[#]I must admit that there was not a single 'clean' victory in all four games that I managed to win in this tournament. There was quite a sharp struggle in all of them. It seems that a prolonged absense of the playing practice revealed itself on my part - I did not play games with the classical time control for almost half a year. 1.d4 ¤f6 2.c4 g6 3.¤c3 ¥g7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 O-O 6.¥g5 a6 7.£d2 c6 Not especially afdequate scheme of the development for Black in this opening. 8.O-O-O b5 9.h4 h5 Now Black must refute the strongest attack but he does not want to admit h4-h5. 10.g4! hxg4 11.h5 ¤xh5 12.¥h6 f6 It is practically the sole plausible continuation for Black. [Losing right away is 12...e6 13.fxg4; bad is also: 12...e5 13.¥xg7 ¢xg7 14.dxe5 , when White wins the material back while retaining a strong attack.] [After 14...¥xe2 15.¤gxe2 , White's attack develops irrepressibly.] 15.¤f3 With the idea of mounting the tension by 16.¦dg1 then, for example, 17.¤h4. 15...e5 Apparently, this is an obligatory move, since Black has to attach his pieces to the defence, for example, his a8-rook by transferring it to a7. Besides, the black knight obtains a perfect supporting square on f4, from where he can block some attacking lines for White. 16.¥xg7 I spent quite a lot time for this move because White had quite a wide choice of continuations there. [Perhaps, stronger is: 16.¦dg1 , for example: 16...¦a7 17.¤xe5! ¥xe2 18.¤xg6 , with White's irrefutable attack.] [17...¥xe2? would have only been a grist in White's mill, since after 18.¤xe2 Black cannot protect the g6-point; Hopeless for Black is 17...¤f4? 18.¥xg4 £xg4 19.¦dg1 , followed by 20.¤xg6!; Some deteriorated version of the text would have taken place after: 17...exd4?! 18.£xd4 ¤g3 19.¦dg1 ¤xe2 20.¤xe2; However, Black could have put more stubborn resistance by: 17...b4 18.¥xg4 £xg4 (quite pretty seems the variation: 18...bxc3 19.£g2! ¤f4 20.£h2! £xg4 21.¤f5 , checkmating) 19.¤e2 £xe4 20.¤xg6! ¢xg6 21.¦xh5! ¤d7 22.¦dh1 ¢f7 , though White's attack was quite dangerous in this case too.] 18.¦dg1! ¤xe2 19.¤xe2 ¦h8 White threatens with the strike on g6. [Losing immediately is: 19...g5? 20.¦xg4! £xg4 21.¤f5 ¢g6 22.¦h6 ¢f7 23.dxe5] 20.¤xg6! All the same, White plays so! 20...¢xg6 21.¦xg4 ¢f7 22.¦hg1 ¦h7 23.dxe5 dxe5 24.¦g8!? £xg8 25.¦xg8 ¢xg8 26.£d8 ¢f7 27.¤g3 White's position is winning - Black cannot unpin without the material losses. The black king is still in danger. Then the time trouble came and despite the series of mistakes I managed to win this game. [1:0] |
