1. d4
|
I'm a bit of newcomer to 1.d4 Being an older player now I like to steer for calmer waters! |

|
1... Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Bb7 5. Bg2 c5
|
A sharp variation of the Queen Indian which is considered inferior by present theory. |
|
| |
|
|
6. d5 exd5 7. Nh4
|
That's the point. The pin is annoying and the white knight heads for f5. |
|
| |
|
|
7... d6 8. Nc3 g6 9. Bg5
|
Trying to provoke black. |
|
| |
|
|
9... Be7 10. cxd5 h6
|
?! this weakening will be annoying for black later. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Bc1 a6 12. a4 Bf8
|
The consequence of h6. |
|
| |
|
|
13. O-O Bg7 14. Nf3 O-O 15. Nd2 Nbd7 16. Nc4
|
After extensive manoeuvring we have reached a Benoni type structure. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Ne5
|
16..Qc7 17 Bf4 was unpleasant. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Nxe5 dxe5 18. e4 Qd6 19. f4 Nd7 20. Bh3
|
! Threatening Bxd7 followed by f5 with a winning positional clamp.
Bad was 20 f5 c4! with the idea ...Nc5 ...Nd3 |
|
| |
|
|
20... exf4
|
20...f5 21 exf5 gxf5 22 Qh5! |
|
| |
|
|
21. gxf4 Bd4+ 22. Kh1 Bxc3
|
? Black needs this Bishop. Necessary is 22..f5 23 e5 Bxd5 24 Nxd5 Qxd5 25 Bg2 Qc7 26 Bxa8 Rxa8 with some compensation for the echange |
|
| |
|
|
23. bxc3 f5
|
Black must attack the massive white centre. |
|
| |
|
|
24. c4
|
Of course white must protect d5. |
|
| |
|
|
24... fxe4 25. Qg4
|
! 25 Be6 would not be very clear. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Bc8
|
The only move. If for example ....Rad8 then Qe6 wins. |
|
| |
|
|
26. Bb2
|
! The point. If now 26...Ne5 27 Qxc8!! Raxc8 28 fxe5 and white's passed pawns will be unstoppable. |
|
| |
|
|
26... Kh7 27. Qe6
|
! Wins by force. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Qxe6 28. dxe6 Nb8
|
28...Nf6 29 e7 |
|
| |
|
|
29. f5
|
! White must open lines. |
|
| |
|
|
29... Nc6 30. fxg6+ Kg8 31. Rxf8+ Kxf8 32. g7+ Kg8 33. Rf1 Nd4
|
If 33...Bb7 39 e7! Nxe7 40 Be6 Rh7 41 Rf7 wins |
|
