Indian and
Sicilian defences, making things happen by
dashing pawn storms on the flanks. On the
other hand, with the white pièces, he often
prefers slower fianchetto-style openings, or a
solid Spanish, Italian or Four Knights, making
territorial gains by stealth and concluding
with effective endgame play - or even an
explosive mating attack.
NOVELTY BY NAVARA
In 2011, an overlooked game was played in
the Polish League, in which David Navara,
playing Black, found his own, quite surprising
solution to our position. I should State that it is
hardly stronger than our main options (3...f6
and 3... Ag4), but the courage and imagination
of the Czech player are hard to ignore here!
The game between Tomas Markowski
and David Navara first revealed the move
17
Morozevich
3...g5 ! ? !, straight from the sériés “Our response
will be asymmetrical, but adéquate”.
When you overcome the first shock from seeing
a move like this, you can even discover its hidden
merits: by threatening g4 Black fights directly for
the centre, while in the case of, for example, 4.h3
h6, Black, as upon 3...g6, develops his bishop on
g7, grabbing space on the kingside and having
the g6-square for his knight on the way.
White’s reaction was 4.®a4+ c6 5.d3 g4
6.£ùfd2 and now, instead of 6... Ag7 as chosen
by David, I find that more in the spirit of the
position is 6...e5 7.g3 h5!? 8.h4 [8.h3 b5!?
etc.] f5 9. Ag2 £ùf6, with a very complicated
game where Black has his own trumps.
PRO ET CONTRA
So, now the aim of our research is to identify
the pros and cons of the move 3...g5. Of
course, the computer will help us.
I ought to point out the following:
• the acceptance of the gambit by means of
4.£ùg5?! e5 immediately gets White into
difficulties,
• inserting 4.h3 h6 suits Black perfectly,
• 4.g3 g4 5.£ùh4 e5 is also hardly impressive
for White.
4.e3 | 4.Wa4 | 4>b3 | 4.^b2
Thus, the four main continuations for White
are 4.e3, 4.®a4, 4.®b3 and 4.Àb2.
In my opinion the last one, 4. Ab2, is the most
logical continuation. The gambit should be
refuted by accepting it, only it is important to
select the proper move order. But first, let’s
take a look at the alternatives:
l.£rf3 d5 2.c4d4 3.b4 g5 4.e3
4.e3
Following classical chess principles: an
advance on the flank should be met by a
counterattack in the centre.
4...e5 5.ed4
A human and seemingly consistent move.
[5.Àb2 Àg7, 5.h3 and 5.®e2 don’t look
reasonable].

This far from obvions move is not to my taste,
but engines generally seem to like it and it
was seen in the first human game played in
this line. White protects the b4-pawn in good
time and entices the black pawn to c6, where
it occupies the natural square of development
for the black knight.

। lead to unclear positions.
D) 5.d3 g4 6.£ùfd2
Here White has two basic plans: either
to exert pressure on the d4-pawn or to
play on the light squares, by placing the
knight on e4.
6...e5 7.g3 and now both 7...h5 and 7...£ùf6
lead to complicated play. Even 6...h5,
preventing 7.g3, is stronger than 6...Ag7,
as seen in the game. In general, this is not
something that Black should be afraid of.

rescues Black and wins a piece.]
7...ef4 8.£>f3 [Instead White can try to include 8.h4

whom this benefits: e.g. 9...£ùe7 10.g3 Àg4 etc.]

Black still has to prove his compensation.]
7.£ùc5 [7.£ùg3 £ùf6 8.d3 f4 with complicated play.]
7...b6 Other moves seem less convincing to me.
8.®a4+ Again the queen is rushing to the
other end of the board, aiming to prevent
Black from castling or, by provoking Black to
push his pawn to c6, to restrict the activity of
Black’s minor pièces.
[After 8. W Àb7 9.e3 ®h4 or 8.^d3 £ùe7
it is not so easy for White to complété the
development of his pièces.]
8...<à>f7 [After 8...c6 9.£ùd3 £ùe7 10.g3 0-0

easier to play with White here.]
9.^d3 Àb7
[If 9..Æùe7 10.g3 Àb7 ll.f3, with the idea
Ah3 and 0-0, after which White somehow
manages to develop his pièces.]
This is the critical position for the proper
évaluation of the variation (otherwise Black
should try to find something else on move 6).
It looks slightly préférable for White, but the
position is so strange that I personally would not
dare to claim that as being the final verdict.
A couple of sample scénarios:
i A) 10. Wb3 £ùe7 ll.e3
ll..Æùg6
[11 ...a5!?] 12.h4 [12.ed4 ed4 13.^a3 ge8+

and though the engine says that White is
better, it doesn’t really mean that it is so. ©;
B) 10.e3 £ùe7 ll.ed4 ed4 12.^a3 ge8

Intending a further ...a5 push at some point,
playing against White’s king.
CONCLUSION:
Let’s summarize. Certainly, the value of
David Navara’s innovation is not as high as
we would like - on move 3, Black has no
less worthy alternatives. But despite this,
I admire the human genius who thought
up the move...g5 and opened a new page
in the theory of openings, already on the
third (!) move, giving both myself and ail
you readers, I hope, a huge réservoir of
new material to be analyzed and employed
in practical play.

GM Sarunas Sulskis
HIGH DRAMA IN SHAMKIR: CARLSEN WINS AFTER
BITTER RIVALRY WITH CARUANA
On his arrivai in Shamkir, the new world champion Magnus Carlsen, sporting
a stupendous 2881 ELO, entered the dangerous arena of the Gashimov
Memorial, where he faced a hostile field of glory-hungry rivais, Fabiano Caruana
Italy, Hikaru Nakamura USA and Sergei Kaijakin Russia. as well as local heroes
Teimour Radjabov and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. The six young grandmasters
battled it ont in an uncompromising all-play-all double rounder.
In staging this super-toumament, the Azerbaijan Chess Fédération, backed by
central govemment, honoured the memory of their prematurely departed top
class player, Vugar Gashimov (1986-2014). Though the parallel B toumament
featured such stars as the European Champion Alexander Motylev and a few
other 2700+ players, the general public was mostly captivated by the thrills
and spills of the main event.
By winning his First two games, Carlsen immediately set a fast pace. However
Magnus’ fans throughout the world were in for a serious test of their faith
when he then lost ail his territorial gains with two consecutive defeats at the
hands of Caruana and the late Vugar’s close friend Radjabov.

0:1 Sulskis
And so the first half was over, leaving
Radjabov topping the field with 3 points,
much to delight of the Azerbaijani chess
and non-chess public. No doubt Vugar was
rejoicing in the heavens, seeing his beloved
Azerbaijani chess at the forefront.
With things not going as planned, Magnus
then spent the free day immersed in football.
But don’t get me wrong - he didn’t lie on the
sofa, sipping beer and crunching chips while
watching the TV set. No, he played it for real,
scoring goals from the forward line. But the
most beautiful shots by Magnus were yet to
corne in the second half of the Memorial. He
began by storming through Mamedyarov and
Nakamura with the black pièces.

The opening stage is over. Nakamura has built
up a formidable pawn chain on the kingside,
ready to bulldoze the black £ùe5 out of the
centre and then jump down the black king’s
throat. Meanwhile Carlsen hastily expands on
the queenside and threatens a counterattack on
the a7-gl diagonal to keep the game balanced.
To the great delight of the spectators, the game
rapidly assumes many well known features of
their Zurich drama.
14.Àe3 Àb6 15.Wd2 gb8 16Æùdl!
Classy manoeuvring, which we may admire
and leam from. The knight can be positioned
on either e3 or f2, where it will reinforce
White’s kingside aggression. Note how
skilfully Nakamura exploits the dl square,
firstly to reposition the knight and then to
carry out the bishop manoeuvre Ae2-dl-c2.
16...Ac8! However Carlsen doesn’t give up
in this creativity contest and, by freeing up
the base on d7, envisages the ...£ùd7-c5-b3/d3
route to be taken by either of his knights.

The Fianchetto Gruenfeld and Must-Win Situations

The last round of the Shamkir super-
toumament saw a very exciting situation -
Caruana had to beat Carlsen with Black to
win the tournament. Even though they were
equal on points he needed a win because he
had an inferior tie-break. So the first question
was how he would approach the opening in
this délicate situation.
Caruana showed his aggressive intent as
early as move 5 when he offered a pawn
for central domination. He could hâve taken
on d4 instead and transposed to the well-
known exchange variation of the Fianchetto
Gruenfeld, known for its solidity and drawing
tendencies - it served Kasparov well in his
matches with Karpov as he never lost a game
in it. But certainly this isn’t the way to play
when you need to win. Or is it?
Let’s go back in history and see what happened
in another elite game in a similar situation.
Round 12 of the Palma Interzonal in 1970
saw the clash of the leaders -Oeller was sole
first with 8/11 ahead of Fischer with IVilX 1.
He was White and a draw would hâve kept
him in the lead, so he started with 1 .£rf3,2.c4
and 3.g3, similar to what Carlsen did against
Caruana. Admittedly, the situation in Palma
wasn’t as critical as in Shamkir, as a round
12 game in a 23-round tournament shouldn’t
be that important, but here it was a principled
fight - Geller had been Fischer’s bête noire,
beating him in their last three encounters, so
even though the tournament victory didn’t
dépend on this one game, we do know that for
Fischer every game was a must-win situation.
So how did he react to Geller’s obvious
intention to sit tight and make a draw? He did
not lunge forward like Caruana but calmly
went into the exchange variation of the
Gruenfeld. Geller must hâve misinterpreted
this as he offered a draw as early as
move 7, the moment he took on d5. A big
psychological mistake, but he was probably
thinking that he was putting Fischer under
pressure with the offer, as if telling him “if
you don’t want a draw, try to beat me in
this symmetrical and most solid position.”
Fischer laughed at the offer and simply
continued as if nothing had happened. This
seemed to place Geller out of his comfort
zone and soon he lost a pawn, but he
defended well and should still hâve drawn, if
not for his blunder on move 71. Eventually,
Fischer’s decision proved to be right.
In the 44 years since the Palma Interzonal,
theory has advanced immeasurably, so I am
pretty convinced that if White really wants to
make a draw in the Fianchetto Gruenfeld, he
can do that rather comfortably. So Caruana
was probably right not to go there. But where
did he go?
After Carlsen took on c5 and both sides castled
we were actually in yet another Fianchetto
variation, but with colours reversed (and
hence a tempo up for White) - now it was
Carlsen playing the Gruenfeld! This line was
used (rather unsuccessfully) by Romanishin
in his match against Anand in 1994. White (or
in Carlsen’s case Black) sacrifices a pawn in
order to establish a powerful centre and hâve
chances for an attack. But if Anand was able to
diffuse the line with Black, certainly Carlsen
was in a much better situation, being a tempo
up? He used that tempo to land a knight on d6
to obtain an advantage and win a good game.
Was Caruana’s choice on move 5 right? l’d say
yes and no. Yes, because he avoided a probable
draw in case of taking on d4 and gave himself
a fighting chance to try and outplay Carlsen;
no, because the position objectively was better
for White, a whole tempo up compared to a
line which is considered good for Black when
a tempo down. And giving Carlsen a pawn
and a tempo is rarely, if ever, a good idea.

a rook pawn going nowhere. Secondly, this
pawn is much more likely to run into danger
on a4 than on a5. The single merit of the move
is that it prevents the manoeuvre ®dl-a4-h4,
which is hardly décisive.

It becomes obvious that White wants to hold
on tooth and nail to his extra pawn. No less
importantly, his knight will penetrate to d6.
Once it gets there, Caruana is going to hâve to
solve strategical problems, which Nakamura
failed to do when playing with the white

ANAND STRIKES BACK
Candidates tournament in Khanty-Mansiysk
By GM Peter Heine Nielsen and GM Viktorija Cmilyté
The Candidates tournament in Khanty-Mansiysk, in March 2014, captured
the attention of the chess world for more than three weeks. After the
dramatic London Candidates last year there was little doubt that this System
of qualification for the World Championship match proved to be excellent
for bringing out the best in the players. Just like last year, the eight players
who had qualifîed gathered together to contest a double round robin, and the
winner would challenge the world champion Magnus Carlsen in an upcoming
title match this autumn. And once again the Candidates’ didn’t disappoint: it
was full of surprises, suspense and excitement.
As the official commentators, your authors had the unique opportunity to follow
the games live, watch the players and expérience the fighting atmosphère of
one of the most important toumaments of the year.
The future winner and undisputed hero tumed out to be the dethroned world
champion Vishy Anand. Before the tournament started, many thought that
Vishy might hâve lost his appetite for fighting for the highest places. The last
couple of years were not successful for the Indian 5-time World Champion,
and despite his extraordinary strength and great expérience, there was some
considérable doubt whether he would take part in the event, and, once he
agreed, if he would be among the contenders for lst place.
Prior to the event, most experts mentioned Levon Aronian and Vladimir
Kramnik as the biggest favourites. The Armenian GM has firmly established
himself as the 2nd highest rated player in the world, while the Russian ex-
world champion had a number of excellent results in the last years, including
his shared first in the 2013 Candidates’. Already at the very start of the
tournament these prédictions were put into question.

Nielsen, Cmilyté
Round 1 saw a crucial game between Anand and Aronian (also analysed
by GM Karsten Mueller in his new column on endgame strategy; Page
143). But here we’d like to shed light on some important moments
from an overall perspective. Our article is not designed to provide fully
detailed analysis but rather to show some reasons behind the decision-
making of the players.

One of the sidelines in the Slav, which aims to
steer the game away from the most theoretical
variations. White tries to reach a complex
middlegame with the board fiill of pièces,
rather than any opening advantage. Anand
is obviously ready for this scénario. He had
faced this move with Black against his future
second Radek Wojtaszek in the Bundesliga
in 2007. The young Polish GM managed to

After this win Vishy established himself
firmly in the lead with 2Yi out of 3. The two
other players who seemed to be in excellent
form were Vladimir Kramnik and Peter
Svidler. In the 3rd round they played one of
the most complex and beautiful games of the
tournament:

SVIDLER 2758 -
KRAMNIK 2787

Kramnik was in huge trouble after the opening,
and was plainly lost during time-trouble, but
managed to put up a defence and survive to
the following position, where he uncorked
what could easily win the title of “the move
of the tournament”.
Black to play. How can he defend against the
advance of White "s passedpawns?

perforais miracles of multi-tasking: it stops
the two white central passed pawns, défends
his own king, and can’t be taken due to the
pin on the white e-pawn.
[And as Black now threatens ...®e4 there is
no time for moves like 47.e6. Svidler thought
for a while, only to realize that “by magic”
his advantage had disappeared and he had to

In the next few rounds Vishy carried on
solidly and confîdently, not even once getting
a worrisome position. He made a couple of
draws and continued to lead the fïeld. To
an outsider it looked like the tournament
tension wasn’t affecting him at ail, while
with the other players the opposite was the
case. Overall, the number of blunders and
major mistakes was higher than usual in
Khanty-Mansiysk, which only goes to show
that it’s virtually impossible to go through
a 14-round-toumament with a lot at stake,
without having an off day. In rounds 4 to 6
both Kramnik and Svidler each lost a game,
while Levon Aronian managed to get back
on the right track. In round 7 he was facing
Sergei Karjakin with Black. After a complex
struggle, Levon managed to gain the upper
hand, but Sergei kept on putting up clever
résistance, and in the endgame the players
arrived at the following position:
C65
KARJAKIN 2766 -
ARONIAN 2830
Khonty-Monsiysk (et) (7) 2014
Black to move. Can he still save this game?
At times, when one is following a game
with a computer, crucial moments might go
unnoticed. Here engines evaluate Aronian’s
position as just winning, but gravely
underestimate the practical difficulties in the
position. At first sight, it looks like White is
pinning his hopes on Sh8+ when in fact f4!
as well as ÇÈpgS ! are far more serious threats
and could even place Black in danger.
47... ®c4ü The only winning move.
[47...Wb3? 48.<&g3! illustrâtes one of White’s

threats, as now the knight on f2 is attacked

49.Sh8+ <à>g6 50. ®e4+ wins;
47... c4 also fails, as 48.f4! with the threat of

Thus Aronian caught up with Anand and
had to face him with White in the next
round. It seemed to be a crucial point in
the tournament. Here the Armenian had
a realistic chance to take the lead and it
was ail in his hands. In the end the game,
which was so eagerly anticipated, ended
in something of an anti-climax, but even
though it was short, it contained much of
interest.
Al 1
ARONIAN 2830 -
ANAND 2770
Khanty-Mansiysk (et) (8) 2014
A very important game for the tournament
standings, as the two leaders were facing
off. Not only was there a full point at stake
in the final standings, but also, in case
of a draw, Anand would ensure himself
the superior tiebreak, due to the results
of their individual encounters. Aronian’s
approach to the opening is very interesting
and very modem in the sense of avoiding
computer-based préparation, yet trying to
surprise the opponent with the “human
touch” very early on.
I.c4 c6 2.&B d5 3.®b3!?
Provocative, surprising, and... dubious!
Aronian’s idea is to try playing a known
concept, with a pawn on d2 instead of d4.
[After 3...^f6 4 d4 dc4 5 ®c4 Àg4 the
game would transpose to Mamedyarov -
Anand from the 3rd round. Instead Aronian
might also hâve tried something like 4. g3 !?.
Anand thought for a while and then took the
bull by the horns...]
3...d4!N Surprisingly a novelty. Up to now,
47
Nielsen, Cmilyté
players of the black pièces hâve mainly
replied with the routine 3...£ùf6.
4.e3 c5!
Another good move, and a logical follow up
to d4. Now they hâve reached a Benoni-like
position, with reversed colours, where White
in principle is two tempi up. On the downside,
he has spent one of them on Wb3, which leaves
the queen misplaced and somewhat exposed.
For Aronian this must hâve been a calculated
risk, partly expecting Anand to duck the
challenge in a game where a draw would be
a very good resuit, and partly hoping that at
least he would hâve the practical advantage
of having previously analyzed the ensuing
complications with a computer. Despite that,
objectively speaking, Black’s position could
easily become very promising.
5.®b5+!? The only way to make ®b3 a useful
move, but Black gets excellent compensation
for the sacrificed pawn.
5...^c6 6.®c5 e5 7.Wb5 a6 8.Wb3 Àc5
Solid and strong.
[Even more promising was 8...£ùf6, with the
idea of 9.Ae2 d3! as well as 9. d3 Ab4!?, both
leading to a promising initiative for Black.]
9.d3 W6 10.e4 White now has a “Czech
Benoni” structure, where Black is missing the
c5-pawn. Still, that gives the second player
the c5-square for his knight, and it seems like
Black has full compensation for the pawn.
10...0 0 H.Àe2 Àb4+ 12.£ùbd2 a5 13.0-0
£ùd7 14.Wdl Àd6 15Æùel £ùc5
It was debated whether Anand would even stand
better after 15...a4!? but then White has options
like Ag4 as well as £ùbl-a3. And while Black
has a lot of activity, breaking down White’s
solid formation is another matter.

Peter Heine Nielsen has the unique privilège of traming with both Anand and Carlsen

Nielsen, Cmilyté
With a draw by répétition. Aronian estimated
Black’s compensation to be at least fiilly
adéquate, while Anand, apart from a draw
being a good resuit, securing him the tie-break
edge over Aronian, found it hard to progress
without taking considérable risk. But despite
only 19 moves, the game did include a rather
curious opening battle, as well as an unusual
purely positional pawn sacrifice.
1/2:1/2 Nielsen, Cmilyté
After this draw, Anand and Aronian shared the
lead, but in case of a tie, Vishy would be the
winner. However, the next round was to prove
a tuming point in the tournament. Anand was
facing Topalov with White, while Aronian
was Black against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov.
The Azéri GM was the comeback hero of the
middle of the tournament: despite starting
with Yi out of 3, when it seemed that the
tournament could easily end up being a total
disaster for him, he didn’t lose his nerve
and stayed true to his enterprising style. His
détermination was soon rewarded: in the
subséquent rounds he managed to corne back
by beating Andreikin and Svidler and was
back on a solid 50% when he sat down to
play his game with Aronian.

Khanty-Mansiysk (et) (9) 2014
l.d4 £ùf6 2.c4 e6 3.&c3 l»b4 4.13
Mamedyarov is true to his style of aiming for
very sharp positions. During the Candidates’
he quite often ended up in risky situations
after the opening phase but then managed
to produce some brilliant ideas. Without any
doubt, his games were the highlight of the
tournament.
4...0-0 Not the most popular move. As it
tums out, Aronian has some interesting
and powerful surprises in store, yet still
Mamedyarov goes for the sharpest move.
5.e4!? [5.a3 is a more popular and a more
solid continuation and was played several
times by Mamedyarov himself]
5...d5 The following few moves are basically
forced.

now...

to Aronian’s novelty.
Il.®e2 [H.<à>f2 is dubious since after
11 ...£ùf6 the black knight will jump either to
e4 or g4 when White will already face serious
problems.]
11... Wf7! The novelty. Here it became obvious
that White is the one trying to maintain the
balance, as his position looks very dangerous,
with a mass of undeveloped pièces on the
kingside.
[On the other hand, 11 ...£ùf6 12.®e8 Se8+
Shmeliov 2270 - Kraai 2505, Las
Vegas 2007) 13.<à>f2 is quite comfortable for
White.]
12.fg7 Se8! Of course. The g7 pawn is a
trusty shield for the black king at this point,
and so Black plays actively to take advantage
of his opponent’s serious lag in development.
13.Ae3 £ùc6 While commenting on this game
live, it seemed that White must be on the
49
Nielsen, Cmilyté
brink of losing already. But starting from here,
Mamedyarov manages to find the best chances,
whereas a lesser player might hâve already
resigned himself to an opening disaster.
14.Wd2! The only reasonable way to start
getting out the kingside pièces, at the same
time taking the very important c4 square
under control.
[The alternatives look horrible: 14.<à>£2?
£ùf6 wins for Black; 14.f4, with the idea of
developing the knight and closing down the
e-file with £ùe5, is possible but after 14...£rf6
15Ærf3 Ag4 White’s position looks ugly.]
14...^a5
15.gbl! A great défensive concept. White
is ready to sacrifice the exchange for one of
Black’s knights.
[The alternatives are much worse: after 15.2a2
W lô.Wcl W 17.Wdl Se3+ 18.<à>f2gc3
19.£ùe2 Sc4 20.®b3 Ad7 White’s position

15...£ùb6 [15...£rf6 is also possible. For

compensation for the exchange and at this
point Aronian must hâve been looking for
something more.]
that the players discussed a lot during the press
conférence. After 17.dc5 d4! the idea is to free
the d5 square for the knight. Now 18.cb6 is the
critical move (after 18. ^d4 Q\b3 19. ^&dl
20. <&f2 Ç\d4 21. W4 ^a2+ 22. &g3 the
position is very messy), for example, 18...de3

£ùc6 21 .gh4 (or 21.^e4 foe5) ®f6! 22.gh7 gd8
the resulting position is incredibly complex. With
hindsight, 16... c5 was probably worth going for,
but to evaluate correctly the resulting positions
at the board was basically impossible.]
17.Ac4 dc4 [17...£ùc4 was probably better,
as pointed out by Aronian during the press
conférence. After 18.Sc4 dc4 the position
would be similar to the one in the game, with
the small différence that the queen is more
comfortable on f7 than d5. Then 19.£ùe2 Af5
20.<à>f2 with an unclear position.]
18.Sb5 [Continuing with the same idea.
18.<à>f2 is worse for White, due to 18...^d5
19. Ah6 £ùb4 2O.ab4 when his structure on the
queenside is quite vulnérable. Then after 20...
a5 21.ba5 Sa5 22.£}e2 Af5 Black’s pièces
become very active.]
18...Àf5
Here Aronian spent quite some time, and
apparently ...4ùd5 didn’t seem too attractive to
him, as with his last move he’s basically inviting
Mamedyarov to give up his idea of sacrificing
the exchange and play Se5 instead.
16.Sb4 The point, now White is ready for the 19.<à>f2 [Mamedyarov sticks to his plan of
knight jump to c4. giving up the rook, although objectively

19...£ùd5 Otherwise Af4 would follow with
significant advantage.
2O.Hd5 [2O.Af4 was also possible, but it is
understandable that once Shakhriyar noticed
that his opponent was not too keen on allowing
the exchange sacrifice, he was happy to play it.]
2O...Wd5 2L4ùe2 If we compare this position
with the one that could hâve happened had
Black played 17...£ùc4, it seems that White
has managed to improve his position in
the meantime, and objectively he has good
compensation for the exchange.
21...a5 The idea of creating counterplay on
the queenside is very logical.
[An alternative could be to simply position
the rooks in the centre and eventually take
the g7 pawn. 21... gad8 22.Àf4 (22&f4 ^f7
23.g4 would only weaken White’s position
and after 23...^,e6 Black is absolutely fine)
Sd7 23.Sel c5 is very unclear but, unlike the
game, Black is not in any particular danger.]
22.h4 [The more straightforward 22.£ùf4 Wd6
23.g4 was also enterprising.]
22...b5 23.h5
A very interesting approach, Mamedyarov
is willing to spend three tempi just to secure
the g7 pawn. It almost seems too slow, but a
strong g7 means that practically any endgame
will be winning for White, plus the fact that if
the knight ever cornes to f6, it’s over.
23...b4 [Here 23...®d6!?, as pointed out by many
commentators, was worth a try. The position after
24.h6 (24.^al might be objectively stronger,
slowing down the game a bit with an unclear
position.) Wa3 would be very complex.]
24.cb4 ab4 25.ab4 Wb5? Too slow.
[25...Ad3 26.£rf4 ®d6! was an excellent
setup, making sure the queen Controls the black
squares close to the king and simultaneously
keeping an eye on b4, f4 and e5. It’s not an
easy move to make at ail. But the queen on b5
is simply too remotely placed and ends up eut
off from the kingside.]
26.Sel! Natural and strong. The last piece
enters the action. Now Black is in huge trouble,
whereas White’s play unfolds by itself.
26... Ad3 27.£ùf4 Sa3 After this, the position
is (somewhat surprisingly) completely lost.
[27...Sa4 was Black’s last decent chance.
Even so, after 28.d5 ®b4 29.Wb4 gb4 3O.h6

28. d5! Now White wants to simply put his bishop

one would expect. If we look through the
opening phases of ail the games, in more than
a few the better prepared player ended up
suffering or even losing in the end. Aronian -

- Topalov from the 5th round (See Page 147)
immediately corne to mind. On the other
hand, it just highlights the fact that, even at
the very top level, in order to win one needs
to make a lot of good decisions in each phase
of the game, and getting a promising position
after the opening is often just a first step in
the direction of overall success.
While Mamedyarov had some impressive wins
in the middle of the tournament, the comeback
hero of the 2nd leg of the Candidates’ was
without any doubt Sergei Karjakin. In the First
7 rounds it seemed that nothing was going the
Russian’s way, and with 2!4 out of 7 he found
himself alone in the tournament cellar. At that
point even his biggest fans wouldn’t hâve
predicted that in the end he would be the only
player with a realistic chance to challenge
Anand for First place.

As we hâve just seen, perhaps the most
surprising trend of the tournament was that
good préparation didn’t pay off as much as

Black to move. What was his surprise
continuation?

Nielsen, Cmilyté
For a while things looked rather grim for
Kaijakin. Svidler had obtained a promising
initiative for the sacrificed pawn, but Sergei
defended stubbomly and took his chances in
the mutual time-pressure with a very strong 40*
move. However, most impressive of ail was the
following decision, when it already looked like
Svidler had found a good way to defend.
64...gd4! [64,..Sg7? 65.Àg7 g4 66.&d2!
would just lead to a drawn opposite-coloured
bishop ending, as when Black’s king is on g2,
White’s stands on el, and, as soon as Black
pushes ...g3, White answers JLe5! and there
is no way for the black pawns to progress
without White setting up a perfect blockade.]
65.&d4
65...b6Ü This is the real gem!
[65.„g4 66.Sb7 g3 67.ge7 g2 68.gel is
similar to the game, but a much better
version for White where his counterplay is
just in time.]
66.<à>c3
[66.Sb7 g4 67.Sb6 g3 is one important
différence as with e6 being protected by the
black bishop, White simply will not be in time
to stop the g-pawn from queening.]
66...ÇÊ?e3! Another précisé move. By
shouldering the king, Black blocks him from
reaching el and White has no good way to
stop the g-pawn.

Nielsen, Cmilyté / Colovic
The position is similar to the line after 65...

0:1 Nielsen, Cmilyté
In the next round, against Kramnik, Karjakin
exploited an early blunder by his opponent to
win a couple of pawns and, with two wins
in a row, from being an outsider he suddenly
had a realistic chance of fighting for one of
the top places.
The 9th round was crucial for Anand’s lead.
While his two closest rivais, Aronian and
Kramnik, lost, Vishy managed to win an
important game against Topalov, which gave
him a 1 point lead over Aronian and at least
1 !6 points over the rest of the field.
The Importance of Being
Monotonous
BY GM ALEKSANDAR COLOVIÔ
Anand’s victory at the Candidates
was a surprise for many, yours truly
included. How could a player who
struggled for several years, lost a World
Championship match without winning
a single game (following Lasker
and Kasparov) and was generally
considered way past his prime, stage
such a convincing come-back?
The answer can be summed up in two
words, quite popular in the world of
tennis - unforced errors.
Anand showed that he leamed quite
a lot from his lost match to Carlsen.
What he leamed was the meaning of
the word ‘monotonous’.
Back in the 1950s Smyslov used to
say that he would play 40 good moves
and if his opponent would match them
then the game would be a draw. In the
1970s Spassky said that Fischer’s play
was “solid and monotonous” while
Taimanov described Fischer’s play as
“a wall coming at you.” They were
talking of a style of play that puts you
under pressure throughout the whole
game, of moves of high quality whose
level never drops. Today this style of
play is known as computer style, but
you can see that there’s nothing new
under the sun.
Carlsen beat Anand because his play
was solid and monotonous. Anand’s
play was also solid, but not as
monotonous - he committed errors in
positions where they weren’t really
forced, the endgames he lost in games
5 and 6 were pretty equal for most of
the time. He simply couldn’t withstand
the pressure of Carlsen’s solid and
monotonous play.
But Anand leamed and he showed it in
Siberia. There were four other players
54
Colovic
who won the same number of games as
him, three, but ail of them also lost at
least three games, while he didn’t lose
a single one. He played solid moves on
a constant, regular basis throughout the
whole game, round after round. Add to
this his excellent opening préparation -
he didn’t hâve a single bad position after
the opening in the whole tournament -
and you hâve the recipe for a victory.
Anand had another advantage in Khanty.
He didn’t hâve the Monomakh’s cap
with him this time, the burden of the
title (remember Spassky’s words that
his championship years had been the
most unhappy in his life), the pressure
of the public. After Chennai, nobody
was expecting anything of him, but most
important, he wasn’t expecting anything
from himself. As he said it, he was hoping
to do well, but that was ail. Compare
this attitude to the attitude of the other
players, especially the favourites Aronian
and Kramnik. They came to Siberia to
win. Nothing wrong with that, of course,
but they put so much importance on
that, so much pressure on themselves,
that eventually they cracked. They also
played good, solid chess, but they lacked
the monotonous part, exactly because
of the pressure they were feeling. They
couldn’t concentrate completely on the
task at hand and while they could still
cope with the pressure at the beginning
of the tournament, when they were still

• BA in English Philology
• International Grandmaster from 2013
fresh and had energy, as the tension
increased they started to lose control and
break down.
Going back to the unforced errors from
the beginning, we can see that they
weren’t exactly unforced. From a purely
chess perspective they were, as Kramnik,
for example, wasn’t forced to blunder
on move 7 against Karjakin, but he was
“forced” in another way - he was forced
by the pressure he put on himself, the
burden of the rôle of the favourite, the
importance* * the event had for him. The
same was for Aronian, Svidler, Topalov,
Mamedyarov. Anand didn’t hâve any of
those problems. That’s why he won.
Botvinnik was 49 when he lost
convincingly to 23-year old Tal in 1960.
Tal was “a genius” and Botvinnik was
written off after the match as “too old”.
The whole world was expecting the new
and young king to rule for many years
ahead. We ail know what happened only
one year later and the situation certainly
does Sound familiar. Anand is 5 years
younger than the Patriarch and the rematch
will definitely be more interesting and
hard-fought - and if history is considered,
anything is possible!

TOPALOV 2785
Khonty-Mansiysk (et) (9) 2014
Anand had a promising position in the
middlegame, but by this point he had given
away most of his advantage, only retaining a
nominal edge. White’s bishop is better, he has
more space and Black has a weakness on e6, still
it’s very hard to break down Black’s position if
he adopts passive defence. However, Topalov,
true to his instincts, reacts aggressively...
Vishy Anand just keeps on keepmg on
31...h6?? From the human point of view,
the wish to clarify things and avoid passive
defence is very understandable. But in this
case it’s a big mistake.
[Black should hâve been patient and continued
with 31...Ae4 32.h5 g6 when, despite his
space advantage, it’s hardly possible for
White to break through. In the game Anand
was winning after...]
32.gh6 gh6 33.®g4 <à>f7 34.h5 Àe4 35.a5

[A major point is that 36...Af5 37.®f4 Wg5

a white pawn queens first. Furthermore, the
e6-pawn needs protection, and 36...®d7 37

1 : 0 Nielsen, Cmilyté
After this game there was spéculation in the
chess media, whether the fate of the first place
was already decided. Clearly, with 5 rounds to
go, it was still much too early for that. However,
the next few rounds didn’t bring big changes at
the top. Incidentally, the 11 th round was the only
time that ail four games fmished in a draw, but
that was not for lack of fighting spirit. That raises
a question whether the problem of draws in top
chess is perhaps over exaggerated. It seems that
as long as the players find the lure of Ist place
sufficiently motivating, as in the case of the
Candidates’or lucrative knock-out toumaments,
and as soon as rating considérations become
secondary, there is plenty of exciting struggle in
each and every game.
In the 12th round Vishy played what could
hâve been his best game in the toumament,
and he came very close to sealing the deal in
the fight for overall victory.

Up to this point the players were following
the 2nd game from the Anand - Carlsen World

played, but now Vishy deviates.

Computers indicate that Black should be doing

preferred White’s chances, since Black’s logical

pressure on c6, the typical ...b5 is also unrealistic.
57
Nielsen, Cmilyté
19...a3 2O.b3 Àb4 21.ge3 c5?! Probably,
Andreikin should hâve played a more waiting
kind of game with 21....Sfe8, as in what
follows White s d5-pawn tums out to be much
more of an asset than a weakness.

31.h5! Keeping the attack going at full speed,
and while Black seems to be slightly ahead, the
important différence is that the second player
does not hâve the forces to break through,
whereas White’s attack is already unstoppable.
31...cb3 32.Eb3 £ùa4!? A very clever attempt
at complicating matters. Instead of just quietly
allowing the white attack to break through,
Andreikin sacrifices a piece in exchange for
some practical chances.
33.hg6 fg6 34.Sb4 Ôc3+ 35.<à>c2 b5!
Another great practical decision. [After

Anand to play, but now précision is required.]
36.<à>b3 [The computer correctly indicates
36.gc4!? bc4 37.<à>c3 Wa5+ 38.&c4 as just

not feel comfortable taking his king for such
a walk.]

39.<à>b3 £ùc5+ 40.<à>c2 £ùa4+
Having passed move 40, Anand here thought
for a while and then decided to repeat the
position and thus accept a draw.
41.<à>b3 Engines indicate that the position is
winning for White in two ways.
[41.Bc4!? was probably the better of the two
winning lines, as after 41 ...bc4 42. Aa3 the white
king is safe and the threat of Ae7 unstoppable.
Despite White being temporarily material
down, Black has no reasonable defence. 41.^d2
®d6+ 42.£ùd3 also should win. Even though
58
Nielsen, Cmilyté
the white king looks uncomfortable, Black has
no convincing way of keeping up his threats.]
1/2:1/2 Nielsen, Cmilyté
A lot has been said about the draw agreement
here. It was especially crticised in the chess
related social media. For many spectators it was
hard not to feel disappointed on Anand’s behalf
as he played such a great game, made a number
of strong and accurate decisions and just when it
seemed that he only needed to make a few more
accurate moves, he settled for a draw. From a
purely chess point of view it’s obvions Anand
should hâve played on. However, it is only easy
to criticize the decision after seeing a not-at-all
trivial win that the engines suggest. It’s clear that
tiredness and the pressure of the tournament were
also important factors at this point. In fact, it takes
a lot of courage and expérience to make a practical
decision in a situation where a win could just give
you the prize. Indeed, losing control in a game like
that is a much bigger sin than failing to win it.
And so it was up to Sergei Kaijakin in the
penultimate round to stop Anand.

KARJAKIN 2766
ANAND 2770
Khanty-Monsiysk (et) (13) 2014
Kaijakin was 1 !6 points behind Anand at this
point, and if he won he would still be half a
point behind, but with a better tiebreak due
to the individual results between them. In
that case, Anand’s lead would indeed be the
slimmest possible, and we would hâve been
up for a very exciting last round.
Here Karjakin probably should hâve kept
the position more fluid, hoping to regroup
his knight to d3, attacking e5, or pushing
through f4 under favourable circumstances.
Instead he chose to clarify the structure,
believing the weakness on g5 would lead to
Anand’s downfall.

ÎHE NEW GLADIATORS
Européen Individual Chess Championship 2014
If you ever ask yourself, “What is the world’s strongest open
tournament?”, then the correct answer must surely be: “The European
Individual Chess Championship!” And last March, in Yerevan, the capital
of Armenia, 259 players competed in this very event for 23 tickets that
would secure a place in the World Cup, the next stage in the World
Championship cycle.
An 11 round Swiss System is a gladiator-like contest, just take a look
at the facts: 122 participants were rated above 2500, 155 above 2400.
Strong grandmasters play each other from Round 2 onwards and, as last
year’s winner Alexander Moiseenko pointed out in his column in Chess
Informant 118, if you run into an early sériés of draws you might lose
any chance for a comeback in the later stages. So, without any question,
it’s a fight, a bloody fïght... We need only mention the fact that the No.l
seed, Etienne Bacrot, fïnished the tournament in 57th place!
The newly crowned
European champion is 34-
year-old Alexander Motylev
from Russia. He started with
a draw in round 1, but then
had an incredible streak of
5 consecutive wins, making
him the sole leader after 6
rounds. From that moment,
not only was his lead in
the tournament undisputed,
but two more pluses in the
remaining rounds opened up
a gap of a full point between
himself and the runners-up.
Alexander made ail his 4
draws with the black pièces
and against his lowest-rated (2380) and highest rated (2713, 2712 and
2700) opponents! A fully deserved win for a player better known as
Sergey Karjakin’s trusty second.
An outstanding performance was produced by 19-year old David Anton
Guijarro from Spain, who eventually won the silver medal. He did lose two
games, but, like the champion himself, managed to finish the tournament
with 7 wins! The young lion’s resuit was a great surprise, bearing in mind
that he had started the tournament as a virtually unknown 99* seed.
Since eight players shared 2nd-9th places, the tie-break, determined by
average performance rating, decided the bronze medal in favour of
Russian grandmaster Vladimir Fedoseev, just ahead of Chess Informant’s
regular contributor Dragan Solak from Turkey.

A trademark opening of Alexander Riazantsev,

This is, of course, a very well known System,

lost a tempo, but it’s not so easy because now
the usual reaction by White of e4-e5 doesn’t
make any sense.
9.a3 Jla5 10.g5 &fd7 ll.d4!
I think this strong move provides a slight
advantage to White. Otherwise Black would
hâve exchanged the dark-square bishops by
playing 11...d4.

destroy White’s pawn centre.
[While Alexander fell into deep thought, I was
thinking how to react to 12...c5! Then 13.ed5
looks more or less forced, and after 13...cd4
White has a wide choice.
The most natural and strong is 14.£ùe4 but
White has to foresee the £rf6! resource after
14...ed5, i.e. 15.&f6! gf6 16.Àa5 ®a5 17.Àd3
Se8 18.®h5î (or 18.gf6).
Altematively, 14.£ùe2 (14.de6 de3 looks bad)
Ad2 15.Sd2 e5 16.h4 £ùb6 is unclear; while
62
Motylev
Houdini suggests the cold-blooded 14.£ùbl and
after 14... Jld2 15.£ùd2 there is a transposition
into the 4be4 line which, after 15...ed5 16.®d5
&c6 17.W £ùde5 18.®d8 Sad8, leads to a
slight plus for White in the endgame.]
13.de5! d4 14.£ùe2 Àd2 15.Sd2 ®g5
This is ail more or less forced.
[Black could hâve tried 15...c5!? but it is
unlikely that any human would allow White
such strong pawns. White is better after both
16.Wb3 Wg5 17.f4 and 16.®g3 £ùc6 17.f4]
16.£ùd4! [It would hâve been a mistake to
play lô.Sgl in view of 16...£ùe5! I was quite
happy to hâve such a pleasant position and
also 50 minutes on the clock more than my
opponent. Ail the previous moves were quite
natural for White so I could really play them
automatically.]
16...®e5 A difficult decision.
[Black’s main problem is that, after 16...£ùe5,
very strong is 17.®f5! ®e7 (The endgame
after 18.Q\f5 g6 19.Q\d6 is just
terrible for Black, mainly because of the
knight on b8) 18.f4±]
17.£ùf5 W6 My Houdini 4 considers this
position simply winning for White with
almost any move - Ac4, ®e3, Sgi. I hâve
no reason not to trust it here, but sometimes
its évaluations seem a bit over-optimistic.
18.Wg2? I hit upon an idea of transferring my
queen to g5 and am following it.
18...g6 19.Wg5
19...Se8?
It is very tempting, of course, to make more
room for the black king and exert pressure on
the e4-pawn.
[But far more important was to get the knight
on b8 into play by 19...£ùbd7! Though White
is better after 20. Ag2 the game goes on. On
the other hand 2O.Wh6?? simply loses to
2O...^e4!]
20.13!
I spent 40 minutes before I found this very
strong and probably just winning move.
Other tempting continuations offer White
nothing.
[For example, 2O.Sd8?! Ôbd7; 20.®h6??
£ùe4; 2O.f4? £ùe4; 2O.Àc4? &e4]
20...<à>h8 21.Sgi £ùg8
[Also totally hopeless was 21...£ùbd7 22.Ac4
Sf8 23.Àa2+-]
22.&d6!? Wg5 23.Sg5 Se7
There are many ways leading to the win, but
White finishes nicely.
24.Se5! Sc7

It was the last round. A draw would hâve been
enough for me to qualify for the World Cup 2015,
but I had “bad luck” with the pairings, since my
opponent, the ever aggressive Baadur Jobava,
had to win this game. I knew it was going to be a
“fight to the death”, so I forgot ail about a draw
being a positive resuit and proceeded to play the
best chess I could under the circumstances.

BARTEL 2662
Yerevan (7) 2014
Here is a game from the 701 round of the European
Individual Championship in Yerevan. I had played
Mateusz Bartel three times before, scoring only
two draws. Although he is not really noted for
his opening préparation, every time we met 1 had
some sort of a problem in the opening.

Title: Grandmaster since 2001
I used to think this move was really bad. I just
couldn’t understand the point of it.
[Black now wants to capture, 8...cd4, and after
9.£ùd4 £ùd410. Wd4 Ac5 he will hâve an excellent
position. But I thought White had several really
useful moves, like 8.a3, 8.ÇÊ?f2 or 8.JLe3 that
would neutralize Black’s naive threat.
In my first game I played 8.a3 here, realizing
immediately that my move was a mistake. In
that case Black should capture, 8...£ùd4, with
a very good position.
Next time I faced this variation was in
the finals of a knockout tournament in
Switzerland. It was a rapid tournament,
but in case of a draw, a blitz game would
be played with reversed colours. In our
66
Solak
first game, where he had the white pièces,
my opponent, Viktor the Terrible, mixed
up the move order in the opening and
ended up defending a very bad position.
I remember thinking for a long time that
his position would fall apart on the very
next move, but after tenacious defence, he
managed to survive. Well, I wasn’t really
upset. The next game was a 5 minute blitz
with no incrément, I had White and I was
pretty confident my 71-year-old opponent
wouldn’t stand a chance.
I played the logical 8.&f2 (in this variation the
king often goes for a walk to g2 even without
being forced). Then, after 8...b5 9 g3 b4, Black
was already better and in the end I got wiped
off the board in 30 moves, as well as losing on
time; in fact at the moment I resigned, Korchnoi
still had 4 minutes on his clock. Obviously, I
decided not to play 8. <à>f2 ever again...]
8.Àe3 [So, to repeat: 8.a3 £ùd4! 9.£ùd4 cd4
10.b4 Wc7 is defmitely nothing for White,
just like 8.çè?f2 b5 9.g3 b4+. Nor do I like
developing my knight to e2 before playing
my bishop to d3; then Black replies 8...b5o°.
But 8.dc5 is an interesting try. White exploits
the fact that Black has to recapture with the
queen because of the fork on b4. I am not
sure about the évaluation of the position after
8...®c5 9.Ad3, but let’s just say that it is a
way to try to fight for an advantage.]
8...®b6 Already here I spent a great deal of
time. I was uncertain whether to put my queen
on c2 or d2.1 am still uncertain.
[8...b5 A. Istratescu 2575 - Rodriguez
Herreros 2310, Linares 1998 - 72/(276); 8...f6
A. Istratescu 2575 - Del Rio de Angelis 2395,
Cappelle la Grande 1998 - 72/276]
9.®d2 Ae7 10. Ad3 Now if I manage to play
€ùe2, I will hâve a huge advantage. Black’s
manoeuvre would end up being nothing more
than a loss of time. Of course, Mateusz doesn’t
give me that chance.
10...cd4 1 Wd4 &d4 12.Àd4 £ùc5 I need to
keep my bishop.
[In case of 13.Abl, 13...®a6 was bothering
me. Of course, the perfect square would be
c2, but unfortunately b2 is unprotected for the
moment. I wasn’t happy about retuming to
e2, but not being able to find a better option,
I went for it.]
13.Ae2 Ad7 Bartel is in no hurry to get out
of the pin.
14.^13 [Black still can’t play ... Ab5 because
of b4, so it is logical to develop the knight.
Having consumed too much time in the
opening, I was tempted to enter (so it seemed
to me) an endgame that was almost risk free
by 14.b4 £ùe4 15.Àb6 £ùd2 16.&d2 ab6
17.£rf3=. My king will go to b2, if necessary,
to cover the queen side weaknesses. Black
will probably castle, push ...f7-f6 and try to
bring his bishop to g6 or h5.]
14...0-0
15.® c2 [15.b4 was still an option, with the
same, roughly equal, endgame. Castling doesn’t
work that well. I decided to move away my
queen so that b4 would become a threat. I also
thought £ùg5 would sometimes be interesting
for White. If Black défends with g6, then I will
launch a strong attack with the help of h4! And
if Black takes ...Ag5, after fg5 I can try to
build up a slow king side attack, as the bishop
on d4 would keep the centre and the queen side
locked for a great many moves.
Because of the weakness on c3 and the
possible ...f7-f6 and ...g7-g5 pawn breaks, I
thought the endgame after 15.0-0 Ab5 16.b4
5ùe4 17.Àb6 £ùd2 18.Àb5 &f3 19.gf3 ab6
would be rather more pleasant for Black.]
15...®c7 I remember feeling quite happy
about this move, as I was expecting 15...a5.
67
Solak
But Bartel’s move was probably stronger.
[15...a5 16.&g5 g6 (76...Àg5 17,fg5±)
17.h4± Although engines don’t find anything
wrong with Black’s position, it is not easy to
deal with h5, f5, £ùh7, and similar ideas, and
calculate them on every move.]
16.0-0 [Now somehow 16.£ùg5 doesn’t work,
thanks to the black queen on c7.1 am obviously
not ready for 16... Ag5 17.fg5 £ùe4 18.h4 f6 with
my king still in the centre and, in the best case
scénario, just enough resources for a draw.]
16...f5 Programs don’t like this move,
but I think it is the right way to continue.
There is no immédiate danger for Black
if he just waits, but White will slowly
build an attack on the king side, either by
advancing his pawns or by jumping to g5
at an appropriate moment.
17.ef6 I hâve to take on f6, otherwise Black
will be absolutely safe. He might préparé
...g7-g5 by playing ...<à>h8, ...Sg8 and ...4ùe4.
17...gf6
g3 and weaken the light squares around my
king. After 2O.Ae4 his position looks a bit
shaky at first glance, but after more careful
examination I realised it was good for Black.
2O.g3 I wasn’t too happy about moving my
last important pawn to a dark square, but I
saw nothing better.
[I was also really afraid of the possibility of
20...e5, especially bearing in mind that I was
low on time, whereas Bartel had more than an
hour on his clock. After 2O.Ae4 de4 21,®e4
Af4 I wouldn’t hâve any tactical chances and
the position is okay for Black.]
2O...Ac6 Mateusz décidés to sacrifice a
pawn. The idea is interesting, but somehow
the knight on f3 keeps the long white diagonal
closed and there is not much that Black can
really do. After his move White is better. This
is also the first mistake in the game, after
many good moves on both sides.
[Luckily for me, the central pawn advance,
2O...e5, is not that great. I would hâve replied
21.Wb3 and, to be honest, during the game
this is where my analysis ended.
Now the position has changed a lot and I
didn’t hâve too much time to think about
the new situation. My idea was to provoke
...f6-f5. Then I can trade my light square
bishop for his knight on e4, jump to e5 and
try to transfer my rook to g3 via e3. My
pawn on b4 is quite useful, taking the c5
square under control.
18.b4 £ùe4 19. Ad3 Ad6 Good play. Mateusz
postpones ...f6-f5. He tries to force me to play
68
Solak
I thought Black would hâve to try
21...<èg7 and it looked dangerous for him.
I didn’t hâve enough time to look deeper.
Computers, however, indicate the following
forced line:
21...<à>g7 (21...ed4 is possible, but it is
obviously not dangerous for White and is at
least unpleasant for Black. The game could
go on like this: 22.WJ5 &h8 23^e4 kh3
24.fod4 ^ae8 25.W £fl 26<&fl ^c3
27&dl 28.^el W 29.^g2 kb4,

£c7 31.SF8 SfB 32.®e7 gfô 33.®g7 Sg6
34.Wc7 dc3 35.®c3 <à>f4 36.<à>f2 gg2
37.<à>el and I guess White should win, but
still cannot be 100% sure. This long variation
is actually critical for the évaluation of 20...
e5 and programs see it with ease. Mortal
humans like myself stop at 21. Wb3 with
some fuzzy évaluation...
The right way to play was 20...a5, which
is simple and logical. I cannot react by
protecting my pawn with 21.a3. After the
rooks are exchanged, Black will be able
to carry out ...e6-e5 with an excellent
position. In case of 21.b5, Black gains
the very important c5 square. My idea
was to take on e4 twice, but I missed an
important move in that variation (and it
is quite possible that Mateusz missed the
same thing).
After 2O...a5! 21.Ae4 de4 22.We4 ab4
23.cb4 I would hâve reached the position
I was aiming for. I saw 23... Jlb4 was bad
in view of 24. Jlf6, but instead Black has
23...fÿc6!°° and if I want to hold on to my
extra pawn, I will hâve to exchange queens.
Then it is easy to appreciate that Black has
absolutely nothing to worry about with his
powerful bishop on c6/d5.]
21.b5 Àd7 22.£e4 de4 23.We4 gae8
24,a4 b6
After some logical moves, Bartel plans to
transfer his bishop to b7.
25.Hadl Àc8
26.®c6 I hâve to admit that I had several
better moves. In fact this was my First and only
mistake in the game. I thought I would hâve
some chances to play for a win in this endgame,
but already on the next move I changed my
mind. Another reason was that I saw a nice
trap and I thought there was a slight chance
Mateusz would fall for it. Although, of course,
a fantastic player, he is sometimes a bit hasty.
26...®c6 [My idea was to meet 26...Ab7 with
27.Ab6!±. The tactics work in my favour and
I get a clean advantage and a position that is
easy to play.]
27.bc6 Ac7 Here I knew that my position
wasn’t better. In my dreams I would love to
see my knight on b5, but once I move away
my bishop from d4, Bartel can push ...e7-e5.
28.Àe3
28...Sd8? An inexplicable mistake. Now my
knight gets to d4 and Black is in big trouble.
69
Solak
[Chances are probably around equal after 28...
e5 29.fe5 fe5 3O.£ùg5. This position may be
difficult to evaluate, but it is definitely better
than what happened in the game.]
29.Sd8 It was also possible to jump to d4
straight away, but as I couldn’t see clearly
which move was better, I decided to exchange
a pair of rooks. Since I had much less time, I
chose the position that was easier to calculate.
29...Sd8 3O.£ùd4 Sd6 [It was still possible
to resist with 30...a6, although White has
a huge advantage, for example: 30...a6
31.f5! ef5 (31...e5 32&e6 keô 33,fe6 <&g7
34.^g5!+-) 32.Sbl±. Mateusz prefers the
tactical way, but unfortunately for him I had
just enough time to calculate the forced win.]
31.15! I realised I would need the d5 square for
my knight a few moves later. Now Black is lost.
[31.£ùb5 is the most natural attempt, but it
doesn’t lead to a forced win. After 31...Sc6
32.&a7 Sc3 33.£ùc8 ge3 34.gcl Àd8 35.gdl
Ac7 36.Sd7 Sc3 White has different tries, but
Black might still be able to save the game.]

CHESS IN A FOOTBALL PARADISE
A few months before the World Cup, the World Chess
Champion goes on tour in Brazil
People often ask me what it’s like to be a chessplayer in Brazil. After ail, my
country is known as a paradise for football with great players and clubs
generating a lot of money and media coverage. But what about chess? So, in
this article I want to share some recent highlights from chess activities taking
place in Brazil and show you, with the help of a short historical rétrospective,
how much passion we hâve for the game. I would like you to feel the typical
Brazilian sports mentality for yourself.
Of course Brazil is currently in the news everywhere, be it for good or bad
reasons. I am writing this a month before football teams from ail over the
world arrive in my country. Everybody is crazy about the forthcoming World
Cup - and let’s not also forget that Rio will host the Olympiad in 2016. It looks
like Brazil will be the focus of sporting attention for quite a while to corne and
it is just a pity that we hâve a tendency to be in no hurry to get things done!
Brazilians leave everything until the last minute and so unfmished airports,
installations, highways and stadiums are a common sight. Even chessplayers
are afflicted with this typical Brazilian characteristic. How often I hâve
completed my tournament préparations at one minute to midnight! I guess we
just cannot escape from our home grown héritage...

Chess has also had its rôle to play in the current “Brazilian boom”. In March
2014, no less a sporting super-star than the reigning world chess champion
Magnus Carlsen travelled thousands of miles to visit our country and take part
in a big chess festival in Caxias do Sul, a city in the south of Brazil.
This was a historical event for a number of reasons. At the start, the charismatic
young Norwegian gave lectures, played simultaneous exhibitions, engaged in
blindfold play and participated in a rapid knock-out tournament against some of the
best players in South America. But the most incredible thing was his willingness
to play in an open rapid tournament. I am no expert on chess facts and figures, but
I can’t recall a single open tournament in which a reigning world champion had
previously taken part. Magnus’ energy seems to be boundless. He even managed to
play a good game in a round commencing at 8 o’clock in the momingü
So let’s take a look at his best games from the Brazilian tour.

Caxias do Sul (rapid/15) 2014
It is really a spécial feeling to play against
a reigning world champion. Of course it can
also be rather daunting, especially if you are
not used to being granted such a privilège!
Unfortunately, my play suffered for this very
reason. We happened to play in the First round
and the time control was 15 minutes.

I only found one previous game with this move.
The two alternative bishop moves, 9...Ad6
and 9...Ae7, are more often chosen. But the
great chess players always hâve their own
ways of doing things. [9...Ae7 Polugaevsky -

I believe the following game was the best
one by the world champion in Brazil. This
suits his style very well: no forcing theory, an
apparently dull position with no advantage,
but after some practical play and good clock
handling, little by little he increased the
pressure until his opponent cracked.

After ail these typical Italian moves Black has
equalised completely. Usually what happens
here is that White will apply some pressure on
the e5 pawn, so that Black is forced to décidé
what to do with the central tension - the situation
will probably be clarified with ...de4. After that
we hâve a symmetrical position with only one
open file. It is generally very hard for either side
to do anything, so a draw is a fair resuit.

[Therefore 29...gdl 3O.Wdl f6! 31.h4 ®e8

3O.h4! White’s little pawn moves make a
big impression. The text move is a subtle and
thematic device that we can leam from. Black
should be careful now. As often happens, in such
technical positions the game is still defensible,
but any mistake might cost the game.

Overall it was just incredible to hâve the World

But this problem affects not only chess but ail

GREAT MOMENTS FROM THE PAST
Nowadays Brazil is struggling to get a player in the top 100. The
only one close to achieving this is the author of these lines. But it
was not always like that. In the 70’s, we had a super-star player,
who won two Interzonals and was even ranked number 3 in the
world for a while. Henrique Mecking ended up losing two tough
Candidates Matches (one against Polugajevsky and the other
against Korchnoi). Nevertheless he has always been our national
chess hero. As a child I used to play over the best games of this
great player. Unfortunately, he had to retire for many years due
to illness. In the 90’s he slowly started playing again and is still
a very strong GM, participating mainly in team championships. I
consider the following game his best ever.

I want to finish this nostalgie chess journey
on a personal note. I would like to think
that by being Brazil’s only ever world chess
champion (U 12 in 1991 and U18 in 1996),
I hâve made my contribution, even if it is a
modest one, to popularize our beloved game
among kids. As a fervent football fan (as
nearly every Brazilian), I dreamed as a child
how it would be to score a goal for my team
in a World Cup.
The next game is, I think, the closest I will
ever get to such a feeling. Still, it is good
enough for me...

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
A king hunt is perhaps the most exciting aspect of
attacking play
An attacking side usually sacrifices a lot of material to force the opponent’s
king to “take a walk” and the moment it has been dragged out into the open,
the conséquences are usually impossible to calculate. Most of the time, apart
from the chase itself, the attacker will hâve other options at his disposai, which
implies that the decision to sacrifice is based on belief, intuition, instinct...
The defending side normally does not hâve a choice, other than to accept the
opponent’s sacrifice, run with the king and ... hope for the best!
It is not easy to corne up with a set of rules to help players identify the
prerequisites for a successful king hunt in practical play. This is because most
of the time a king hunt is the product of unexpected and wild tactics, which are
often of a non-standard nature. However, there are a few éléments which may
serve as guidelines. So I will pinpoint these and relate them to the selected
games that follow.
84
Sokolov
• The lack of protective pawns
It goes without saying that it is easier to chase an exposed king which has no
pawn cover. In our illustrative examples, these défensive pawns either had to
be physically removed or else the king had to be chased far away from them
and into the open.
• The ratio of risk reward to material investment
In Salem AR Saleh - Ivanisevic we do hâve a massive material investment
by the attacker (a full queen!), but in other games, such as Sokolov - Howell,
the investment is minimal, thus making it easier for the attacker to make
bold decisions.
• The number of attackers in proportion to defenders
An exposed king with no defenders usually results in a mate! In Nepomniatchi
- Svidler, it is truly amazing that Black’s lone and unprotected king was able
to walk ail over the board without getting mated!
In Sokolov - Ivanchuk and Amin - Vera, the strolling king was able to
escape because the attacker did not hâve a superiority in number of fighting
forces. I remember making a crucial mistake in my game against Ivanchuk,
because I actually allowed his king to walk around the centre, instead of
stopping it with a timely JLc4+. I did not see an attacking continuation and,
though I was telling myself that I simply did not hâve enough attackers
to take advantage of my opponent’s king in the centre, I was nevertheless
completely carried away by the illusion that there must be “something” in
the position. Naturally there wasn’t... so I resigned a few moves later.
In Salem AR Saleh - Ivanisevic, White sacrificed a whole queen, even
though the black king had some defenders around. A mating net woven by the
attacking forces led to lines of rare beauty and showed that an overwhelming
number of attackers is not always needed for an attack to succeed.
For an attacker to corne to the decision to sacrifice for a king hunt, “conviction”
is needed, since most of the time it is impossible to make précisé calculations
from beginning to end. And unexpected tactics that crop up along the way
usually support this conviction, as these tactics usually favour the attacker!

THE BEST CLUB COMPETITION IN THE WORLD
Baden dominate the Bundesliga - the German
Club Championship
By Harald Fietz
It was no surprise that for the 9th time in a row OSG Baden-
Baden took the German club championship - the Bundesliga.
Baden Baden, famous for its spa, is located near the French border
in the south-west of Germany, and its chess club occupies a central
position in the city, close to two art muséums, the theatre and the
casino. With its world class players and strength in depth (Baden
Baden’s board 8 had an Elo of 2699 while its reserve players
down to board 16 were still rated over 2600), no other team could
threaten its supremacy. In the end, the only remaining challenge
was to win ail 15 matches, which they indeed achieved by scoring
88/2 points from 120 games, giving them a lead of 6 match points
and 17 board points over their nearest rival SV Muelheim Nord.
Out of 120 individual games Baden Baden lost only 5!
Ever since the création of the Bundesliga
in 1980/81 there hâve been teams which
dominated the league. However, in
the 1980s and 1990s the fight for the
championship was often a race between
two or three teams, namely Bayern
Munich, the chess branch of the famous
soccer club (9 times champion), Cologne-
based SG Porz (8 times champion) and
SG Solingen (4 times champion). At the
beginning of the 21st century Luebeck
SV obtained short-term sponsorship
from the over-optimistic software
industry and won 3 championships,
while in 2005 SV Werder Bremen,
another branch of a famous soccer club,
won a championship tie-break match
against SG Porz. Then times changed
dramatically when sponsor Wolfgang
Grenke, the owner of a publicly listed
company in the leasing and banking
sector, began filling his Baden-Baden
squad with more and more super-stars
- and their individual scores this season
show very clearly why the team remains
so dominant.

The last named in the list is a 20 year old woman player, with a rating of 2183,
who was German U18 champion two years ago and grew up in a small town near
Baden-Baden.
It was estimated that the total cost of the 16
teams amounted to roughly 1 million euros,
of which Baden-Baden’s contribution
alone came to roughly 200,000 euros. Not
everybody likes this situation and SG Porz
withdrew its team in 2007 and since then
has won the second Bundesliga group (there
are four such leagues in Germany) year
after year without claiming their right to
promotion. Other teams hâve experienced
dwindling support from sponsors, such as
Solingen’s Egon Evertz who, for nearly
50 years, donated money for both his team
and also international events (e.g. the
famous Solingen grandmaster tournament
in 1974!). Werder Bremen aimed to be
German No. 2 for some time and had top
players like Gashimov among its ranks,
but nowadays it prefers a mixed line-up
with a few grandmasters and the inclusion
of younger players. Some clubs hâve
spécial international ties (for example,
Eppingen has 5 Hungarian GMs on its top
13 team list and Griesheim has 6 GMs or
IMs from Poland among its top 9 players).
Most clubs look for a balance between
international and German players, like
Berlin or Hamburger SK 1830, the oldest
and largest club in Germany with 550
members and, together with Solingen,
the only team which has played in the
league since 1980. However, there are
other concepts as well: Turm Emstetten,
the team that Informant’s contributor GM
Alexander Ipatov plays for, has young and
upcoming players from 8 nations among
its 16 players, whereas SK Koenig Tegel,
based in the northern district of Berlin,
has filled its team exclusively with players
who live in their city!
As the table reveals, the league is more or
less a four-class System with Baden-Baden
as front runner (the team won last season
also with 15 match wins and only lost their
last match in the 2009/10 season) and a
group of four teams fought for 2 places in
European Cup. The rest played in “no-man’s
land” and 5 teams fought for one place in
order to avoid relegation. However, as SV
Six weekenders a season
Alongside the Russian league, the
Bundesliga is still the best club
compétition in the world, but the
financial crisis and withdrawal of private
sponsors has changed the face of it over
the last decade. Since 2007 the league
has been organised as a non-profit
organisation and members (also new
teams) hâve to fulfîll certain conditions
in order to create a “brand”. One of
the obligations is compulsory internet
coverage, costing a few thousand euros,
and another is payment of an “entry
fee” to finance the webpage and a
freelance writer. The league takes place
over 6 weekends with a double round of
four teams at each of four nationwide
venues, followed by three final rounds
at the end of the season.

Wattenscheid withdrew its team because
of financial reasons, even Bayem Munich
will remain in the Bundesliga. The once
mighty team lost its support in the mid-
90’s when the team coach was involved
in a huge fraud scandai (and a number of
players lost their incomes and savings).
Having a négative image is always a bad
sign and Franz Beckenbauer, the famous
former soccer international, was part of
the driving force to drastically reduce the
funding of the “woodpushers”. Nowadays
Bayern Munich is mainly an amateur team
consisting of players from Bavaria and, like
most teams, aims to play some good chess
in the shadowy zone behind Baden-Baden.
It seems that not much will change next
year and it is a safe bet that the dominant
team will set a record by winning its 10*
title in a row.

HAVE NO FEAR
GM Alexander Ipatov
YOUNG AND HUNGRY
A view through the window of my Bundesliga team
Ihave been playing in the German Bundesliga for three seasons.
My team is SK Turm Emsdetten, an ambitious chess club which
mainly focuses on inviting young players to represent it, thereby
giving them the opportunity to gain expérience against strong
opponents. The club is located in the small town of Emsdetten, near
Munster. If l’m not mistaken, Emsdetten has one of the youngest line-
ups in the entire Bundesliga: Anish Giri (who is also the youngest
player ever to compete in the Bundesliga at the âge of 14!), Daniil
Dubov, Dariusz Swiercz, Nils Grandelius, Mustafa Yilmaz, Wouter
Spoelman, Burg Twan, the author of these lines, and others. When
we were invited to play for the team we were rated around 2450-
2500, now almost everyone is above 2600 or at least quite close
to it. A major rôle in our progress has been played by the club’s
management: they made a wise investment, now they are reaping
their rewards. What I really like about my club is its very friendly
atmosphère. The players joke and poke fun at each other, especially
during team dinners on Saturday evenings. Whenever I corne to a
Bundesliga weekend, I feel happy to see my team-mates again and
to play good chess at professionally run venues.
Let me first say a few words about the organization of the league.
Ail boards are broadcast live, food and drinks are free for the
participants and sometimes for the visitors as well (at least, in
Emsdetten!), there are live commentary rooms for the amateurs and
many other benefits, which make the Bundesliga one of the most
prestigious chess leagues in the whole world. Another like-minded
chess league is that of Turkey. Perhaps one day I will be able to write
about that too?
l’ve selected four games for this article played by the Emsdetteners
during the last season. The two games of Anish Giri are fine examples
of how to play simple or technical positions; while the games of
Mikhail Mchedlishvili and myself show the advantage of a bishop
pair. No head-spinning attacks or cascades of sacrifices this time.
Sorry, dear readers!

In this game, our First board, Anish Giri, is
facing the Ukrainian Alexander Belezky from
the FC Bayem Munich team. It deals with an
advantage in space, the superiority of a bishop
against knight in an open position, and the
création of a secondary weakness. I will not
pay detailed attention to the opening stage, as
that is not the reason I chose this game.

purpose.
23.h4! Anish is a top class player and knows
very well how to handle simple positions. He
understands that his control of the e-file and
more active pièces are not enough, so he aims
to create a second weakness on the kingside
to enable him to combine multiple threats and
provoke Black into a mistake.
23...<à>h8 24.h5 h6 Black is obliged to
weaken the complex of light squares, which
is just perfect for White as he owns a light
squared bishop! We can see a great différence
between the black knight and white bishop:
the black knight has to stay on f6 covering
the h7-square, while the white bishop is
absolutely free to manoeuvre.

Anish’s conduct of this game reminds me
of the style of Alexander Alekhine: playing

defence, creating a second weakness, then ...
crushing the opponent! We hâve seen varions
tactical éléments which worked precisely
because White had achieved positional
dominance. In such cases, sixth sense tells a
player that something good must corne up.

bringing the king doser to the centre, then
advancing his pawns without allowing Black
to generate counterplay against them. White
can carry out his plan in his own good time as
ail Black can do is to mark time and wait.
In next 43(!) moves, Anish follows a very
important endgame principle: “Do not rush”.
This means that the side with the advantage
should conceal his plans by slow manoeuvring
and only launch active operations when the
opponent is so relaxed that he no longer
suspects any danger.
This already looks like an improvement of
his position. Black, lulled into a false sense of
security, has allowed White to make progress:
Black’s rook can’t move, as then gc6-c7-f7
would décidé; his knight’s activity is also
limited, while his king can’t go to e7 because
of £ùc8+.
... 86...<à>g7 87.gc8 £ùf6 88.g3
A precautionary pawn move so as not to get

Anish has brought his king back to defend the

from his material disadvantage, of course) is that
his rook is so short of squares that it will soon
run out of moves. Therefore, we will see another

Sometimes amateur players ask why
they should leam certain endgames with
unbalanced material as such situations occur
rarely. Professionals know different and we
can assume that Anish Giri was fully aware of
the following endgame which took place two
months before his Bundesliga game against
Kraemer. As Alexander Ipatov’s contribution
arrived early we were able to show it to
our new columnist, Karsten Mueller, so
that he could delve further into the matter.
And when he looked at the Bundesliga
game, the Hamburg-based endgame expert
immediately recalled a game from the recent
Zürich tournament. So we see how coaches

when you are in possession of the bishop pair.
25...ab4 26. Jlb4 During the game I assumed
that White has very good practical chances of
winning. The main reason is that it is not easy
for Black to play this position, as he runs out
of any ideas of counterplay and has to keep on
defending passively.

should not allow Black’s rook to move to f5.

weakening the position (especially the light

3O.Scl Ail White’s pièces are perfectly
placed, so it is time for active play!
30...®d8 The drawback to this move is that
the rook will not be able to retreat and will be
stuck in the centre.

[But also after 3O...gd8 31 ,Àe7 gb8 32.®f5±
Black has virtually run out of useful moves.]
31.Hel By a constant changing of targets,
White waits for Black’s mistake. This is the
best strategy one can follow in such positions.
As mentioned above, the key to this kind of
position is that it is very unpleasant for the
inferior side to defend.
31...®b8 [31...ÀC5 32.Àc5 gc5 33.®b7±
and the extra pawn must tell.]
32.He7 As we can see, Black has significant
problems with his pawns on light squares.

33.®b3 I blew the chance for a nice shot:
33.Àe8!+ -, however the text move is also
winning.
33...®cl 34.Ac4 ®f4 In the hope that White
will blunder...

39...Agl?! Not taking his last chance of
39...Sd8. Of course, White’s position is still
winning, but at least Black would hâve more
pièces on the board.
4O.gd7 £ùd7 41.£d2+- White’s plan is
very simple: to exchange the dark-squared
bishops and approach the b6-pawn with
his king.
41...4ùc5 42.Ae8 <Ç^e6 It looks like Black has
managed to create a blockade on the dark
squares, but this is just an illusion.
43.Àe3
[43...JLh2 44.Àb6+~]
44.<à>d2 Now Black is forced to exchange the
bishops.
44...Ae3 45.<à>e3 White doesn’t care about
his kingside pawns; the b6-pawn and the
passed a-pawn is what really matters.

[47...W 48.<à>d5 <à>e7 49.<à>c6+ -]
48.h4! <à>f6 49.hg5 <à>g5 50.<à>e5
He cannot stop White from moving his king
up to the b6-pawn.
In this game we hâve seen that White’s
bishop pair covered most of the central
squares, while his rook and queen
combined to introduce threats of invasion,
which finally lead to winning material.
The key factor in such positions, as
mentioned earlier, is that a defending side
is confined to passive defence, which is
psychologically unpleasant and often leads
to pseudo-active moves which only serve
to worsen his position.

The reason for including the next game is
virtually the same as that for my game against
Bulski: to demonstrate the advantage of the
bishop pair in open positions, especially
in the endgame stage. My Georgian team
colleague GM Mikhail Mchedlishvili
faced Danish GM Sune Berg Hansen who
represents Hamburger SK 1830.

pair. Black saddles himself with an isolated

Black has succeeded in exchanging one of the
bishops, but it hasn’t made his task that much
easier. The position is still open and, according to
recognised chess principles, the bishop is almost
always superior to a knight in open positions.
Black has three pawn weaknesses (g6, e6,
b7) which is another reason why the bishop is
superior here: it can be moved from one side of
the board to the other in a single move, whereas
the knight needs more time to do this.

OLD WINE
IN NEW BOTTLES
GM Mihail Marin
EVERY NEW IDEA IS ACTUALLY A LONG FORGOTTEN ONE
THE CENTRAL PAWNS ATTACK
A systematic plan or just a matter of time and nuances?
An attack in the centre is much stronger than one on the wing. Moreover,
an attack on the wing should always be countered (and more often than
not refuted) by a counter-strike in the centre. How many times hâve we heard
these principles during our first years in chess?
But rules would not be rules if they were not open to exceptions; and as I
happened to find out recently, some of the most famous illustrative examples
for our chosen theme could well hâve served to prove that everything is relative,
had Black played better at the crucial moment.
For chess lovers from my country, Florin Gheorghiu’s victory over Bobby Fischer
represents one of the highest individual achievements of a Romanian player. The
legendary American champion was sometimes outplayed by more experienced
opponents, but this was a very rare case when he lost to a younger player!
By coincidence, Gheorghiu tumed 70 only a few weeks before I wrote these
fines, but this article is only partly a homage to him, more about that later.

The impact of this game on the era in which it
was played was big enough for Gligoric, in his
book on the Nimzo-Indian, to call this System
“The Gheorghiu variation”. White displays
early territorial ambitions in the spirit of the
Saemisch variation, into which the game may
eventually transpose.

their initial squares, with the exception of the
royal couple.
12...£ùg6 13.Àd3 £ùc6 14.£ùe2 Àe6 15.g5
In his famous book, How to beat Bobby Fischer,
Edmar Mednis stops here for a moment to
explain what he considers was Fischer’s
décisive mistake.
With his last move, Gheorghiu offered a draw,
which was somehow typical for his overcautious
nature but also a token of respect for his mighty
opponent. Fischer responded with something
like: “No, there is a lot of play ahead!” Mednis
considers that this is only partly true, since it
is just White who can play for a win, and that
Fischer’s refusai, though explicit and not without
a certain elegance, was actually rather suicidai.
Let us proceed further before judging who
was right.
15...Hc8 16.h5 17.g6 fg6 18.hg6 h6
19.Wbl £ùa5 2O.£tf4 c4 21.Àc2
Jumping ahead a bit, I will mention that this
is the moment when the structure becomes
typical for our main theme of discussion.
Black has blocked the centre with the obvious
aim of attacking on the queenside. The
drawback of this committal decision is that
the d4-pawn is no longer under pressure and
White can préparé e3-e4 at his leisure. The
conflict is clear: whose attack will be more
effective? Maybe the term “effective” is a
bit too abstract and requires some detailed
explanation. I would define it as a combination
of speed, impact on the pawn structure and
the enemy king’s safety, and the length of the
front line of attack.
21...gc6
The position is not ripe for a pawn attack
based on ...b5, ...a5 and ...b4. The a5-knight
is in the way and White will soon play a3-a4,
when his major pièces will hinder the advance
of the pawns.
Fischer correctly décidés to organize piece
pressure - not only on the queenside, but also
in the centre.
22.ga2 £ùd7 23.a4 £ùf6 24.Àa3 ®d7 25.gb2
b6 26.Sb5
Over the past few moves, both sides hâve
improved their positions. As his king is a
little vulnérable, White should make sure he
is perfectly coordinated before opening the
centre.
26..Æùb7?
An imperceptible, therefore excusable,
mistake but one that is nonetheless truly

Marin
décisive! Fischer plans ...£ùd6 followed by

<à>h7+ The strong d-pawn surely offers
compensation for the small déficit in material,
but Black has another point of detail in his
favour: the safer position of his king.]
I will allow myself a small digression. There
are several Systems of evaluating positions,
but most of them consider king safety to be
one of the top two criteria. Psychologically, it
is interesting that such an aggressive player as
Fischer would feel a bit unsure of himself if
there was even a shadow of danger threatening
his king. Décades later, the same would be
noticed with Kasparov.

There is an almost unanimous opinion i
that, in chess as in other fields, the

an explosion of information that is without !

To me, this seems a bit exaggerated. I i
remember that as a kid I found similar j
statements in many of the opening !

of the 50s. Believe it or not, a similar
informâtes explosion is described in the ।
introduction of the first édition of Bilguer’s i
Handbuch, the Chess Encyclopaedia of ;
the 19th century.
There is nothing really new in life or in
chess. In every game, there cornes a
moment when a novelty inevitably pops
up, but one cannot be sure that the idea :
behind it has not been played before.
In this column, I try to highlight the way
in which certain strategie and tactical ideas

White has regrouped well, but his

to outplay his opponent from a basically
equal position.

The exclamation mark is not for the

for opening a whole new chapter in the

CAPABLANCA

I will not delve into the opening phase, where
improvements for both players hâve been
suggested. Instead, I will move on directly to
the critical moment when the typical blocked
structure arises.

The exchange of the light-squared bishops has
certainly made Black’s coordination easier,
but the central plan, based on Sael, £ùg3, f3
and e4 remains dangerous.
Capablanca must hâve underestimated White ’ s
initiative, since he chooses a very slow plan,
aimed at winning the a4-pawn.
15...4àb8? As far as I know, nobody has ever
commented on this move. The knight was
already developed on a6 and retuming it to
its initial square practically gives away two
tempi. In positions with mutual attacks on
opposite wings, this is hardly affordable.
119
Marin
I might mention a small coincidence. Just
as in Fischer’s case, the (possibly décisive)
mistake lay in choosing the wrong square,
and trajectory, for the queen’s knight. We will
hâve more to say about this later.
[Black should hâve corne up with a much
faster moving plan:
15...<àc7! lô.Sael (White can switch to
queenside play, but Black is prepared for
that, too: 16.&a3 a5 U.^fbl ^eb8 18.%a2
16...a5! This pawn is destined to become
Black’s principal hero.
17.£ùg3 b5 As we will see, it is not important
to win the a4-pawn; exchanging it is at least
as good, especially if this happens before
White’s attack gets up to fiill speed.
18.ab5 (I8.f3 b419.e4 b 3 only adds consistency
to Black’s attack. In the future, he might even
give up a knight to parry the white offensive,
since the connected a- and b-pawns would be
very strong. 207^d2 <&h8 21.e5 %hg8 22.f4
,&a4 23.f5 f6 Black has halted the first wave

safely jump in there. Also to be considered

21.fe4 a3 22.Àcl (If 22.kal White would

23...Sa6 X£rf6. White is playing virtually
without his bishop, and this takes a lot of
steam out of his attack. Moreover, the ongoing
possibility of ...a2-al® forces him to keep
the back rank permanently defended. Black is
well regrouped and is at least not worse.]
16.2ael £ùc6 [Botvinnik gives 16...£ùh5
17.JLcl, which transposes to the main line.
However I fmd his suggested move order
too restrictive and prefer 17.h3 first. He then
continues the line with 17...£ùc6 18.f3 f5 19.h3

Rejecting the plan of advancing the pawns
does not guarantee any success at ail, while
the overall évaluation largely dépends on the
speed of action and accuracy of both sides.

kinds of positions everything tends to hang

Quite a nerve-wracking game! It provides an

I invite you now to compare two old games of

d5 6.£J3 c5 7.0-0 <£c6 8.a3 Àc3 9.bc3
This only bears a superficial resemblance to
the Saemisch variation. The small différence
in the way of developing the king’s knight will
make it harder for White to start his central
attack once the thematic structure occurs on
the board.
9...b6 The standard route to reach the structure
in the game is 9...®c7 10.cd5 ed5.
10.cd5 White should take advantage of the
fact that the e5-square is not defended by
playing 10.£ùe5!
10...ed5 In principle, the move ...b6 is more
useful than ...®c7 in lines like this. Committing
the queen so early sometimes restricts Black’s
possibilities. The queen is well placed on
d8, enjoying a wide choice of possibilities.
However, within just a few moves this small
nuance will lose its relevance.
11.£42 This is too straightforward a plan.
White’s desire to préparé f2-f3 and e3-e4 is
understandable, but the knight stands worse
on d2 than it would on g3. 11.a4 is more
active.
Il...le6 12.1b2 The same comment applies
as on the previous move. 12.a4!? might be
considered.
12...C4 13.1c2 b5
Black has lost a tempo with his b-pawn, but
the queen will arrive on b6 in just one move,
so everything starts looking as if he had played
9...®c7. At the same time, White’s position is
more passive than in the previous examples.
14.13 a5
15.Sel?! This plan, aiming to transfer the
knight to g3, loses two tempi right from
the start. In fact the knight should hâve
got there in just two moves (£e2-g3), but
there is even more to it: the rook belongs
on the f-file.
[Bronstein recommends 15.e4 but once the
d4-pawn has been weakened Black can also
speed up his attack by 15...b4. The following
long line is illustrative of Black’s défensive
resources:
16.e5 {16.ka4 W>6 17.kc6 ^c6 18.e5 bc3

accurately, despite having such an impressive
Black to move. How can he implement a
défensive strategy on the kingside?

The point. If White blocks the centre with
e4-e5, he will play the rest of the game

should be able to find a way of opening the

This was the thematic knight jump prepared
by Fischer against Gheorghiu, and something
Botvinnik avoided in his game against
Capablanca! Nevertheless, it will not provide
the expected results.
[22...Sa3, aiming to activate the other knight
via b4-d3, is too slow. Speaking abstractly, we
can compare the situation with Capablanca’s
long-term plan targeting the same a-pawn, but
one square further forward.

I read somewhere that Anand had stated he
should hâve started playing l.d4 earlier in
the match. I thought that was obvious even
before the first Berlin Defence. In closed
games, White can set more serious strategie
problems against a player with such clear-cut
tendencies as Carlsen.
The game was heavily analyzed by Atalik in
Informant 119, so I will restrict myself just
to some general remarks which will help
us to fit the game into the System we hâve
concentrated on so far.

My First thought (lasting for quite a while)
was that this move is a strategie concession.
However, Carlsen’s purposeful play shows it
to be entirely viable.
9.^e2 £ùc6 10.g4 0-0 ll.â,g2 &a5 12.0-0

what Capablanca actually did, only with huge
loss of time!
13.Sa2 b5 14.&g3 a5 15.g5 ^e8 16.e4 &cl
17.Wcl
The next two moves deserve the highest
praise, being the quickest and most effective
way of preparing Black’s queenside attack
before things get too hot on the other flank.
17...ga6! 18.e5 £ùc7!
Unlike Capablanca in the game above,
Carlsen surely knows how to use his knight
for generating counterplay!
19.f4
[Curiously, Gutman and Krasenkow criticize
Carlsen’s last move, recommending 19.Sb2
as an effective punishment. They must hâve
overlooked that the rook and knight can be
usefiil for more than just playing ...b5-b4:

The knight safely défends the d-pawn and the
rook is ready to take part in the action. But
who is attacking here? 26.Sf2 ®e3 27.£ùh5
2h6 28.JLd5!? It appears that both players are
attacking on the same wing. <à>h8! (28...Q\d5?

perpétuai check.]
19...b4! 2O.ab4 ab4 21.ga6
Everything goes like clockwork. After the
forced exchanges, the knight has reached the
edge of the board from where it covers the
b-pawn. White’s attack looks threatening,
but the b-pawn is fast enough to keep White
at least partly occupied.
22.f5 b3 23.®f4
23..Æùc7ü
This knight really is impressive. After
completing the queenside mission it retums to
secure his king against mating threats on g7.
24.f6 g6 25.®h4 £ùe8
The last move of this heroic knight.
Symbolically, the game will not last for long,
either. The rest is well-known, the big blunder,
the end of the match...
26.®h6 b2 27.gf4 bl® 28.W? ®el
0:1 Marin
The final moves are rather out of the orbit
of this column. It seems as if everything we
leamed from the classics has started tumbling
down like a house of cards.
I would suggest a more optimistic way of putting
it. Our classical inheritance retains its value in
the structures examined here, but requires a
critical approach. Botvinnik had set alarm bells
ringing with his comments to his game against
Alexander, but his win over Capablanca remains
by far the most famous encounter.
There is a good book by Alexander Baburin, which
has just one major drawback, its title: Winning
Pawn Structures. In fact there is no such thing,
at least if neither player has done anything really
harmful to their own particular structure. Pawns
are the soûl of chess, as they dictate the plans of
both players, but the game remains a complex
struggle involving pièces and pawns, strategie and
tactical ideas, speed and effectiveness...
It’s great that the new world champion has
helped to cast some light on our topic. That
is what world champions are for - to help
develop our game, isn’t it? And I cannot help
ending with a rhetorical question: Will Anand
be able to do the same in the retum match?

TO EXCHANGE OR NOT TO EXCHANGE INTO A
PAWN ENDGAME - THAT IS THE QUESTION
Should I exchange the pièces and go for a pawn ending, or not? This is a question
we often hâve to ask ourselves when playing an endgame. The right answer
could lead to victory or just save a difficult position. Or it could provide us with
some other desired resuit much faster and easier than in other kinds of endgame.
On the other hand the wrong answer could ruin our winning or drawn position. The
main problem here is that in most cases there is no way back and the wrong choice
could be really dramatic. How to make the right decision? Well, it’s a matter of
knowledge and calculation and quite often we hâve to make a decision when in bad
(or pretty bad) time-trouble, relying on our intuition and expérience.
I would like to begin with a model example, followed by a recent game position
from the championship of my home country. Then l’d like to demonstrate
various examples from chess history and my own tournament games. The
positions will be presented just before the exchange takes place.
So let’s first see the starter, which is easy to understand:
AN INSTRUCTIVE POSITION

position?

pawn endgame or keep the minor piece.

should hâve been careful about the pawn

only Black can be in danger.

Black to move. Should he go for the
exchange of rooks?
Having only a couple of minutes on his clock,
my young opponent, who a decade later is
now the current world champion, had to
décidé whether to go for a pawn ending -
which looked dangerous and could be drawn
or could be lost. Would the exchange of rooks
really lead to a share of the point?
29...Sf7! In fact, it was the right way. The
pawn ending is drawn, as White is not able
to create a passed pawn. But in the end the
Norwegian prodigy decided not to go for it
and chose an inferior rook ending.

exploit his active pièces and went on to win the

Very strange: Black is a pawn up, even if it’s
doubled, but the white king is more active and
that is much more important here. Also very
important is that the white pawn is still on h2
and White has two additional tempi to force a
final zugzwang. So now we reach a position

Though this looks logical, unfortunately it
loses. Black prevents White from creating
a protected passed pawn. Also he saw that
when the white king takes the pawn on c4,
the black king will corne to e5, placing White
in zugzwang. The problem is that the black
c-pawn becomes a weakness and White is
in no hurry to win it. It should also be noted
that the white pawns are on a2 and h2, thus
making possible a few tempo-gaining moves
if needed.
[The right move was 35...<à>d6. Normally, a
protected passed pawn in a pawn ending is
a décisive advantage, but here White has no

White has a huge advantage. Should he go

White has an extra pawn, but his king has to keep

White missed this beautiful idea: Once his king

CONCLUSION
From our tests it can be seen that in some cases
we are able to calculate or assess a resulting
pawn endgame. But in other cases it’s really
difficult, so my advice would be as follows:
when making a decision, first try to calculate
whether it is possible to see a clear outcome,
as was the case in the games: Malisauskas -
Laurusas, Rozentalis - Sokolov, Kortchnoi -
Lukin and Grischuk - Kramnik. If you think
it’s not possible to calculate right up to a clear
position or to evaluate the resulting endgame,
then try to compare your chances in the two
cases of exchanging a piece or retaining that
piece. In the game Rozentalis - Leveille, White
had no other choice, so the exchange was fully
justified. In the game Aronin - Smyslov, the
opposite was the case: White had other clear
paths to victory, so there was no need to run the
risk of an incorrect évaluation. Then again, in
the most complicated examples: Rozentalis -
Carlsen. Harikrishna - Sutovsky, and Gelfand
- Rozentalis, it was really difficult to assess
the resulting position after the exchange and
to weigh up the chances both in the pawn
ending and in the ending with pièces. Indeed,
as we hâve seen, the problem is by no means
easy to solve and even top players sometimes
make the wrong choice.

ENDGAME STRATEGY
GM Karsten Mueller
THE POWER OF THE BISHOPS
The bishop pair is a mighty weapon in the endgame, as the two bishops,
operating on different coloured squares, complément each other. Here
I will deal with two bishops against bishop and knight. The bishop of the
pair, which has no counterpart can be called green bishop. This theme
has been developed by German coach Holger Borchers, whose highly
successful coaching career at national junior level included helping GM
Leonid Kritz to become U16 World champion in 1999. Berlin-based
Borchers once used the visual colour facility of the ChessBase program
to demonstrate the devastating effect of a bishop on b7 in a famous game,
Tiviakov vs. Kasparov, played in Wijk aan Zee 2001. As a guideline, the
green bishop should be strengthened as much as possible. This is one of
the strategies used by Anand in the following game:

of rook endgames.]
23.c4
Anand launches an initiative on the queenside.
It is good for him that his pawns there are
mobile, so that he can exploit them to open
lines or to complément his bishops.
Mobile pawns usually benefit the bishops as
they can be used to restrict the opponent’s
minor pièces, especially the knight, to open
lines and inject dynamics into the position
or simply to complément the actions of the
bishops. Both bishop and knight can profit
from fractured enemy pawn structures, if
the knight can find strong outposts or if the
weaknesses can be attacked by the bishop
and knight. The rather static nature of such
a position can also give the knight time to
undertake lengthy manoeuvres.
23...C6 24.gacl S5e7
25.a4!?
Anand has a strong initiative on the queenside
and his bishop on e3, the “green” bishop, is
really strong.
25...bc4 26.ÀC4 &d5 27.Àc5 ge4 28.13
Pawns can be used in many ways. For example,
they can restrict enemy pièces or protect
weak squares. They can also compensate for
a missing bishop by being placed on the same
coloured squares as that piece would be if
it were still on the board. In German this is
called Ersatzlâufer i.e. “a replacement for the
missing bishop”.
The Art eff Long-Term
Planning in Chess
There are many text books and magazine
columns teaching endgame 'theory', butthis
is only one side of the fascinating final phase
of the royal game. Strategies in the endgame
are also of great importance. How to restrict
the opponent? When and how to transform
one advantage into another? How to make
the utmost of every man on the board? In
fact such strategies - and the results of such
strategies - can be more clearly seen in the
endgame than in a complicated middlegame.
And, in this article, German grandmaster
and endgame specialist Karsten Mueller will
endeavourto show you how you can employ
these techniques in your own games.
You could first try to solve the training
exercises offered as a free download on
our website and only after tfoât look at the
games for the solutions. You ’can follow the
guidelines but you also hâve to look critically
at the examples, in order to develop an
intuitive feel for their correct application in
practice. After ail, the art of the royal game
is not to know the guidelines by heart and
to repeat them three times every morning
in front of the mirror. The true art is being
able to calculate accurately - for which the
endgame incidentally serves as good training
ground - and to develop an instinct for
detecting the exceptions to the guidelines.

help in the hunt.

White wins as his bishop dominâtes the knight.
Such distant domination of the knight on a4 by
the bishop on d4 is also called “corralling”.
Domination is an important theme in the
endgame. You should know the typical patterns
for dominating enemy pièces from a distance.

|With the exchanging operation started by
• 19.£ùe5 ! ?, Anand not only gained the bishop
pair but also completely cleared the centre.
This significantly helped the bishops as they
had free and easy movement on both wings.
In the game, Anand increased the pressure
on the queenside, step by step, and made his
green bishop very strong. This example can be
regarded as a very typical bishop pair strategy
when there is an open centre.
In the following game the bishops rule by
making inroads into the enemy camp in
typical fashion:

This undermining of Black’s kingside is
extremely strong as the dark squares are now
seriously weakened, leaving the bishop on e5
ruling the board. Black’s bishop is so poorly
placed that it cannot defend the kingside.
Knights like outposts. One way to undermine
these is by using one of your own pawns to attack
the enemy pawn which is protecting the knight.

I would like to deepen your understanding of

Steinitzian method of restricting a knight:

45.Ed4! Svidler prevents any counterplay.
45...Sc3?! Now the advance of the h-pawn
wins directly, but Black is lost in any case.
[For example, 45...Ed4 46.cd4 and White
wins as his passed pawns are three files apart
and cannot be halted on one and the same
diagonal.]

|The open centre helped White’s bishops
• to operate on both wings. In the end, the
opposite coloured bishops offered Black
no hope of a draw. On the contrary, they
laid the foundations of White’s advantage,
in accordance with the guideline from the
17...b6! Steinitz starts by limiting the scope
of both of White’s minor pièces.
18.h3 JLe6 19.Hfdl? This is a mistake as
White’s knight is now sidelined. 19.£ùd4! is
more or less forced.
19...C5! Steinitz takes away the important
square d4 from both of White’s minor pièces
and increases the power of his “green” bishop
on g7.
2O.Àg5 f6 21.^4 <à>f7 22.13 g5
Steinitz gains more and more space, thereby
further restricting White’s minor pièces.
23.gd8 Sd8 24.Àe3 h6

Mueller
Now ail Black’s pawns are on dark squares.
In this way, they do not hamper the “green”
bishop but do restrict White’s bishop.
25.Sel f5 26.f4 Àf6 27.g3?!
[27.£ùd2 is called for, in order to redeploy the
knight before it is completely dominated.]
27...a5!
Steinitz threatens a typical undermining of
White’s queenside.
28Æùcl a4 29.a3 Àc4
The “green” bishop dominâtes the knight
from afar. Another example of so called
“corralling”.
30.<à>f2
Now Black has three options. He can exchange
the dark squared bishops as in the game or he
can play 3O...Sd5 with the idea ...b5-b4. By the
way, I suspect that most modem grandmasters
would choose a version of this plan, so as to
retain the bishop pair. Altematively Black can
postpone his decision and opt for 30...<à>g6 first.
3O...gf4 31.À,f4
31...Ag5! Steinitz exchanges White’s bishop
as it is a strong defender. One advantage
of the bishop pair is that bishops are often
easier to exchange than knights and by this
means one advantage can be transformée!
into another. In this case the transformation
is to an endgame with rook and bishop
against rook and knight, where the bishop is
superior. Such an endgame might nowadays
be called the “Fischer endgame”, due to the
many instructive victories of former world
champion, Bobby Fischer.

| This is my favourite example of the
• Steinitzian method of restriction. Steinitz
used his pawns to restrict White’s minor
pièces, especially the knight, more and more
and at the same time made his green bishop
stronger and stronger. Then he converted the
advantage of the pair of bishops to a favourable
endgame with rook and bishop against rook
and dominated knight. A true masterpiece!
In the next classic example, the battle is
chiefly about destroying outposts for the
defending knights:
37...<à>e5!
The only move to make progress. The position
can be regarded as an improved pawn endgame
for Black, as White’s knight is completely
dominated.
[On the other hand, 37...f4? would allow the
knight to escape: 38.<àe2 <à>f5 39.h5 <à>g5

|With 26.Aa4! Kotov began a struggle
• against potential outposts for Black’s
knights on the queenside. Later he was able
to exploit the provoked weaknesses with his
bishops, as there was no longer any useful
rôle for the knights on the queenside.
As indicated, the above five games are
characterised by strategie planning, designed to
create open pawn formations in the centre, which
greatly benefited the bishops. The final example is
different, as there is limited open space and only in
the final phase are the white pièces able to exploit
an open file and the 7th rank. Here we see Rapport
utilising his pawns, firstly to gain space and then
later to open the position for his bishops.

] With the exchanging operation, 18.£ùe5!,
• White gained the bishop pair. However
Black should hâve preserved his dark
squared bishop as his central pawns on d5,
eô, f5 effectively formed a light squared
Ersatzlaufer, giving him superior control
over both the light and dark squares. On the
other hand, as played in the game, Black’s
dark squares were too weak and, as is often
the case, these were exploited by a lever on
the light squares - the strong 38.e4!

Latest opening trends from a grandmaster perspective
Recent tournament practice in the 6.Wf3 line of the Scotch has
shown that endgames following an exchange of queens on f3 are
not dangerous for Black. Therefore White players are now trying 7.®g3
in order to reach sharper and more complicated middlegame positions.
So it is this queen move that will be the main focus of our survey.
I.e4 e5 2.^0 £c6 3.d4 ed4 4.^d4 ^c5
5.^c6 Wf6 6.®f3 bc6
7.®g3
This has become the main move here.
White players nowadays prefer to avoid the
exchange of queens, aiming to reach more
dynamic and lively positions. We can name
some of the experts in this line for both sides:
Rublevsky and Nepomniachtchi for White
and Grishchuk, Tomashevsky, Carlsen and
Aronian for Black.
[7.^ùd2 is the main alternative. Then 7...d6

White’s plan is to play Àd2, f3, 0-0-0, and
then to display activity in the centre or more
likely on the kingside.
8...®g6
Black again tries to exchange queens, whilst
also vacating the f6 square for his knight and
introducing the possibility of ...f7-f5 at some
stage.,8...£ùe7 is also worthy of considération,
as is 8... Jld4, after which very interesting

The idea is to put pressure on the al-h8

squares after a subséquent ...Sb8. Ail this is
directed against White’ above mentioned plan
with 0-0-0. Sometimes Black can also take
on c3, ruining White’s pawn structure. This
is a very serious alternative and needs to be
analysed further.

Now the exchange on bô is not good for
White because after 12...abô Black then can

that Black should not attempt to trade queens

Latest opening trends from a grandmaster perspective
The variation l’ve chosen to présent for CI Labs was once considered
to be quite dangerous - and for both sides! It was introduced into
tournament praxis in the early 90’s of the 20th century, as the Slav
Defence was so popular at that time and White players were not satisfied
with long forced lines of the Meran or the Botvinnik variation where
the theory seemed to hâve been practically exhausted. Though these
players made every effort to become acquainted with ail the small
nuances of the various lines of play, there was still a constant threat
of being surprised on move 17, for example! But when 7.g4 was first
employed, it opened a completely new area of ideas and positions that
needed to be examined. The pioneers of the line were players with a
combative style of play, like Kasparov, Shirov, Bareev, Dreev, Illescas,
and Krasenkow, and once it had become fashionable, many other strong
players adopted it too, such as Gelfand, Akopian...

This précisé move seems to be the main
reason why White players hâve chosen not
to play 7.g4 lately. In fact nowadays it is
rare that strong grandmasters include it in
their regular opening répertoire. When this
gambit line was first introduced in praxis,
Black tried various approaches: 7...<àg4,

the sacrifice of the g4-pawn, but, as time passed,
7...h6 proved to be the clearest path for Black.
Since it is this move that I wish to focus on here,
I won’t pay any attention to other continuations.

My idea was to try to refresh the variation,
which is currently being shunned by White
players. In my humble opinion, I consider that
up to a point I hâve succeeded in my objective.
In the lines with 8.jLd2, I think that White
can hardly hope for any advantage. I consider
both 8.Sgl in conjunction with b3, and 8.h3,
to be the most promising choices, although
the final verdict is still far from clear.

GM Vassilios Kotronias
BUILDING A REPERTOIRE, B22 SICILIAN DEFENSE
SICILIAN WITH XC3
Part II
The first part of this sériés dealt with White’s attempts to delay (or even
entirely avoid) the move d2-d4. In this second part Kotronias moves on
to White’s main move 4.d4. After 4...cd4 he first deals with the immédiate
recapture, 5.cd4, which allows Black certain promising possibilities to
avoid the main lines. Indeed, Black should immediately counter White’s
center with 5...d6. White can try either 6. Jlc4 or 6.£ùf3 here, but Black has
satisfactory responses available in 6.JLc4 £ùb6 7.JLb5+ Jld7 8.e6!? feô!
(or 7.Ab3 de5!) and 6.£tf3 de5, each offering him good counterplay.
Lifelong Sicilien Player
The pedigree of the author speaks volumes about what the reader is to expect
from these articles: apart from being a very strong and successful active player,
Vassilios Kotronias is a highly esteemed author and chess analyst, well known
for his deep analytical approach to the opening, who has worked with several
top grandmasters, such as Veselin Topalov, Alexei Shirov and Nigel Short, as
well as a trainer for the Greek national team. His name is associated with deep
opening research, inventive new ideas and an unceasing quest for the absolute
truth, as can be evidenced from his various highly regarded opening works to date.
Additionally, he is well known for his uncompromising style and fighting spirit.
171
Kotronias
Vassilios’ compétitive successes include ten gold medals in the Greek
Championships and First places, clear or shared, in several strong toumaments
ail over the world, while he has been a member of the Greek national team
for three décades. Most recently he won the gold medal on his board in the
2013 European Team Championships in Warsaw. He certainly knows what
he’s writing about, too: Vassilios has been a lifelong Sicilian player, and has
clearly spent endless hours throughout his career racking his brains over how
to meet the 2.c3 Sicilian in a dynamic and ambitious way. This sériés of articles
represents the resuit of his most recent efforts on this problem.

A naturel choice, but it has the disadvantage of
not putting the £ùd5 under direct pressure. This in
tum gives Black a respite to strike at the centre.

This has been one of the many attempts by
White to prove he has something, but, as is
so often the case, developing bishops before
knights has more minuses than pluses.
6... £ùb6 Tit for tat.

at this point, but maybe I was too cautions.

: double-edged game. Black’s king is a
: permanent problem, but he has an extra
• pawn and excellent pawn structure as

Overall, I am now in a position to State that
8...fe6! should be preferred over 8...Ab5; it
is difficult to play positions with the king
stuck in the centre as shown by the examples
given above.
7...de5 Again, the obvious move proves best.
[After 7...£ùc6 8.e6! feô 9.£rf3± White gets
very good attacking chances.]
8.®h5 The point of White’s play; without this
move he would stand simply worse.
8...e6 9.de5 £ùc6 A double edged position
has arisen, which should, in my opinion,
be dynamically balanced. White has rather
more space, but queen invasions on d3
ensure that Black will hâve sufficient
counterplay.
10.£tf3 [10.^c3 Wd3 (10..&b4 Cs. Papp

b6!? This is a novelty, as far as I can tell; I
like the idea of...Jla6-e2 here.
17Æùg5!? [After 17.Wf7 £>f7 18.£)g5 <à>e7
19.4ùe4 4ùe5+ Black is at least equal due to
his active pièces and centralised king. 17.çfe>g 1

either.]
17...Àa6 18.®gl Wg6 19.Wg6 hg6 2O.f4!
There is simply no time for “finesses”. The

4ùa5 25.Hh3 4ùb3 26.ab3 <É?e7+ gives White

23.Ed4 &c5«
This is the type of position where the chances
are approximately equal, but in practice is
much easier to play as Black. White’s three
pawn islands are sure to cause him headaches
with the first inaccuracy he makes.
CONCLUSION: 6.JLc4 is rather easy to
handle as Black. After 6...£ùb6 7.Jlb5+ Jld7
8.e6, the primitive 8...fe6! should suffice for
an edge as he can evacuate his king to the
queenside in time, rendering White’s kingside
offensive toothless. A quieter course is
7.Àb3, but then 7...de5 8.®h5 e6 9.de5 Ôc6
10.£tf3 Wd3! gives Black at least sufficient
counterplay in the endings that arise after the
rather unavoidable exchange of queens.

White’s extra pawn is, of course, purely
symbolic here.
CONCLUSION: After 6.213 the reply 6...2c6
is good and reliable, as examined under the
2.2f3 2c6 3.c3 move order chapters. In this
chapter though, I hâve chosen to analyse the
radical 6...de5!?, which leads to quite lively
positions as well. After 6...de5 7.2e5, the reply
7..2c6 leads to positions where White will
hâve either an isolani on d4 or the so called
hanging c- and d-pawns. In both cases Black
gets satisfactory play with excellent chances
to play for a win, as both practice and theory
has proven. GM Gharamian’s games hâve
provided us with solid ground to build on, and
they are worth examining. I consider the most
principled recapture to be 7.de5, as it maintains
more space for White. Then Black may choose
(after 7...2c6 8.1c4) between the intriguing
8...1e6!? and the positionally Sound 8...2db4.
In both cases Black achieves equality and the
choice is a question of style and objectives.
