[%emt 0:08:02][%csl Ra7,Gb6,Rf4,Rh5] The Orthodox variation of the Queen's
Gambit Declined is usually a quiet and positional affair. This game definitely
did not go that way and the position was very messy for many moves. Ushenina's
positional pressure seemed to hinder Kosteniuk's attempts to attack the
kingside and it seems that the Ukrainian must have had a winning shot at some
point or another, exploiting the awkward placement of Black's knights. However
she missed her opportunity and the game ended in a dramatic draw.} Nxg3 {

often played than the game-move. The idea of 12..Na6 is - after some
preparation - to play Na6-c7-e6 controlling d4 and c5. As long as white keeps
his P on d4 blacks Bb7 does not have a very bright future. However to make
progress white will sooner or later have to relieve the tension in the center.
The question is whether white can do this in a way where he can put pressure
on d5 and/or c5 and at the same time restrict blacks minor-pieces. King:

White has any real advantage after the simple,'} (12... cxd4 {Donev} 13. exd4

Marin,M (2200)-Joita,P (2320) Bucuresti 1984. In those years, the solid
positional FIDE master Paul Joita was one of the trainers at my club,
Politehnica Bucuresti. I was a pupil of GM Theodor Ghitescu and had frequent
over the board battles of principle with Joita's pupils, mainly with Dragos
Dumitrache. One important discovery of Joita was that this type of ending was
not really dangerous for Black, based on a famous Flohr-Capablanca game in
which the Cuban managed to hold a draw despite White's creative inventiveness.
Yet, when including this system in my repertoire with Black, reaching such an
ending would only be the C-plan if plan A (keeping the hanging pawns) and B 
(getting an active version of Isolani) would for some reasons fail in the
middlegame.}) 13. Qa4 {This logical and active (yet almost never played)
developing move came as a surprize to me. Actually, not that much since while
my opponent was thinking I suddenly found myself asking: what would I do
against Qa4? While I was pondering on my answer in the absence of my opponent
some Chinese trainer (or maybe fan) took a photo of my opponent's scoresheet.
This is a bit unusual and probably illegal, too, but the position was too
interesating and had captured my interest that much that I did not take the
effort to get irritated.} ({My preparation mainly consisted of some vague
