1. d4 e6 2. c4 f5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e3 {It seems that Kortschnoj is treating the
opening quite simply:White doesn't try to get some advantage by the usual 4.g3,
but...} Bb4 5. Bd2 O-O 6. Bd3 d6 {Maybe it was better to adopt the Stonewall
system} 7. Qc2 Nbd7 8. Nge2 b6 9. O-O Bb7 10. a3 Bxc3 11. Nxc3 Qe8 12. f3 $1 {
This is a very interesting idea. White is improving his little by little and
is building a strong center} a6 13. b4 Rc8 14. Rab1 Kh8 15. c5 $1 {An
important decision. White is opening up the game on the Queen's side} Nb8 16.
a4 Qd7 17. Ne2 $1 {White's Knight is trying to get on the other side} Rfd8 18.
Be1 $1 {Again very distrurbing for Black. White's Bishops are really very
active} Ba8 19. Bh4 Rf8 20. Rfc1 dxc5 {Sooner or later Black had to react
somehow, White's threats were already becoming quite unpleasant} 21. bxc5 Nd5
22. e4 $1 {Right in time; White is clearly better on both sides and now this
thematical blow in the center gives Kortschnoj a decisive edge} fxe4 23. fxe4
Ne3 24. Qd2 Ng4 25. cxb6 cxb6 26. Rxc8 Rxc8 27. h3 $1 {Forces Black's Knight
to an ackward position} Nh6 28. Rxb6 Nc6 29. Bxa6 {The game is already decided,
the question is for how long it will last...} Rf8 30. Bb5 Qc7 31. a5 Na7 32.
Bd3 e5 33. Qb4 $1 {The simplest way to victory} Qf7 34. Rb8 {And in this
desperate position Black resigned. A great game by Kortschnoj who delighted
his fans by taking first (even ex aequo with GM Petursson) in this very strong
Lugano Open 1989! Notes by GM Florin Gheorghiu.} 1-0

{Khalifman: The game between the oldest and the youngest participants (age
difference-45 years) was highly expected. I don't want to explain once more
what the name Kortschnoj means in our city and young sociable Peter who had
already proved his chess strength first of all winning 2 Russian Championship
titles has also enough fans in St-Petersburg. After 6 rounds both were at 50%
- just 1 point behind the leader so both had some expectations.Tournament

dass Schwarz nicht d7-d6 zieht, sondern nach Möglichkeit gleich den für diese

1. c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 g6 3. e4 d6 4. d4 Bg7 5. Bg5 {The Averbakh System has been
one of Korchnoi's weapon against the King's Indian.} Nbd7 6. f4 O-O 7. Nf3 c5

on a5. Uhlmann's idea was to play b5 in the style of the Benko Gambit. It
would have been better to make the move right away.} (8... b5 9. cxb5 a6 $132 {
With good counterplay.}) 9. Qd2 b5 $2 {Just blundering the pawn. It seems that
Uhlmann did not at all consider that the pawn could be taken with the knight.}

looking for.}) 10... Qb6 (10... Qxd2+ 11. Nxd2 $14) 11. Nc3 (11. Bd3 Rb8 12.

correctly taking the pawn. Taking dxe6 is usually a difficult move to make in
such structures but Korchnoi assesses it perfectly that Black would not be
able to create any counterplay.} fxe6 14. Bd3 Bb7 15. O-O d5 {Uhlmann
understands that he must do something radical or else he is just lost. But his
position simply cannot withstand this.} 16. e5 Ne8 (16... Ne4 {was obvious but
White keeps control.} 17. Qe2 Nxg5 18. Nxg5 $16) 17. Kh1 Nc7 18. Be7 Rfe8 19.

and even for an 84-year-old Korchnoi it is not at all difficult. He is a pawn
up and has wonderful control. He finishes off the game efficiently.} Rbd8 22.

pawn structure with f4-f5 and Black has to react accurately.} (16. Bb2 {
