{It was the last round of the summit clash and we had to win 3.5/.5 to
equalise the scores! This would explain some of my impulsive decisions in this
game.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 a6 3. g3 b5 4. Bg2 Bb7 5. Nh3 e6 6. O-O Nf6 7. d3 b4 {
The beginning of the impulsive chess!} ({A more restrained way was} 7... d6 8.

was quite safe.} ({But in reality after} 11... Nc6 {Black had no worries.}) 12.

forces he will be fine. Easier said than done :).} 13. f3 {White can boast of
an edge due to the better pieces and pawn structure.} c4 $5 {Gaining some
space on the queenside.} 14. Kg2 Rc8 15. b3 Be7 16. Rf2 h6 (16... c3 17. Rff1 {
White is better since Black's pawn structure completely blunts the range of

the weakening of the pawn structure but this way White is not able to activate
his rook.} 18. Rfd2 Ne5 19. Nf2 {White is better.}) 18. Rd6 a5 19. Rfd2 (19.

situation I can't hope to win with Black here :).} ({A better try was} 30...

why I didn't opt for this line.}) 31. Nd3 Bc7 (31... Nd7 {was probably the
last chance.} 32. Rd6 Nf8 $16 {holding my terrible position together.}) 32.

than from a worse position!" Wish I had known this sooner :).} 1-0

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 {This line is becoming incresingly popular thanks
to the efforts of Tiviakov and Najer, but it is losing its appeal after
Fedorov showed a way to equalize comfortably with 3...Nd4 4.Bc4 (4.Ba4 has
been tried by Tiviakov a couple of times) e6 5.Nf3 Nf6 6.0-0 a6.} g6 {This is
a usually thought of as a mistake, but it could also be seen as a fighting
weapon since black inmediately forces an unbalance in the position: two
bishops for a worse pawn structure.} 4. Bxc6 bxc6 5. d3 Bg7 6. f4 {This is the
main advantage of this 2.Nc3 and 3.Bb5 line over the Rossolimo. White can push
his f pawn straight away, without wasting any time (in the Rossolimo the usual
plan is to play Ng5 followed by f2-f4).} Nf6 7. Nf3 O-O 8. O-O d6 {This
position has been reached several times, and I knew 9.Qe1 was the main line.
But during the game I became worried about 9...c4 and decided to put my queen
on <e2> instead. Nonetheless, I feel 9.Qe1 to be the right move in this
position, keeping more options open.} 9. Qe2 $146 Ne8 {Black's plan is to get
the knight to <e6>, with f7-f5 coming at some point. During this journey,
black should not allow the push f4-f5 in good conditions.} 10. Nd1 Nc7 11. c4
$6 {A typical idea, but here black could have obtained a nice position thanks
to the weakness of the <d4> square. Still, I do not feel too proud about the
entire 9.Qe2 plan in any case. I think black should be doing fine.} Bg4 $6 {
Black wants to get a complete grip on the <d4> square, and to obtain this he
is willing to part with his light squared bishop. But this proves to be a
mistake since white will also get to play f4-f5, which promises nice attacking
chances on the kingside.} (11... f5 $1 {Was the right move.} 12. e5 Ne6 {
Usually white wants to defend his <d4> square in these positions so as not to
allow Nd4, Nxd4, cxd4 followed by c6-c5 and the <c8> bishops becomes alive.
But here matters are not so easy.} 13. Be3 dxe5 {And black is doing great. For
example:} 14. Nxe5 Bxe5 15. fxe5 f4 16. Bf2 f3 $1) 12. Ne3 Bxf3 13. Qxf3 Ne6 $2

costs a pawn, at least f4-f5 has been stopped.} 14. exf5 gxf5 15. Qxc6 Kh8 {
White´s best plan in this case should probably be} 16. Rb1 Ne6 17. Nc2 {
when I guess black´s compensation is not quite enough for a pawn.}) 14. f5 $16

it has no useful purpose there.} d5 16. Ng4 dxe4 17. dxe4 Qd6 18. Kh1 $1 {

anschließend zu besetzen.} b6 13. Qg3 {Diese Stellung hatte Weiß angestrebt.
Er wird nun die schwarzen Felder im Raum b2-e5-h2 mittels Ne2 und c2-c3
sichern; weiterhin soll der Bauer c5 mittels Be3 und Qf2 verdrängt werden, um
Kontrolle über das Feld d4 zu erlangen.} Ne7 14. Qh3 {Weiß bereitet einen
Königsangriff vor.} Rb8 {Schwarz bereitet b5 gefolgt von c4 vor.} 15. Ne2 {

Der Nachziehende ist immer noch nicht in der Lage den Springer e8 zu
entwickeln, was seine Möglichkeiten stark behindert. Die schwarzen Felder c5,
b6, d6, a7, e7 sind schwach und Weiß droht sie zu besetzen - mittels Bc5

A novelty. This move is only mentioned in some game comments. White fixes the
black pawn on d4 and will soon pick it up by Nc2. However Black will get very
active play in compensation for the pawn, and the light-squared bishop will
get a nice diagonal.} ({The alternative is} 12. Nc2 d3 13. Ne3 Nh6 14. b3 O-O

it's now absolutely necessary as otherwise Black will just be clearly better.}

a very natural one and probably also the best.} ({Here Bangiev gives} 16... h5

But after} 17. g5 {I think White's prospects are a bit better than in the game
as now it will be more difficult for Black to force the pawn break ...f7-f6.})
17. d4 Bb7 {Black has got strong pressure for his sacrificed pawn and now
threatens to play Rd8, so WHite must protect the d4-pawn further.} 18. Qd3 Rd8

with doubling the rooks on the d-file or breaking with ...f6. The white king
is now very vulnerable and needs to find refuge rather quickly. Having thought
for almost half an hour I finally admitted that my king would never be safe on
any of the diagonals a7-g1 or a8-h1, because of Black's strong X-Ray attack by
queen and bishop. Having realised that this was a fact, it was easy to decide
that the king hould move upwards to g3.} 20. Kg2 $1 {By playing this move
White is not only heading for g3 with his King, but also enables the option of
d4-d5 as the knight on e3 will no longer be pinned.} f6 ({Doubling on the

Black cannot make any progress.}) 21. Kg3 {White completes the King manoeuvre
as ...fxe5 can be met by the intermediate check on b3.} Kh8 $6 {This is a bit
slow and gives White active play.} ({Better was} 21... fxe5 {to open up the

collapse, but White will get counterplay along the f-file.} 24. Ng5 $1 {

has a pawn and the pair of bishops which compensate for the material deficit.})

{This was the last round of the tournament and I needed a draw to get my final
GM norm. A victory for my opponent could ensure him a very good finish in this
championship. But as I had analysed in great depth my last round game against
D.K. Sharma and kept it mind the main lessons which I learnt from that game, I
really felt better in this encounter. Analysis of my own game ensured me the
right rhythm to continue the game as a real sportsman. A pure form of
positional battle enlightens your soul, not only the mind.} 1. e4 c5 {My
opponent decided to play the Sicilian Defence. Normally the psychological
taste of the GM can be understood from his opening choice. With the Sicilian
he shows that he wants to achieve victory at all costs. After all he had the
chance to fight for the first place.} 2. Nc3 a6 {A move which helps Black gain
the queenside advance immediately. And the key idea is to create pressure
against the vital e4-pawn.} 3. g3 {A move that counters perfectlymy opponent's
intention intention. Intending to put the light-squared bishop on its natural
diagonal and protect the central e4-pawn as well.} ({But sometimes, I feel
energetic with the dubious} 3. g4 {Many times, I have chosen this move at this
moment. This interestingly dubious approach could ensure White some meaningful
action against the kingside in the middlegame. But it also ensures some holes
in my area. Hence, I decided not to loosen my grip over any portion of the
board.}) 3... b5 4. Bg2 Bb7 5. Nge2 {This ensures the safety of the main
e4-pawn and shows I intending to remain flexible at the early stage of the
game. I could continue either with d4 or close the game with d3. The f-pawn
can also be advanced.} e6 {Covering the central d5-square and intending to
gain time with b4 and d5. Black's kingside develops late in this way, but he
is fine as the idea of ...b4 followed by ...d5 is pretty strong.} 6. O-O {
Just not getting my king into safety but also hoping to advance e5 whenever
required, as now the bishop on g2 is not unsupported.} Nc6 {This doesn't feel
connected to his previous play. By developing his bishop to b7 and threatening
...b4, he tried to put pressure on e4, and now with Nc6 he is shifting his
attention to the d4-square. This somehow doesn't seem like the correct
approach.} ({More to the point would have been} 6... Nf6 $5 {This is an
interesting moment. The idea is to provoke e4-e5.} 7. e5 Bxg2 8. Kxg2 Ng4 9. d4
cxd4 10. Qxd4 h5 $132 {[%csl Re5][%cal Gb8c6,Rg7g5,Rf8e7] This is a difficult
position to assess. White seems to be ahead in development and Black's king is
not castled. However, as per my Mega Database White has not been able to win
even a single game. Black's king might be in the centre but it is well
protected. The ifs and buts are present for both sides. ...Nc6 with an attack
on e5 is threatened, hence Black gets his time to regroup.}) 7. d4 $1 {Seizing
the moment and directly opening things up in this phase of the game. Sicilian
Open Games with Bg2 should ensure some meaningful pace for White.} cxd4 8. Nxd4
{I felt that I already had some edge at this moment.} Rc8 {A completely new
position for me... Black is developing his queenside rook in order to gain
some tempo with ...Nxd4 followed by ...Bc5 whenever possible.The rook also
eyes down the c2-pawn when ...b4 would be played.} (8... Qc7) 9. Nxc6 $1 {
A very nice move. This gains precious time for White. First of all it blocks
the c-file and secondly the d5-square could be used by the knight to occupy
and cause great inconvenience to Black.} Bxc6 {[%cal Gc8c2,Rb5b4] The bishop
now blocks the rook and it would take one more move to renew the attack on c2.}
10. Re1 $5 {A move that was played without much thought. White is waiting to
drop a bomb over d5. However, it could have been much more meaningful to go to
d5 with the knight immediately.} (10. Nd5 $1 {Honestly speaking I didn't see
this sacrifice. But it is more to the point and puts Black on the ropes.} Bb7 (
10... Bc5 {This might be one critical variation.} 11. Qg4 $36 {Either Black
has to create some holes or lose his right to castle.} exd5 $2 {Certainly the
knight is just untouchable at this moment.} 12. exd5 Bb7 13. Qxg7 Qf6 {[%cal

also interesting.} b4 11. Nd5 $1 $14) 10... Bc5 {Developing the piece with the
intention of castling after developing ...Ne7. This is a real critical moment
for White. What should he play now?} 11. Be3 {Hoping to make good use of the
time with the central exchange. Simplifying things would not hurt Black, but
it is enough to keep some initiative for White. However, I do think that the
immediate knight move to d5 was stronger.} (11. Nd5 Ne7 {My opponent's idea is
obvious. He would like to 0-0 and then pick up the knight on d5. Since the
entire game depends on this point, I must discuss my pieces. The bishop on c1
wants to develop. But where?} 12. b4 $1 {I did not see this wonderful move.
The main idea is to remove the enemy defender of the e7-square and use the
time for some immediate gains. Now Black must choose one of two given options.}
(12. Bg5 $5 {This normal move is pretty good and in the future can lead to the
control of the d6-square. However, this is surely not the critical test of
Black's play.} h6 (12... O-O $2 13. Nf6+ $3 gxf6 (13... Kh8 14. Qh5 $18) 14.

near future. However, there is no real weakness in Black's camp either except
the d-file and d6-square. The main question was "CAN I DO BETTER ?"}) 12...

Ng6 15. Nf4 O-O 16. Nxg6 hxg6 17. Qxg6 $14 {White is a pawn ahead and there
are long term attacking prospects towards the kingside. Although the c-file
would give Black reasonable play in the meantime, the value of one extra pawn
can never be ignored in a practical game.}) 13. bxc5 {This breaks White's
structure, but gives him the bishop pair and also complete dominance on the
dark squares.} Bc6 14. Bf4 $14 {White's advantage is beyond any doubt.}) 11...
Bxe3 12. Rxe3 Ne7 {[%cal Rf7f5] Black is ready to castle and there is one
weakness only to penetrate from the d-file and that is also not so clear what
White can achieve. Counterplay against the c2-pawn comes pretty quickly.} 13.
Qd6 {This was not a bad move. But it allows Black to exchange one more piece.
In some ways it is convenient for White because an exchange of pieces would
bring him closer to a draw, which he requires for the GM norm. But during the
game I was focussing only on the moves, not on the result. My attitude had
changed from the games and lessons I had in the past.} (13. Ne2 $5 O-O 14. Nd4

allow the knight to join the game via c8-b6-c4.} Qxd6 15. Rxd6 {Black is just
out of danger in this middlegame. White on the other hand seems holding a very
slight edge as well. This was my assessment during the game. But things are
never so simple in the game of chess. How should Black continue?} f6 {This
move is natural and it stops my central expansion. However, Black had a much
stronger move at his disposal.} (15... g5 $1 $13 {[%cal Re7g6,Rg6e5,Re5c4]
This was a nice move. Although it's a bit difficult to find. This captures the
dark squares and intends to get the e5-square for the knight. Black could try
pressing in the middlegame as his king is in the centre and generally gives
support to his lovely soldiers.}) 16. a3 {Just preventing b4. However, this
was not required. It was important to place the pieces on the right squares
and for that reason it was necessary to begin with} (16. Rd2 $1 {[%cal Rc3d5]

join from the rear area with Nc8-b6-c4.} 17. Rd2 $14 {Of course saving the
rook from the loss of tempo and securing the vital c2-pawn from any further
damage.} Bb7 {What was the purpose of this retreat? It was difficult for me to
understand. Perhaps Nc6-e5/a5-c4. But that could be achieved with Nc8-b6
easily. Was it to give rook activity down the c-file. But it was always there.
Perhaps saving a tempo by anticipating Ne2-d4. But that can be done later. Why
now?} 18. f4 {I simply decided to strengthen my grip over the central area of
the board.} (18. e5 $5) 18... h5 {The only purpose of this move is to provoke
h4 when the knight could easily choose to sit on g4 or f5 whenever required.
Black will not get anything much from this kingside advance. He has only one
piece while I have my entire army well placed in the centre of the board. I
decided to continue with my play.} 19. e5 $1 $14 {This pawn advance certainly
gains good squares for my pieces. Now the e4-square is waiting for my knight
and the enemy pawns can not move easily. White enjoys small but permanent edge.

bit without wasting any time.} fxe5 22. Rxe5 $1 {Of couse this was the real
aim to give fresh air to my forces. I didn't want to recapture with the pawn
and give myself an isolated pawn on e5.} O-O {Black castled and took away his
king from the centre. But he was worried about the dodgy position of his
knight on f5. The important question now is how should White continue his
momentum?} 23. Ree2 $5 {Not so concrete but not bad either. The intention is
to use the central squares for the knight which was impossible earlier due to .

Rf5e3,Rh3h4,Rh4h5,Rc3d1,Rd1e3,Rc2c3] This could be one of the most highly
unnatural paths for the king. But since it saves time for White and might hurt
Black after the logical knight exchange, it could be a good idea. The plan is
to play Ne4 followed by c3 and then exchange the knights with Nd6. Black might
feel sorry for the obvious holes when he pushed his kingside pawns. White is
objectively and psychologically better. This is how positional play triumphs.
Step by Step. Time after Time!}) (23. Ne2 $5 $14 {[%cal Re2g1,Rg1f3] getting
from g1-f3 is also interesting.}) (23. Nd1 $5) 23... Kf7 {Now the king comes
back to support its soldiers.} 24. Ne4 {I placed the knight to its main
occupation, guardning vital squares and gaining time as well.} Ke7 25. h3 {
Here I felt that the f5-knight is the base of Black's solidity in the position.
I try to kick it out. However, it does weaken my g3- and f4-points. It must be
said that it was a calculated risk from my side. But a better way was to wait
and keep the options open with Rd3.} (25. Rd3 $142 $5) 25... Rc4 {Intending to

norm. But there are a few things I must say about this game and the power of
analysis - the things I learnt after analysing the game between myself and D.K.
Sharma. Lessons from this Game: 1. Before starting the round, my earlier
analysis with D.K. Sharma helped me to have the right mindset. Due to that I
was able to play with a solid grip right from the opening until the end.  2.)
I was able to prove my learning capacity by overcoming the errors made by me
in other encounters with different players. I learnt how to place slow and
steady pressure on my opponent.  3.)"One step at a time" - This rule helps
after every passing of time. When suddenly White inch by inch gains a small
but steady edge, it helps him to gain a huge advantage.  4.) A centrally
placed knight bites the opponent quite powerfully. The same is felt about the
knight on e4. The longer it sits on e4, the more powerful it becomes.  5.)
Although some better regrouping of the forces was available for me, they were
quite difficult for me to understand. But we should always talk to ourselves -
"CAN I DO BETTER?" 6.) My new weakness makes me lose all my cool under
time-pressure. I was not able to maintain a cool and calm attitude and made
blunders which gave away everything that I hadve built up. This simply ruins
all my efforts, hurts badly and breaks the soul. But firstly I have to
understand the reason behind why I blunder under time pressure. In time
pressure I make the moves based on my feelings and forget about calculation.
In the game your feelings and calculation must work together even if you are
in time pressure. It's surely difficult to calculate with less time, but a
little more cautious approach can help. Other thing might be helpful to play
some blitz games with the computer at home. The engine will beat you badly in
blitz. But those losses at home are far better than actual losses at the
tournament. The third thing - What happens when you play in time pressure is
panic. Fear naturally squeezes your heart and you start doubting your patience
and your inner capabilities. However, the origin of such fear comes from your
panic attitude in severe time pressure. Hence, the first thing is to
understand is that a fearful person can not play better chess at any cost.
Hence, this fear and panic should not be allowed to threaten your inner
instincts. Recently in the past few important games, I made a lot of mistakes
in time pressure and lost immediately. This habit of mine has killed me.
However, I can happily say one thing - I have overcome most of my other
mistakes. And one day soon I will overcome my time pressure errors as well.
After all, we are born to make mistakes. But we should not repeat the same
mistakes again!} 1/2-1/2

put pressure on Black's c5 pawn.}) 11. dxe4 a5 12. c4 $1 {I was pleased with
this move. The pawn on c5 is fixed and I take away the d5 square from the
f6-knight. If Black does not take en-passant then I will be able to proceed

Black to find any counterplay.} bxc3 13. bxc3 $1 {And this is necessary if
counter-intuitive at first glance. This creates a further pawn island and

the important b4- and d4-squares.} Ba6 14. Be2 Bxe2 15. Qxe2 O-O {I had quite
a long think here deciding how I wanted to complete my development. Initially
I wanted to keep my pawn on e4 as it retains flexibility but then I decided it
was more important to put my bishop on e3.} 16. e5 (16. Ba3 {is an alternative

pins while Black can gain time to coordinate all his pieces with} Qc7 {when f4

This gives Black two advantages over the game: firstly, Black would get the
use of the d4-square for counterplay and secondly I wouldn't be able to
re-route my knight around to c4.} 17. f5 $5 {is an interesting try and perhaps
the reason Bragi declined this continuation. Following} exf5 18. Rd1 Qd7 19. c4

the e5-pawn.}) 17. Be3 Qc7 18. Nd2 {Re-routing the knight around to target the
b6- and d6-squares. Black has big structural problems here. Were the c5-pawn
back on c6 then he would have no real problems as he could try activating his
e7-bishop but here he has to sit.} Rfc8 19. Nc4 $6 {This is careless.} (19.

misses his chance.} ({I realised just after I had played the move that Black

hideous.}) 28. Nce4 Ng6 {By this stage not only had I built up a commanding

{The tournament in general, but for Magnus especially had a very quiet start
with Topalov's win over Navara being the only deceisive game. The pairings
gave Magnus 3 Blacks vs. the Azeri players not leaving much scope for
creativity, however in round 5 things were about to change:} 1. e4 {
Quintiliano,R} c5 {Radek stays loyal to his compratiot inviting his favourite
Najdorf variation.} 2. Nc3 d6 {Najdorf players have to use this move order as
e.g.} (2... Nc6 {can be met by} 3. Nf3 $1 {intending 4.d4.}) 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4
{A nice and fitting touch, as this move order vs. the Sicilian was favoured by
Vugar Gashimov.} Nc6 5. Qd2 $5 {Magnus unleashes a rare and original concept,
completely novel at top level. During Wijk Aan Zee 2017 I received an email
from Greek IM Ioannis Simeonidis suggesting this setup as an interesting
anti-Najdorf concept and offered it to Magnus to test his concept! At first it
reminded me of Greek hubris. After all how likely is it that you can come up
with a meaningful and new setup at move 5 in one of the most tested openings
historically in chess? GM, Khenkin, the commentator at the event formulated it
with classic Soviet iron chess logic: "Chess-wisdom suggests only moving each
piece once in the opening, especially the queen, however the World Champion
seem to have his own rules". First sight however is deceptive: White has an
interesting concept in mind, and very similarly to Fischer-Random chess the
players now have to adapt to problems completely untested previously in
practice.} Nf6 {Logical and common-sense, but Ofitserian took a much more
concrete approach when facing Paravyan in the Russian Junior championship 4
days later harassing the white queen with} (5... g6 6. b3 Bh6 $5 {White
however did not budge and went} 7. f4 Nf6 8. Bb2 e5 {Quintiliano,R: '?!'} (8...
O-O $142 {Quintiliano,R} 9. O-O-O a5 10. Bb5 Qb6 $132) 9. g3 O-O 10. O-O-O {
and won a complex fight. This is what fascinates the most with Simeonidis
variation, that an oasis of creativity existed in territory believed to have
been long mapped out.}) 6. b3 e6 {On the same day in the Budapest Spring Open
but 3 hours later due to the time difference, Kotronias faced} (6... g6 {
but got an excellent position after} 7. Bb2 Bg7 8. O-O-O O-O 9. f3 Qa5 10. Kb1
Be6 11. Nge2 {As in the actual game it's noteworthy that the surprised player
acts with typical Sicilian moves, while in the game played 4 days later,
Ofitserian most likely influenced by the computer, tried a setup aimed
specifically at the possible defects of White's concept.}) 7. Bb2 a6 {Again
typical Sicilian style.} ({Quintiliano,R: 'Knowing how the game goes,'} 7... d5
$5 {intending ...Bb4 was a more concrete approach. Quintiliano,R: 'maybe is a
worthy try'} 8. exd5 {Quintiliano,R} exd5 9. O-O-O Be6 10. Nge2 Qa5 {The point
is that despite the isolated pawn, Black has open lines and more freedom to
develop the pieces} 11. Kb1 Bc5 12. Nf4 O-O-O $13) 8. O-O-O b5 9. f3 {The
position reminds one of a Rauzer, however the white bishop being on b2 and the
knight on g1 instead of d4! At first this sounds considerably more passive
from whites perspective, but the bishop on b2 not only attacks in the long
diagonal but also provides additional safety for the white king. While a
knight on d4 would just be exchanged now on g1 it can consider various routes
of attack.} h5 $6 {Preventing g4 makes perfect sense, but} (9... Be7 10. Kb1 {
is the obvious reply, but then after} (10. g4 Nxg4 $1 {is a nice trick as} 11.
fxg4 Bg5 {wins the white queen.}) 10... h5 {Black has a slightly improved
version of the game.} (10... O-O {Quintiliano,R} 11. g4 Bb7 {with typical and
double-edged Sicilian positions, despite there are some differences of normal
lines, the Bb2 being the most clear one, Black should have the usual
counterplay ideas.})) 10. Nh3 $1 {Till this move, the general concept was
mapped out in preparation, but here the World Champion demonstrates his level,
adopting to the specifics of the position excellently. The g5-square very
rarely being a relevant square for a white knight in the Scheveningen style
Sicilian is of no importance. Like in chess 960 what matters is adapting to
the new situation, and the combination of Black's last move weakening the
g5-square and White's knight being on g1 prompted this unusual approach.} Be7
11. Ng5 h4 $6 {Again logical and typical, however for this specific position
just not very relevant.} 12. f4 Bb7 13. Kb1 Rc8 14. Be2 $1 Qc7 15. Rhe1 $1 {
While White's two last moves might appear unimpressive, Be2 almost feeling
passive, looks are again deceptive. White quietly finishes his development in
essence claiming he can improve his position meaningfully before the eventual
confrontation, while Black cannot. Black's position is much worse than it
looks. Normally ...Nb4 and ...Qa5 would create counterplay, exchange
sacrifices on c3 being part of the equation, but with the white bishop being
on b2 such action by Black would be completely pointless, and ...Nb4 simply
being answered by a white a3. Especially the knight at c6 seems misplaced
blocking both the bishop on b7 and the rook on c8. The relevant question would
be, why did Black put it there? But who could resist free development
harassing the opponent's queen at move 4?} Nh7 16. Nxh7 Rxh7 17. g4 $6 {
At the press conference Magnus explained that he saw the indeed crushing 17.
Nd5! but thought his position so dominating that sacrifices were not even
neccesary.} (17. Nd5 $1 {Still the knight sacrifice was the best way, as after}
exd5 18. exd5 {Black's position is close to hopeless as giving back the piece
is positional bankruptcy, but} Nb8 {loses instantly to} 19. Bd3 $1 {with} Rh5
20. Rxe7+ $1 {being the principal tactical point.}) 17... hxg3 18. hxg3 Bf6 19.
Bd3 Rh8 20. g4 $6 {A strange coincidence. Magnus' only inaccuracy in the game
was g4; unfortunately it was possible to play twice! Unlike move 17 here
simplicity was in order, figthing for the open file with} (20. Rh1 $1 {would
have given an overwhelming edge.}) 20... Nd4 21. Re3 Kf8 22. Ne2 $1 Nxe2 23.
Rxe2 {Despite the exchanges of minor pieces, the difference in king safety
still gives White the much more pleasant position.} Bc3 $2 (23... Bxb2 24. Kxb2
Qc5 $1 {was Black's best chance to minimise the damage, but in time pressure
Radek finally goes astray.} (24... Rh4 $1 {Quintiliano,R} 25. g5 Qc5 {[%cal
Yc5d4]} 26. Kb1 (26. Rh2 Rxh2 27. Qxh2 Ke7 28. Kb1 Qe3 $132) 26... d5 $5 27.
exd5 Bxd5 28. Rh2 Rxh2 29. Qxh2 g6 $14 {despite White's position still looking
easier, Black is fighting well and has real chances to equalise.})) 24. Bxc3
Qxc3 25. Qe3 Rc5 {Allows a tactical blow, but after} (25... Qc5 26. Qg3 {
Black is passive without counterplay while f5 and g5 follow for White with an
overwhelming edge.}) 26. e5 $1 dxe5 27. fxe5 Rh1 28. Rxh1 Bxh1 29. Rh2 Rxe5 ({
If} 29... Bb7 {then} 30. Rh8+ Ke7 31. Qg5+ {mates.}) 30. Rh8+ $1 Ke7 31. Qa7+ {
And with 32.Rxh1 following next, Black being a piece down resigned. Magnus'
shift of pace not only lasted to the upcoming free day's soccer tournament
scoring all 6 six goals for the winning team, but also for the remainder of
the tournament with crucial wins over first the leader Topalov and then with
the black pieces against Anish Giri eventually securing overall victory.} 1-0

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 {Svidler played this move quickly....} a6 {....while
Khismatullin took a full five minutes to consider his reply!} 3. Nge2 $5 {
Maybe Svidler doesn't really want to go into the lines of closed Sicilian.
Khismatullin too decides to keep his options open.} d6 {Four minutes! That's a
lot of time to make this move but Denis is making sure that Svidler doesn't
move order him.} 4. g3 g6 {Once White has played g3, Black doesn't feel too
worried if the game is transposed into Dragdorf (Dragon+Najdorf) territory.} 5.

Sicilian is after all the best way for white to play!} cxd4 6. Nxd4 Bg7 7. Bg2

am tempted to call this more of a Dragdorf than a pure Dragon. Whatever be the
name, one thing is pretty clear - Black has no problems out of the opening.} 8.

the board.} O-O 9. Bb2 Bd7 (9... Nc6 {was also fine.}) 10. Qd2 (10. O-O {
Wasn't this your first thought! Well, then Svidler is not going to play that!

11... b5 $1 {Black has not only equalized out of the opening but is already
slightly better.} 12. O-O-O {The main problem for White is that his b3 pawn is
a ready made hook for the black queenside pawns to attack. At the same time
the g6 pawn is also a hook but Black is the first one to launch an attack.} Ng4
$5 {This was a slightly unusual decision. Natural moves to consider would have
been Rc8 or Qa5. But Khismatullin decides to attack the f2 pawn. White has to
make an uncomfortable move like Rdf1 in order to defend it and hence this
knight lunge can be jusitifed.} 13. Rdf1 Qa5 14. h3 Nf6 15. Kb1 b4 (15... Rac8

obvious and I can't see any reason to avoid it and make this retreat.} (16. Nd5

Denis who is not at all afraid to sacrifice an exchange.} 19. e5 {Black was
already making inroads on the queenside, it was high time that Svidler did
something concrete. But the central break is tactically flawed.} dxe5 20. fxe5
Nxe5 $1 {This sacrifice of the a8 rook is very natural and easy for a player
like Khismatullin to assess. Here after Bxa8 Rxa8 his f8 rook takes the place
of the a8 rook. Hence effectively Black is sacrificing the f8 rook which is
not really participating in the attack.} 21. Bxa8 Rxa8 $17 22. Rf4 {Making
some space for the h1 rook so that a move like Bc6 would not trap it in the

) 22... axb3 23. axb3 $2 {It's very easy to give this move a question mark
when you have an engine running in front of you. During the game things are
not so simple. It makes sense to not open the a-file completely but with the
bishop on b2, a mate is not very probable. Atleast that is what Peter must
have thought. And somehow cxb3 doesn't seem correct as it opens he h7-b1
diagonal. However, in such positions it is much more important to play
concretely rather than on feel. cxb3 would have kept White in the game while
after axb3 it is all over.} (23. cxb3 Bh6 $5 24. Rd1 (24. Rd4 Bf5+ 25. Ka1

only the two knights remain.} 25. Nd5 {Diagram [#]} (25. Rf2 Nc6 $1 $19) 25...
Bc6 $3 {This is not at all an easy move to see. But Khismatullin is helped by
the fact that he has to clear the pieces of the crucial h1-a8 diagonal. The
knight on d5 is pinned to the rook on h1 and is hanging. There is no real way
to protect it. Svidler made the most obvious move after four minutes but he
must have soon realised that it was a nice little trap!} 26. Nxc6 Qa2+ 27. Kc1

Very sporting of Svidler to allow Khismatullin to mate him. While we could say
that Peter was off colour today, Denis must be given his due. He played a
nearly fawless game.} (29... Nd3# $1) 0-1

Nge7 8. Qe1 O-O 9. Bb3 $6 {I am none too impressed by this. The point of
'persuading' black ( especially Najdorf devotees ) into the versions of the f4
Sicilian with 2...d6 must relate to the strengthening of the f5 pawn sacrifice
ideas. The text move allows black not just to take the bishop pair, but to
instigate pretty much unhindered an entire strategy of light-square domination.

it fails then white maybe should look elsewhere before!?}) 9... Na5 $1 10. Be3
b6 11. Bf2 Bb7 12. Bh4 Nxb3 13. axb3 {[%csl Gb7] The problem white faces is
not just the bishop pair ( although there is precious little compensation
anyway ). It is black's excellent chances of establishing a bind on the light
squares. The problem is that with a little patience black can organise the ...
f5 break which will permanently pressure white's centre. White lacks classic
sources of play - strong central squares for the knights, pawn moves which
clamp down on the scope of his opponent's bishop pair. As for white's
remaining bishop, it has successfully manouevred to an active-looking square,
but it is quite unclear where it goes from there} Qd7 14. Qg3 f5 $1 {[%cal

exf5 {I do not intend to try to prove that white could have held the centre,
but this exchange is tantamount to capitulation. Black will combine play along
the long white diagonal with pressure on the g-file, and white's g2 point will
eventually give. Note that the structure in the centre offers white's knights
just about no prospects whatever of a brighter future.} gxf5 {[%csl Rg2][%cal
