{[%mdl 33] The chess tournament organised by the Dutch radio company AVRO was the most representative gathering of all of the strongest chess players of the time. Mikhail Botvinnik was only third (!) in this magnificent event, but his two superb victories over Alekhine and Capablanca gave a serious foundation to his claim to the world title - a dream he eventually fulfilled ten years later. The game described below belongs to the golden treasury of chess. It proves that Botvinnik's strategical vision was already superior to the greatest genius of the old guard. Das Turnier wurde 1938 von dem niederländischen Radio-Hersteller AVRO organisiert und war eine Zusammenkunft der weltbesten Spieler jener Zeit. Mikhail Botvinnik wurde nur dritter (!) in diesem großartigen Turnier, aber seine hervorragenden Siege gegen Aljechin und Capablanca untermauerten seinen ernsthaften Anspruch auf den Titel des Weltmeisters Ä ein Traum, der zehn Jahre später in Erfüllung ging. Die folgende Partie gehört zum goldenen Schatz des königlichen Spiels. Sie beweist, daß Botvinniks strategische Weitsicht bereits damals dem großen Genie der alten Garde überlegen war.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 d5 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 c5 7. cxd5 exd5 {Today we all know that due to Black's premature definition of the pawn structure in the centre White has the better opportunities to gain the initiative. But in those days both opponents were wandering in 'terra incognita' - the routes that were to develop in the Nimzo-Indian Defence were just being formed. Heute wissen wir alle, daß die vorzeitige Festlegung der schwarzen Bauernstruktur im Zentrum Weiß beim Kampf um die Initiative bessere Chancen einräumt. Aber zu jener Zeit wanderten beide Gegner noch auf 'terra incognita' - man hatte gerade erst begonnen, die endgültigen Pfade in der Nimzoindischen Verteidigung zu definieren.} 8. Bd3 O-O 9. Ne2 b6 10. O-O Ba6 { By all chess standards that dominated the minds of the chess players in the 20s and 30s Black has absolutely nothing to complain about. Good pawn structure, easy development, no weaknesses. White isn't even threatening any immediate action. However, Botvinnik felt correctly that a possibility of a central advance e3-e4-e5 (after the preparatory f3) could lead to a violent attack on the kingside. Hard to believe? Well, at least you are thinking along the same lines as the great Cuban champion. Nach allen gängigen Maßstäben der Meister der zwanziger und dreißiger Jahre müßte Schwarz mit dieser Stellung ganz zufrieden sein. Eine gute Bauernstruktur, leichte Entwicklung, keine greifbaren Schwächen. Weiß droht nicht einmal, irgendwelche Aktivitäten zu entfalten. Allerdings fühlte Botvinnik völlig zu Recht, daß die Möglichkeit eines Vorstoßes im Zentrum mit e3-e4-e5 (nach dem vorbereitenden f3) einen scharfen Angriff im Zentrum einleiten könnte. Sie glauben das nicht? Nun, das tat ebensowenig der kubanischen Exweltmeister.} ({In the game Kasparov-Ivanovich, 1983, after hatte Weiß nach} 10... Re8 11. f3 Ba6 12. Ng3 Bxd3 13. Qxd3 Nc6 14. Bb2 c4 15. Qd2 Qd7 16. Rae1 {White has finished mobilizing quickly and effectively. That is how, step by step, through constant practical testing, we are improving old plans. But the most valuable contribution, of course, is to invent a sound long-term strategy! seine Figuren schnell und effizient mobilisiert. Das ist die Art, wie die Meister Schritt für Schritt, durch stetiges praktisches Ausprobieren, die alten Pläne revidieren und durch neue, bessere ersetzen. Der wichtigste Beitrag bleibt indes die Definition der langfristigen Strategie eines solchen Eröffnungssystems!}) 11. Bxa6 {Inzwischen haben uns viele Partien gezeigt, daß man besser sofort 11.f3 spielen und den Zentrumsdurchbruch vorantreiben sollte. Die Dame will ohnehin nach d3 ziehen, und der schwarze Springer erhält keine zweite Option.} ({Subsequent experience has shown that one should prefer} 11. f3 {immediately working on the critical break in the centre.

Qd3 c4 $2 {[%cal Ya6b8,Yb8c6,Yc6a5,Ya5b3] This serious positional mistake has a clear historical background. The 50-year-old Capablanca in his long chess career never dealt with hidden dynamic factors. His unique intuition and rich experience didn't send any danger signals here. Instead he counted on using his opponent's light squares with the long manoeuvre a6-b8-c6-a5-b3. Capablanca simply underestimated the explosive power of White's position. Ein ernsthafter positioneller Fehler, aber einer mit einem klaren geschichtlichen Hintergrund. Der 50jährige Capablanca hatte in seiner langen Schachkarriere nie mit versteckten dynamischen Faktoren zu tun. Seine einzigartige Intuition und reiche Erfahrung haben hier keine Gefahrensignale ausgesandt. Statt dessen hat er damit gerechnet, die weißen Felder des Gegners mit dem langen Manöver Sa6-b8-c6-a5-b3 ausnutzen zu können. Capablanca hat ganz einfach die Explosivkraft der Weißen Stellung unterschätzt.} 15. Qc2 Nb8 16. Rae1 Nc6 17. Ng3 Na5 ({If Falls} 17... Ne4 {then dann kommt} 18. Nh1 $1 {and White's plan works out anyway, e.g. , und der weiße Plan funktioniert trotzdem, z.B.} f5 19. f3 Nd6 20. Ba3 g6 21. Ng3 {and after the inevitable e3-e4 the weakened position of the Black king is a source of permanent trouble. und nach dem unvermeidlichen e3-e4 ist die geschwächte Stellung des schwarzen Königs eine Quelle langanhaltender Probleme.}) 18. f3 Nb3 {Both sides are quite persistent. The a4-pawn is lost, but the long-awaited central advance is also ready. Beide Seiten sind hartnäckig. Der a4-Bauer ist verloren, aber der lange erwartete Vorstoß im Zentrum steht ebenfalls bevor.} 19. e4 Qxa4 {This miserable pawn has played an important role as bait for the tiger! Der armselige Bauer hat eine wichtige Rolle gespielt - als Köder für den Tiger!} 20. e5 Nd7 {[%cal Yb3c5]} 21. Qf2 {Otherwise the isolated knight is able to come back into the game extremely effectively after b3-c5! Now Black has to take his opponent's threats more seriously - the white knight is heading for f5 and d6, and the advancing f-pawn could be a battering ram that will crack open the black castled position. But Capablanca cannot be frightened by these shadows on the horizon. The stubborn proponent of economy was famous for an astonishing ability to defend his king with a minimum of resources while his main army was gaining an advantage elsewhere. Sonst kann der isolierte Springer mit b3-c5! sehr effektiv wieder ins Spiel kommen. Jetzt muß Schwarz die gegnerischen Drohungen sehr ernst nehmen: der weiße Springer strebt über f5 nach d6, und der vorrückende f-Bauer könnte bald als Rammbock gegen die Rochadestellung des weißen Königs aufbrechen. Aber Capablanca ließ sich von den dunklen Wolken am Horizont nicht einschüchtern. Der große Verfechter von Ökonomie im Schach war berühmt für seine erstaunliche Fähigkeit, den eigenen König mit einem Minimum an Material zu verteidigen, während der Hauptteil seiner Streitkräfte auf der anderen Seite Vorteile errang.} g6 22. f4 f5 {Forcing the opening of the e-file and an exchange of rooks.

In the event of Capablanca benutzt einen taktischen Trick, um den Springer auf f6 zu verteidigen. Er will das Angriffspotential seines Gegners reduzieren und schafft dabei ein Meisterwerk der Schachkunst - nur leider saß er an der falschen Seite des Brettes! Auch nach} (25... Rf8 26.

Qg5+ {etc.}) 29. Qe5 Qe7 { Attack and defence have reached a faltering parity, each side needs reserves to decide an epic battle in its favour. The question is whose minor piece from the forgotten flank is faster? Black's knight is going to use the same route cb3-a5-c6, but what about the sleeping white bishop? Angriff und Verteidigung haben ein instabiles Gleichgewicht erreicht, bei dem jede Seite zusätzliche Kräfte benötigt, um diese epische Auseinandersetzung erfolgreich zu bestehen. Die Frage ist nur: wessen Leichtfiguren lassen sich schneller vom vergessenen Damenflügel in das Kampfzentrum bringen. Der schwarze Springer will die gleiche Route zurück nehmen: cb3-a5-c6. Aber was ist mit dem schlafenden weißen Läufer?} 30. Ba3 $3 {If the first move of the bishop, 12.b2?, was just a bad joke, then the second little step from b2 to a3 has created a drama! The kamikaze act forces the black queen to leave her king again, this time not voluntarily, and to unblock the ambitious pawn which is running for the biggest prize. Der erste Zug dieses Läufers, 12.b2?, war ein schlechter Scherz, der zweite kleine Schritt von b2 nach a3 schafft ein Drama auf dem Schachbrett! Die Kamikaze-Handlung zwingt die schwarze Dame, abermals ihren König zu verlassen, diesmal allerdings nicht freiwillig.
