{This game was played in the last round of the World University Chess
Championship in Zuerich (SUI). One could hardly imagine that we both had 4 out
of 8. In any case, I always give such a big importance to last round games,
because for me the period after a tournament ends is an important one, and if
you're in a good mood, that helps whatever you're doing next on your life.} 1.

B, since I avoid any kind of 8th rank issues (I can just have Kg7 now), and my
e7 P is protected in some cases. The drawback would be leaving the Bishop more
vulnerable to N attacks (Ne4, Nd5), but my B on b7 is taking care of that.} (

{This was the 30th classical game I have played against Alex Fier - the 1st
one was back in 2003. We have played 10 draws so far - with only one below 40
moves. And still, whenever we make a draw and the game is not published yet,
people will imagine we didn't play, since we have been great friends for a
long time. Now, I present you another one of the 10 hard-fought draws, with
everything happening from beginning to end. Oh, and just for the record, it
doesn't matter who has won the most games, keeping scores is overrated :)} 1.
e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 g6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Bg7 6. Be3 Nf6 7. Bc4 O-O 8. Bb3
d6 {Teasing White into the normal Dragon. Instead, Black has 3 options to keep
on playing the 'Accelerated Dragon':} (8... a5 9. O-O a4 10. Nxa4 Nxe4 {
with an unclear position. White has good results here, since Black's position
will be restricted after the following natural moves: Nb5, Qe2, Ra(or f)d1, c4.
} 11. Nb5 d5) (8... Qa5 9. O-O d6 10. h3 Bd7 {the most solid approach. White
will follow up with Re1 and possibly Qe2, Rad1, even Nf3 in some positions (to
avoid Nxd4-Bc6, when Black improves the e3-B to d4, but breathes a little bit
in a restricted position)} 11. Re1 $14) (8... Ng4 {the drastic approach:} 9.
Qxg4 Nxd4 {Black will get the B-pair, but White's pieces will be just
amazingly placed (not to mention the newly-born a1-R after axb3)} 10. Qd1 (10.
Qh4 $5) 10... Nxb3 11. axb3 $14 {with Bd4, 0-0 to follow and a very
comfortable position.}) 9. f3 Bd7 10. h4 $5 {With this move, White inhibits 10.
..Nxd4, since then White will try an idea connected with h5 right away (with
the Q still on d1).} (10. Qd2 {is more common, again turning it into an
'Accelerated-like position' after:} Nxd4 11. Bxd4 b5 $13 {with a5 to follow.
White could try 12.a4 right away, for a positional play, or 12.h4 and 13.h5, a
more ambitious try.}) 10... h5 (10... Nxd4 11. Bxd4 b5 12. h5 $1 $40) 11. Qd2
Rc8 12. O-O-O Ne5 {But we're finally back to the traditional, old and good,
Yugoslav Attack into the Sicilian Dragon. There's a difference though, in that
I have played h4 already, when that is a small improvement for Black if I want
to play the Kb1 line.} 13. g4 $5 {An interesting idea - there's a similar
position with the K on b1 and the R on e8. There are some differences for both
sides, but generally I feel this is highly interesting and extremely dangerous
for Black - of course, there's a chance I might end without pieces at all, but
that's life.} (13. Kb1 {is possible, but would be more precise with the pawns
on h2 and h7} Nc4 $1 14. Bxc4 Rxc4 {With the h-Ps situated on their initial
positions, g4! now would lead to a critical position, and supposedly good for
White} 15. Nde2 $13 {instead, this is possible now. Funnily enough, IM
Santiago played this idea against the very same Fier 2 rounds later.}) 13...
hxg4 14. h5 Nxh5 15. Bh6 {Threatening Rxh5 and Qg5 next.} Kh7 $1 {Black enters
the red-zone (the h-file), but forces a decision.} (15... e6 {had been the
most common move here. Now we go into a forced line:} 16. Rdg1 Qf6 17. Bxg7 (
17. fxg4 $2 {one of the differences from the Kb1 Re8 position} Bxh6 18. Qxh6
Qf4+ $1 $17) 17... Qxg7 18. fxg4 Nf6 19. g5 Nh5 $13 {White remains a pawn down,
but there's a lot to be said here in forthcoming games.}) 16. Bg5 $1 {It's
hard to begin to analyse Black's possibilities here; they are nearly endless
and many of them are highly interesting, but need to be analysed in depth.
Just to mention a few - 16...a5!?, 16...Nc4!?, 16...Rc5!?, 16...Rc4!?} (16.
Rxh5 $2 gxh5 17. Rh1 {these kind of ideas won't work that easily:} Rh8 18. Rxh5
Kg8 19. Qg5 Rxh6 20. Rxh6 Qb6 $19) (16. Bxg7 Kxg7 {is possible, but I feel
that my move keeps the position more interesting - besides, now with the R on
f8, Bg5 makes sense, since the e7=P is more vulnerable} 17. f4 Nc4 18. Bxc4
Rxc4 19. f5 Rh8 $44 {but I feel Black is going to consolidate somehow, and the
pressure won't be strong enough}) 16... Rxc3 $5 {The N was going to d5, which
makes this a good practical decision. I have to take with the P, making my K
also vulnerable in some positions.} 17. bxc3 gxf3 18. Nf5 $1 {With the
newly-born f5-P, the b3-B will be a monster, and Black's K will start to face
some real problems.} Bxf5 19. exf5 Qc7 $5 {Now again, White has tons of
interesting moves, like Qd4, that never crossed my mind. The idea is to simply
play fxg6+ and Qe4, thus creating an unstoppable Rxh5+ threat.} (19... Qd7 $5 {
whenever White plays fxg6+ right away, Black will be safe and good after fxg6,
since the R is playing an important defensive-attacking role (supporting the
f2-P)} 20. Qf4 $1 {making this a forced and annoying move} Kg8 $5 (20... Rh8 {
suggested by the computer, probably the best, but odd-looking, since after Kg8,
fxg6 could be winning at any moment, and the Q-side could remain unprotected
with the R stuck on h8}) 21. Qe4 $1 e6 22. Rxh5 $1 gxh5 (22... exf5 $4 23. Rh8+
$3 {boom! This important and hard to predict move decides the game right away}
(23. Qh4 $2 gxh5 24. Qxh5 {doesn't work now, because Black has time for Ng4 
(controlling f6 and h6) and Re8 (freeing f8 for the K} Ng4 $19) 23... Bxh8 24.
Qh4 {now Black has to lose an additional tempo because of the attack on the
h8-B} Bg7 25. Rh1 Re8 26. Bf6 $18) 23. f6 $13 {with a weird, far from clear
position.}) 20. Kb1 {A flexible, and always useful move.} (20. Qd4 $5 e6 21.
fxe6 fxe6 22. Bxe6 Bh6 $13 {another crazy Dragon position. White remains an
exchange up, but both Ks are weak and the verdict remains unclear.}) 20... d5
$5 {Sort of distracting my pieces from their ideal positions, and 'closing'
the a2-g8 diagonal for a move.} 21. Qxd5 e6 (21... Qxc3 22. Qe4 $1 (22. Bd2 Qc6
$1 {now this is possible, because the e7-P is not hanging, as it was before.
Without the Qs, the position is safer for Black, and remains unbalanced} 23.
Qxc6 bxc6 24. Be3 $13) 22... Kg8 $1 (22... Nd3 {doesn't work, since there is a
forced mate after:} 23. fxg6+ Kg8 24. gxf7+ Rxf7 25. Bxf7+ Kxf7 26. Qxe7+ Kg6

Qxc3 is a strong threat} 26. Bf6 Bxf6 27. Qxg6+ Bg7 28. Qxh5 Re8 $11 {probably
leading to a draw soon.}) 22... fxg6 23. Qxe6 Qxc3 {In the middle of the mess,
Black loses his way.} (23... f2 $1 {had to be played, avoiding Rd6 ideas} 24.

get out:} Nf3 27. Bc1 Ng5 $1 {now a devastating ...Ne4 is threatened, and the
3 minor pieces are doing a fine job defending the lonely K} 28. Bxf4 Qxf4 29.
Bd5 {forced} Qc7 $1 30. Rd3 $13 {Apparently the lethal threats have been
stopped, but it's once again clear that Black still has ongoing counterplay.})

White already has a won position, but has to play carefully not to spoil it.} (

stopped and a Bd4 threat might be very annoying.} Qe7 {it is hard to give any
other advice for Black, he's already lost. And, in time trouble (that I had
probably had for some moves already), I lose my way and allow my opponent into
a decent endgame, instead of the demolishing 27.Qd5!} (26... f2 $2 27. Bxf2

(27. Qd5 $1 {When he played 26...Qe7 I had like 1 or 2 minutes. I got down to
10 seconds and I was sure I should play 27.Qd5, but a few seconds later, I
forgot that he still can't play 27...f2 (because of 28.Bxf2!) and decided to
exchange Qs when I was down to nearly 3, or 4 seconds. I think that the
move-selection process comes to an end at the 10 or 8-second mark. After that,
you're just so worried about the clock that your brain is not going to think
properly. After this, the deadly Rxg6 threat decides the game, there's just no
way to defend against it.} Z0 28. Rxg6 Kxg6 29. Qe4+ Rf5 30. Rg1+ $18 {with
mate to follow in a few moves.}) 27... Rxe7 28. Bg5 $2 (28. Bxa7 $16 {with
some chances.}) 28... Re8 29. Bd5 Bf8 30. Rd8 Rxd8 31. Bxd8 Bc5 $4 {Returning
the favour.} (31... f2 $1 $13 {should've been played! White must be highly
careful with these N moves, and in time trouble, it is always easy to overlook

to defend your pawns! It is probably more interesting here than in the move
before, because in that case, Black could choose 5...d6 with g6-Bg7, a good
development for the f8-B, or even 5...Bc5!? With this order, I restrict those
possibilities, allowing, on the other hand, the Open Ruy Lopez (5...Nxe4).} b5

it feels comfortable for White.}) 10. Bc2 $5 {In the day before, I had
prepared mostly for various Sicilians, that used to be in the taste of my
opponent. He had played some 1...e5 lately, but then I was down for 6.d3 and
just play chess. Accidentally, I bumped into these two Karjakin and Grischuk
games with 10.Bc2, and during the game I thought for a while to try and
understand it - something I did not succeed in doing - but at least avoiding
this typical Na5-c5 plan seemed interesting, so why not give it a try?} Re8 {
As usual, I already started tanking here, because  A) the position is rich,
complex and has many subtleties,  B) I always do that!} 11. h3 Bf8 {Now I
remembered Grischuk had played some Bg5 idea, in a similar position after Bf8
and got a great position, mostly because Kamksy allowed the doubling of the
f-pawns.} 12. Re1 (12. Bg5 {White had Re1 instead of h3, actually} h6 $2 (12...

strange looking move, since I can have Bb3 at some point.} 16. Kh2 {Let me be
perfectly honest - I didn't want to commit to anything and wanted to see what
his next move was. Neither d4, b4, axb5 nor anything seemed fantastic at the
moment. And I didn't see highly constructive moves for him either. I find the
position so interesting because there's nothing clear to do for either side -
everything seems to involve some sort of a concession.} Rb8 17. axb5 $1 {

started to feel I would have some pressure on the some light squares, the a
file, and the N on c6 would be awkard for some time, meaning I was pretty
happy with my opening achievement so far. Besides, I had +1 in the tournament
and needed to fight more than ever to score 2 wins in the last rounds.} Nc5 22.

me, but could've been played} Ne7 $1 $13 {my feeling was that whenever he gets
to play this and c6 next, there are no clear reasons for him to be worse - ok,
I've got the a-file, but he can fight that.}) 23... Ne6 24. g3 (24. h5 {
after all it didn't seem so clear if it's that bad if he just takes the pawn,

remaining N at f3 won't be such an amazing piece, if I exchange a couple of
minor pieces, and the d3-pawn could also get under pressure (that is if I
exchange everything)}) 30. Qb3 Qb8 31. Kg2 {Always useful - now also freeing
h2 for the N.} Qb7 (31... h5 {It was time to avoid h4-h5 once for all. After

maybe Rc1 with Qd1, as in the game.}) 32. Rc1 (32. h5 $1 {was good enough

{In this tournament I obtained my first Brazilian Championship title - after a
0,5/2 start, I had 7 straight wins, and at this moment I was facing the 2nd
placed, a young talented player, who was half a point behind me. It was indeed
the crucial game, as I came close to losing at some point. But at the end,
with a couple of important defensive moves, I secured the draw and the
championship in the following last round.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4.

bxc6 14. dxc5 Qxc5 15. Bxg7 Kxg7 16. Nd2 {=/+/= White keeps the upper hand
with Rfc1, some Qb2 or Qc3+ followed by Nb3. In many games, White had a slight
annoying initiative on the Q-side. I thought an option would be to go deeper
into this position, but it felt like it was always somewhat difficult for
Black. Thus, I invested my time in preparing this new 12...Ng5!? idea.}) 13.

$16) 14. Kh1 cxd4 15. exd4 Rd8 $13 {with a complicated position} 16. d5 $4 {
is sort of a weak move, I would say:} Qg1+ $1 17. Rxg1 Nf2# {not a bad finish!}

f4 line).}) 13... bxc6 14. Qxb6 axb6 15. Bxc6 Ra7 16. Nd2 {This is the most
logical move, and the one I spent more time worrying about during my
preparation.} (16. a4 $5 {This weird move was seen in both of these
aforementioned games. The idea is to avoid Ra4 in some lines (after a possible
Nc3-Nb5)} Bh3 {feels like the most logical way to activate. The other game was
strange} 17. Rc1 Rc8 $44 {1/2-1/2 (48) Chazalette,J (2291)-Querci,A (2320)

Now I have to admit I was pretty excited about being able to play this Ng5,
and to have a huge time advantage by now, in such an important game, as the
last round of the Olympiad. We had 14 points out of 20, and a win would mean
the best result ever for our team. I remembered from my analysis that Black
was fine here, but I blitzed the following 2 moves out of memory, a huge
mistake!} cxd4 (18... Nh3+ $1 19. Kh1 (19. Bxh3 $6 Bxh3 20. Rfc1 Rdc8 $15 {
it's the kind of position I was looking for - soon getting the P back, and

white K}) 19... cxd4 20. Bxd4 Bxd4 $5 (20... Rxc4 21. Bxb6 Rd6 {This was the
line I remembered very clearly, but during the game I forgot to play 18...

or double-checking things during the game} 22. Bd4 Bxd4 23. Nxd4 e5 $44 {

his additional P.} (19... Bxd4 {would still be similar to the analysis above}
20. Nxd4 Nh3+ 21. Bxh3 Bxh3 22. Rfb1 Rxc4 23. Rxb6 e5 $44 {way better than the
endgame I reached. Here Black is clearly without problems, since the a-P is a
real target, and the K weakness could also play an important role.}) 20. Bxb6
Rd6 21. Rac1 $1 {Suddenly I started to realise I had made a mistake mixing
moves. But I also felt it wouldn't be easy for him, since I would be able to
get the B-pair (in worse conditions, but still, Black is able to put up strong
resistance).} Nh3+ 22. Bxh3 Rxc1 23. Rxc1 Bxh3 24. Bc5 Ra6 25. a3 $1 {Here I
planned on bringing my K closer to the centre first of all. Since it is not
clear how White will advance his a-P.} (25. Bxe7 Rxa2 $14 {would have made my
life easier.}) 25... Kf8 (25... Bb2 $6 {going after the poisoned P is not a
good idea} 26. Rb1 Bxa3 $4 27. Ra1 $1 Be6 28. Nd4 $18) 26. Nd4 Bd7 27. f3 Ke8
28. Kf2 Ra8 29. Bb4 {I felt my opponent was playing very precisely, and was
ready to squeeze me in this endgame. I wasn't really sure what my plan was - I
didn't want to play ...e5, since giving up these central squares could be
trouble for me. I considered exchanging Rs, but I could do it later If I had
to. So probably I was going to wait and see what his intentions were.} h5 (

no rush for me to give my B-pair away. And this position also seemed like
potential long suffering for me, so I decided not to go for any direct actions.
I also noticed it wouldn't be too easy to activate my R here, and also when
White plays Re1, I will be forced to play e6, leaving many weak dark-squares 
(allowing a K invasion at some point).}) 30. Nb3 Ba4 (30... Bb2 {at first I
didn't understand why I couldn't take on a3} 31. Rb1 Bxa3 $4 32. Ra1 Rb8 33.

to c4, and trying to create some additional pressure?} Rc8 $5 {now it could be
a good time to exchange the Rs} 33. Nb3 Rxc5 34. Nxc5 Bc6 {here White could
choose not to push his P right now, but then it looks hard to make any progress

also felt slightly confused as to whether my opponent had just forgotten about
it or felt he had no chances to push harder. In any case, we ended up drawing
this match against the strong Romanian team, finishing the Oolympiad in 22nd
place, overall a great result for Brazil!} 1/2-1/2

An interesting line for Black. Normally, Black goes for c4 at some point 
(after 8.Qb1 for example, forcing it), and a long positional struggle takes
place. Instead of that, I tried to find something to open up the position
early on, with a quick dxc5, as soon as he plays b6 (a typical move to insert
Ba6)} 8. Qg4 $5 Kf8 9. Qd1 {After Black has lost the right to castle, the
queen can go back home, a thematic idea in the Winawer variation.} b6 10. dxc5

possible, because it is going to take a while before the black king finds a
decent shelter (g6-Kg7 wouldn't be smart, without having the dark-squared
bishop).} Ba6 (11... Ne7 $5 {was another possibility} 12. cxd5 exd5 13. Nf3 {

point e6 ideas will appear, as well as a direct attack against the central
pawns on c5/d5.} (14. f4 {had been played before. I didn't like this move

my own king as well.} Ne7 15. Nf3 h5 (15... g6 $5 $13 {even this was possible,

IM Evandro Barbosa half a point behind me with 5,5/7, meaning I could take no
rest and had to play every one of the remaning 4 games for the win. In this
