Minsk 1998
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 g6 5.c4
Bg7 6.Nc2 Nh6 7.Bd2!
This move is allowed by last development
of the knight: 7Bb2? 8.Bh6 Ba1 9.Na1!
Due to that Black often chooses 6d6,
where White fights against 7f5 with a
simple development 7.Bd3!
Very interesting is a recommendation of P.
H. Nielsen 6Qb6, after which White
cannot come up with a good defence of the
b2-pawn. After logical move 7.Nc3
Black takes 7Bc3!? 8.bc3 Nf6 and tries
to play without his pair of bishops against
the weak Whites pawns. In practice White
players have more success. They can
develop a strong initiative with the darksquared bishop, for example: 9.Bd3 d6

White has a slight advantage. His pawns
are more connected and without
weaknesses. The exchanges in the center
brought to life a light-squared bishop,

A very popular position almost equal to the
previous one. The only difference is that
Black cannot play b7-b5 and he is forced
to withdraw 12Be8. This position was
played even by the World Champions!
You can imagine how much easier is the
position on the diagram where White can
move his bishop to the most logical square

with 13...e5 14.Qe1 Qg5 15.Rd1 Be6

14.a3 Be6 15.Ne3, in both cases with a

A typical position: considering the rules
that we were following the best move for
White would be the taking 22.Rd5!? But
even the taking with the e-pawn, which
was Aronians choice, is not bad in the
current position. White is combining the
positional play with the attack on the king

The transposition to a winning endgame.

Black can fight against the withdrawal of
the knight to c2 with the plan a7-a6 and
b7-b5, like love to play the Scandinavians
(in the past Bent Larsen and Ulf
Andersson, nowadays P. H. Nielsen).

The weaker plan is 1Qa5? 2.f4 Rac8
3.Rb1! a6 4.b4 Qd8 5.Qd3 and White was
much better in the game Short : Andersson,
Wijk aan Zee 1990.
2.f3
A typical move an additional defence of
the e4-pawn. White wants to free from this
assignment his knight on c3, which is also
actively preventing the move b7-b5.
2Rc8 3.Qd2
Possibly the strongest move is 3.Rac1 Ne5
4.Na3 Qa5 (preparing b7-b5) 5.Qb3! with
an unpleasant threat Bb6.
3Re8 4.Rac1 Qa5 5.Rfd1
The plan 5.Na3 Be6 6.Nab1 is interesting
but too slow, it did not bring success to
White in the game Gulko : P. H. Nielsen,
Esbjerg 2000.

6.b4! a typical trick, linked with the
placement of the queen and the undefended
e7-pawn: 6Nb4? 7.Nd5 Nc6 8.Qa5 Na5

Black can choose between two plans:
1a5 with the play against the unusual
placement of the knight or 1b6 with
placement of some kind of wall, which is
preventing Whites planned move. The
first plan is concrete and the second one is
connected with a complicated strategic
play.

1a5!?
The old rule says that the progression with
a rook pawn, with the unpleasant threat a5
(a4), is always good against the placement
of the knight to b6 (b3) .
2.Nd2
It threatened 2a4 in 3a3 with the
destruction of the queenside and because
of that White gave up another tempo. The
knight on d2 is defending the e4-pawn and

5Bh6!
A very instructive moment. Black won a
tempo and for him is even more important
to keep the dark-squared bishops. If not so
Whites attack would become very
dangerous. For example: 5Bb7 6.Bg7
Kg7 7.Qd4 Kg8 8.f4 Nc5 9.f5. Black
would not have enough pieces on the
kingside and Whites pieces would be able
to attack freely. (Nd5, Rc3-h3).
6.f4
After 6.Rc2 e5! 7.Be3 Be3 8.fe3 Nc5
9.Bf3 Bb7 Blacks position would be at
least equal.
6Bb7 7.Be3 Nc5 8.b3!?
White already had problems. After 8.Bf3
e5! does not work 9.Qd2 ef4 10.Bf4 Bf4
11.Qf4 Nd3. For this reason Korchnoi
decided for complications.
8Ne4 9.Ne4 Be4 10.Qd4 Bc6 11.f5!?
Korchnoi understandably did not like the
endgame after 11.Qb6 Qb6 12.Bb6 Rfb8
13.Be3 a4, when only Black would be
playing with his a5-pawn and b4-pawn.
The pawn sacrifice is quite unpleasant. In
the case of Black taking on the challenge:
11Be3 12.Qe3 Kg7 (it
threatened13.Qh6), White would after
13.Rf4 achieve an unpleasant initiative,
which is certainly not in Anands style.
11Bg7 12.Qb6 Qd7
Why not 12Qb6 13.Bb6 Rfb8 14.Be3 a4,
with the transposition to the already known
position with an undoubted advantage for
Black?

1b6
Quite illogical move is 1Na5 2.Nd2!
with the threat b2-b4.
2.f3
White tried many moves. After 2.a4 a5!
Black would win yet another dark square
on the queenside (b4) and Blacks knights
on c5 and b4 would be very unpleasant for
White, but the most consistent is the set up
with f2-f4, Be2-f3 and the play in the
center. However White does not have a
direct and clear plan in the center and due
to that the position is easier for Black,
which is simply following the dark-squared
strategy, preparing the dark squares for his
knights and directing them towards the
dark squares (especially to c5).
Polugaevsky chose a slow plan, connected
with the conquering of the space and with
putting pressure on Black.
2Ne8
With the idea 2Bc3.
3.Qd2 Rc8 4.Rac1 Ne5 5.Nd5 e6!
Whites knight does not have a good
square to withdraw (because of the
undefended c4-pawn) and Ljubojevic took

The maneuver, which needs to be

With a very complicated play and draw in
