A er a very turbulent last week with the European Club Cup
and the Bilbao Masters, we are in a calm week of chess.
In the Baku Open, where a lot of
+ players are
participating, Ernesto Inarkiev is leading with / , followed
by a lot of players on . / , such as Areschenko, Artemiev,
Lupulescu, Krasenkow and many more.
The Tseshkovsky Memorial was convincingly won by Baadur
Jobava with a great . / , a full point ahead of other players.
The World Youth Championship is also under way in Durban,
South Africa, but it is pity to see that almost none of the
leading young chess stars are participating in it. All in all,
Indian chess kids are dominating a lot of age groups, followed
by Russians, so there are no big changes in comparison to
previous years.
For next week we can already be very excited about the start
of the Grand Prix series in Baku, Azerbaidjan.
As usual we hope you enjoy the best games of the week
selected by your commentators!

rarely fits well together. It is clear that White wants to save
some sort of tempo on playing f because of the future g and
immediate f , but Black also has di erent resources.

We are going to see a typical Sicilian game: fight, fight fight.
In the beginning of the game White picks a rare line and
gets immediately countered in the center, a er which in a
complicated position White is starting to go wrong. Black is
ending the game with a beatiful combination!
.e c .Nf e
In open tournaments we see openings like
the Paulsen much more o en than in round robin top events.
The simple reason is that you really need to win some games
to get the chance to take some price.
.d cxd .Nxd
Nf
So no Paulsen, which usually starts
with ...a or sometimes ... Nc , which actually I don’t count
as Paulsen! :)
.Nc d
This is a clear line for "let’s play!".
.Be
[ .g should clearly be the main line here, which
counts as quite dangerous for Black.]
...a
and we are back in the main position of the
Sheveningen/Najdorf.
.Be
is one of the main moves. White prepares to castle
kingside. The other two main moves are .f or .g .
...Qc
Black has a lot of di erent move orders here.
.g
Quite a strange move! The combination of moves Be -g
...d !?
A very interesting reply and probably a preparation
by Bukavshin.
.exd
White’s move is forced.
...Bb
This was Black’s idea. Actually this all looks quite
strange to me. Black is giving up the very important dark
squared bishop and doesn’t have great development either...
In my opinion Black should be risking more than it is possible
to gain here.
.dxe
Another forced move as Black wanted to take on c
followed by Nxd .
...Bxc + .bxc
Qxc
+
Using the fact that White has no
other move than to play Kf .
.Kf fxe
So let’s take a fresh look at the position. The
material is equal but things are looking very strange. White
has the bishop pair and a better development, but the king on
f is very badly placed. In case Black was in time to develop his
pieces and play e , White’s position could become very bad,
so White needs to act quickly.
.Bf ?!
White is trying to stop Black from playing Nd , but
www.chess-newsletter.com
the bishop on f is taking a very bad position and a er Nd
the exchange is not so great for White in general. [A er .Rb
...O-O .Qd
Qc
Black’s position seems to be promising
because it is really hard for White to prevent the e move.;
.g is premature since a er ...Nd Black is doing great.;
The most logical move is probably .Kg
...O-O and now it
is hard to say what to do next for White, a safe option is .Qd
Qxd
.cxd e
.Nf
Nc
and the position is probably
about equal, but White could still try to push for a win.]
...O-O
Black’s king is safe, but White’s one is not.
.Kg
very open and Black’s attack is only getting stronger because
of the opposite colored bishops.
.h
Another very strange move by White. It seems like
Shaposhnikov was not aware at all of what was going to
happen to him already in couple of moves from now...
...Nc
A good choice. Black exchanges the strongest
white piece, the knight d , before starting the action on the
kingside.
.Nxc
Qxc
...bxc was also a good move.
.Bd
[ .Qd wasn’t any better since a er ...Bf Black
is going to be at least a full pawn up because the c pawn is
lost.]
...Qc
is a possible option, but somehow it looks a bit
too slow. [Black could have started with ...e
.Nf
Bxf
.gxf
Qc
followed by Nc or e . I think only Black can be
better now.]
.g ?
This is already a serious mistake. Why push Black into
playing Nd ? And of course White is making the bishop c a
beast by giving him all the white squares. [ .Rb would lead
to a complicated position now.]
...Nd
Of course!
.Bxd exd
So the position has changed a lot again! We
still have equal material, but the position of the white king is
...Rf !
A very nice move! Before playing Bf , Black brings
his rook into the attack and also frees the f square for the
rook on a to join the action.
.f
The only move as Black was threatening to play Bg .
...Bf
The c pawn is hanging.
.c
It seems like White is more or less solid, but in fact
Black’s attack is unstoppable.
...Rf
Black has a clear idea now: to put maximum pressure
on the f pawn, for example by playing Bg -Bh or maybe
www.chess-newsletter.com
Qg -h .
.Qe
This move gives Black the chance to end the game
with a beautiful combination! [ .Qe
...Qg and Black’s
position should just be crushing!]
...Bg !
Of course Black had a few moves which would give
him great attacking chances, but why not end the game with
a very nice piecesacrifice!?
.fxg
The only move.
...Rxg +
hopeless.]

...Re
What a nice plan by Black! A er being so strong
vertically, his rooks are now crushing horizontally.
.Qg
R
A beautiful move!
.Bf is the only
.Bf
Once again White just has no choice,
move which defends from Rxh .
Right from the opening the game is getting chaotic. Both sides
are ready for a big fight! At first it looks like Black should be
doing fine, but with a lot of tactics White is able to take over
and convert his development advantage into a material one.
A very interesting game is ahead of us...
.d
Nf
.c e
with .Nc Bb .
.Nf
White decides not to enter the Nimzo
...b
This has been standing as a solid opening for at least
the last years!
.a
Of course moves like .g or .Nc are more popular, but
.a also deserves a lot of attention, especially since in the
latest games White is scoring very well with it.
...Ba
is probably the main move. The idea of ... Ba is
simply that it is not that easy to defend the c pawn for White.
.Nbd would block the bishop on c and the queen on c
could not be in the best position.
.Qc
Bb
Black lured the white queen to c -the mission is
done- so now it is time to place the bishop to b .
.Nc c
and that’s the key: if the white queen was placed
on d , White would have the great d move, but now .d is
connected to very complicated play because Black can just
take twice on d .
.dxc
This is nothing new either. Black wanted to play Bxf
and win the d pawn so White takes on c .
...Qd !
This is the last pretty idea! By pinning the white
king Black is threatening to play Rxh next again. The white
king can never go to the g-file because of Rg and White would
lose his queen, so the only thing le is to move to h .
.Kh
Qe
+
The black queen is coming closer...
.Kh
Qe
White resigned because of .Kh Qf and the
game is over because of .Kh Rxf . A very nice game by
Black and actually an interesting idea with Qc and a fast d !
