{The Hasselbacken Open this year was only its second edition but it was
organised in a fantastic way and also it was successful for me as I ended up
sharing first place with Andreikin (who was eventually crowned the winner
thanks to his superior tiebreak).} 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 e5 4. Nf3 Nbd7 5.
Bc4 ({My previous games in this line were in} 5. g4 {Ala-Shirov who also
playing there!}) 5... Be7 6. a4 $5 {A somewhat subtle move order according to
Battu (Parimarjan Negi) But during the game I couldn't remember the full
details and just decided to put the faith on his opening prowess.} O-O 7. O-O
a5 8. h3 c6 9. Re1 {All natural moves and so far so good!} h6 (9... Nb6 $5 10.
Ba2 Nfd7 {is the popular way for Black.}) 10. Ba2 {To prevent any ...Nxe4
ideas and preparing Be3.} Re8 11. Be3 Qc7 12. Qe2 (12. Nd2 {was very tempting,
with idea to prepare f4, but I didn't like} Nf8 13. f4 Be6 $1 {It didn't look
like f4 did anything useful.}) 12... Nf8 {My last move was aimed against
preventing this but I missed the second rank defence with ...Bd8.} 13. Rad1 {
Continuing with the central strategy.} (13. Qc4 Bd8 {Black is holding on.})
13... Ng6 14. d5 $1 {Keeping the pressure.} (14. Nd2 exd4 15. Bxd4 Be6 {
with good chances to equalise.}) 14... Ra6 $5 ({The natural} 14... Nh7 {
would be met by} 15. Qc4 $1 Rf8 16. dxc6 bxc6 17. Nd5 {Black is not able to
prevent material losses.}) 15. Bc4 {I decided to improve my bishop's position.}
Ra8 16. Bb3 Ra6 17. Nd2 $1 {The knight on f3 was the only piece which was
feeling left out and now it joins the battle on the queenside with full force!}
Nh7 18. Nc4 Rf8 {Black is ready to close the queenside with ...c5 after which
he can concentrate on the kingside.} 19. dxc6 $1 (19. Qd3 c5 20. Nb5 Qd8 {
White knights have beautiful outposts on the queenside but unfortunately they
don't seem to do much :).}) 19... bxc6 20. Qd2 $6 {I thought this just
prevents any ideas involving ...Nf4.} (20. Qd3 $1 {was the strongest but for
some reason I ended up spending around 20 min and convinced myself that Qd2
was stronger.} Rd8 21. Nb5 cxb5 22. axb5 Ra8 23. Bb6 Qb8 (23... Qd7 24. Bxd8)
24. Bxd8 Nf4 {I didn't look at candidate moves in this specific position.} 25.
Qe3 (25. Qd2 $5 Bxd8 26. Qxd6) 25... Bxd8 26. Nxe5 (26. Nxd6 Be6) 26... Be6 27.
Nxf7 {with way too many pawns.} ({Also strong is} 27. Nc6 Qxb5 28. Nxd8 Qg5 29.
g3 $18)) 20... Nh4 $5 (20... Ng5 $1 {with similar ideas to the game, this was
the reason why Qd3 was stronger.}) 21. Qd3 $1 ({Another possible option was} 
21. Kh2 Rd8 22. f4 {, but didn't look in the spirit of the position since
already White has ideas involving Nb5.}) 21... Rd8 (21... Bxh3 22. gxh3 Nf3+
23. Kg2 Nxe1+ 24. Rxe1 $16) 22. Nb5 $1 {Now this sacrifice is much more
complicated due to the sacrifices on g2 and h3.} cxb5 (22... Qd7 23. Nbxd6 Nxg2
24. Nxc8 Qxc8 25. Qxd8+ $1 Bxd8 26. Nd6 $16) 23. axb5 a4 24. Ba2 ({Another
winning option was} 24. bxa6 Bxa6 (24... axb3 25. Bb6 Qd7 26. Bxd8 bxc2 27. Ra1
$1 $18) 25. Ba2 Rc8 26. b3 Nf6 $16 {Black only has practical chances to save
the game.}) 24... Nxg2 (24... Bxh3 {was the most tenacious although after} 25.

30. Nb6 {White is clearly on top.}) 25. Kxg2 Qd7 26. Bb6 Ng5 27. bxa6 Nxh3 28.
Nxe5 {A nice command of the space advantage and more superior pieces which is
maintained till the last position!} 1-0

1. e4 d6 {I couldn't find in the database a single game played by my opponent
in 2001. So I thought that the lack of practice will be easier to turn to my
advantage in the strategicaly complicated positions, which Philidor surely
offers.} 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 e5 4. Nf3 {the ending which could arise after} (4.

initiative, I mean 5.Bc4 line, but it's not so. White still keeps controlling
the center and the fianchetto of the white square bishop also deserves
attention.} c6 6. a4 Be7 7. Bg2 O-O 8. O-O Re8 {Just another normal move but
nowdays when desperately are fighting for the tempos it's better to avoid the

balance of weak squares d5 and f4 is equal. Still white maintains a slight

similar game with a temporary sacrifice on a4 against Bauer on tie-breaks in
Mondariz 2000. It ended to draw but I remember Oscar playing very confidently

game I underestimated this move. Beside the fact that White is simply
developing and is preparing a doubling on the d file, also the pawn on a6 is
getting attacked} Nh7 $6 {In the kasparovchessclub it was giving a high mark
to the whole game especially to its strategical part. For example the maneuvre
Nh7-g5-e6-f4. It would be completely justified if he would take on f4. But

queenside development is severely restricted now.} (8. Re1 {has been played in
countless games, after which Black typically plays either a5 or b6.}) 8... Rb8
{Black tries to free his queenside by preparing the b5 push. Note how the pawn
on a5 actually allows for this possibility, though White will get the open
a-file in compensation.} (8... h6 9. Re1 Re8 {is another way to play, simply
waiting for White to commit his pieces before deciding on concrete action.}) 9.

is unclear if the queen really belongs on c7 in these positions.}) 10. Be3 {
White forces Black's hand on the queenside, since the a7-pawn is now under an
indirect threat.} b5 11. axb6 axb6 12. d5 {This is a typical idea for White in
these Philidor positions, and with the open a-file I think it is even stronger.

much.} (12... Bb7 13. dxc6 Bxc6 14. Nd2 {gives White a slight edge due to the

the game.}) 13. Ra7 Bb7 14. dxc6 bxc4 15. cxd7 (15. cxb7 Rxb7 16. Rfa1 {
also leaves White with a comfortable advantage, and though it doesn't win
material by force, it kills some potential counterplay from the b7 bishop. I
guess it is a matter of taste.}) 15... Qxd7 16. Qxc4 Rfc8 17. Qd3 h6 {At this
point, White is up a pawn for dubious compensation at best, but the game took
an unusual turn.} 18. Nh4 $2 {I'm not a believer in this kingside escapade.} (

consistent, but as is often the case when pursuing the wrong path, consistency
is not a positive quality.} (19. f3 {was probably best, solidifying the center,
but there is no way White would play Nh4 with the intention of following it up
with f3.}) 19... Ng4 $2 (19... Qc6 $1 {was possible now, and I'm unsure how
White will defend this e4-pawn:} 20. Nf5 (20. fxe5 dxe5 {only helps out

best even here, with the point that it isn't so easy for White to find a move.}

understandable practical try.} (22... Ra8 {was the main alternative, but after}

couldn't have been his intention.} (23... Bc5 {was the first idea that came to

1. e4 {Somewhat unusual for me. I haven't played this very often in serious
games for many years, as I normally prefer the English Opening. Why, you are
probably wondering, did I play it here, then? For the simple reason that, in
my preparation, I noticed that my opponent liked to play Hanham's Variation of
Philidor's Defence. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it is a good
defence, it is just that I have played it many times myself, as Black, and
have even written a book about the Philidor. So, I hoped that my opponent
would play the Philidor against me, but I didn't think that he would dare!} d6

in the world ranking lists for female juniors.  In der neunten Runde der
Frauen-Europameisterschaft traf ich auf die junge russische Spielerin Polina

in for the sharp variation with Bxg3, but after that I did not choose the best
continuation with 24...Kg7. Finally the decisive inaccuracy was 27.... cxb5.
Instead of that, after 27...Kf6 it could still have become an interesting and
exciting game. After this game I was still able to get 1.5 points out of the
last two games and finish the tournament with a consoling 6 points from the 11
rounds. In der Partie gab es für mich mehrere Schlüsselmomente. Zunächst
die Stellung nach 21.Dc1, wo ich durch die Unachtsamkeit mit Dc5 eine
taktische Möglichkeit zugelassen habe. Stattdessen hätte 21....h5 die
Stellung weiterhin im Gleichgewicht gehalten. Der zweite Schlüsselmoment
ergab sich im 23. Zug, wo ich mich für die scharfe Variante mit Lxg3
entschieden habe, anschließend aber nicht die beste Fortsetzung mit 24...Kg7
gewählt habe. Die entscheidende Ungenauigkeit war dann schließlich 27....
cxb5. Stattdessen hätte es nach 27...Kf6 noch eine sehr interessante und
spannende Partie werden können. Nach der Partie konnte ich noch 1,5 Punkte

Punkten aus 11 Runden abschließen.} 1-0

{Blatny: This game is nice example of excellent endgame technique. Watch how
Rozentalis realised his small advantage gained through simple combination. The
combination allowed him "just" to transpose from middlegame to better endgame.

pawnstructure - two compact islands against three damaged of Black and more
active pieces. Also the placement of kings is of big importance: white can
support the 3:2 majority on the queenside. Of course it is possible to look
for improvements of Black's defense in following phases of the game, but it
doesn't affect the "endgame concerto" of Rosentalis. His technique will be so
smooth and so logical... Yes, chess can be very "simple" when you know how to

{48-year-old Henrik Danielsen defeated his much younger and much higher rated
opponent by employing one of the most solid openings from the black side - the
Philidor.} 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 e5 4. Nf3 (4. dxe5 dxe5 5. Qxd8+ Kxd8 {
Black players who play the Philidor are usually pretty happy when this
position arises on the board.}) 4... Nbd7 5. Bc4 Be7 6. a4 $5 {Usually White
castles first. But here he goes for the move a4. It doesn't make a huge
difference here but theoretical experts do think that after 6.0-0 0-0, the
most accurate move for White is 7.a4 and not 7.Re1 because with a4 you can
prevent Black from going 7...a6 as that is met with 8.a5!} O-O 7. O-O c6 8. Re1
{The reason why the Philidor is preferred by many players is because of the
number of setups that Black can choose at this point.  He can go for the move .
..a5 securing the c5-square for his knight. ...b6 is the main move developing
the bishop on b7 and later going ...a6 followed for ...b5 and ...c5 breaks.
Also possible is to play ...Qc7 followed by ...h6, ...Re8, Nf8-g6. Danielsen
goes for another approach which includes ceding the centre.} exd4 9. Nxd4 Ne5
10. Ba2 (10. Bb3 {The reason why White sometimes prefers Ba2 to Bb3 is to keep
Black from winning a crucial tempo if his knight comes to c5 or the pawn
advances c5-c4. But usually it doesn't make such a huge difference and both
the bishop moves are made interchangeably.}) (10. Bf1 {is equally popular.})
10... Re8 {White has a space advantage thanks to his pawn on e4 as compared to
the black pawn on d6. He has his pieces excellently placed. His bishop on c1
will come to e3 and then he will start to expand with f4. Also the bishop on
a2 is a monster! The same cannot be said about the black pieces. They are
clumsily placed. The rook on a8 and bishop on c8 do not have any good
prospects and the knight on e5 will be pushed away by the pawn on f4. But this
is precisely what Black wants. He wants White to overextend his position
before striking back.} 11. h3 a5 $6 {This move is inaccurate when Black goes
for the plan with exd4 followed by Re8. Usually his counterplay is linked to
placing his B on d7 followed by the Q going to a5. As you can see in the game,
he is soon left without any counterplay.} ({An illustrative game to show you
how Black should actually play:} 11... Bd7 12. Bf4 Qa5 13. Bb3 Bd8 $1 {The
bishop is relocated to a better diagonal.} 14. Bd2 Qc5 15. Nf3 Be6 16. Be3
Nxf3+ 17. Qxf3 Qb4 18. Bxe6 Rxe6 19. Bd2 Ba5 20. Qd3 Rae8 {0-1 (39) Vorobiov,E
(2592)-Khismatullin,D (2667) Kavala 2010. All of Black's pieces are
co-ordinating to perfection and he is better.}) 12. Be3 Bf8 13. Qd2 Ng6 14. f3
{White would have preferred to expand with f4 but due to the pressure on e4,
he has to make this consolidating move. But on the agenda is Bf2 followed by
f4.} Be6 {Not really something that Black would have preferred to do.} 15. Nxe6
fxe6 16. f4 {Navara sees nothing wrong in advancing his pawns and at this
point in the game he definitely has quite a substantial edge.} Kh8 {Henrik
Danielsen continues with his policy of playing solidly and letting Navara take
the initiative to do something in the position. That's quite a risky strategy
when you face a strong player like David but here it works pretty well.} (16...
d5 {was possible but after} 17. f5 (17. e5 Nd7 $132) 17... exf5 18. exd5 $14 {
The position is opening up for the white bishops.}) 17. f5 exf5 18. exf5 Ne5 {
If it were Black to play here, he would be completely fine with the move d5!
Navara of course stops it.} 19. Bd4 {Now ...d5 is not possible.} Ned7 20. Rxe8
Qxe8 21. Re1 Qh5 22. Be6 $1 {White had to make this move or else his bishop
would have been locked out of the game after the move d5.} d5 {The point to
note here is that Black has done nothing much in the game. He made no real
plans. Many of his moves were just reactions to White's threats. Yet he is not
worse by much. He has an extremely compact pawn structure. This is the reason
why players prefer the Philidor. It's a really solid opening.} 23. Qe3 $6 {
Navara tries to prevent the exchange of bishops on c5 but this is a small
inaccuracy and it is enough for Black to start creating his counterplay.} ({
A better try would have been} 23. Qf4 Bc5 24. Bxd7 $1 Bxd4+ (24... Nxd7 $2 25.
Bxc5 Nxc5 26. f6 $1 $18) 25. Qxd4 Nxd7 26. Re7 Nf6 27. Qf4 $14 {White keeps
his edge here.} (27. Rxb7 $6 Qxf5 $11)) 23... Qh4 $1 {The threat is to take on
d4 and then play ...Bc5.} 24. g4 $6 (24. Kh1 Bd6 $132 {Black has already
snatched the initiative.} 25. Rf1 Re8 $15) (24. Rf1 Qxd4 25. Qxd4 Bc5 $11)
24... Bc5 $1 {The relatively undefended position of the rook on e1 makes this
move possible.} 25. Re2 $2 {White is now destroyed by a simple albeit powerful
sacrifice.} (25. Rd1 Bxd4 26. Rxd4 c5 $1 27. Rxd5 Nxd5 28. Nxd5 {White has
excellent compensation and should be able to maintain equality here.}) 25...
Nxg4 $1 {This is precisely what I was talking about. White's over-extended
position gets ripped to shreds.} 26. f6 (26. hxg4 Qxg4+ 27. Rg2 Qxd4 $19) 26...
Qxf6 $1 27. Bxf6 Ngxf6 (27... Bxe3+ {was a tad more accurate.} 28. Kg2 Ngxf6

O-O-O exd4 9. Nxd4 $14 {( at least! )} Re8 10. g4 $1 {Black's situation is
already unenviable. Middle game theory offers us three basic responses to such
a wing attack:  1) a strike back on the other wing, which would here require
considerable preparation and arguably be as likely to generate weaknesses in
black's camp as it would fear in white's;  2) a response on the same side - in
the game as we shall see, this does nothing to hinder white's line-opening
aspirations; 3) a strike back in the centre, often at least by implication
'theory's' preferred method. Indeed here it would be the most apposite, but
white's superior space and grip on the centre effectively prevents it.  So,
white's attack builds up unrestrained, and he is able to inflict decisive
weaknesses on his opponent's king-side structure with shockingly little delay.}

some kind of defensive resource.}) 13... Nxh5 14. Bg5 f6 {[%csl Rg6] A pretty
