{This game was played in the fourth round, but we had a rest day before,
celebrating the birthday of the great legend Mikhail Tal. The organisers had
arranged a wonderful evening with many special guests in the spirit of Tal, in
a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.   Diese Partie wurde in der vierten
Runde gespielt, alledings hatten wir vorher einen Ruhetag, an dem wir den
Geburtstag der groЯen Legende Mikhail Tal feierten. Die Veranstalter hatten
einen wunderbaren Abend im Geist von Tal arrangiert, mit vielen besonderen
Gдsten in einer sehr entspannten und freundlichen Atmosphдre.} 1. d4 {A
surprising choice to play 1.d4 precisey against Gelfand , but I really wanted
to know how it feels like fighting Boris in his own territory! Eine
ьberraschende Wahl, ausgerechnet gegen Gelfand 1.d4 zu spielen, doch ich
wollte wirklich wissen, was fьr ein Gefьhl es ist, Boris auf seinem eigenen
Territorium zu bekдmpfen!} d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 dxc4 {My opponent
sticks to his main weapon that he used most in 2006 not fearing any
preparation.  Mein Gegner bleibt bei seiner Hauptwaffe, die er im Jahr 2006
hauptsдchlich anwandte, ohne irgendwelche Vorbereitung zu fьrchten.} 5. a4 Bf5

modernen Theorie als am genauesten.} 13. e4 e5 14. Be3 {Here my opponent
hesitated for a while (he sensed the danger?) but then followed the main road.
Hier zцgerte mein Gegner eine Weile (spьrte er die Gefahr?), doch dann folgte
er dem Hauptpfad.} Qa5 15. Qf5 $5 {A very interesting novelty that brings new
life into this line. Suddenly Black's setup is facing some pressure. Eine sehr
interessante Neuerung, die diesem Abspiel neues Leben einflцЯt. Plцtzlich
steht der schwarze Aufbau unter einigem Druck.} exd4 {A logical decision in a
practical game to release the tension when you face a novelty and liquidate to
a slightly worse, but solid endgame. Eine logische Entscheidung in einer
praktischen Partie, im Angesicht einer Neuerung die Spannung aufzuheben und in
ein leicht schlechteres, aber solides Endspiel abzuwickeln.} ({Keeping the

certainly Black has not equalised. Es ist schwer zu sagen, wie groЯ der weiЯe
Vorteil hier wirklich ist, aber gewiss hat Schwarz nicht ausgeglichen.} a6 {
Trying to be as flexible as possible.  Versucht, so flexibel wie mцglich zu
sein.} 19. Kf2 {Bringing the K closer to action and preparing expansion with
the kingside pawns. Fьhrt den K nдher ans Geschehen heran und bereitet eine
Expansion mit den Kцnigsflьgelbauern vor.} Ne5 {The start of a correct plan.
Black tries to activate his knight in order to create a dark-squared blockade
on the f4 square in the future.  Der Beginn eines korrekten Planes. Schwarz
versucht, seinen Springer zu aktivieren, um in der Zukunft eine
schwarzfeldrige Blockade auf dem Feld f5 zu errichen.} 20. Be2 {A natural move,
but one I regretted a lot during the game. Ein natьrlicher Zug, aber einer,
den ich wдhrend der Partie sehr bedauerte.} ({As described before, here the
most important struggle strangely enough is about the f4-square and therefore
the e2-square should be vacated for the white N. Wie bereits beschrieben dreht
sich hier der wichtigste Kampf seltsamerweise um das f4-Feld, und daher sollte
das e2-Feld fьr den weiЯen Springer frei gemacht werden.} 20. Bf1 $1 {looked a
bit ugly but it was the right move! sah ein bisschen hдsslich aus, war aber
der richtige Zug!}) 20... Rcd8 21. Be3 $1 {Now White is ready to start the
action on the kingside, but it's Black's move... Nun steht WeiЯ zur Tat am
Kцnigsflьgel bereit, aber Schwarz ist am Zug...} h5 $1 {Very precise. Now I
had to think for a long time to find a plan how to keep my chances of fighting
for the initiative. I could see how easy it would be to continue with the
bishop on f1, but I should have thought about it a bit earlier.  Sehr genau.
Nun musste ich lange ьberlegen, um einen Plan zu finden, meine Chancen zu
wahren, um die Initiative zu kдmpfen. Ich konnte sehen, wie einfach es sein
wьrde, mit dem Lдufer auf f1 fortzusetzen, doch daran hдtte ich ein bisschen
frьher denken sollen.} 22. g4 $5 {After long calculation I found some nice
ideas in the most direct approach. Nach langer Berechnung fand ich ein paar
schцne Ideen in der direktesten Vorgehensweise.} hxg4 23. hxg4 Ng6 24. Rxd8 $1
{This is it! The only way to later seize the d-file is to give it up
temporarily. It wasn't an obvious motif to me. Das ist es! Die einzige
Mцglichkeit, spдter die d-Linie zu erobern, besteht darin, sie vorьbergehend
aufzugeben. Dies war kein offensichtliches Motiv fьr mich.} Rxd8 25. Kg3 $1 {

or less achieved his goal. The kingside pawns have been blocked, but White
still has some trumps...  Schwarz hat sein Ziel mehr oder weniger erreicht.

last 6 moves was to play this move, but the circumstances have changed even if
just a bit. Einmal mehr ist der natьrlichste Zug nicht der beste! Die schwarze
Hauptidee der letzten 6 Zьge war, diesen Zug zu spielen, doch die Umstдnde

attack but then missed a simple win and started playing less confidently.

become increasingly popular. Actually, 9...Ne4 can hardly be called a new move;
it has just been well forgotten for a long while, but it was employed during

Starting from this moment, I expected that Topalov would sacrifice the knight
on e6 in one way or another. However, Topalov had other plans. By gradually
concentrating all his forces on the king side, he will aim to create very
dangerous threats. This was to a certain extent in accordance with his general

Although Topalov's move does not let the win slip away yet, it surely marks
the start of his gradual decline, after a brilliantly conducted first part of
the game. This seems to be a hidden weakness of the FIDE World Champion.
Sometimes, if the opponent gets some symbolic counterplay in a basically lost
position, Topalov starts becoming less confident. (To a certain extent, this
was also typical for Fischer, with whom Topalov has been frequently been
compared for his uncompromising style). In Topalov-Leko Linares 2005 and
Topalov-Anand San Luis 2005 he just missed relatively simple wins but in
Aronian-Topalov Morelia 2006 he even came close to losing at a certain moment.

fxg6 {According to the theory Black has little to fear here. The main reason
is that it is difficult for White to achieve quickly something on the kingside
due to the open c-file, where Black can create counterplay. It seems that
there are no other plans for White, since on the queenside there is only one
open file, which can lead to exchange of pieces. White does not have any
targets on the queenside and if necessary Black can increase the control over
square b4 by playing ...a7-a5. Indeed, the position is very close to equal,
nevertheless White has possibilities to try increasing his edge.} 17. a5 $1 {
This move, which was never met in GM practice, sets some new problems for
Black. Suddenly the bishop on b4 is unstable (the immediate threat is 18.Qb3)
and White has some ideas to use the a-file for activity. I can put it the
following way: on the kingside White has a stable advantage thanks to more
space and better pawn structure. This cannot be used right away, though, so
White needs another battlefield for activity. In any case Black will always
have to watch out opponent's possibility to advance the h-pawn and create an
attack against the king, but meanwhile White is trying to gain more space on
the queenside and confront Black with problems there too.} ({After other moves

{This game was played in last round. Both of us were fighting for a victory.
But this game was also quite important for me for another reason. Four years
ago in the last round of Wch under 18 I lost to Wojtaszek in a similar game,
in which "the winner takes all".} 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 d5 3. c4 c6 4. Nc3 dxc4 ({
