1. d4
|
A game of the King's Indian April 2007 mini-tournament which had the four-pawn-variation as motive.
I add the Spanish comments by migchess20 and the English by carokant. |

1... Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f4 O-O 6. Nf3 c5 7. d5 e6
|
At once the advanced pawn is attacked. |

|
|
|
8. Be2 exd5 9. e5
|
White sacrifices a pawn for initiative.
migchess20: 9.cxd5 Esta continuación la considero mejor, ya que los peones centrales ejercen mayor tensión al juego. 9...Ag4 10.0–0 Axf3 11.Axf3 Cbd7 12.Te1 Te8 |

9... dxe5

migchess20: 9...Ce4 El caballo en la casilla e4 ejerce mayor control en el centro del tablero 10.Cxd5 Cc6 11.Dc2 f5 12.exd6 |

10. fxe5 Ng4 11. Nxd5 Nxe5 12. O-O Nxf3+ 13. Bxf3 Nc6 14. Be3 Nd4 15. Rc1 Be6 16. b3 Nxf3+
|
Starts a chain of exchanges in order to relieve the pressure on the black position. |

|
|
|
17. Qxf3 Bxd5
|
migchess20: Creo que es mejor mantener el par de alfiles para un final y no hacer el cambio por el caballo. es mas fuerte el par de alfiles que alfil y caballo. |

|

18. cxd5 b6 19. Rcd1
|
White has an advanced free pawn, pressure on the f-file. The weak point could be the open d4-g1 diagonal.
Black has a strong bishop on g7 and also can occupy open files. The black queen has good chances via h4 on the 4th row. |

|
|
|
19... Qd7
|
Covers f7. |

|
|
|

Now black had the idea: give a rook for the bishop and then skewer the rook/queen to the king with the bishop! Which rook should I take?? |

|
|
|
20... Rfe8 21. b4
|
...but white can give his rook back for the bishop appearing on d4 which would put white's queen in a dominating position. |

|
|
|
21... cxb4 22. axb4 Bc3
|
migchess20: El alfil en esta posicion es mala ya que colocamos la pieza en el aire, ya que no esta defendida y esta es atacada indirectamente por la dama. |

|
|
|
23. Bxb6 Bxb4 24. Bd4
|
Now whites bishop is on the big diagonal.
migchess20: Las blancas dominan la diagonal central y el rey se encuentra expuesto a un ataque posterior. |

|
|
|
24... f5
|
Relieves the pressure on f7 but opens the diagonal on the king. |

|
|
|
25. Qb3 Qd6
|
Blocks the pawn and covers the bishop.
migchess20: Considero debil este movimiento, creo que era mejor llevar el alfil a d6. Aquí podias haber logrado un tablas. Las posiciones de ambos era equivalente. La defensa india del rey la considero una apertura muy difícil, ya que es muy posicional. |

|
|
|
26. Rdc1 Re4
|
Provoques the next 5 moves but unfortunately has a hole because... |

|
|
|
27. Rc6 Qe7 28. d6+ Qf7 29. Qxb4 Qd5
|
...black intended to win back the bishop here but... |

|
|
|
30. Rc4
|
...the white rook can retreat and in the same time protect the bishop. So: always think tactical move chains UNTIL THE VERY END! |

|
|
|
30... Rd8 31. Qc3 Rxd6 32. Bh8
|
Theratens mate on g7 and also the rook check on c8 is dangerous. There is only one way. |

|
|
|
32... Re7
|
And the c8 rook check is met with Rd8. |

|
|
|
33. Rc8+ Rd8 34. Bf6
|
This skewer leads to the loss of a rook which is too much to continue. Black resigned. |
