9. O-O-O f4 {In the present game Black associates this move with the idea of
playing his bishop to h4 followed by the advance of his g-pawn, thus
neutralizing White's initiative on the kingside.} 10. Bf2 Bf6 11. Nge2 {
Black was threatening by 11...Bh4 to exchange the dark-squared bishop, which
with his pawn configuration would be to his advantage.} Bh4 12. Bg1 g5 $2 {
Black carries out his plan too directly, allowing White to seize the
initiative on the queenside. 13.c5 should have been prevented be 12...Na6 or
12... Nd7.} 13. c5 g4 14. Kb1 gxf3 15. gxf3 Na6 16. c6 $1 Nf6 $2 {A serious

in an extreamly insecure position. It is unpleasent for Black to allow the
knight in at f5, and therefore}) (18. Ng3 Bc8 {suggests itself. Then White had
calculated that he would win by} 19. Bxa6 Bxa6 20. Nf5 {with two threats - 21.

calculation showed that Black would be unable to defend his pawn at c5.} dxc5
21. Nc1 {In attacking the c5 pawn, White must keep careful watch on the
opponent's dark-squared bishop, which in some cases could become very
dangerous. Thus 21. Na4 was weaker because of 21...Bf2.} Qe7 22. Nb3 Bd7 {
Preventing 23.Na4, but an unpleasent surprice awaits Black.} 23. Qg2+ Kh8 24.

for White to realiz e his material advantage.} 25. Qxc5 Nd6 26. Rc1 {Capturing

White had only a few minutes left before the time control. In aiming to reach
move 40 as soon as possible, he makes a mistake which could have cost him
dearly.} Rda4 $2 {It is surprising that such an experienced player as Gligoric
should miss the chance to play} (37... Rxe4 {After all, even if this sacrifice
were incorrect, it would have led to complic ations in which White would have
had to seek practical chances, since after quiet continuations his position
would be hopeless. After}) (37... Rxe4 38. fxe4 Nxe4 39. Qe1 Qxd5 {Black would

{I had a mediocre to bad tournament in Wijk, as I lost two games (to
Harikrishna and Hou Yifan) and managed to win just one (though against Fabiano)
. Obviously I had enough reasons to be ambitious. Ich hatte ein mittelmäßiges
bis schlechtes Turnier in Wijk, denn ich verlor zwei Partien (gegen
Harikrishna und Hou Yifan) und konnte nur eine gewinnen (allerdings gegen
Fabiano). Offenkundig hatte ich allen Grund, ehrgeizig zu sein.} 1. d4 Nf6 2.
c4 g6 {I was very happy with this move as I knew that now it will be a rough
fight. I was eager to (at least try) finish the tournament on a high note
especially since I felt pretty confident towards the end. Über diesen Zug
freute ich mich sehr, denn ich wusste, dass es jetzt ein rauer Kampf werden
würde. Ich brannte darauf, das Turnier mit einem Höhepunkt abzuschließen (oder
es zumindest zu versuchen), vor allem, da ich gegen Ende ziemlich viel
Selbstvertrauen hatte.} 3. f3 $1 {Securing that abovementioned rough fight.
Sichert den oben erwähnen rauen Kampf.} d6 4. e4 e5 {A strategically risky
line, a surprising choice by Magnus. I was thinking during the game that he
might have followed some old notes of Kasparov, who had this variaiton in his
World Championship match with Karpov, but maybe I am overfantasising. Ein
strategisch riskantes Abspiel, eine überraschende Wahl von Magnus. Während der
Partie dachte ich, dass er würde womöglich irgendwelchen alten Anmerkungen von
Kasparov folgen, der diese Variante ja in seinem Weltmeisterschaftsmatch mit
Karpov hatte, aber vielleicht geht auch meine Phantasie mit mir durch.} 5. d5

erwartete irgendeine kreative Idee wie ...Be7!? mit der Absicht ...Bg5, aber
Magnus beschloss, einfach zu dem oben erwähnten alten Abspiel überzuleiten.} 7.
Nc3 O-O 8. Qd2 f5 {I don't believe in this line. Black doesn't have the usual
attack on the king and then somehow this f5 push loses its strength. On the
other hand he intends to close the whole board and build some sort of a
fortress. Ich glaube nicht an dieses Abspiel. Schwarz hat nicht en üblichen
Angriff auf den König, und dann verliert dieser f5-Vorstoß irgendwie seine
Kraft. Andererseits beabsichtigt er, das ganze Brett zu schließen und eine Art
Festung zu errichten.} (8... Qh4+ $5 {is the move I have studied a little, as

fast and indeed it's a rare one. However his concept isn't as bad as I thought
at first. He intends to close the queenside with eventual ...c5 and then it
will be hard for White to break through with his usual b4 plan. Ich war
überrascht zu sehen, dass Magnus sich so schnell für diesen Zug entschied, und
in der Tat ist er auch ungewöhnlich. Allerdings ist sein Konzept nicht so
schlecht, wie ich zunächst dachte. Er beabsichtigt, den Damenflügel mit
späterem ...c5 zu schließen, und dann wird es für Weiß schwer sein, mit seinem
üblichen b4-Plan durchzubrechen.} 10. Bf2 Bf6 11. Qe1 {Preventing ...Bh4.
Verhindert ...Bh4.} Nd7 12. Kb1 Be7 13. g3 $5 {From now on I was playing in
the modern spirit. While earlier players might have played g4! Ng7 h4! and
would have written +/- due to the long term queenside plan, I feel that
nowadays such a dogmatic view is not a guarantee of victory. Instead I was
aiming for some more concrete action, now for example I want Bh3 and once the
h5-knight goes I may think of even some action like gxf and Bxd7. Von jetzt an
spielte ich im modernen Geist. Während frühere Spieler vielleicht g4! Ng7 h4!
gespielt und +/- geschrieben hätten aufgrund des langfristigen
Damenflügelplans, meine ich, dass heutzutage so eine dogmatische Sicht keine
Siegesgarantie mehr ist. Stattdessen strebte ich konkretere Handlungen an, zum
Beispiel will ich Bh3, und wenn der h5-Springer einmal weggeht, kann ich sogar
an eine Aktion wie gxf und Bxd7 denken.} c5 $2 {Too early. Magnus assumed that
he would be able to take advantage of my undeveloped kingside in the
complications but in fact his pieces lack coordination. Zu früh. Magnus nahm
an, dass er in den Komplikationen Vorteil aus meinem unterentwickelten
Königsflügel würde ziehen können, tatsächlich aber mangelt es seinen Figuren
an Koordination.} (13... a6 {followed by some waiting moves, like ...Kh8 and ..

meine Aufgabe deutlich erschweren.}) 14. dxc6 $1 bxc6 15. c5 $1 {From now on I

jetzt an begann ich, meine Stellung richtig zu mögen, und Carlsen begann,
seine zu verabscheuen.} dxc5 16. Na4 Qc7 17. Qc3 Rb8 {Rooks belongs on open
files, so why not? Türme gehören auf offene Linien, also warum nicht?} 18. Bh3
$1 {Simple and strong, now I threatened to take on d7 and get control of the
key c5-square. From now on the black position looks busted but after burning a
lot of time Magnus found some way to get practical chances. Einfach und stark;
jetzt drohte ich, auf d7 zu nehmen und das Schlüsselfeld c5 in den Griff zu
bekommen. Von jetzt an sieht die schwarze Stellung pleite aus, aber nachdem er
eine Menge Zeit verbraten hatte, fand Magnus einen Weg, praktische Chancen zu
bekommen.} (18. Ne2 {was another option, but the text move is better. war eine

nicht in der Lage, seine Figuren zu entwirren, da Ne2 mit fxg hxg Rf8 begegnet

heraus einiges Gegenspiel, und meine Aufgabe wird deutlich schwerer. Dies ist

is becoming pretty random. Jetzt begann ich, mich ziemlich unwohl zu fühlen
und enttäuscht über den Lauf der Partie, und ich beschloss zu versuchen, die
Situation unter Kontrolle zu behalten. Mein Gefühl war in der Tat berechtigt,
denn nach meinem absolut scheußlichen letzten Zug ist mein fanzer Vorteil
futsch, und die Partie wird ziemlich zufällig.} 27. Ka1 Nd7 $2 {A mistake

thinking I am better in this endgame due to my two bishops but after a long
think I realised that it's not really the case and so I decided that it has

dies nicht wirklich der Fall ist, und daher beschloss ich, dass es genug Spaß
gewesen war.} 31. axb3 (31. Nh3 Be6 32. Rb1 Rxb1+ 33. Rxb1 Rc8 $1) (31. Rb1 Be6
