![]() [Site "Moscow RUS"] [Date "2004.02.17"] [EventDate "2004.02.17"] [Round "1"] [Result "0-1"] [White "Alejandro Ramirez Alvarez"] [Black "Darmen Sadvakasov"] [ECO "E52"] [WhiteElo "2499"] [BlackElo "2611"] [PlyCount "48"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 O-O 5. Nf3 d5 6. Bd3 b6 7. O-O Bb7 8. cxd5 exd5 9. Ne5 Bd6 10. f4 c5 11. Rf3 Nc6 12. Nxd5 Bxe5 13. fxe5 Qxd5 14. exf6 g6 15. b3 Nxd4 16. Rf2 Ne6 17. Qf1 Rfd8 18. Bc4 Qe4 19. Bb2 Ng5 20. Kh1 Nh3 21. Rf3 Rd2 22. Bc3 Rxg2 23. Qxg2 Qxf3 24. Bf1 Qf2 0-1 A gem of a game, and a nice example of the power of the fianchetto as an attacking resource. I was struggling to see what White had in mind if 12 ...Nxd5. The answer is 13. Bxh7! Kxh7 (13...Kh8 14. Rh3 [with the threat of discovering check, sacking the R on h8 and then giving mate with the Q] g6 15. Bxg6 Black has to give up huge material to avoid mate) 14. Kxh7 Rh3+ 15. Qh5 when mate on h7 or h8 is inevitable. 24... Qf2!! is a beautiful move exploiting so many things: an absolute pin and overloading a piece. Excellent way of playing the Nimzo Indian for the former world junior champion! |
