And the European Chess Championship has begun. A er the
first rounds, the big favorites have a perfect score in both
sections, open and women. In the open section, already in
the rd round we will see a huge fight between Ukraine and
Azerbaijan, the Nr and Nr on the starting list.
Already in the first round of the event, we saw some very
exciting games between super GMs and a lot of di erent
upsets and surprises.
For the moment, the team of Norway is playing without
Magnus Carlsen, but we can be sure that in tomorrow’s match
against Armenia the World Champion will take his seat on the
first board.
Russian has so far been playing without Grischuk, probably
keeping him for the more important matches.
Everything else is more or less as usual, the playing hall is not
great, but to call it bad would be unfair as well. The weather
is cold and windy, very usual for Reykjavik.
On the free day, the organizers o er some excursions and to
visit the grave of Bobby Fischer.
So the most important rounds are yet to come in the next
week and we wish you a lot of fun watching the games live.

Best game of the past week

( . ),
[ ...O-O is the main move and also what all the top players
play. We have reached the initial position of the line and it is
considered to be equal according to the latest theory.]
.a !
The standard way to win back this pawn in many
openings, otherwise Black protects it with b . Na and Qc
are coming next, it will be di icult to hold it for long.
)
GM Csaba Balogh
Best rating:
...Ne
Another unusual move with the idea of Nd . Black
wants to save the c pawn as long as possible, but he loses
further tempi, while White just developes his pieces to natural
places.
.Qc
Nd
.Na
[ .e ! looks preferable to avoid Bf tempo
and Na only in the next move.]
...Bf
.Qc O-O
[ ...c seems like a move, which solves
the opening problems right away, however White has a very
nice trick at his disposal.
In the last round, the top seed former World Nr. Alexander
Morozevich has run into a nice defeat.
.Nf d .g g
This move is very popular since the first
World Championship match between Carlsen and Anand,
where the Indian succesfully neutralized the Reti opening with
this move.
.Bg
Bg
The point of delaying the development of the g
knight to f can be seen here. Black wants to play now e and
Ne with a perfect position, therefore White is more or less
forced to transpose to the g system of the Gruenfeld defence.
.d
Nf
.O-O c .c dxc
Breaking the symmetry is a
clear sign, that Black wants to win this game.
.Bh !! could come as a shock for most of the players and
suddenly Black faces di iculties ...Bxh (
...cxd ?
is simple
met by
.Nxd !
Bxh
.Nxf
) .dxc O-O .cxd
Qxd
.Nd += suddenly the white pieces are standing extremely
well. The long diagonal has opened, Nxc is coming with
tempo, the rooks are also coming to the opened files.]
.Nxc
Re
?!
Well, this is a very strange move to
www.chess-newsletter.com
understand. I dont really get the point of it. Black had a very
strong direct alternative, but even if ...c does not exist, any
other natural developing move like ...Nd should have been
played. [ ...c ! seems to be completely fine now, as Bh does
not work anymore. Nc is coming next, Black equalizes the
game. .Nxd exd and Nc with a balanced game.]
.Rd
White prepares for the di erent kind of attempts to
open the game with e or c . He has some space advantage
thanks to the d pawn, sooner or later it will be more di icult
to maneouvre with the black pieces.
...Na
.b !
White decides to develop his bishop to a ,
where it cannot be disturbed by the knights. The same cannot
be said a er Bf , because then Nc -d could come.
...Be
.Ba
Rc
.Rac
Both sides finish the
development of their pieces, but the white ones are standing
more active and Black su ers in lacking of space, therefore
he tries to break out with a central break, however White is
excellently prepared to the opening of the game.
...c
...Bxg
[The alternative was ...cxd but it also fails to
equalize a er .Qxd
Bxg
.Kxg
Nxc
.Qxc !
Rxc
.Rxd
Rxd
.Nxc += a er the simplifcations, White
enjoys a stable advantage in the endgame. The e pawn is
hanging and Na breaks into the Black’s position in the next
move. The a knight is shut out of the game by the a bishop.]
.Kxg
Qc
Black leaves the pin on the d-file, but it still
needs another move to get to b in order to leave the pin of
the other rook on c .
.Qf !
Another nice positional move! White opens the c-file
and also keeps an eye on the new target, on the f pawn.
...Nf
Knowing what happens in the next move it looks
very ugly, but Black did not have anything better. The f pawn
had to be defended.
.e !
Nh
Both black knights are standing poorly at the
edge of the board, but at least Black has managed to avoid
the concrete problems, although White’s big advantage is
undisputable.
.Nfe !
Perfect reaction! White actually closes the diagonal
of the g bishop. He stands ready for the opening of the d-file,
on the other hand the black queen is misplaced and stays in
the pins.
.g !
Bachmann leads the game very ambitiously. He
creates the threat of g , which forces another unwanted move
by his opponent.
