{[%mdl 2] 26/9 Vor dieser letzten Runde führte ich mit einem glatten Punkt Vorsprung vor Uhlmann und Farago. Auf Remis zu spielen konnte ich damals nicht besonders gut. Hort hatte wegen eines Todesfalles einige Partien vorge"spielt" und war nach Prag gefahren. Zur letzten Runde sollte er zurück sein, aber die Spekulationen blühten, ob er überhaupt kommen würde. Für mich waren das keine günstigen Voraussetzungen, würde ich mal als Amateurpsychologe und aus heutiger Sicht sagen.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d3 Nc6 4. g3 g6 5. Bg2 Bg7 6.

{Through an unusual move-order the game transposed into a fianchetto Dragon Sicilian, which is not considered to be the most dangerous variation for Black, but it is more positional than usual. Goganov lashed out with a quick e6-d5 which had never been tried before, and probalby for good reason. Despite Black's slight compensation, he was after all just down a pawn. Kramnik consolidated his pawn and proceeded to outplay Goganov in a technical endgame.} 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 c5 3. Bg2 g6 4. d4 ({RR} 4. c4 Nc6 5. d4 d6 6. dxc5 dxc5 7. Qxd8+ Nxd8 8. Nc3 Bg7 9.

{Kramnik was on a high after three wins in the three previous rounds. (draws in the first two rounds). Today he played the young Russian Sanan Sjugirov. In 2010, Sanan had beaten Magnus (2826) in Khanty Mansiysk Olympiad 2010. So he could not be taken lightly.} 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 d5 3. Bg2 c6 4. d3 Bg4 5. O-O {When I had just started playing chess, my coach advised me to play these exact five moves from the white side just so that I wouldn't lose the game quickly. As for Kramnik, he plays this setup just so that he can play an original game without much opening theory.} Nbd7 6. Qe1 {Kramnik has good experience with this line as he played it with the white pieces against Vitiugov in the Alekhine Memorial in 2013 and against Levon Aronian with the black pieces in 2010.} e5 7. e4 {of course the threat is now exd5 followed by taking on e5.} Bd6 {This idea had not been played by any grandmaster before. It can be assumed that Sjugirov had analysed this at home and wanted to test Kramnik in a new line. It turns out that Vladimir was in mood to refute this system of play by Black.} (7... dxe4 {is the main line in this position.} 8. dxe4 Bd6 9. Nbd2 O-O 10. h3 Bh5 11.

Even though White has the bishop pair, the symmetrical pawn structure should give Black good chances to equalise.}) 9. Nh4 {A very interesting idea. The knight eyes the f5-square and also frees the way for the f-pawn. The development of the queenside pieces can wait for the time being.} O-O 10. g4 Bg6 11. g5 (11.

In order to win the pawn he has definitely to burn his bridges. He has pushed his kingside pawns in such a fashion that weaknesses abound in plenty and one gets the feeling that Black should have enough compensation for the missing pawn.} cxd5 13. Nxg6 hxg6 14. Bxd5 Nf4 $44 {Sjugirov makes the most logical move. He attacks the d5 bishop and also the g5-pawn forcing White to take the knight on f4.} 15. Bxf4 exf4 16. h4 {These kingside pawns might look weak but one important fact to understand here is that Black would like to break this structure with f6 at some point but with the bishop so strongly placed on d5, it is simply impossible. My chess sense tells me that Black should definitely have compensation here but Kramnik's subsequent play casts doubt on it.} Qc8 {Openly eyeing the c2-pawn and in a stealthy way also the g4-square!} 17.

After all that's the reason why he played in such aggressive fashion in the opening.} (17. Nc3 Ne5 18. Qe4 Qg4+ 19. Qg2 Qxh4 $132 {gives Black a lot of counterplay.}) 17...

The "Kasparov" knight on f5 in particular casts a spell on the position. I think what we now see in this game and also other games in Shamkir is why Carlsen could now be called "The Pitbull" What he demonstrated in this tournament and has been doing for a number of years is that when he gains an advantage it's incredibly hard to shake his grip, rather like a pitbull. It was quite scary to see in this game that Maxime lost without making an easily identifiable mistake. Perhaps he just played a slightly dubious opening. But that's enough. Kramnik make a slight tactical error against Magnus in their game just out of the opening and that was enough to ensure a loss. It's a quite frightening level. Watching the world snooker championships this year, I watched a frame where Chinese player Ding played a slightly poor break-off shot against Judd Trump and never got another shot, as Trump potted a long red and then cleared all the balls without any effort. I think it's fair to say it's similar in chess now, that one slight mistake can be enough to cost you the game, or at least to make life very difficult.} d6 14. Bg5 $1 {Straightforward and effective.

Bg4+ {Kicking the king back before trading, wins a tempo.} Kb8 17. Nxd6 Rxd6 18. Rxd6 {I didn't hesitate. Without creating the minor imbalance in the pawn structure, I didn't believe in my chances.} cxd6 19. Re3 $1 {Putting some pressure on Black, as Rf3 is a threat now. Black's issue is that his kingside pawn structure is a little bit meh.} Kc7 $2 {Black decides for some reason to delay h5 and puts his pieces in a very uncomfortable position.} (19... h5 {was natural and better. Black perhaps didn't want to place pawns on the light squares, creating potential targets, but I feel it's more important to keep good piece coordination at this point, with rooks still on the board.} 20. Be2 Kc7 {and I thought it's important that Black has the idea of pushing f7-f5, which even though creates a weakness on h5, gives him some counterplay in the center. White's edge here is very minimal.}) 20. Rf3 Nd8 {Understandably this may seem likely temporary, but still, a very awkward square for the knight.} 21. h4 $1 {Preventing h5-h4, after which the h8 rook would get some breathing air along the h-file. Now Black risks to get suffocated, as it is surprisingly hard to kick the White rook away from f6 once it lands there. Then White has easy ways to improve the position, centralizing the king, and advancing the queenside pawns, with final blow being inevitable. Not waiting to die a slow death, Black chooses a desperate, yet a very strong practical pawn sacrifice.} d5 $1 {A good start at succesfully solving the problems that Black had created for himself with delaying h5.} 22. exd5 f5 23. Bh3 Kd6 (23... Nf7 $5 {Bringing the knight into the game was a fine way to play, when I would be definitely very tempted to change the charachter of play and sacrifice the piece.} 24. Bxf5 $5 gxf5 25. Rxf5 {With three pawns already and likely a very annoying pin after 25...Rf8, White has more than enough for the pieces, though Black should be able to hold this with perfect play.}) (23... b6 {This was Sam's suggestion after the game. Black isn't losing here and it's a huge improvement on the game, but to say that he is totally fine here would be an exaggeration.} 24. g4 f4 {White can choose to play slowly, or try to force the matters with a nice practical try.} 25. d6+ Kxd6 26. Rd3+ Ke7 27. g5 {And the rook is about to penetrate, though with 27...h6! Black starts getting some counterplay, which is likely enough to hold in the end, with perfect play. Though it is quite on the edge already.}) 24. c4 b6 $2 {This is the losing mistake. Things just don't work, as Black had likely missed the Ra3-Rb3 idea altogether and certainly with the inclusion of 25.g4! f4. Black had to play something else, for example 24...Nf7.} (24... Nf7 $1 {Bringing the knight into the game was the best way to play.} 25. Bf1 {a sample line.} e4 26. Ra3 Ra8 27. f4 exf3 28. Rxf3 Ne5 29. Ra3 b6 {White is up a pawn, but Black does have a decent defensive setup here, with a blockade. White could also try something else on move 25. Perhaps 25.g4!? or 25.Ra3.}) 25. g4 $1 {Down the forced line, the inclusion of g4-f4 is hugely in White's favor.} Nf7 {Desperation. With two pawns in the bag the rest turned out to be within my powers.} (25... f4 26. Ra3 $1 {it would appear as though a5 is what Black wants anyway, but with the knight so badly placed on d8, he has concrete issues here.} a5 27. Rb3 Kc7 28. d6+ Kxd6 29. Rxb6+ {and the point of including g4 f4 is that now 29...Nc6 is met by 30.Bg2! and there is no e4, with pawn not being on f5 to protect it.}) 26. gxf5 g5 27. Ra3 {Black still has the a5 Rb3 issue with his soft queenside pawns.} gxh4 {Attempt at counterplay, but there isn't enough.} 28. Rxa7 Ng5 29. Kg2 {The simplest. The idea is that after 29...Rg8 30.f6! there isn't any good discovery checks for Black.} Rc8 30. b3 b5 {Allowing a forced win, as White can trade down into an even simpler endgame. At this point Black had no good defense anyway.} 31. Ra6+ Kd7 32. f6+ Nxh3 33. Kxh3 bxc4 34. Rc6 {The rook endgame is easily winning with many passed pawns, some of which will be connected.} 1-0

Alternatively 4.d4 is the main-move, leading to the symmetrical Grunfeld.} e5 5. d3 Nc6 6. e4 {It's time to make a move in the center. It does allow a trade of queens though.} dxe4 7. dxe4 Qxd1 8. Rxd1 {The endgame is symmetrical, but there is a lot of life left in the position. My main hopes were connected to the fact that the knight on c6 is a bad piece, after the eventual c3, restricting it. This is a common theme also from the Italian game, the opening that is very dear to me (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4).} Bg4 9. c3 Nf6 10. Nbd2 O-O-O {Same goes for the plan with long castle. It is not clear where the king is better placed, but bring the rook across to the d-file in one go (compared to 0-0 and Rfd8, which loses a move) was tempting.} 11. Re1 {Moving out of the pins and preparing Nc4.} Bh6 {A clever idea, intending to trade the dark squared bishops. Looking at the e4 and e5 pawns this seems to be a good idea, but it does cost Black some time.} 12. Nc4 {The trade of the bishops was anyway inevitable.} Bxc1 13. Raxc1 Bxf3 {Black gives up the bishop, not wanting to worry about any Ng5 stuff. A small concession, but since White doesn't have the bishop pair, not a big deal.} 14.

Both seemed to give a very, very minor edge to me and while in both cases I felt it can evaporate quickly, finally I settled on what I did in the game. In hindsight, it was a good choice.} Nd6 16.

Without creating the minor imbalance in the pawn structure, I didn't believe in my chances.} cxd6 19. Re3 $1 {Putting some pressure on Black, as Rf3 is a threat now. Black's issue is that his kingside pawn structure is a little bit meh.} Kc7 $2 {Black decides for some reason to delay h5 and puts his pieces in a very uncomfortable position.} (19... h5 {was natural and better. Black perhaps didn't want to place pawns on the light squares, creating potential targets, but I feel it's more important to keep good piece coordination at this point, with rooks still on the board.} 20.

White's edge here is very minimal.}) 20. Rf3 Nd8 {Understandably this may seem likely temporary, but still, a very awkward square for the knight.} 21. h4 $1 {Preventing h5-h4, after which the h8 rook would get some breathing air along the h-file. Now Black risks to get suffocated, as it is surprisingly hard to kick the White rook away from f6 once it lands there. Then White has easy ways to improve the position, centralizing the king, and advancing the queenside pawns, with final blow being inevitable. Not waiting to die a slow death, Black chooses a desperate, yet a very strong practical pawn sacrifice.} d5 $1 {A good start at succesfully solving the problems that Black had created for himself with delaying h5.} 22. exd5 f5 23.

Black isn't losing here and it's a huge improvement on the game, but to say that he is totally fine here would be an exaggeration.} 24. g4 f4 {White can choose to play slowly, or try to force the matters with a nice practical try.} 25. d6+ Kxd6 26.

With two pawns in the bag the rest turned out to be within my powers.} (25... f4 26.
