{This game was played in the 7th round and it was very important to win to
keep on having a chance for one of the spots for the World Cup. This was also
the day when Juan, my longtime life partner, arrived in Antalya. For the first
time since 2003(!) where I was very happy with my result, he joined me in a
Woman Inidvidual European Championship, and his presence in the last five
rounds did help!} 1. c4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 e6 5. Bd3 dxc4 6. Bxc4 a6

but I preferred to sidestep it and play without pushing the e-pawn.}) 10... Qc7

attacked on the open c-file by a rook and that gives White an extra tempo. If
my plan was to play e4 the queen is very good on c7 with Ng4 coming attacking
both h2 and f2, but as I have played Rd1 and left the guard of f2 it is clear
that my plan for a long time will not include e4.}) 11. Nbd2 (11. a3 {is what
most players chose here to quickly open the diagonal a1-h8 for the bishop.

{In the whole history of chess there has been no other player who decided so
many games by brilliant tactical blows as did Alexander Alekhine. We must take
into account that the same tactical motif can be repeated in different dress
in different games. In the next two examples you will see a combinative idea
of the World Champion first in its purest form. In an earlier game by Alekhine,
the same idea can be found, though in much more complicated circumstances.  Es
gab in der Geschichte des Schachs wohl keinen anderen Spieler, der so viele
Partien durch brillante taktische Schläge entschieden hat wie Alexander
Aljechin. Wir müssen dabei bedenken, daß in verschiedenen Partien das gleiche
taktische Motiv sich in anderem Gewand wiederholen kann. In den beiden
nächsten Beispielen sehen Sie eine kombinatorische Idee des Weltmeisters
zunächst in sehr reiner Form. In einer früheren Partie von Aljechin findet
sich die gleiche Idee, allerdings in viel komplizierteren Umständen.} 1. d4 d5

White's solid positional advantage cannot be called in question. Black's
position is full of weaknesses, but if he is able to avoid immediate defeat
his defensive resources could be enough to hold the game. So speed is of the
essence.  If we look at the position carefully we discover certain
combinational motifs which are provoked by the openness of the black king and
his hoping for 28...Qxe3 29.Rxd8+ does not work, since Black can simply play
28...Qd6.   Der solide positionelle Vorteil von Weiß ist nicht zu leugnen.
Aber obwohl die schwarze Stellung viele Schwächen aufweist, sollte er die
Partie gerade noch retten können – wenn er ein sofortiges Desaster vermeiden
kann. Für Weiß ist also Eile geboten. Wenn wir die Stellung ein wenig näher
betrachten, entdecken wir gewisse kombinatorische Motive, die durch die Blöße
des schwarzen Königs und seine "hängenden" Figuren bedingt sind. Leider
funktioniert das gradlinige 28.Rc8 in der Erwartung auf 28...Qxe3 29.Rxd8+
nicht, da Schwarz einfach 28...Qd6 spielen kann.} 28. e5 $1 {In any
circumstance this is a useful positional improvement, since it further weakens
the black pawn structure around his king. But there is also a tactical
motivation behind the pawn advance which gives it a devastating force. Das ist
ohnehin eine nützliche strategische Verbesserung, da die Bauernstruktur um den
schwarzen König weiter geschwächt wird. Aber es gibt auch eine taktische
Motivation hinter dem Bauernvorstoß, der ihm eine vernichtende Angriffskraft
verleiht.} (28. Rc8 {hoping for in der Erwartung auf} Qxe3 $2 {doesn't work

Stellung nach 28...fxe5 29.Qxe5 so häßlich ist und Weiß ohne Probleme gewinnen
wird. Aber nach dem Textzug steht das Feld d6 Schwarz nicht mehr zur Verfügung,
und Aljechin kann den Gnadenstoß versetzen:} ({so ugly is Black's position
