{This game and Alekseev-Komliakov in the same Tournament present an
interesting strategic concept played in the same opening by the same player.
White achieves a space advantage on the Queen side, closes it completely and
then castles there, establishing an initiative on the opposite flank later. In
both games this idea worked just fine for White.} 1. b4 e5 2. Bb2 d6 3. c4 g6

1. g3 Nf6 2. Bg2 e6 3. d3 {I used a special move order to avoid my opponent's
beloved Hedgehog system.} d5 4. Nd2 {It seems we tranpose to a normal King's
Indian Attack, but the Serbian international master finds an original handling.
} Nbd7 $5 {A quite rare reply.} 5. e4 dxe4 6. dxe4 Bc5 {This setup is known
from 1.e4 e6 2.d3 d5 3.Nd2 Nc6 4.Ngf3 Nf6 5.g3 dxe4 6.dxe4 e5, but now the
knight is on d7 instead of c6, which is somewhat more passive.} 7. Ngf3 e5 8.
O-O O-O {There are less than 30 games with this position, so there is still a
lot to discover. In my opinion White has to show up something palpable, until
Black develops his c8-bishop.} 9. Nh4 $5 {Basically a new idea at higher level.
I was curious whether my opponent allows me to get to f5. Besides, I also
strengthened the protection over the e4-pawn in order to mobilize my other
knight.} (9. Qe2 Re8 10. b3 a5 11. Bb2 b6 12. Nc4 Ba6 {happened in Grandelius

anyway.} (12... Bf6 {would have been more natural to cover the holes on the

already the second time (after Nh4) when I occupied a square at the edge of
board, which is normally not a glorious deed according to the old, good
principles. The depth of this idea is based on the plan to annoy Black as much
as possible on the queenside. I did not want to allow him to solve his
problematic bishop.} Nb6 (13... b6 $2 14. Nc6) 14. Bh6 Ng7 15. Nd2 $1 {Another
important strategy. Bringing a rook to d1 was very much appealing, however, it
was not urgent at all, because I do not have any opportunities for a future

the advance of f2-f4 to create some dynamical resources finally.} Re8 16. Rad1

Manual of Chess. Printing-Craft: London, p. 310  Clash of the titans Modern
philosophy vs evergreen imagination The great Czech player Richard Reti,
1889-1929, never scored superb results in big international tournaments, but
his contribution to opening theory has widely expanded the horizons of
chessplayers. 1.Nf3 followed by g3, or even 1.g3 - this concept was anathema
for the tenets of the classical chess school: "White has an opportunity to
seize an immediate advantage in the centre". Reti did not accept the
conventional wisdom of his time - on the contrary, he believed that the
opponent's centre would be prone to attack later, using the power of the two
fianchettoed bishops against the advanced central pawns. This revolutionary
approach had a devastating effect on many strong players who regularly missed
the turning point of the game in such unusual environment. Even Capablanca
suffered a humiliating defeat against Reti's favourite construct, in the
famous game in the New York tournament of 1924, where the Cuban champion used
the words "I resign" for the first time in ten years. Nowadays, of course,
Reti's opening, with numerous modifications, is a common guest in all
tournaments at any level. But chess players will start the game with 1.Nf3
without thinking of the brave challenge sent out by the visionary Czech genius
to the chess world 75 years ago.  Der große tschechische Spieler Richard Reti,
1889–1929, hat nie hervorragende Ergebnisse in den großen internationalen
Turnieren erzielt, sein Beitrag zur Eröffnungstheorie und -strategie hat
indes das Verständnis der Spieler grundlegend erweitert. 1.Nf3 gefolgt von
g2-g3, oder sogar 1.g3 – diese Konzeption galt als Anathema zur klassischen
Schule des Schach, die verlangte, daß der Anziehende sofort nach Vorteil im
Zentrum streben sollte. Reti hat diese althergebrachte Weisheit nicht
akzeptiert – im Gegenteil rechnete er damit, daß die gegnerischen
Zentrumsbauern im Verlaufe der Partie vortreffliche Zielscheiben für Angriffe
durch die fianchettierten Läufer abgeben würden. Diese revolutionäre
Strategie hatte eine vernichtende Wirkung auf die Spielweise von vielen
starken Spielern, die bei solch ungewöhnlichen Verhältnissen auf dem
Schachbrett regelmäßig den Wendepunkt der Partie verkannten. Sogar der
große Capablanca mußte 1924 beim Turnier in New York eine peinliche
Niederlage gegen Retis Lieblingsverteidigung einstecken und zum ersten Mal in
zehn Jahren die Worte "Ich gebe auf" aussprechen. Heutzutage ist Retis
Eröffnung, mit zahlreichen Modifikationen, natürlich ein regelmäßiger Gast
bei Turnieren jeder Kategorie. Allerdings wird selten ein Spieler, der mit dem
sehr beliebten Zug 1.Nf3 seine Partie beginnt, an die mutige Herausforderung
denken, mit der das visionäre tschechische Genie vor 75 Jahren die Schachwelt
aufrüttelte.} 1. g3 {[%mdl 1]} e5 2. Nf3 e4 3. Nd4 d5 (3... c5 $1 4. Nb3 c4 5.

1. a3 {1)Von Gottschall:Adolf Anderssen, Altmeister Deutscher Schachspielkunst;
Leipzig 1912, S.474-475. Anderssen justified the choice of this "mad" opening
by his desire to avoid a draw and above all to avoid 1.e4 e6 or the Queen's
Gambit. Anderssen rechtfertigte die Wahl dieser "verrückten" Eröfffnung
damit, daß er um jeden Preis ein Remis und vor allem 1.e4 e6 und Damengambit
vermeiden wollte.} d5 2. e3 c5 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bxd7+ Nxd7 5. Nf3 Ngf6 6. c4 e6

1. e4 d5 {Der naive Zeitgenosse mag sich vielleicht über die Existenz dieses
ersten Kapitels ein wenig wundern. Gibt es denn auf Skandinavisch wirklich
etwas anderes, als den dreisten Damenbauern mit 2.exd5 umgehend an den Rand
des Brettes zu befördern? In der Tat gibt es das! So hat Voltaire einmal
sinngemäß bemerkt, daß auf der Welt nichts so Schreckliches, Abscheuliches
oder Abwegiges existiere, daß es nicht vorher schon irgendwann einmal in eines
Menschen Kopf gekommen (sei). Die Produkte lebhafter Weißspielerphantasien
lassen sich in zwei grobe Klassen unterteilen: Zu den fragwürdigen Antworten
zählen 2.d3 und 2.Nc3. Durch diese beiden Zügen vergibt Weiß zwar seine
Chancen auf Eröffnungsvorteil, gerät aber keineswegs in eine schwierige
Stellung. Anders verhält es sich mit den schlechten Fortsetzungen 2.e5 und 2.
Nf3, wonach Schwarz sogar schließlich das Kommando übernimmt. In die gleiche
Kategorie fällt übrigens auch 2.d4, was zum Blackmar-Diemer-Gambit führt.
Obwohl dies eigentlich nicht mehr viel mit Skandinavisch zu tun hat, wird es
von mir im 2.Kapitel besprochen. Um die Minderwertigkeit eines jeden der
Alternativzüge zu 2.exd5 zu beweisen, bedarf es selbstverständlich keiner
weitschweifigen Analysearbeit. Ein einzelner Gedanke aus dem Bereich der
Eröffnungslogik reicht dazu volkommen aus. Verzichtet nämlich Weiß auf den
sofortigen Bauerntausch, so spart Schwarz ein ganzes Tempo gegenüber
angesehenen Eröfnungen wie Französisch und Caro-Kann, in denen der zentrale
Befreiungsschlag d7-d5 erst nach den Vorbereitungszügen e7-e6 bzw c7-c6 zur
Verwirklichung gelangt.} 2. Nc3 $6 {[%mdl 32772] In verschwenderischer Weise
verzichtet Weiß auf einen möglichen Eröffnungsvorteil. Obwohl dieser Zug im
Vergleich zu seinen Kollegen noch einigermaßen ernst zu nehmen ist, verdient
er daher mit dem Stigma der Fragwürdigkeit behaftet zu werden.} (2. Nf3 $2 {
Ein guter Zug - als Überraschungswaffe in einer Zweiminutenblitzpartie! Für
jeden anderen Modus ist er natürlich um einiges zu artifiziell. Weiß opfert
völlig unmotiviert einen Bauern und hat anschließend alle Hände voll zu tun
ihn wieder zurückzuerobern.} dxe4 3. Ng5 Bf5 $1 {Die Widerlegung. Ziemlich
