1. c4 {First surprise. During my preparation I realized that Efimenko,
although mostly an 1.e4 player, sometimes preferred 1.d4 when meeting
opponents who had the King's Indian as their main weapon. But then, in the
second round I had played the Slav against Akopian, so my adversary probably
thought that starting with 1.c4 would force me to play the KID.} e5 {Therefore,
I decided not to fall in with his plans. The truth is that I had already
played this way when facing GM Marc Narciso last November at the Spanish
championship, but that game failed to appear on the database until much later,
so I guess I also managed to surprise my opponent.} 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. d4

Opecensky was the first to put it into use, more than 70 years ago; he managed

point I began to think hard again. White wants to play 10.e3 and finish his
development, after which he could start working on my dubious pawn structure.
One thing was clear to me: I had to get rid of the f4-bishop. In that case,
blackґs development advantage would suddenly become dangerous. I saw the idea
pretty quickly, but it really isn't that easy to convince your hand to
sacrifice two pawns in a real game, even if the position seems to be begging
for it.} e3 $1 {I cannot really prove that this is the best move in the
position, but from a practical point of view I haven't the slightest doubt. I
know from experience that major changes in the rhythm of the game can be quite
disturbing - white was expecting a slow game and suddenly he has to go on the
defensive. Besides, blackґs compensation is long-term, and therefore the
tension to be endured greater. The variations that follow seem to indicate
that black has reasonable compensation in all lines. At least I have not been
able to find a variation in which white manages to defend and keep his
material advantage.} 10. Bxe3 g3 $1 {Freeing the g4 square for the knight.} 11.

better to castle, for the rook does more damage on the e-file. In my opinion,
black has sufficient compensation for the pawns, and has the easier game as
well. All he has to do is accumulate pieces against the white king: B and Q on
the h8-a1 diagonal, Rs on b8 and e8. Yes, what is two pawns up, but what to do
with them? the g3-pawn plays no active part in the middle game, while the
e-pawn will be easily blockaded on e5. Exchanging knights will not do either,
since then stopping the attack on the dark squares would be almost impossible.

offer Black excellent chances in the Sicilian, and the extra tempo should make
the position suitable for ambitious play with White in the English Opening. It
should be said however, that Black could eventually get his tempo back by
playing the active ...Bc5 in just one move (which explains why Grischuk played
...Nf6 instead of ...Nb6, leaving the b6-square available for the bishop). La

la Siciliana, se considera que las negras tienen cуmodo juego, porlo que el
tiempo de mas de las blancas en la Inglesa tendrнa que ofrecerles buenas
posibilidades para mantener la tensiуn. Sin embargo, cabe decir que las negras
tienen la posibilidad de recuperar el tiempo de menos jugando ...Bc5 en una

moves but I like this one the most and the computer also approves it. One of

to dissolve them with the move b7-b5!} 11. O-O $1 b5 $1 {Why is the move b5 so
strong? First of all we are threatening to take on c4. If White decides to
take on b5 then it opens the a-file and Black can put some good amount of
pressure on the a2 pawn with the bishop coming on a6. All in all a6 followed
by b5 should become a part of your positional arsenal in such structures.} 12.

is pretty unclear and double-edged. White has the very powerful Ne4 and
prospects of light-square play in the future (like Nfd2, Rfe1, Bf1, g3, Bg2
etc.) whereas Black has a pawn superiority on the queenside (what gives some
space advantage), the bishop pair and ideas of combining play on the queenside
and sometimes the kingside (which actually happened in the game). If White
manages to trade light-squared bishops he will obtain the advantage. However
this task is difficult, the same as it is for Black to advance his pawns on
the queenside. Therefore I think that good manoeuvring play is required from
both sides to maintain the balance - if either side neglects it, then the
other side might get something of an edge.} 18. Rc1 c6 19. Nfd2 Bg8 {Going

bishop might be lost. Still, Black must be precise now in order to exploit the
defects of White's position.} Qh5 $1 26. g3 Rad8 27. Nc5 {and since now Black

advantage and things are not so easy now. Also this move started a series of
mistakes from both sides and a mutual exchange of favours till move 32.} ({

know why I didn't play it. Next, ...h4 follows with a huge, winning attack.})
