Main line of the Dutch.. |

|
|
7... c6
|
Well, this is the warsaw variation. |
|

8. Rb1
|
New theory from Kramnik...The idea being that in the Dutch leningrad, White has to watch out for the Bishop diagonal. E.g., 8. d5 e5; 9. e.p. dxe6 Bxe6; 10 b3. and Black has counter play. How is White suppose to protect his c4-pawn? I should note 10. Qd3 is played too. |

The infamous Knight g5-e6 maneuver. |

11... Na6 12. Ne6 Bxe6 13. dxe6 Rb8 14. e4

I didn't know what else to play and I thought it open play.... |
|
| |
|
|
14... fxe4 15. Nxe4 Nxe4 16. Bxe4 Nc5 17. Bd5
|
protecting the e6-pawn |
|
| |
|
|
17... Rf5
|
at least now I can play the move... |
|
| |
|
|
18. b4
|
Yes, ....It makes all the difference with that b1-rook instead of it being on a1. |
|
| |
|
|
18... Na6 19. Be3
|
Again, this is why I played e4 first.....I didn't know what to do with my dark-squared Bishop. Hence, why I played e4 as I thought it looked funny in front of the Pawn as opposed to being "behind" the pawn... |

19... Nc7 20. Bb3 Nb5
|
? protecting a7? |

X-raying. Planning to capture Bishop on e5. After which RxR, and White would have a triple fork after Bishopxnc7!! |
|
| |
|
|
25... Bd6 26. f4 Rc8 27. Rc2 Qf8 28. Rec1 Qd8
|
?......herein lies the problem for White: how is he going to tip the scale in his favor? I'm looking for that feather to lay down on the scale and have my opponent fall down... |
|

|
29. a5
|
!! I was thinking boy...my bishop would cause a whole deal of trouble on d7. |
|

|
29... Kf8 30. Ba4 Kg7
|
?? |
|

|
31. Bd7 Ra8 32. Rc2xc7
|
! I foresaw the position and seen that my Rook wouldn't fair to well after the Bishop exchanges and Rook capture. Plus, I saw my dark-squared bishop was better on e5 attacking the King's fortress. |
|
| |
|
|
32... Bxc7 33. Bxc7 Qf8 34. Be5+ Kg8 35. Qxd5 Rh5
|
I think black was afraid of g4. |
|
| |
|
|
36. Qxb7 Rd8 37. Rc8 Rxc8 38. Qxc8 Qxc8 39. Bxc8
|
and now I win by endgame |
