{My candidates match vs Rustam Kasimdzanov was a tough, but very interesting
one. I was pleased to hear the opinions of colleagues and commentators that
despite 6 draws in 6 classical games in was the most interesting out of all
the matches. This game is quite typical for the whole match: an original
branch of fashionable opening, an unbalanced position, a lot of fight, great
ideas and serious mistakes and...draw at the end!  Mein Kandidatenmatch gegen
Rustam Kasimdzanov war eine zдhe, aber hochintereressante Angelegenheit. Ich
war erfreut, die Meinungen von Kollegen und Kommentatoren zu hцren, dass es
trotz 6 Remis in 6 klassischen Partien von allen Vergleichen der
interessanteste war. Diese Partie ist ganz typisch fьr das gesamte Match: ein
origineller Zweig einer aktuellen Erцffnung, eine dynamische Stellung, eine
Menge Kampf, groЯe Ideen und ernste Fehler und... am Ende unentschieden!} 1. d4

{And I saw no point in senseless play in a theoretically drawn position and
offered a draw. I am curious as to what the "Sofia rules" say about agreeing
to a draw in such a position? I want to thank Alexander Khuzman (who together
with Pavel Eljanov was helping me during these matches - many thanks to both
of you guys!) for analysing this game together with me and also the annotators
at crestbook.com and chesspro.ru for contributing to these annotations.  Und
ich sah keinen Sinn darin, eine theoretische Remisstellung weiterzuspielen,
und bot die Punkteteilung an. Ich bin neugierig, was wohl die "Sofia-Regeln"
ьber eine Remisvereinbarung in einer solchen Stellung sagen wьrden? Danken
mцchte ich Alexander Khuzman (der mir gemeinsam mit Pavel Eljanov wдhrend
dieser Matche geholfen hat - Tausend Dank euch beiden, Jungs!), dass er diese
Partie gemeinsam mit mir analysiert hat, und auch den Kommentatoren bei
crestbook.com und chesspro.ru fьr ihre Beitrдge zu diesen Anmerkungen.} 1/2-1/2

{Stohl: A crucial game between the two highest rated players in the world.
Their score in decided normal games is now 2:2, with Kramnik being the first
one to win with Black. In den vergangenen Jahren haben Viswanathan Anand und
Wladimir Kramnik sich als die Nummer 2 und 3 der Welt hinter Kasparow
etabliert. Wдhrend jedoch Anand in den persцnlichen Begegnungen gegen Kasparow
befangen wirkt und hдufig nicht seine Chancen wahrnimmt, geht Kramnik ohne
groЯen Respekt in die Partien gegen den Weltmeister. Als Ergebnis entstanden
bisher zahlreiche bemerkenswerte Schlachten zwischen den beiden. Die
nachfolgende Partie ist eine der schцnsten Siege fьr Kramnik: Kasparow bringt
eine Neuerung, aber Kramnik widerlegt diese am Brett und kann mit einem
intuitiven Turmopfer die Partie fьr sich entscheiden. Ich stьtze mich auf die
Kommentare von Wladimir Kramnik im Informator 66/382 sowie auf verschiedene
Kommentatoren im ChessBaseMagazin 53. Ich habe hier nur einen kleinen Teil der
taktischen Varianten angegeben. Der Leser mцge sich ermutigt fьhlen, selbst in
die Komplikationen einzusteigen und eigene Forschungen zu betreiben.} 1. d4 d5
2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 e6 {Die Semi-Slawische Verteidigung war lange Zeit
Kramniks Haupterцffnung gegen 1.d4, ehe er sich in den letzten Jahren dem
Nimzo-Inder und dem Abglehntem Damengambit zuwandte.} 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 dxc4 7.
Bxc4 b5 8. Bd3 Bb7 9. O-O a6 10. e4 c5 11. d5 {Mit diesem Zug beginnt das
sogenannte Reynolds-System, eines der kompliziertesten Abspiele im Semi-Slawen.
Kasparow hatte natьrlich einen Grund fьr seine Variantenwahl.} c4 12. Bc2 Qc7 {
Der Pd5 ist natьrlich ein Keil in der schwarzen Stellung, gelingt es Schwarz,
diesen Bauern zu einer Entscheidung zu zwingen, kann er mit einem guten Spiel
dank seiner Mehrheit am Damenflьgel rechnen.} 13. Nd4 Nc5 14. b4 {This move
was close to become popular in the beginning of 90th.} cxb3 15. axb3 b4 {
Der Kampf spitzt sich zu: Schwarz will das weiЯe Zentrum zerstцren, WeiЯ pocht
auf seinen Entwicklungsvorsprung und die sich цffnenden Linien.} 16. Na4 Ncxe4
17. Bxe4 {Stohl: Kasparov's novelty is designed to make use of Black's K stuck
on e8. Dies war Kasparows vorbereitete Neuerung.} (17. dxe6 {wurde in Yakovich,
Y-Sorokin,M (Calcutta op 1991) probiert, aber nach} Rd8 18. exf7+ Kxf7 19. Be3
Bd6 20. h3 Rhe8 {spielten alle schwarzen Figuren mit.}) 17... Nxe4 18. dxe6 {
Bis hier hin hatte Kasparow gerade mal 6 Minuten verbraucht, erst nach der
Antwort Kramniks (der schon eine halbe Stunde verbraucht hatte) begann er
selbst zu denken.} Bd6 {Das schwarze Lдuferpaar wird im weiteren Verlauf eine
verheerende Wirkung entfalten.} 19. exf7+ Qxf7 {Stohl: An exciting, if
probably not fully correct concept. Now Black will be forced to sacrifice a
piece to get his K out of the center. Kramnik nimmt die Herausforderung an.
Sein Zug beinhaltet das Opfer einer Figur.} 20. f3 {Wenn Schwarz noch einen
Zug fьr die kurze Rochade hдtte, stдnde er klar besser, da seine Figuren
wesentlich wirksamer sind.} Qh5 {Zieht der Ne4, dann ist Re1+ sehr unangenehm.}
(20... O-O $2 21. fxe4 Bxh2+ 22. Kxh2 Qxf1 23. Qxf1 Rxf1 24. Nc5 $16 {(Kramnik)
ist hier nicht ausreichend.}) 21. g3 (21. fxe4 $2 Qxh2+ 22. Kf2 O-O+ 23. Nf3
Bxe4 {oder}) (21. h3 $2 Qe5 {geben Schwarz krдftigen Angriff.}) 21... O-O $5 {
Nach einem Rьckzug des Ne4 wьrde 22.Re1+ den schwarzen Kцnig ins Gedrдnge
bringen. Das Figurenopfer wird durch den schlafenden weiЯen Damenflьgel und
die geschwдchte weiЯe Kцnigsstellung motiviert. Ob es restlos korrekt ist,
bezweifele ich allerdings. Es gab zwei andere Mцglichkeiten, die Figur zu
geben, davon ist die eine wahrscheinlich besser als der Partiezug.} ({I)} 21...

Kasparow nahm die Figur sicherlioh nicht gern, aber andernfalls steht er
einfach schlechter.} Qh3 {Stohl: Black doesn't have even a single pawn for the
piece, but his attack is unexpectedly dangerous. Kasparov surprisingly cracks
under the pressure.} 23. Nf3 $2 {In den nдchsten Zьgen greift Kasparow
mehrmals fehl - ein Trost fьr den Normal-"Schдcher", dass selbst der
Weltmeister gelegentlich vor der Komplexitдt des Schachspiels in die Knie geht.
Es gibt zwei Fortsetzungen, die WeiЯ Aussicht auf Vorteil einrдumen.} ({I)} 23.

Extremely annoyed, I played the line a few days later against Schandorff.

over-the-board improvisation that poses black many practical problems which I
was unable to solve. So I managed to procure an absolute minimum with this pet
line.} 14. Nd4 Nb6 {In this particular variation it is vital for black to keep
