Defence. This variation has been a favourite of the Swedish GM Tiger Hillarp
Persson, who has played it on a regular basis for many years. It has never
been a very popular opening, but since the release of the Book "Tiger's
Modern" 2005, the opening has grown in popularity.} 5. h4 {This move is a bit

line mentioned after 5...h5 with the differences that White has played Kb1

might well be the best move.}) (12. Nd3 $5) 12... Qc7 13. Nd3 {Once again

Black the d5-square for his knights as well as weakening the light squares

space advantage and the absence of the black bishop on g7.} Nfd5 15. Nxd5 Nxd5

1. e4 g6 2. Nc3 Bg7 3. d4 d6 4. Be3 c6 {Slightly surprisingly Tiger chooses
not to play "Tiger's Modern" with ...a6 (which he wrote a book about a few
years ago).} 5. Qd2 b5 6. h4 {This has for a long time been my favourite move
both against the Modern with ...a6 and ...c6, but here trying to do without ...
a6 Black hopes to get a better version.} h5 7. Nh3 ({In order to avoid the
exchange on h3 as in the game} 7. Nf3 {is an interesting option that was
mentioned by Tiger after the game.} {Now after the logical continuation} Nf6 8.
Ng5 Ng4 {White can continue} 9. Bf4 ({but also} 9. a4 b4 10. Nd1 {[%cal Gf1c4]
planning Bc4 is interesting. In the event of an exchange on e3, White might
very well take back with the pawn to make use of the half open f-file.})) 7...

development and doesn't have to worry about that annoying N on g5.} 8. Rxh3 Nf6
9. f3 Nbd7 10. g3 $146 {The idea behind this move is simply to prepare the
development for the white bishop to h3. Having the pair of bishops I felt I
didn't need to hurry, but could slowly improve my position since an opening of
the position would normally suit the bishops well. It should also be said that
playing the last round of the tournament I was a half point ahead of my only
contender for the first place. With this in mind I was rather happy to be
playing a slow strategic battle, not involving too many risks.} ({I have
previously tried} 10. O-O-O {as well as}) (10. Bd3 {with positive results on
both occasions.}) ({Another move worth mentioning is} 10. Nd1 {which has
scored very well for White. The idea is to regroup the N to f2 where it will
protect the e4-pawn and prepare the g4 break.}) 10... Qc7 11. Rh1 Nb6 {Black
might now very well move to c4 in the next move, so I decided to prevent this
move.} 12. b3 {A slight weakening, but a necessity in order to control the b3
square. This also reduced the mobility of the N on b6.} a5 (12... O-O $5 13.

the point.}) 13. Kf2 {The white king is castling artificially behind the f3-

from White and decides to castle himself.} 14. Bd3 Rfe8 {Black prepares to
open the centre with ...e5.} 15. Ne2 e5 16. dxe5 Rxe5 17. Kg2 Ree8 {Preparing .

Meszaros I actually spent some time thinking about this line and also read the

time, so I'll just take this opportunity to share my thoughts on some of the
existing theory on this variation.} (10. Bb3 a5 $5 {Although advancing the
a-pawn at such junctures seems very common in practice, I am somewhat
reluctant to commit Black to a fixed structure so early in the game. For
example, if White plays a2-a4, then it may be very difficult for Black to
achieve the freeing break b7-b5. A similar problem is that, having played a5
already, if Black were ever to attack White's centre with c6-c5, this would
now create a gaping outpost on b5 for a White knight. One final aspect to this
analysis is that Black might well want the a-pawn on a6, to support the a
b5-pawn, with the idea of subsequently playing c6-c5, with a view to
harrassing the b3-bishop via c5-c4. In essence, by playing a7-a5 so early, I
feel that Black abandons some of the potential dynamism in his position.} 11.

1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 c6 $5 {After the success that this little move
brought me in my round two game against Malysheva I thought I would give it
another try.} 4. Bc4 d6 5. Qf3 e6 6. Nge2 Nd7 7. Bf4 Ngf6 $1 {This is slightly
more accurate than the immediate 7...Qe7, as the d6 pawn is indirectly
protected via the trick 8.Bxd6 Nb6, hitting both the d6 and c4 bishops
simultaneously.} 8. O-O-O $5 {Although this is consistent with White's
strategy hitherto, I can't help but feel castling queenside is a mistake. This
was the first time I had ever faced this position over the board, so in order
to get my bearings I drew the following conclusions:  -Neither side's position
is particularly riddled with weaknesses, however a key difference in Black's
favour is that White's queenside pieces are positioned in the path of Black's
on-coming pawns. Thus b7-b5 will hit the bishop, driving it to b3, then a7-a5
will threaten a4, winning the light-squared bishop, whereas b5-b4 dislodges
the c3-knight, gaining yet another tempo for Black's attack.   -Another point
to consider is whether White's forces are really distributed in a fashion that
can support a kingside attack. The first point to note is that White cannot
change the pawn structure to his favour at this point: both e4-e5 (met with
dxe5 and Nf6-d5, when the e5-pawn is weak) and d4-d5 (met by cxd5 and e6-e5,
closing the centre but leaving Black with a mobile kingside majority) allow
Black to force a favourable resolution of the central tension. The second
point to consider is whether White's queen is active or misplaced on f3. One
line of thought would be that it can support the advance of White's kingside
pawns whilst retaining easy access to the g- and h-files. However a more
realistic assessment would be that the queen obstructs White's pawn play:
ordinarily White would life to play f2-f4 and then e4-e5, securing a strong
central space advantage, however clearly White's queen and bishop obstruct
this plan. Another way of looking at this issue is to question whether White's
f2-pawn would rather be on f3, where it can support the e4- and g4-points. In
this situation f2-f3 is obstructed by the White queen but, to some extent, it
is also reasonable to assert that the White queen is actually tied to the
protection of e4 (because the c3-knight can be dislodged by b7-b5-b4) and is
therefore currently performing the task of the f2-pawn, suggesting major
allocative inefficiency. These are just a few abstract thoughts, and
inevitably the position also contains a plethora of equally relevant
considerations, but hey, you have to start somewhere!} ({In round 12 I faced} 
8. Rd1 {against the Vietnamese prodigy Nguyen Ngoc Truongson - for more info

this issue.}) 8... Qe7 9. Bb3 $1 e5 10. Bg5 $5 h6 11. Be3 {White's idea was to
provoke a slight weakening of Black's kingside, and in particular the g6-pawn,
however I suspect this may actually help Black by enhancing the immediacy with
which the Black kingside pawns can become mobile.} O-O 12. Qg3 ({Consistent,

{This was my second time in Gibraltar after a fantastic performance in 2012.
Although we always hope to do better than in previous events, considering my
not very good play in Wijk aan Zee I didn't really have high expectations here.
I just wanted to enjoy some interesting positions. In round nine I was facing
a strong and talented player from Hungary and this was the first game between
us. Let's have a look now:)} 1. e4 g6 2. Nc3 Bg7 3. d4 a6 4. f4 $5 {Another
setup. In earlier rounds Richard played same structure with Spanish GM Vazquez
and was fortunate to win. So this time I decided to choose a more aggressive
line which allows White more space.} d5 $5 ({To fix the centre and look
forward for a long battle. Another option here is} 4... b5 5. Nf3 Bb7 6. Bd3 d6
{leading to the main line and probably it's not what my opponent preferred.})
5. e5 h5 {Preventing g4 and sometimes planning to move the knight via h6 to f5
followed by h4. An ideal plan for Black!} 6. Nf3 Bg4 {A well-known plan to
exchange the "bad" bishop. According to the pawn structure, if Black keeps the
light-squared bishop on the board it might be the "French" one.} (6... Nh6 {
is also possible. Because here White has to play} 7. Be3 {(before Black's
knight goes to f5, in that case d4&h4 square will be out of control.)} (7. h3
Nf5 $1)) 7. h3 Bxf3 8. Qxf3 e6 9. g3 $1 {Slowly developing my position.
Without allowing Black to push h4 White's position will be more flexible,
which gives White more possibilities to enhance the advantage on the kingside.}
Ne7 10. Be3 Nbc6 11. g4 ({I thought about this for a long time: this move
seems like a bit premature, but meanwhile it might save some time. Because now
Black threatens ...Nf5, if} 11. Bf2 Qd7 12. a3 {intending to create some
attacks after Black castles long but it's too slow:} O-O-O 13. b4 f6 $1 {
Breaking the centre, suddenly the position turns in favour of Black.}) 11...
Qd7 12. O-O-O O-O-O 13. Bd3 ({A natural move played by hand. Here it's worth
paying attention to} 13. Na4 {The unavoidable Nc5 will bring White a promising
position since Black cannot open the centre with f6, then the g7-bishop is
unactive.}) 13... hxg4 14. hxg4 f6 15. exf6 ({Although it's better to keep the
pawn structure which can block the dark-squared bishop, that is really
difficult. Now Black wants to break the pawn chain with ...g5, the other
option which came to my mind was} 15. Rxh8 Rxh8 16. Na4 {Now I found this plan,
but already a bit late} Nxd4 (16... fxe5 17. Nc5 e4 18. Qf1 Qd6 19. Bxa6 Nd8 $1

18. Bxd4 fxe5 19. Bxe5 Bxe5 20. fxe5 {The weakness on the dark squares and the
doubled b-pawn offer White some compensation in a double-edged position.})

20. Bd2 Nac6 21. Bc1 $6 ({Starting from this point somehow I became puzzled
with my position, could not find a clear plan to develop the pieces. Later on
I realised that the knight on e2 is out of work, it should be moved to a more
active place. Then there are two option: f3/b3. Before doing that we should
first defend the d4-pawn:} 21. Rxh8 Rxh8 22. Qe3 Rh2 23. Bc3 $1 {[%cal Ge2c1,

advantages slip away.} 25. Rxh8 Rxh8 26. Qf3 {keeps the structure with a pair

1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d5 4. exd5 Nf6 5. Bc4 Nbd7 6. Nf3 {This is the
normal move. White doesn't try to cling on to the d5-pawn. Instead he gives it
up and tries to develop his pieces on the best possible squares.} Nb6 7. Bb3 a5
{Inclusion of this move is useful on two counts. First of all it forces a4.
Once White plays a4, his knight will feel more secure on the d5-square as
c2-c4 will create a hole on the b4-square. Secondly the scope of the bishop on
b3 is reduced because of the pawn on a4.} 8. a4 O-O 9. O-O Nbxd5 10. Nxd5 Nxd5
{How do we assess this position? White definitely has a slight edge here. His
pieces are harmoniously placed. His R will come to e1 and the B will most
probably go to g5. But Black isn't doing so bad either. His B on g7 is pretty
decent. Its scope can be increased with the c5-break. The N on d5 is well
placed and cannot easily be kicked away with c4 as then it goes to b4. Also,
it is imperative that Black quickly finds an occupation for his c8-bishop and
this is quite well done with the move ...b6! followed by ...Bb7. We could say
that this position is easier to play as White but with accurate play Black can
aim to equalise.} 11. h3 {This move is in my view unneccessary. True, it stops
...Bg4 but ...Bg4 is not such a huge threat. If Black decides as he does in
the game to develop his B on b7, this would just lead to the waste of a tempo.
This makes it easier for Black to equalise.} (11. Bg5 {With this move we
transpose back into the variation that could have been reached in the game
Saric-Stokke. Let's have a look at this option carefully because it seems to
be White's best chance of gaining an edge.} b6 $1 (11... Bg4 {This move makes
use of the omission of the move h3 but after} 12. h3 Bxf3 13. Qxf3 c6 14. Rad1

But there are hardly any active plans for him and White will slowly build up.
Such positions are something that we must avoid falling into.}) 12. Re1 (12.

taking on d5.} (13. Bxd5 Qxd5 14. Rxe7 (14. Bxe7 Rfe8 15. c3 Qd7 {leads to a

isn't bad if he does it straight away.} c5 (17... Rad8 18. Qe2 c5) 18. dxc5
Qxc5 {We reach a complex position. White is slightly better. His position on
the whole looks more harmonious but Black is very much in the game. I wouldn't
call this a very static edge for White. Black has his share of chances and
there is a real contest on the board. If this is the best that White can
achieve by making the best moves then this opening should well be quite
playable. Let's just end this variation with a few more moves.} 19. Ne5 Rad8

you develop your B via b7 and look for the appropriate moment to break with c5,
you should be alright.} 0-1

that if I choose now a 'normal' continuation, White would soon get full
compensation for the pawn. But then I saw a rook sacrifise. It was difficult
to convince myself to do it - just couple of moves ago I thought I had had a
clear advantage and now I have to take such risks! Some minutes of doubts and
I decided let it be. It's simply the best way.} Rxc4 $3 {Variations like} (

that he stands worse with such active pieces, even if White captured on a7.
But Ashley's attention must have been drawn to the tempting 16...Ne2+ 17 Kh1
Rb4, hoping for 18 Qxa7? Qxh2+ 19 Kxh2 Rh4 mate. Unfortunately White more than
saves the day with 18 Qd7, preventing the sacrifice, and leaving Black in
trouble. Nevertheless, this motif must have sparked off a new line of thought,
and after forty minutes Black played} g5 $1 {King: After this, Black's
position just clicks. The main point of the move is seen in the following
variation: 17 dxc7 Ne2+ 18 Kh1 Qxh2+ 19 Kxh2 Rh6+. A pleasing echo of the
variation above. The advance of the g-pawn allows the rook to swing over to h6,
and at the same time blocks the path of the bishop from c1; moreover, it can
be used to force open lines if White plays h3.  Incidentally, I showed this
position to Bob Wade (without revealing 16...g5) and he came up with another
idea: 16...Rb5!?, threatening Ne2+ and Qxh2+; the same mating pattern again,
but with the rook on h5 this time! However, 17 h3 is problematic for Black.} (

sacrificed so much material (four pawns, I believe) in a very messy game
against Seirawan in a US Junior championship. Rohde looked very puzzled, and
said he hadn't sacrificed anything. I reminded him of the amount and he waved
his arm and said disdainfully, "Oh, the little guys." An interesting
counterpoint to the Seirawan school of thought, which holds the slightest bit
of material gain in high regard. (Incidentally the Rohde-Seirawan tussle ended
in a draw.)} 32. cxd3 Bd4 {This move monitors the a-pawn, joins the attack and

{In the final round, a furious Stefansson set out to repair the damage
suffered in round eight. One of the leaders throughout, a fairly unneccessary
loss to Petursson had dropped him out of the top places. Perhaps Hannes felt
quite pleased to get this rather low rated untitled Swede. Stefansson had not
been in Copenhagen, and perhaps was not fully acquainted with what he might
face.} 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. f4 a6 {The Tiger's pet system, which
