1. e4 {King} e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e5 Nfd7 6. Bxe7 Qxe7 7. f4 a6
{King: In order to prevent Nb5. Of course 7...0-0 would rule out 8 Nb5 as well,
and that is the principal alternative in this position, but Ulibin does not
wish to commit his king at such an early stage in the game: he has no need to
when the centre is blocked. Instead he plays a strategically subtle game,
waiting to see where his king will be best placed.} 8. Qd2 b6 {Khalifman has
had certain problems with the setup. He lost with white against Karsten
Mueller at the Hamburg SKA GM-tournament in Hamburg 1991.   Blacks setup is
solid but quite passive. He does not necessesarily wants to liberate his
somewhat cramped position with cxd4 and/or f7-f6 and fxe5. Instead he tries to
keep the position closed and whites spaceadvantage under control. Often black
places his king on the queenside where Bb7 makes the kings position more safe
than it would be on g8.} 9. Nd1 c5 10. c3 Nc6 11. Nf3 f5 {In line with blacks
opening idea. Control instead of activity. Whites longterm hope of a
breakthrogh - f4-f5 - is made impossible. Whatever white will do now has to be
done on kingside where he still has spaceadvantage. But he will have to use a
massive buildup of his forces before g4xf5 will have any impact on blacks
position.  King: White's most usual plan in this kind of position is to play
for the pawn break f4-f5, so Black gets in there first. The pawn on f5
fulfills another role: if a Black knight were to find itself on c5, then it
would have a superb square to head for on e4, supported by two pawns.} 12. Ne3
Bb7 13. Bd3 {King: White threatens Bxf5. Black could prevent this by castling
kingside, or queenside for that matter, but instead continues the waiting game
with his king.  This is good strategy. If 13...0-0, then White has the natural
attacking plan of g2-g4 available to him.  13...0-0-0 was more feasible,
though who knows, the king might be better placed in the centre. There is no
need to make a decision yet.} g6 14. h3 h5 {A important decision. Black
decides to allow the opening of the h-line and does not care about the
weakening of square g5. The positive thing is that the frontline to defend is
made shorter as the h-pawn is exchanged. Negative is that white now will get
to open lines to operate on. The h-file and the g-file(after g4xf5)} 15. O-O $6
{I think white should keep his rook on the h-file. I like 15.g3 followed by
Kf2 and  - maybe after some preparatory mowes - g3-g4. One of the good mowes
before white plays g3-g4 could be a2-a3 to stop counterattacks like 16. - cxd4
17. cxd4 Qb4.} cxd4 16. cxd4 Qb4 {If white had played 15. g3 he could now for
instance play 17. Rc1 with ideas like 18. Qxb4 Nxb4 19. Bb1. The big
difference is that white could take back on d2 with his king.} 17. Rad1 Qxd2
18. Rxd2 Ke7 $10 {King: The king turns out to be well placed on e7, protecting
the e-pawn which could come under attack from a knight moving to g5 at an
unfortunate moment.} 19. g4 $6 {To impatient. 19. g3 followed by 20. Rg2 and
maybe g3-g4 would be one idea of improvement.} hxg4 20. hxg4 fxg4 $1 {In
connection with the next move the tactical refutation of whites 19th move.} 21.
Nxg4 Raf8 {[%csl Rd4,Rf4,Rg6]} 22. Kg2 (22. Ng5 Rh4 $1 (22... Nxd4 $5)) 22...
Rxf4 23. Kg3 Rhf8 24. Be2 {White has achieved some of the positional gains he
wanted. The h-file is opened and Blacks is played with a limited army as Bb7
is almost useless - at least for active operations. Unfortunately the price
has been to high. To many pawn exchanges and a pawn down.} R4f5 25. Rc1 Kd8 {

1. e4 {Going into this game I was in the sole lead with 7 out 8, and a draw
would almost certainly guarantee me the tournament victory. Bauer however
needed to win to have a chance for a prize, so I knew there would be a battle
ahead.} e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 {Usually I play 4.e5, but there are some
tricky lines and Bauer must have prepared something. The textmove I had looked
at during the tournament, but for my girlfriend! As I remembered the lines
pretty well I decided to play it myself as well.} Be7 5. e5 Nfd7 6. Bxe7 {
6.h4 is the sharper option, but as a draw was a good result for me I decided
to play the safer approach.} Qxe7 7. f4 a6 8. Nf3 c5 9. Qd2 Nc6 10. dxc5 Nxc5
11. Bd3 {All of this is pretty old theory, and not many people go for these
lines as white anymore. White probably doesn't have much of an advantage, but
I think my position is quite safe.} O-O 12. O-O {Here is where my opening
knowledge ended.} f6 13. Ne2 $5 {I was surprised to see this was a novelty, as
this is a very standard move in the French. I want to play my knight around to
d4 which will be its best place.} (13. exf6 {is what everyone plays in this
position. I must admit that I hardly considered this move.} Qxf6 14. g3 {
Now White wants to play Rae1 and Ne5, and I think White is a tiny bit better.})
13... Nxd3 14. Qxd3 {Usually whenever Black captures the white bishop in the
French white recaptures with cxd3. White will then have a open c-file to work
with and the pawn on d3 takes some light squares onder control. In the present
position however I saw nothing wrong with taking with the queen however. Next
I want to put a knight on d4 and play my rooks to the center and I liked my
position.} Bd7 {Black develops the bishop. Sometimes he can play his bishop
around to g6 via e8 but this is not so easy to achieve.} 15. Ned4 fxe5 16. Nxe5
{The most natural way to recapture, as my goal is to trade all pieces except
for the black bishop which is not such a great piece.} (16. fxe5 {I considered
this way of recapturing briefly as I had seen a small trick which
unfortunately doesn't work.} Be8 17. Nxe6 $2 {This was my idea, but it doesn't
work.} Bg6 $1 (17... Qxe6 18. Ng5 Rxf1+ 19. Rxf1 Bg6 20. Nxe6 Bxd3 21. cxd3 Re8
22. Nc5 {and the position is very drawish}) 18. Qxd5 Bf7 19. Nfg5 {and White
seems to hold everything together, but...} Qxg5 $1 {and nothing works for
White.} 20. Rxf7 Qe3+ $1 $19) 16... Nxe5 17. fxe5 {I have finally gotten the
position that I wanted. My knight is on d4, and if I would be able to trade
all the heavy pieces I would have a nice endgame. For the moment however there
are still a couple of weak spots in my position, and Bauer tries to make use
of them.} Qb4 $5 {This attacks my pawn, and it isn't so easy to deal with this.
} (17... Rxf1+ 18. Rxf1 Bb5 {was a way to force the trade of the knight
against bishop, but Black will never be able to win the resulting positions.}
19. Nxb5 axb5 20. Qxb5 Rxa2 21. c4 dxc4 22. Qxc4 Ra8 $11) 18. Rfb1 {This move
looks very ugly, as both of my rooks are now in the corner. I didn't see how
Black could make use of this however. And next I will play c3, which will
secure my position and then bring my rooks back into play.} (18. b3 $6 Rxf1+
19. Rxf1 Bb5 20. Nxb5 axb5 {is not good for White as suddenly the pawn on a2
is very hard to defend.} 21. Ra1 Qc5+ 22. Kh1 b4 $17) (18. Qe3 {I considered
this move for a long time, but unfortunately it doesn't work.} Rxf1+ (18...
Qxb2 19. Rfb1) 19. Rxf1 Qxb2 20. Qf2 h6 21. Qf7+ Kh7 22. Nxe6 Qb6+ $1 {and
White loses a piece.}) 18... Rf4 19. c3 Qc5 20. Qd2 (20. Rf1 Bb5 {is not
advisable.}) 20... Raf8 21. Re1 {Unfortunately the desired 21.Rf1 doesn't work
as the pawn on a2 will be left hanging.} (21. Rf1 Rxf1+ 22. Rxf1 Rxf1+ 23. Kxf1
Qc4+ 24. Kf2 Qxa2) 21... Bb5 22. a3 {Black now has strengthened his position
to the maximum. His rooks are on the only open file, his bishop has found some
work and the queen also looks nice. It is however very hard for Black to do
anything next. White doesn't really have any weaknesses in his position and
only White can improve his position.} h6 (22... Rf2 {is a recommendation of
the engine. The resulting positions are probably equal, but to a human mind it
seems strange to simply give up both rooks for a queen.} 23. Qxf2 Rxf2 24. Kxf2
Bd3 $1 {This is the point. The bishop will get to e4, after which the black
queen can attack White's pawn on e5.}) 23. h3 Qe7 {Bringing the queen over to
the kingside and trying to generate some threats. However I do consider this a
small inaccuracy as now I get the opportunity to trade one pair of rooks,
which will make my position much easier to play,} (23... Rf2 {as on the
previous move is probably the best way for Black to proceed.}) 24. Re3 {
Next I will play Rf3 and trade a pair of rooks.} Qf7 (24... Qh4 25. Nxe6 Rf2 (
25... d4 26. Nxd4 Rf2 27. Qe1) 26. Qe1) 25. Rf3 Rxf3 26. Nxf3 Qf4 {Black
trades the queens, which will help me, but it wasn't so easy to suggest
anything else.} 27. Qxf4 Rxf4 28. Re1 Bd3 $6 {I do consider this Black's first
real mistake of the game. Now the trade of the rooks will be forced, and Black
will be left without any counterplay at all.} (28... Kf7 {followed by ...Ke7
seems to me as Black's best possibility. I am maybe slightly better, but Black
will always have some counterplay with his rook and the game should end in a
draw.}) 29. Nd4 Kf7 30. g3 $1 {Now Black is forced to trade the rooks.} Re4 31.
Rxe4 Bxe4 {This is basically White's dream position. The white knight is very
strong, binding the black king to the defence of the pawn on e6 and it can go
to both flanks. The black bishop also may seem like a nice piece, but in fact
it will never be able to do anything as all the white pawns will soon be on
dark squares, making it impossible for him to attack any of them and basically
making the black bishop a ghost.} 32. Kf2 g5 33. Ke3 Bg2 34. h4 {The position
is very hard to defend for Black and it might even be objectively lost. I
think that taking on h4 is the best defensive plan for Black, when Black
remains with a pawn on h6 which isn't easy to attack. Still White can improve
his position and it is very very hard for Black to keep his position together.}
Bf1 (34... gxh4 $1 35. gxh4 Bf1 36. a4 b6 (36... Ke7 37. Nb3 b6 38. a5 bxa5 39.
Nxa5 {is similar to the mainline.}) 37. b4 Ke7 38. a5 (38. Kf4 {seems logical,
but it doesn't achieve much.} Bd3 39. Kg4 Bg6 {and White doesn't book progress.
Note how compared to the game it isn't easy to attack Black on the kingside})
38... bxa5 39. Nc6+ Kf7 40. Nxa5 Kg6 41. Kf4 Kh5 {and Black should be able to
hold a draw I think:} 42. Kg3 Kg6 43. Kg4 Be2+ 44. Kf4 Kh5 45. Kg3 Kg6 46. Nb3
$1 {Now the white knight gets to d4, forcing the black king to f7 when
eventually white will get his knight to f4 making sure the black king will
never be able to get any counterplay on the kingside. When White has achieved
that his king will go to the queenside with very good winning chances.}) 35. a4
{I decided to slowly improve my position, however now I think that it is
better to take on g5 when Black constantly has to worry about my king coming
to g4.} b6 36. b3 (36. hxg5 hxg5 37. b4) 36... a5 $2 {This only helps my
position as now I can very easily make a passed pawn on the queenside with b4.}
37. Nc6 $6 {A huge mistake, I had seen the idea of b4 of course but wanted to
get an even better version, however doing this I forgot that I allow the black
king to become active.} (37. hxg5 hxg5 38. b4 {and now sooner or later White
should win the black pawn on a5 and the game.}) 37... Ke8 $2 {The decisive
mistake, as the black king won't be able to help on the queenside and
should've been trying to get some counterplay on the kingside.} (37... Kg6 $1 {
and now with Black's king becoming active it should be a draw.} 38. Nd4 Bh3 39.
Kf3 Kh5 $11) 38. hxg5 hxg5 39. b4 Kd7 40. Nd4 {Now the black position is
completely hopeless as he can't defend the king and queenside at the same time.
} Bc4 41. bxa5 $1 {A last accurate move.} (41. Kf3 {would've been a terrible
blunder after} b5 $1 {and suddenly Black creates a passed pawn on the
queenside.}) 41... bxa5 42. Kf3 {The rest is simple.} Ba6 43. Kg4 Bc8 44. Nb3
Kc6 45. Nxa5+ Kc5 46. Kxg5 Bd7 47. Kf6 Bxa4 48. g4 Kb6 {Black manages to trap

{Jag hade faktiskt ingen aning om vad som hände.  Hur vill du beskriva partiet.
Nej det var svårt parti. Mycket att räkna på. Svåra val. Sedan när jag fick in
en framstöt i centrum då stod jag bra. Han gjorde några inexakta drag. Jag
försvårade som vanligt vinstföringen genom att komma i tidsnöd.  Det här Sc6.
Vad var det för någonting. Jag antog atthan skulle spela d4 och lura in mig i
Franskt. Jag hade sett partiet Nataf-Morozevich och tänkte att jag kunde testa
det. Det var det enda jag hade hittat på det.   Hur många stormästare har du
slagit. I ett seriöst parti var det det första. Jag har slagit Tiger också men
det var innan han fick sin titel.   Vad sa Hector efter nederlaget. Han sa
inget speciellt. Han verkar ha fin distans till schacket.   Hur har du
förberett dig inför tävligen?  Det var bra veckan innan. då funkade det bra.
Sedan blev jag sjuk, och den här veckan har jag inte kunnat jobba.   Är du
fortfarande sjuk. Ja kass.  Hur jobbade du när det gick bra? Jag förberedde
ganska mycket öppningar faktiskt. Jag tycker det är viktigt att man vet i god
tid vad man skall spela så att man inte velar. När man velar och inte kollar
ordentligt blir man osäker och kommer sämre i partierna. Då är det bättre att
bestämma sig och lära sig ordentligt.   Jag är här i första hand för att lära
mig.  Har du några förebilder? Kasparov Morozevich tycker jag har ett skönt
spel. Han spelar oväntade drag, kreativt, komplicerat.  Vad är roligast med
schack?  Vinna!  Vad gör du annars?  Annars spelar jag lite fotboll, men inte
senaste året. Jag har varit lite skadad och så. Men till höst och framförallt
till nästa år skall jag spela mer.  Var finns ditt hjärta? Jag vet inte men
jag tror faktiskt att det är fotboll. Men det är väldigt kul att spela schack
också. Att först se på fotbolls VM och sedan spela själv är roligt. Då känns
det inte lika viktigt att vinna.  Du tränar ungdomar? Ja, en eller två gånger
i veckan. Senaste säsongen har jag kört två gånger i veckan. Det har gett
resultat, De har gått längre i sina klasser, och gjort bättre resultat i
Skol-SM.  Var för är du tränare? Jag tycker att det är kul att utbilda nya
ungdomar.  Vad är viktigast som tränare? Att eleverna lär sig någonting.  Vad
tycker du om arrangemangen. Jo, jag tycker det ser rätt bra ut. Jag var rädd
att det skulle bli lite varmt, men det blev det inte. Hittills tycker jag att
det är bra.  Hemmason. Någon press?  Nej, ingenting. Jag är i stort sett lägst
rankad.  Vem vinner SM?  Bra fråga. Jag tror mycket som Agrest. Om hans spel
stämmer är han den bästa spelaren. Då har han en dimension till i sitt spel.
Det har han visat genom att vara den enda som gått över 26.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3
e6 3. e4 d5 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e5 Nfd7 6. h4 {Finkel utmålar konskevent
Aljechin-Chatardvarianten som undermålig. Själv tycker jag att varianten
tillfredsställer den moderna angreppsspelaren alla önskemål. Oavsett vad svart
gör kommer han få någon form av problem.} Nc6 {Det här draget har vi inte sett
mycket av. Personligen tycker jag inte om det eftersom det senarelägger svarts
kamp mot centrum, vilken enligt min mening i första hand skall bedrivas med
bönderna i franskt.} ({Det mest principiella är att ta bonden:} 6... Bxg5 7.

ta sig till.}) 8... f6 9. exf6 gxf6 {Nu börjar det bli fason på svarts spel

The1 kommer ge svart problem.}) 11... Qe7 12. a4 {Vad är det med den här
bonden egentligen? En del klarar inte av den roll de har fått. A-bonden skall
vara statist. Om inte regissören stramar upp kommer den här bonden stjäla all
uppmärksamhet.} Rg8 13. Nxd6+ Qxd6 14. c3 Bd7 15. a5 {Hrrmmm.} Nc4 16. a6 {
Det är nästan tur att svart har en bonde på a7, för annars hade den nog gått
lite till.} b6 17. b3 N4a5 {Vit har gett sig själv en svår uppgift. Var skall
kungen ta vägen? För några drag sedan kunde vi alla ta gift på att den skulle
till damflygeln, men nu är det förknippat med suicidaltankar. Kungsflygeln ser
inte heller så lockande ut med tanke på monstertornet på g8. Centrum? Det där
hörde jag inte.} 18. g3 O-O-O 19. Be2 e5 {[#] Ett härligt drag.} 20. dxe5 $6 {

eländig eftersom han gjorde detta drag.} ({Kanske var} 26. Rc1 {bättre. Idén
