{Endspiele mit Türmen und ungleichfarbigen Läufern sind häufig in der
Turnierpraxis anzutreffen. Gerade aufgrund der ungleichen Läufer bieten sie
einerseits erhebliche technische Schwierigkeiten in Anbetracht möglicher
Blockaden und Remistendenzen, andererseits reizvolle taktische Möglichkeiten
sowohl im Angriff als auch in der Verteidigung. Im vorliegenden Treffen
alterprobter Bundesliga-Haudegen vermag der tschechische Großmeister seine
Probleme bei der Vorteilsverwertung (Mehrbauer) in glänzendem Stil zu lösen,
während der bosnische Widersacher seine Verteidigungsressourcen nur ungenügend
nutzt.} 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. Bd2 {Weniger ehrgeizig, aber
auch weniger riskant als die Hauptvariante 5.a3. Mit dem Läuferzug, der

Bauernstruktur und möchte er die dunklen Felder im gegnerischen Lager
okkupieren.} cxd4 {Eine Alternative zu den geläufigeren Fortsetzungen Ne7, Nh6
