O-O-O Bd7 9. f3 {Usually I play 9.f4 but recently I've been experiencing
problems with 9...h6 10.Bh4 g5 so for this tournament I switched to an
entirely different setup. Nobody knows what the hell is going on in this
position, since there are at least five different possibilities for Black, all
with their own specific implications and with numerous transpositions between
them. Before the tournament I was considering playing this position from the
Black side as well, and therefore I analysed the resulting positions pretty
deeply. The main line runs 9...Be7 but I had considered 9...h6 10.Be3 b5 as
the most interesting.} b5 10. Kb1 $1 {From my work I concluded that White
should, rather than exchange on c6, prefer a setup with Kb1 and g4. There are
concrete reasons why 10.g4 doesn't trouble Black, which are only evident after
some analysis. As I said before this is an incredibly difficult position, and
no fun to analyse (but it can be incredibly rewarding), which can be seen by
the fact that in most lines White prefers other ideas than Kb1 and g4 (for
instance after 9...Be7 the most popular move is 10.h4, which is easily met by
10...h6 11.Be3 h5).} h6 11. Be3 Ne5 {Black would rather not commit the knight
yet, but 11...Qc7 runs into the powerful 12.Bxb5!. Conversely, 12.g4 allows
Black to free his position with the typical ...d5 thrust.} (11... Qc7 12. g4 (

the uninitiated but it is very common. The d6-pawn loses protection of course,
but on the other hand the d-file is so cluttered that the d6-pawn won't feel
too much discomfort. If you attempt to remove the bishop and knight from d4
and d3 you'll find that Be2 is met by ...b4 and moving the knight leaves the
f-pawn hanging. Indeed, White will need at least four moves before he can get
anything going whilst Black can arrange a counter attack with something like ..
.b4 and ...d5 or ...Nc4 by that time. Play looks genuinely unclear.}) 14. cxd3

I think this is a good demonstration of where computers are still weaker than
humans. Fritz 11's evaluation drops so much you'd think this is a blunder of
some kind. In fact, this is a strong regrouping, preparing to arrange the
knights ideally. Let's look at it this way: White needs to advance the d-pawn
to make progress, but 16.Nc2 runs into 16...b4 and ...b3, carving up White's
queenside; on the other hand, the e2 square is reserved for the c3-knight
after ...b4. Black can advance his pawns but he isn't winning any tempi since
the knights are being chased to attractive posts on e2 and d3.} a4 17. Nc1 b4
18. N3e2 {White's queenside is secure since ...a3 b3 and ...b3 a3 lead nowhere
for Black. Without any counterplay on the queenside White has an enormous
advantage due to his central superiority.} Bg7 19. d4 h5 $6 {Not a terrible
move but probably not best either. Of course strategically it is favourable
for Black to fix the kingside structure, but on the other hand it is at the
cost of even more development. Another curious feature of the position will be
the weakness of the f6-square. Now it seems like that will mean nothing at the
moment, but look at the position on moves 26 and 34 and tell me Black doesn't
regret weakening f6!} ({Instead Black must prefer a move like} 19... Bb5 $5 {
During the game and even in analysis we couldn't see a good plan for Black
after simple development such as 20.Nd3 and eventually preparing one of
numerous pawn breaks on the kingside or in the centre. We eventually concluded
Black had to evacuate the knight from f6, perhaps to d7-b6-c4, but it isn't so
easy to achieve anything constructive. However, this would have probably been
a better chance.}) 20. g5 Ng8 21. d5 $1 {Other moves look relatively
comfortable for Black. This move takes advantage of Black's lack of
development and vulnerability down the d-file to force ...e5, which is clearly
not favourable for Black: White gains a stronghold on d5 and good control over
c6, an even larger space advantage, the bishop on g7 is shut out of the game
and Black must always be careful for the f4-break.} e5 (21... Ne7 $2 22. dxe6
