1. d4 {1)DSB 1936,S.172-3, 182. Der 20-jährige Keres ist die Überraschung
des Turnieres. Zwar war er schon durch Warschau 1935 und einige kleinere
Veranstaltungen bekannt, aber auf die erste bis zweite Stelle haben ihn wohl
wenige eingeschätzt. Er hat gutes Wissen, spielt unternehmend und und ist
erfinderisch auch in schlechten Stellungen.} e6 2. c4 Bb4+ 3. Nc3 c5 4. e3 Nf6

{In seinem Buch "Hundert Partien" schrieb Keres: Mein Spiel in den ersten 
(zwei) Runden war alles andere als zufriedenstellend, und ich kam zu der
Schlussfolgerung, dass meine Chancen im Turnier sehr gering wären, wenn ich
weiterhin den gleichen Stil beibehalten würde. In ruhigem Positionsspiel
waren mir meine Kontrahenten überlegen. Deshalb beschloss ich, Verwicklungen
anzustreben. In der Partie gegen Eliskases wählte ich das einen zweifelhaften
Ruf besitzende Gambit} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. b4 {Schwarz bekam zwar ein

{Das zum Jahreswechsel 39/40 ausgetragene Match auf 14 Partien führte den
jungen Keres (erst 23 Jahre alt) mit dem äußerst erfahrenen Matchspieler Euwe
zusammen. Die holländischen Organisatoren hatten dabei auch ein neuerliches
Match Aljechin-Euwe im Auge. Für Keres, seit dem Sieg beim AVRO 1938 für einen
Wettkampf gegen Aljechin legitimiert, hieß es einfach nur Matcherfahrung zu
sammeln.  Zunächst führte dann auch der Niederländer, doch genau diese 9.
Partie ließ Keres erstmals in Front gehen; am Ende errang er einen knappen 7,5:

Capablanca im Budapester Siesta-Turnier von 1928 erfolgreich eingeführte Zug
stellt eine etwas riskante, aber auch wirksame Fortsetzung auf den weissen Zug
5.c3 dar, und wird seit dem die Siesta-Variante genannt. Lange Zeit fand er
wenig Zuspruch. In der zweiten Hälfte der 40er Jahre entdeckte man jedoch für
Schwarz Wege für ein effektives Gegenspiel, so dass das Interesse an ihm
schnell zunahm. Bisher ist es nicht gelungen, für Weiss eine Widerlegung
dieser Variante zu finden.} ({Die ruhige Fortsetzung} 5... Bd7 {wurde zwischen

ungeschickt auf der e-Linie. Schwarz hat ein aktives Läuferpaar und gute
Aussichten, die e-Linie zu besetzen. Auch der Bauer f4 trägt dazu bei, dass
Weiss schlechter steht: er macht den Bc1 zum "schlechten" Läufer, und er
schwächt die weissen Felder. Es darf allerdings nicht vergessen werden, das
der Nachziehende einen Bauern weniger hat. Das verpfichtet ihn, energisch zu
handeln.(N)} 15. Nd2 $6 {Nach diesem scheinbar natürlichen Zug erleidet Weiss

{[%mdl 8] Mit einem sehr aggressiven Aufbau versuchen hier drei Argentinier
gleichzeitig (alle in der 14. Runde) ihre sowjetischen Gegner zu überraschen.
Doch die Überraschung misslingt komplett.  Aus heutiger Sicht bleibt die
Bewertung des Bauernopfers 9...g5 unklar. Von den Topspielern wird die
Variante gemieden und deshalb kommt kein Licht in die Angelegenheit.} 1. e4 c5

7. Nxd4 exd4 8. Bd5 ({Interessanterweise wird diese harmlose Fortsetzung recht
häufig gespielt, obwohl Weiß hier nur auf Ausgleich hoffen darf. Zielt Weiß
auf ein schnelles Remis ab, so ist es einfacher:} 8. c3 {zu spielen und nach}

9. Bc6+ Bd7 10. Bxd7+ Qxd7 11. Qxd4 Nf6 12. O-O Be7 13. Nc3 O-O 14. a4 ({
Es ist eine aus der Turnierpraxis gut bekannte Stellung entstanden. Schwarz
hat hervorragendes Spiel. In der Regel entwickelt Weiß hier den Läufer, doch
dabei ist einiges zu berücksichtigen. Nach} 14. Bg5 b4 {wird Weiß zu dem
bescheidenen 15. Sd1 gezwungen, da} 15. Nd5 $2 {zum Verlust einer Figut führt:
} Nxd5 16. Qxd5 Rb5) (14. Bd2 {führte in der Partie Stolz - Aljechin (Bled,
1931) zu Zentrumsvorteil für Schwarz:} Rfe8 15. Qd3 b4 16. Ne2 Qc6 {Der
Versuch, mit dem Partiezug frischen Wind in die Variante zu bringen, scheitert
ebenfalls.}) 14... Rfe8 15. Qd3 {Der Abtausch auf b5 hätte Schwarz von seiner
Schwäche auf a6 befreit und ihm die A-Linie überlassen.} b4 16. Nd5 a5 17. b3
({Die Schwächung der langen Diagonale wird es Schwarz bald ermöglichen, die
Initiative zu ergreifen. Viel besser war die natürliche Figurenentwicklung} 
17. Bf4 {, was Schwarz mit} Nxd5 18. Qxd5 Bf6 {begegnen könnte.}) ({Ebenfalls
interessant ist} 17. Nxe7+ Qxe7 18. Re1) 17... Nxd5 18. exd5 Bf6 19. Rb1 c5 $1
{Dieser Zug ist hier sehr stark, da nach 20. dxc6 Dxc6 der Bauer c2 eine
wesentlich größere Schwäche darstellt, als der schwarze Bauer auf d6. Daher
war auch 19 … c6 interessant, um den Tausch auf c6 zu erzwingen.} 20. Bf4 Be5
21. Be3 ({Weiß spielt inkonsequent. Es ist offensichtlich, dass sich der
Läufer bald als passiver erweist, als sein schwarzer Kollege. Es war daher
besser} 21. Bxe5 {zu spielen. Nach} Rxe5 22. Rfe1 Rbe8 {beherrscht Schwarz die
einzige offene Linie und steht etwas besser.}) 21... Rbc8 $1 {Droht 22… c4
23. bxc4 Dxa4 usw. Weiß ist hier gezwungen, der schwarzen Dame das starke
Feld f5 zu überlassen.} 22. Qc4 Qf5 23. Qb5 $2 {Weiß steht etwas schlechter
und startet einen Angriffsversuch, der sich als vollkommen hoffnungslos
erweist. Richtig war 23. Tbd1, um bei Gelegenheit die Stellung mit Td3 zu
konsolidieren.} Qxc2 24. Qxa5 f5 $1 {Ein sehr starker Vormarsch, da 25…f4
droht und Weiß keine zufriedenstellende Verteidigung hat. Das Spiel ist
strategisch entschieden, auch wenn einige interessante Verwicklungen
bevorstehen.} 25. f3 Bb2 $5 ({Schwarz stehen viele gute Fortsetzungen zur
Verfügung. Mit diesem Zug macht er aber die Sache unnötig kompliziert. Nach} 
25... Bxh2+ 26. Kxh2 Rxe3 {gewinnt Schwarz einen Bauern und steht besser.}) (
25... f4 26. Bf2 Bd4 {erzwingt den Abtausch} 27. Bxd4 cxd4 {und gibt Schwarz
einen starken Freibauern im Zentrum.}) ({Am Einfachsten aber war} 25... Qd3 $1
{nebst 26…Dxd5 mit einem gesunden Bauern mehr.}) 26. Qa6 $1 {Ein
hervorragender Zug. Die erste Partiehälfte hat Hort nicht gerade herausragend
gespielt, jetzt aber nutzt er ausgezeichnet seine Chancen und erhält ein
interessantes Gegenspiel.} Qxb3 27. Bf2 c4 {Um 28.Dxd6 mit 28 … c3 zu
kontern. Hätte Schwarz mehr auf die gegnerischen Möglichkeiten geachtet, so
hätte er dem weißen Läufer wohl kaum so viel Freiraum geboten. Besser war
27… Dc2 und wenn es sich anbietet b3.} 28. Qb7 $1 Rb8 ({Würde Schwarz hier} 
28... c3 $2 {spielen, winkt Weiß sogar der Sieg:} 29. Bd4 $1) ({In Zeitnot
findet Schwarz nicht sofort den richtigen Plan, um die gegnerischen Drohungen
zu parieren. Am Einfachsten scheint} 28... Qa3 $1 {zu sein. Es droht 29…b3,
nebst 30…Lf6. Auf} 29. Rfd1 {kann Schwarz einfach} Qxa4 {spielen}) 29. Qa7
Ra8 $2 ({Aus irgendeinem Grund war Schwarz wohl der Überzeugung, dass} 29...
Qc2 {an} 30. Rxb2 Qxb2 31. Bd4 {scheitert. Allerdings gewinnt hier das
Unerwartete} Rb7 $1) 30. Qb7 Reb8 {Es war noch nicht zu spät, mit 30…Tab8
in die richtige Spur zu kommen. Jetzt bekommt Weiß Gegenspiel.} 31. Qd7 Qc2
32. Qxd6 b3 33. Qe6+ Kh8 34. d6 Bf6 {Der starke Freibauer auf d6 mahnt Schwarz
zur Vorsicht. 34… La3 oder 34…c3 würde Weiß hier erlauben, den Läufer
auf d4 zu postieren. In beidseitiger Zeitnot findet Schwarz eine interessante
Kombination, die zu schwer durchschaubaren Verwicklungen führt.} 35. Rfc1 {
Darauf hat Weiß gebaut. Muss Schwarz nun einen Freibauern abgeben und sich
mit einem vermeintlich besseren Endspiel zufrieden geben?} Qxc1+ $1 {Eine vor
allem in der Zeitnotphase sehr unangenehme Überraschung. Eines muss man Hort
lassen: Trotz des unerwarteten Opfers behält er die Nerven und findet die
beste Verteidigung.} 36. Rxc1 b2 37. Rb1 c3 38. Qe2 $1 {Der einzige Zug hier.
Nach 38.Dxf5 Txa4 hat Weiß keine Verteidigung gegen 39…Ta1.} Rxa4 39. d7 h6
$2 {Erneut findet Schwarz nicht den besten Zug: 39…Tg8!, der 40.De8+
verhindert und gleichzeitig 40…Ta1 droht. Ebenfalls besser als der Partiezug
war 39…Taa8, nebst 40…h6 und 41…Ta1.} 40. Qe8+ Kh7 {Die Zeitnotphase ist
vorbei und Hort musste hier seinen Abgabezug aufschreiben. In anbetracht der
Drohungen 41…c2 und 41…Ta1 hat Weiß lediglich die Wahl zwischen 41.Dxb8
und 41.d8D. Dennoch ist es nicht leicht, den richtigen Zug zu finden, vor
allem wenn man einen fünfstündigen schweren Kampf hinter sich hat.} 41. d8=Q
$2 ({Interessanterweise entlarvt sich dieser natürliche Zug, mit dem Weiß a4
angreift und 42.Dg8+ droht, als entscheidender Fehler. In der Zeitnot hat Hort
sich ausgezeichnet verteidigt. Danach, als er genug Bedenkzeit hatte,
unterläuft ihm diese fatale Ungenauigkeit. Der richtige Zug ist:} 41. Qxb8 $1
{mit ausgezeichneten Chancen auf Rettung. 41...} c2 (41... Ra1 42. Rf1 c2 {
ist nicht gefährlich:} 43. Qxb2 {und der Bauer auf d7 rettet Weiß.}) 42. Qxb2

Bb6 Ra1 45. d8=Q Rxf1+ 46. Kxf1 c1=Q+ 47. Kf2 Bc3 $1 {und Schwarz hat durch
den Angriff praktische Chancen. Weiß hätte auf jeden Fall 41.Dxb8! spielen
müssen. Mit dem Partiezug 41.d8D? hat er offensichtlich auf 41…c2 42.Dg8+
mit Dauerschach gehofft, doch es folgt eine nächste Überraschung:}) 41...
Rxd8 $1 42. Qxa4 Rd2 $1 {Möglicherweise ist dies die kurioseste Brettstellung
aus meiner langjährigen Schachpraxis. Schwarz hat nur zwei Bauern für die
Dame, doch sind sie dermaßen stark, dass Weiß sogar Schwierigkeit hat,
auszugleichen. Es droht 43…c2.} 43. Rxb2 ({In der Hausanalyse hat Hort
nichts Besseres gefunden als den Turm sofort abzugeben. Doch hätte Weiß sich
hartnäckiger verteidigen können:} 43. Qb5 c2 44. Qf1 $1 (44. Qxf5+ $2 g6)
44... Rd5 $1 ({Schwarz hat es nicht leicht, den Angriff fortzusetzen. Das
Einfache} 44... cxb1=Q 45. Qxb1 Rd6 {bringt nichts wegen} 46. Be3 Ra6 47. Kf2
g6 48. Qc2 $1 Bg7 49. Bc1 Rb6 50. Qb1 $1 {Schwarz sollte deshalb präziser
vorgehen. 44…Td5! erzielt entscheidenden Vorteil. In manchen Varianten,
beispielsweise nach 45.g4 erfolgt nun 45…Ta5. Nach 44...Td5! stehen Weiß
drei Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung:}) {1)} 45. Be3 cxb1=Q 46. Qxb1

Lxb2 47. Le3 Ta1 48. Dxa1 Lxa1 49. Lc1 fg 50.fg Lf6 nebst 51…Lg5 und Schwarz
gewinnt. Das sofortige Schlagen auf b2 erleichtert Schwarz die Sache
wesentlich, da er nun ein wichtiges Tempo gewinnt.}) 43... cxb2 44. Qb3 Rd8 $1
{Droht 45…Ta8. Eine Verteidigung ist hier nicht mehr in Sicht.} 45. Qc2 Rb8
46. Qb1 {Auf 46. Dxf5+ entscheidet 46…Kh8 47. Db1 Ta8 usw.} g6 {Weiß fehlt
ein Tempo, um den König aus der ersten Reihe zu bringen.} 47. g4 Ra8 48. Kg2
Ra1 49. Qc2 b1=Q 50. Qc7+ Bg7 51. Bd4 Qf1+ 52. Kg3 f4+ 53. Kxf4 Qc1+ {Weiß
gab auf. Diese Partie ist zwar nicht fehlerfrei, inhaltlich aber so
einzigartig, dass sie es verdient, in diesen Sammelband aufgenommen zu werden.}
