had played it a few times previously} ({The main move} 5... Ne7 {has been my

not one of the most common moves but definitely one that deserves serious
attention} ({Two days earlier in the same Tournament Hector played} 6. Nb5 {
in Hector,J (2512)-Short,N (2681) Malmo 2013. Although the game ended ina draw
it was Black pressing all the way.}) 6... Nc6 {This is the standard move which
I assume is mostly played without much reflection as to alternatives. It's a
bit hard to call it a mistake but I personally find it slightly less accurate
than} (6... cxd4 7. Nxd4 Nc6 {which avoids the annoying Qxd4 that happened in
the game.}) 7. Bxh6 $1 {White correctly gives away his dark squared bishop to
achieve a better pawn structure and quick development.} gxh6 8. Bb5 ({A very
solid alternative is} 8. a3 {when} Bxc3+ 9. bxc3 Qa5 10. Qd2 cxd4 11. cxd4
Qxd2+ 12. Kxd2 Bd7 {leads to a pretty balanced endgame. Black has a doubled
h-pawn but can get active counterplay on the queenside by ...Rc8 and ...Na5
playing against White's backward c-pawn and the weakened square c4. Black
might also consider ...Ke7 and possibly ...f6 to create counterplay in the
centre.}) 8... Qa5 (8... cxd4 9. Qxd4) 9. O-O $1 {This is indeed a pawn
sacrifice. However grabbing a pawn for the price of the dark-squared bishop is
a very high price. That would result in a position where Black is seriously

is easier said than done.}) 10. Qxd4 (10. Nxd4 Bd7 11. Bxc6 bxc6 {is also
interesting although this is the kind of position that Black is hoping for.

the pair of bishops. If Black can manage to play ...c5 he should be doing fine.

simple} 12. Nbxd4 {is also good enough giving White a very comfortable grip on
the dark squares.})) 11. Qh4 {Hector usually always goes for the most
ambitious move now with the aim of preventing long castling for Black.} ({

more freedom.} Rg8 12. Bd3 (12. Bxc6 bxc6 13. Ne2 Bf8)) 11... Rg8 $6 {A
seemingly logical move but after White's next it becomes clear that Black does

up. However this kind of position did not at all appeal to me. Best now seems}

Black now has a slightly shaky position in view of his vulnerable king and the

{Endspiele mit Tьrmen und ungleichfarbigen Lдufern sind hдufig in der
Turnierpraxis anzutreffen. Gerade aufgrund der ungleichen Lдufer bieten sie
einerseits erhebliche technische Schwierigkeiten in Anbetracht mцglicher
Blockaden und Remistendenzen, andererseits reizvolle taktische Mцglichkeiten
sowohl im Angriff als auch in der Verteidigung. Im vorliegenden Treffen
alterprobter Bundesliga-Haudegen vermag der tschechische GroЯmeister seine
Probleme bei der Vorteilsverwertung (Mehrbauer) in glдnzendem Stil zu lцsen,
wдhrend der bosnische Widersacher seine Verteidigungsressourcen nur ungenьgend
nutzt.} 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. Bd2 {Weniger ehrgeizig, aber

okkupieren.} cxd4 {Eine Alternative zu den gelдufigeren Fortsetzungen Ne7, Nh6
