{Im zweiten WM-Kampf stand es nach 15 Partien 71/2:71/2, Kasparov musste also
aus den verbleibenden neun Partien mindestens fünf Punkte holen, um seinem
Erzrivalen Karpov den WM-Titel abzunehmen. Einen Grundstein zu seinem
Matchsieg legte er in der nachfolgenden Partie. Selten mußte Karpov als Weißer
eine derart vernichtende Niederlage hinnehmen, mir persönlich fällt als
vergleichbarer Fall nur die Begegnung zwischen Karpov und Kasparov in Linares
1993 ein. Bei meinen Kommentaren habe ich mich auf die folgenden Quellen
gestützt: 1) Kasparovs Kommentare im Informator 40/202; 2) Graham Burgess'
Kommentare in "The World's Greatest Chess Games" von Burgess/Nunn/Emms.} 1. e4

{Dieses Bauernopfer wurde in der Presse das "Straßenbahn-Gambit" genannt.
Warum? Der Erfinder Andras Adorjan, zu jener Zeit Kasparovs Sekundant, hatte
diese Idee während einer Fahrt mit der Straßenbahn! Objektiv ist 8...d5?!
nicht korrekt, wie uns die Anmerkung zum 12. Zug von Weiß zeigt, aber die
Schachwelt sollte Karpov dankbar sein, dass er nicht die Widerlegung fand.
Dabei hatte Kasparov diesen Zug bereits in der 12. Partie des Matches
angewandt und ein kurzzügiges Remis erreicht. Es spricht für Kasparovs Mut 
(und auch gegen Karpovs Vorbereitung), dass die Variante ein zweites Mal aufs
Brett kommt und zu einem glänzenden schwarzen Sieg führt.} 9. cxd5 exd5 10.

{Der 3. WM-Kampf zwischen Karpow und Kasparow sah die Rollen der beiden
Kontrahenten vertauscht: Kasparow als amtierendem Weltmeister genügte ein
Unentschieden, um den Titel zu gewinnen, also ein 12:12 aus 24 Partien.
Zunächst sah es so aus, als würde er dieses Ziel problemlos erreichen, denn
nach 16 Partien führte Kasparow mit 9,5:6,5. Dann musste er in den Partien 17,
18, und 19 jedoch drei Niederlagen hinnehmen und auf einmal wurde das Match
wieder spannend. Kasparow beschuldigte seinen damaligen Sekundanten Wladimirow,
geheime Analysen an Karpow weitergegeben zu haben und so für die drei
Niederlagen verantwortlich zu sein. Kasparow konnte dies jedoch nicht beweisen,
daher liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass er lediglich einen Sündenbock für sein
eigenes Versagen brauchte. Durch den Sieg in der vorliegenden Partie konnte
Kasparow jedoch alle Zweifel an der Titelverteidigung ausräumen und gewann
letztlich mit 12,5:11,5. Bei meinen Kommentaren stütze ich mich auf die
Analysen Kasparows im Informator 42/575.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3

{Kasparow und Karpow saßen sich bereits in mehr als 150 Partien am Schachbrett
gegenüber. Kasparow war in der Regel derjenige, der mit weit ausanalysierten
Eröffnungen und taktischen Schlägen aufwartete, während Karpow sich durch
strategische Übersicht, große Geduld und eine umsichtige Verteidigung
auszeichnete. In der nachfolgenden Partie sind jedoch die Rollen vertauscht.
Kasparow baut sich ganz ruhig auf und sammelt ganz allmählich kleine Vorteile
an. Karpow kommt mit den strategischen Gegebenheiten der Stellung nicht
zurecht und muss schließlich eine verdiente Niederlage hinnehmen. Ich stütze
mich auf die Kommentare von Iossif Dorfman im Informator 44/40.} 1. c4 e5 2.

Terminologie von Steve Mayer, Autor des Buches "Knight v Bishop : The Verdict",
ist der Bg5 ein Läufer, der die Felderfarbe wechselt. Gemeint ist, dass sich
der schwarzfeldrige Läufer gegen einen Springer tauscht, um die Kontrolle über
die weißen Felder zu erhöhen. Dieses Phänomen trifft man häufig in der
Englischen Eröffnung an. In der Partie dient der folgende Abtausch Kasparow
dazu, eine feste Kontrolle über die Felder d5 und e4 zu errichten.} Qe8 ({

Im weiteren Verlauf lässt Karpow seinen Springer zwischen a5 und b7 hin- und

seine Figuren am Königsflügel konzentrieren und sein Figurenübergewicht dort
verwerten.} ({Von Dorfman wird} 20... Nd8 {vorgeschlagen, z.B.} 21. a4 Nf7 22.

{Der 5.WM-Kampf zwischen Karpov und Kasparov in Lyon und New York 1990 war der
letzte zwischen den beiden Dauerrivalen. Kasparov gewann, aber sein Sieg war
nicht so klar, wie allgemein erwartet wurde. Durch den Sieg in der
nachfolgenden Partie konnte Kasparov im Match einen Vorsprung von zwei Siegen
herausarbeiten. Kasparov verlor zwar noch die vorletzte Partie, dennoch
reichte es zu einem knappen 121/2:111/2-Sieg. Bei meinen Analysen stütze ich
mich auf die Kommentare von Kasparov im Informator 50/392.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6

zwischen Karpov und Kasparov.} 11. Nbd2 Bf8 12. a4 h6 13. Bc2 {Die weiße Idee
besteht darin, mittels d4-d5 und b2-b3, c3-c4 einen Bauernkeil zu etablieren.
Schwarz hätte dann permanent mit Raumnachteil zu kämpfen. Daher löst Schwarz
nun die Zentrumsspannung auf.} exd4 14. cxd4 Nb4 15. Bb1 c5 16. d5 {Wir haben
nun eine Bauernstruktur erreicht, die auch aus dem Modernen Benoni bekannt ist.
Schwarz hat ...b5 erreicht, aber seine Leichtfiguren (insbesondere seine
Läufer) stehen ungewöhnlich. Um nicht strategisch ins Hintertreffen zu geraten,
muss er schnell ein Gegenspiel aufziehen.} Nd7 17. Ra3 f5 {Dieser Zug führt zu
extrem scharfen Stellungen, in denen Weiß ein Übergewicht am Königsflügel und
Schwarz ein Übergewicht am Damenflügel erhält. Insgesamt stand diese Variante
viermal zwischen Kasparov und Karpov auf dem Brett, dreimal währendes des
WM-Kampfes in Lyon/New York und einmal in Amsterdam 1991. Kasparov gewann die
vorliegende Partie, die anderen Begegnungen endeten nach dramatischen Kampf
mit einem Unentschieden.} (17... c4 {ist die Hauptalternative hier. Schwarz
will (ggf. unter Bauernopfer) seinen Springer nach d3 stellen. Allerdings
steht Weiß auch hier besser.}) 18. Rae3 {Weiß bringt den Turm ins Spiel.} (18.

besser, wenn er den Schwarzen auf e4 schlagen läßt anstatt selbst auf f5 zu

{Kasparov gewann die inoffizielle Turnierweltmeisterschaft in Linares 1993
genauso souverän wie im Jahr zuvor. Die Partie der Rivalen Kasparov und Karpov
geht als 162. in die Statistik ein (von nun 165 insgesamt) und zeichnet sich
durch zwei Besonderheiten aus: a) Karpov verliert so katastrophal wie selten
zuvor und das auch noch mit den weißen Steinen. b) es gibt einen kleinen
Zwischenfall - siehe Kommentar beim 24. Zug von Schwarz.} 1. d4 {Anand,V} Nf6

Hauptvariante 7.d5 aus.} c6 8. Qd2 Nbd7 9. Rd1 {Und damit verläßt der
Exweltmeister endgültig die Theoriepfade. Gut bearaten war er damit wohl nicht.
In der Vergangenheit hatte Kasparov einige Male Probleme in den Hauptvarianten
des Sämisch-Systems gehabt.} a6 $1 {Kasparov hatte hier seinen 14. Zug schon
im Auge.} 10. dxe5 $6 {Natürlich wäre der Turmzug im Falle von 10.d5 sinnlos
gewesen, doch die Bauernstruktur zu schließen war wohl das kleinere Übel.} Nxe5

dauerhaften Vorteil besitzt.} 11. b3 b5 $1 {Kasparov setzt voll auf seinen

in der Annahme auf d1 könne ein Springer stehen. Am Ende erhielt Karpov, der
sich in hochgradiger Zeitnot befand, einen 2-Minuten-Bonus.} 25. Kxd1 {Anand,V:

15.a3 gave White some security in the centre as the Nc3 was able to maintain
its position. However, we now see the disadvantages of the little pawn move:
Kasparov is able to open the b-file towards the K. Having said that, it will
take some time before the rest of Black's pieces can join in the attack, and
White has his own play on the other side of the board. Topalov's problem is,

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 {This appears to be the
first time that Garry has played the Dragon in a serious tournament game. The
Champion tried the Accelerated Dragon (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6)
against Fritz in an exhibition game , and dabbled with the Dragon in simuls,
but the text must have come as a bit of a shock to Anand. Dies ist offenbar
das erste Mal, dass Garry den Drachen in einer ernsthaften Turnierpartie
anwendet. Bei einer Schaupartie gegen Fritz versuchte der Champion das
beschleunigte Fianchetto (1.e4 c5 2.Sf3 Sc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Sxd4 g6) und riskierte
den Drachen auch bei Simultanveranstaltungen, für Anand aber muss der Textzug
ein kleiner Schock gewesen sein.} 6. Be3 {Vishy chooses the most testing

Anand's seconds: Wolff-Kir. Georgiev, Biel (Izt) 1993 Keine theoretische

Garry mentioned more than once after the game that, "White has no real chances
for an advantage in the Dragon if he doesn't play g2-g4 ." Weiß strebt
Vereinfachungen an, da er keine wirklichken Angriffschancen besitzt. Garry
wies nach der Partie mehrfach darauf hin, dass "Weiß im Drachen keine echten
Chancen auf Vorteil hat wenn er nicht White g2-g4 zieht."} Qxd2 {Kasparov
offered a draw after making his move.  Nach diesem Zug bot Kasparov remis an.}
20. Rxd2 {Anand thought for four minutes before declining the draw, the first
time in the match that an offer has been refused. During the press conference
Garry compared this game with number 47 of his epic first match with Anatoly
Karpov. That game saw Karpov decline a draw in a dead equal endgame and go on
to lose. Something similiar happens here. Anand überlegte vier Minuten, bevor
er ablehnte. Zum ersten Mal im Match wurde ein Remisangebot ausgeschlagen.
Während der Pressekonferenz verglich Garry diese Partie mit der 47. Begegnung
seines epischen ersten Matches gegen Anatoly Karpov. Damals lehnte Karpov in

A repeat of the Dragon came as a bit of a surprise for the Grandmasters in the
pressroom. They expected a return to the Najdorf/Scheveningen seen in games 1,
3,5,7, and 9. The text makes one wonder who was in Garry's camp when he made
his pre-match preparations. None of his seconds - Grandmasters Evgeny Pigusov,
Yury Dokhoian and Vladimir Kramnik - play the Dragon with either color. Nor
are any of them regular practioners of 1.e4, Garry's favorite choice as White
in this match. Maybe Grandmaster Sergei Tiviakov spent some time with Garry.
He's one of the world's leading experts on the Dragon, plays 1.e4 exclusively,
and was a teammate of Kasparov's on the Russian A team in Moscow last December.

Anand's puzzling decision to open the position with his King in the center, by
pointing out that White's opening play was based on pressure against e7. When
Black plays ...e7-e5 the weak pawn becomes a strong one and Vishy couldn't

Kasparov has pointed out more than once, that the contestants in this match
are playing under much more difficult conditions than previous World
Championships. They play four games a week instead of the usual three, and no
time outs are allowed. When Karpov blundered horribly in game 11 (22...Rcd8??)

{Die 14.Partie machte deutlich wie angeschlagen Anand wirklich war.Aus einer
sehr guten Stellung heraus ließ er seinen Vorteil peu a peu aus den Fingern
gleiten,um die Partie ganz am Ende mit einem riesigen Patzer in den Sand zu
setzen."Anand",so Kasparov,"ist von seinem Team falsch beraten worden.Sie
haben ihn zwar gut auf mich präparirt,aber ihm dabei auch seine Stärken
genommen.Durch die Fixierung auf meine Person ist ihm seine außerordentliche
Kreativität abhanden gekommen.Ihm fehlten dadurch die Mittel,um auf meine
Überraschungen zu reagieren.Anand hat in diesem Wettkampf allerdings auch jede
Zähigkeit vermissen lassen."} 1. e4 d5 {Die Zeiten wo Skandinavisch als
minderwertige Eröffnung verschrien war,in der sich höchstens eine Hand voll
Abenteurer wie beispielsweise Bent Larsen oder Ian Rogers tummelten, sind
schon lange vorüber.Trotzdem überrascht es ein wenig,sie ausgerechnet in der
kritischen Phase eines WM-Finales angewendet zu sehen,und das um so mehr,als
es sich in Bezug auf Anand dabei um ein Novum handeln dürfte.Zu diesem Schritt
bewogen haben wird Anand die Tatsache,daß Kasparovs skandinavische Erfahrung
sich ausschließlich auf zwei Begegnungen beschränkt:einer Simultanpartie gegen
den französischen IM Eric Prie und einer freien Partie mit Fernseh-Entertainer
David Letterman!} 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. d4 Nf6 5. Nf3 c6 {Schwarz gibt

ensuite, car toutes les pièces mineures, а l'exception du Nb3, occupent une

olympiades de Varna en 1962, dans les parties du champion tchèque Miroslav
Filip, et aussi dans l'une des rencontres du match Botvinnik-Petrosian de 1963.

man sieht, dass selbst der stärkste Spieler auf der Erde lieber dieser

argumentieren, dass Kasparov als Spieler mit der besten Eröffnungsvorbereitung
anerkannt ist, aber warum dann nicht Marshall? Meiner Meinung nach ist die

squares. The problem is that with a little patience black can organise the ...
f5 break which will permanently pressure white's centre. White lacks classic
sources of play - strong central squares for the knights, pawn moves which
clamp down on the scope of his opponent's bishop pair. As for white's
remaining bishop, it has successfully manouevred to an active-looking square,
but it is quite unclear where it goes from there} Qd7 14. Qg3 f5 $1 {[%cal

just about no prospects whatever of a brighter future.} gxf5 {[%csl Rg2][%cal

Na3 b5 9. Bxf6 gxf6 10. Nd5 f5 11. Bxb5 axb5 12. Nxb5 Ra4 13. b4 {Up to the
present game the piece sac in connection with this pawn advance brought Shirov
two nice victories. Actually the move 13.b4 was lately the reason for
popularity of the whole bishop sacrifice line. Probably it is time to have a
closer look to 13.b4. White obviously wants to open files on the queenside and
it also defends pawn e4 in a very original and active manner. The move is not
new at all and was first played in 1979, but never considered dangerous
because of the answer 13. ... Rxb4. However, the things proved far from clear
after 14.Nbc7 Kd7 15.0-0, when Black must play very precise in order to avoid
a quick disaster. Black tried several different ways after that, but it became
more or less obvious that White has a good compensation for the piece. In the
former Soviet Union the inventor of the b4 idea was considered Latvian Master
Alvis Vitolinsh. It is not possible to say now if he played it before the
first officially recorded game with 13.b4 ( Tringov,G-Cvetkovic,S/Vrnjacka
Banja 1979), because in chess databases many Soviet tournaments are absent.
Interesting is another factor. Certain is that after two decades another
originally Latvian player contributed to its revival - Alexey Shirov. Maybe we
should name the move 13.b4 the Latvian Variation?  However, the present game
is a serious blow against "Latvian Variation". The psychological effect of
this game might be so strong that we won't see 13.b4 soon in the practice
again, that's why I thought it is better to give this short historical
background now.} (13. Nbc7+ Kd7 14. b4 {would avoid Black's option 13. ... Qh4,
since now 14...Qh4 makes less sense (because the king went on d7 already, see
next comment). Maybe in this case Black can consider taking on b4 with the
knight, although it wasn't played it in the practice yet.} Rxb4 (14... Nxb4 $5

played it after the game Luther,T-McShane,L/Lippstadt 2000. 13... Qh4 has
several ideas. First of all the counterplay on the kingside is typical for
Black in 11.Bxb5 line. Secondly (and most important) Black makes available
square d8 for his king, thus keeping open the diagonal c8-h3 for the bishop.
And finally the queen attacks pawn e4.} (13... Nxb4 $2 {This doesn't work now
because White wins a piece:} 14. Ndc7+ {That's the difference. White gives
check with another knight.} Kd7 15. c3 $16) (13... Rxb4) 14. O-O Rg8 15. f4 {
A slightly dubious novelty. Or let put it this way - the move was already
recommended in the annotations to McShane's game and one would expect that
Shirov had analyzed the arising complications, but the game proved the
opposite.} ({After} 15. c3 f4 {White forced a draw in the above-mentioned game:

instead of 15...f4 to play for more than a draw, but I doubt that.}) 15... Kd8
