{This game was played in the sixth round. In the previous game, Vladislav
dramatically lost to Dreev, having blundered a rook in a very good position.

lost with white more that a year.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bb5 Nd4 {

balanced field of participants and their exciting combative chess, so every
game played there is of great significance. But this duel with Vladislav
Artemiev was particularly important for me. A unique situation had arisen
before the seventh round: six players, of whom I was one, were leading on "+1"
(3.5 Punkte). But Vladislav was not one of them: after three rounds he had
been the sole leader in the table, but he went on to lose two games in
succession and this encounter between us was for him, the favourite for the
tournament, practically his only chance to get back in the struggle for a high
placing. In a word, this game could significantly change the course of the
tournament for each of us. Die russischen Superfinale sind für ihr
ausgeglichenes Teilnehmerfeld und ihren spannenden Kampf bekannt, daher ist
dort jede Partie von großer Bedeutung. Aber dieses Duell mit Vladislav
Artemiev war für mich besonders wichtig. Vor der siebenten Runde entstand
eine einzigartige Situation: sechs Spieler, darunter ich, führten mit "+1" (3,
5 Punkte). Vladislav aber gehörte nicht dazu: nach drei Runden war er der
Einzige an der Tabellenspitze, verlor später aber zwei Partien nacheinander,
und diese Begegnung zwischen uns war für ihn, den Turnierfavoriten, praktisch
die einzige Chance sich in den Kampf um hohe Platzierung einzumischen. Kurz
gesagt, diese Partie konnte den Verlauf des Turniers für jeden von uns
bedeutsam ändern.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 {To be honest, I thought that in this
situation Vlad would more likely go for the Slav Defence, which is also part
of his main repertoire. But the probability of a Grünfeld Defence was of
course also pretty high.  Ehrlich gesagt dachte ich, dass sich Vlad in dieser
Situation eher für die Slawische Verteidigung entscheiden wird, die ebenfalls
zu seinem Hauptrepertoire gehört. Aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit der
Grünfeld-Verteidigung war selbstverständlich auch hoch genug.} 3. Nf3 Bg7 4.

variations on to the board, but often, as was the case in this game, it all
ends up in any case in the main position for this system. anfangen können 
(was auch einen Zug davor anstatt der Rochade ginge), während Schwarz
seinerseits die Reihenfolge der Züge Nb6, Nc6 und 0-0 variieren kann.
Manchmal kommen dabei selbständige Varianten aufs Brett, aber oft, wie es
auch in dieser Partie der Fall war, kommt es im Endeffekt sowieso zur
Hauptposition dieses Systems.}) 8... O-O 9. Nc3 Re8 {And we have got there!

d5 Na5 12. Qc2 {Naturally I really do not want to give away all the subtleties
of my preparation for this variation, but I probably have to reveal at least
some of them. In some interviews I mentioned that while we were working
together GM Yiri Razuvaev recommended that I should employ the system with
g2-g3 against the Grünfeld Defence,but it was only this summer that I felt
myself ready to do so. Natürlich möchte ich nicht unbedingt alle Feinheiten
meiner Vorbereitung zu dieser Variante preisgeben, aber zumindest einen Teil
davon muss ich wohl offenbaren. In einigen Interviews erwähnte ich, dass GM
Yiri Razuvajew während unserer Zusammenarbeit mir empfahl, gegen die
Grünfeld-Verteidigung das System mit g2-g3 anzuwenden, aber "reif" dafür bin
ich erst in diesem Sommer geworden.} ({The text move is not seen so often as

ambitious idea: in the event of the expected advance c7-c6 the e-pawn will be
left on e3 so as to be able to make use of the e4-square (which has been left
free) and the long light-squared diagonal. As far as the Bc1 is concerned, it
can come into play somewhat later. vor, ruht aber auf einer gesunden und
ambitionierten strategischen Idee: im Falle des planmäßigen Vorstoßes c7-c6

etwas später ins Spiel kommen.}) 12... Nac4 $6 {For a while Vlad had been
playing very quickly in this game, especially in the opening. I presume this
was due to his not being in the best psychological state at this point in time,
but the regrouping of pieces which he carried out could have been done during
preparation without a thorough analysis of the consequences. Purely optically
Black's plan looks all right - the knight goes to d6, no danger appears to
threaten Black by doing so and one might think that in the worst of cases for
Black what arises is a position which is slightly worse for him but
complicated and absolutely acceptable. Such an intuitive way of playing
combined with rapid and decent moves had already brought Artemiev many a
victory.  The problem with this position, however, is that it is a dangerous
one to handle just according to the way it looks alone. The King's Indian
structures which flow from the present situation on the board appear really
dubious for Black despite the lovely Nd6. Firstly his other knight is very
unfortunately placed. Secondly - it is really hard for Black to achieve the
counterplay on the kingside which is typical of positions of this sort,
because White is well prepared for it: f7-f5 can be played, but f5-f4 will not
work, whereas the first player for his part has available a plan which needs
to be taken seriously for the strengthening of his position. Thus I think that
Black's last move is the basic cause for his future problems. Eine Zeit lang
spielte Vlad diese Partie sehr schnell, besonders in der Eröffnung. Ich
vermute, dass es teils an seinem zu diesem Moment nicht dem besten
psychologischer Zustand lag, aber die von ihm durchgeführte
Figurenumgruppierung konnte er durchaus noch bei der Vorbereitung vornehmen,
ohne die Folgen davon gründlich zu analysieren. Rein optisch macht der
schwarze Plan in der Tat einen sympathischen Eindruck - der Springer geht nach
d6, es scheint, dass dem Schwarzen dabei nichts Gefährliches droht, und man
könnte denken, dass im allerschlimmsten Fall für den Nachziehenden eine für
ihn etwas schlechtere, aber komplizierte und absolut akzeptable Position
entsteht. Solche intuitive Art zu spielen in Zusammenhang mit schneller und
sauberer Ausführung brachte Artemiev bereits viele Siege. Das Problem bei
dieser Stellung besteht aber darin, dass es gefährlich ist, sie "nach
Augenmaß" zu behandeln. Die sich aus der aktuellen Brettlage herausbildenden 
königsindischen Strukturen sind in der Perspektive trotz des schönen Nd6
für Schwarz recht fragwürdig. Erstens, der andere Springer von ihm steht
sehr unglücklich. Zweitens - es ist für den Nachziehenden wirklich schwer,
ein für solche Stellungsbilder typisches Gegenspiel am Königsflügel zu
erhalten, weil Weiß dafür dort gut vorbereitet ist: f7-f5 kann man zwar
spielen, aber f5-f4 wird nicht gehen, während der Anziehende seinerseits
über einen ernst zu nehmenden Plan zur Verstärkung seiner Position verfügt.
Somit denke ich, dass der letzte Zug des Schwarzen die Grundursache für seine
weiteren Probleme ist.} ({There was a series of other continuations worthy of
consideration, for example: Es gab eine Reihe anderer beachtenswerten

to use up a considerable amount of time and remained in this mode for a few
more moves. The reason for this was that during my preparation I did not
really pay much attention to the continuation 12...Nac4?! and did not refresh
my knowledge of this variation more or less adequately immediately before this
encounter, but had done so before a previous game against Volodja Fedoseev .
But still, all this pondering was not very practical, because White's play is
rather simple. Hier habe ich angefangen, beträchtliche Zeit zu verbrauchen,
und blieb in diesem Modus ein paar weitere Züge lang. Der Grund dafür war,
dass ich während meiner Vorbereitung der Fortsetzung 12...Nac4?! nicht
wirklich viel Aufmerksamkeit widmete und überhaupt diese Variante mehr oder
weniger ordentlich nicht unmittelbar vor diesem Treffen, sondern vor einer
früheren Partie gegen Volodja Fedoseev auffrischte. Aber trotzdem war dieses

glad that Vlad decided on this natural ccontinuation. I considered it
important to have provoked it and in addition my head was buzzing with
residual images from my preparation, in which the white knight was on e6. In
reality, however, this advance which is on offer cannot worsen Black's
position - on the contrary, it is the best practical chance to confuse the
situation. Während der Partie war ich sehr froh, dass sich Vlad für diese
natürliche Fortsetzung entschied. Ich hielt es für wichtig, sie provoziert
zu haben, außerdem huschten in meinem Kopf Restbilder aus meiner Vorbereitung
vorbei, bei denen sich der weiße Springer auf e6 befand. In Wirklichkeit aber
kann dieser sich bietende Vorstoß die Stellung des Schwarzen nicht
verschlechtern - im Gegenteil, das ist die beste praktische Chance, die Lage
zu verwirren.} ({The note to Black's 12th move is quite well illustrated by
