Alekhine Memorial–02 Moscow (Russia) (11), 08.12.1971

[Bronznik,V]
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 6.g4 Nc6 7.g5 Nd7 8.Be3 a6 9.f4 Be7 10.Rg1 Nxd4
11.Qxd4 e5 12.Qd2 exf4 13.Bxf4 Ne5 14.Be2 Be6 15.Nd5 Bxd5 16.exd5 Ng6 17.Be3 h6 18.gxh6 Bh4+
19.Kd1 gxh6 20.Bxh6 Bf6 21.c3 Be5 [Schwarz hat einen Bauern geopfert, und es sieht so aus, daß er
gute Kompensation dafür hat: der weiße König kann nicht mehr rochieren, es droht der unangenehme
Ausfall der Dame nach h4 und der h-Bauer ist schwach.]
22.Rg4 [Eine geniale Lösung! Hier kontrolliert der Turm die wichtigste zentrale Horizontale, begrenzt
dadurch die gegnerischen Figuren und wird selbst sehr aktiv.]
[Nach 22.Rg2 Qh4! hätte Schwarz starke Initiative bekommen, z. B. 23.Bg5 Qe4 24.Bf1 Nh4 (24...Rh3!?
; 24...Rc8!?) 25.Bxh4 Qa4+ 26.b3 Qxh4 27.Kc2 Rc8 28.Re1 Kf8 29.c4 b5; 22.Bg5 Qb6 23.Be3 Qa5
verspricht auch nicht viel. (23...Qc7!? Karpov) ]
22...Qf6 [Auf 22...Bxh2 folgt 23.Bxa6! (nicht schlecht auch 23.Kc2 Be5 (23...Ne5? 24.Rg2! Qh4 25.Rxh2!
Qxh2 26.Bb5++–) 24.Rag1 Qa5 25.Kb1 0–0–0 26.Rf1 mit Vorteil) 23...Rxa6 (oder 23...bxa6 24.Qxh2 Ne5
25.Rh4) 24.Qxh2 Ne5 25.Rh4]
23.h4! Qf5 [23...Nxh4? 24.Bg5+–]
24.Rb4! Bf6 [24...0–0–0? 25.Bg4+–]
25.h5 Ne7 [25...Ne5? 26.Rf4+–]
26.Rf4! [Nach 26.Rxb7 Rxh6!? (26...Nxd5!? 27.c4 Rg8) 27.Rxe7+ (27.Qxh6 Qxd5+ 28.Kc2 Qe4+ 29.Bd3
Qg2+ 30.Kb1 Qh1+ 31.Kc2 Qg2+=) 27...Bxe7 28.Qxh6 Qxd5+ 29.Kc2 Bg5 30.Qh8+ Ke7 31.Qd4 Qxd4
32.cxd4 a5 wäre es für Weiß nicht leicht diese Stellung zu gewinnen. ]
26...Qe5 27.Rf3 [Der erste (und der einzige) zweifelhafte Moment im Spiel des Weißen. Der Turm hat auf
der vierten Reihe gut gearbeitet und darf sie jetzt verlassen, aber wahrscheinlich gab es ein besseres
Feld.]
[Nach 27.Rf1!? Nxd5 28.Re1 (28.Bf3!?) 28...Ne7 wäre materielles Gleichgewicht entstanden, aber
Weiß hätte dank Läuferpaars und h-Freibauern einen spührbaren Vorteil und die Möglichkeiten (z. B.
29.f4, 29.f3, 29.g4), seine Initiative zu ehtfalten.]
27...Nxd5 [( Schwarz hat trotzdem einen Bauern zurückgewonnen) ]
28.Rd3 Rxh6 29.Rxd5 [Nach 29.Qxh6?! Bg5 30.Qh7 Ne3+ 31.Rxe3 Qxe3 32.Qh8+ Kd7 33.Qd4 Qxd4+
34.cxd4 Bf6= wäre das Spiel ganz ausgeglichen.]
29...Qe4 30.Rd3 [Genau diese Stellung hatte Karpov beabsichtigt, als er mit dem Turm nach f3 zog.]
[30...]
30...Qh1+? [Gleichbedeutend wäre 30...Be5? 31.Qxh6 Qh1+ 32.Kc2 Qxa1; Aber nach 30...Qh7! (diesen
Zug analysiert Karpov in seinen Anmerkungen überhaupt nicht) hätte Schwarz gute Chancen gehabt, die
Stellung zu halten. Es liegt daran, daß 31.Rxd6? an (31.Rg3 Be5 32.Rg1 0–0–0) 31... 31...Bg5!!
(wahrscheinlich haben beide Gegner diesen glänzenden Zug übersehen) 32.Rxh6 Qxh6 33.Qe1 0–0–0+–
+ scheitert]
[Jetzt ist der Kampf sofort zu Ende.]

31.Kc2 Qxa1 32.Qxh6 Be5 33.Qg5 [Schwarz gab auf.Quelle: i12/459]
1–0

29...Kd5 30.Nf3 [Weiß möchte 2 Leichtfiguren für einen Turm tauschen, aber als Zinsen hofft er alle
schwarzen Bauern zu vernichten. Praktisch muss der Nachziehende einverstanden sein mit diesem
Angebot, weil er einfach keine Wahl hat.]
[30.Nb5!? Nxa3 (30...Rxa4 31.Rxg7 Nxa3 32.Nc3++–) 31.Nxa3 Rxa4 32.Rxg7]
30...Nxa3 31.Nxe5 Kxe5 32.Re7+! [Ein feiner Zug. So wird der Kontakt zwischen dem König und dem
f6 unterbrochen, nach dem der  auf g7 geschlagen hat. Der schwarze  kann nicht den Bauern auf
a4 nehmen, weil der Springer auf f6 dann ungedeckt ist.]
32...Kd4 33.Rxg7 Nc4 34.Rf4+ Ne4! [34...Kd3 35.Rf7 so wird Schwarz den h-Bauern verlieren.]
35.Rd7+ Ke3 36.Rf3+ Ke2 37.Rxh7 Ncd2 38.Ra3 Rc6 39.Ra1?? [Im Zeitnot macht der Anziehende
einen groben Fehler. Schade, er hat in der ganzen Partie Vorteil gehabt und einige Male den Gewinn
verpasst.]
[39.g3]
39...Nf3+ [In einem Gespräch hat mir Kortschnoj (wir spielen zusammen für die SG Zürich) erzählt, dass
er in den letzten Partien des Matches (Baguio 1978) sich nicht konzentrieren konnte - Karpovs
Psychologe hat ihn negativ beeinflußt!?!]

[Um 1980 herum dominierte Karpov die Schachwelt völlig. Miles hatte das Pech, gegen den Weltmeister
fast immer die schwarzen Steine führen zu müssen, denn Karpov war mit Weiß fürchterlich, während er
als Nachziehender schon mal ein schnelles Remis mitmachte. Demzufolge war die persönliche Bilanz in
den Spielen gegeneinander katastrophal für den Engländer. Doch dieses eine Mal sollte alles anders
sein...]

ein Misserfolg. Natürlich klappt so ein Trick nur einmal.]

World-ch29 Karpov-Kortschnoj +6–2=12 Merano (1), 01.10.1981
[Botvinnik,M]
1.c4 e6 [Kortschnoj wollte wohl den Partner von den Stellungen, die mit dem Zug d7–d5 verbunden sind
abbringen, aber Karpov strebt eine bewährte Eröffnung an.]
2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 [Mit Zugumstellung ein Damengambit.]
3...Be7 [In der Partie Botvinnik-Petrosian, Moskau 1963, folgte 4.cd: ed: 5.Lf4 c6 im weiteren Verlauf
konnte Schwarz das Problem der Entwicklung des Damenläufers mittels Lc8–f5 erfolgreich lösen.]
4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 0–0 7.e3 b6 [Ein schon von Capablanca und Tartakower in die Turnierpraxis
eingeführter Zug. Später wurde dieses System "Bondarewski Makogonow System" genannt.]
8.Rc1 Bb7 9.Be2 [In Baguio 1978 spielte Kortschnoj 9.Ld3; er wählte auch die Läuferentwicklung auf
g2. Dieser Zug veranlasste Karpov 35 Min. nachzudenken.]
9...Nbd7 10.cxd5 exd5 11.0–0 c5 12.dxc5 [Ein schwerwiegender Entschluß. Es gelingt Weiß nicht, aus
den hängenden Bauern d5 und c5 Nutzen zu ziehen.]
[12.Ne5 Nxe5 13.dxe5 Ne4 Auch so hat Weiß nichts erreicht.]
12...bxc5 13.Qc2 Rc8 14.Rfd1 Qb6 15.Qb1 [Besser war 15.Lg3. ]
[15.Bg3 d4 16.exd4 Bxf3 17.dxc5!]
15...Rfd8 16.Rc2 Qe6 17.Bg3 [Weiß muß sich mit dem Abtausch seines Damenläufers abfinden.]
[17.Rcd2 Ne4! 18.Nxe4 dxe4 19.Bxe7 exf3 20.Bxd8 fxe2 21.Rxe2 Rxd8 22.Red2 Qg4 Mit klarem Vorteil
für Schwarz.]
17...Nh5 18.Rcd2 Nxg3 19.hxg3 Nf6 20.Qc2 g6 21.Qa4 a6 22.Bd3 [Es ist schwer für Weiß, Aktivität zu
entwickeln. Kortchnoi trachtet danach, den Läufer nach a2 zu bringen, um den Druck auf den Bauern d5
zu verstärken.]
22...Kg7 23.Bb1 Qb6 24.a3 [Weiß bemerkt die Gefahr nicht. Jetzt ist die Partie bereits entschieden. Nach
24.Se2 hätte man die Ereignisse noch abwarten können.]
24...d4! [Dieser Zug entscheidet endgültig, er wäre nicht möglich gewesen, wenn sich Weiß im
12.Zug den Mittelbauern d4 erhalten hätte.]
25.Ne2 [Der geschwächte weiße Königsflügel wird eine bequeme Zielscheibe.]
[25.exd4 Bc6! 26.Qc2 (26.Qc4 Bxf3 27.gxf3 (27.dxc5 Bxd1 28.cxb6 Rxc4 29.Rxd8 Bxd8 30.Nxd1 Rc1)

25...dxe3 26.fxe3 c4 27.Ned4 Qc7 28.Nh4 [Deckt indirekt den Bauern g3(28...Dc7xg3 29.Shf5+ oder
Sdf5+).]
28...Qe5 29.Kh1 Kg8 [Einer der weißen Bauern ist todgeweiht; die Partie ist für Weiß hoffnungslos.]

37.Qd7 Bc7 [Mit der dreizügigen Mattdrohung 38...Df2+ 39.Kh1 Df1+ 40.Sg1 Sf2#.]
38.Kh1 Rxb2 [Wieder droht Matt.]
39.Rxd3 [Der Kampf wird wohl nur fortgesetzt, weil beide Partner in Zeitnot sind.]
39...cxd3 40.Qxd3 Qd6 41.Qe4 Qd1+ 42.Ng1 Qd6 43.Nhf3 Rb5 [Weiß gibt auf. Nach der Eröffnung
spielte Kortschnoj passiv und unsicher, Karpov hingegen nutzte fast alle Möglichkeiten aus.]
0–1

[Unzicker,W]
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 [Dieser Zug, den man die "Berliner Verteidigung" nennt, ist eine
vollwertige Entgegnung auf den spanischen Läuferzug.]
4.0–0 Nxe4 [Außer diesem Zug kommt vor allem noch der von Steinitz bevorzugte 4...d6 in Frage,
Vielleicht ist dieser Zug sogar sicherer.]
5.d4 Be7 [5...Nd6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.dxe5 Nf5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 9.Nc3 Die schwarze Stellung ist unbequem,
aber noch akzeptabel.]
6.Qe2 Nd6 7.Bxc6 bxc6 [Schlecht wäre es, hier mit dem Damenbauern wiederzunehmen (s.Var.).]

15.Nf5 d5 16.Nxe7+ Qxe7 [Weiß hat nun einen kleinen Vorteil. ]
17.Qd2! [Ein wichtiger Zug. Er verhindert 17...Db4.]
17...Qh4 [Besser war z.B. 17...Tfe8.]
18.Ne2 Rfe8 19.b3 Re7 [Es drohte 20.c4!]
20.Ng3 Qf6 21.f3 Be8 22.Ne2 h6 23.Bf2 Qg6 [Besser war 22...Ted7, gefolgt von 23...Dd8.]
24.Nc1 d4 [Dieser Zug wäre gut, wenn der c-Bauer nach c5 gelangen könnte. Karpov läßt ihn aber nicht
dahin kommen. Besser war 24...Se6–g5.]
[24...Ng5 25.Bg3 Rxe1+ 26.Rxe1 Qf6]
25.Nd3 Qf6 [Schlecht wäre 25.Ld4: gewesen, da nach 25...Td7 die Fesselung des Läufers auf der d-

43.Bd3 g5 44.Bxf5 Bxf5 45.Ne3 Bb1 46.b4 [A very similar ending has been reached to Saidy-Fischer.
The differences (apart from the reversal of colours): the defending side's queenside pawns are fixed and
therefore weaker; but the kingside pawns are better placed to prevent White's king breaking through.
They are somewhat as I discussed in Saidy-Fischer with the exception that the h-pawn has advanced - a
slight drawback from Black's point of view.]
46...gxh4? [Kasparov must have missed Karpov's reply.]
[But what happens if Black does not capture on h4? Does White have significant winning chances? In
Informator Geller gives simply 46...Bg6 . Let's continue a little further from that point. (This has probably
already been researched, but I don't have an analysis of the game to hand. In a way that might be a good
thing: I'm not clouded by anyone else's thoughts, no matter how erudite!) 47.Kg2 Black can now choose
to wait with (B1) 47...Ke6, or try to simplify the position with (B2) 47...gxh4. (First let's look at the most
direct method of play for White: 47.hxg5 fxg5 48.f4 gxf4 (48...g4 49.f5 (49.Ng2 Ke6 and White can't get

satisfactory methods of defence to the immediate attempt at a breakthrough, so let's now look at the more
subtle...) 47...gxh4 Black is not obliged to capture on h4, but White is going to play g4 anyway, followed, if
necessary by f4. (47...Ke6 48.g4 gxh4
a) 48...hxg4 49.fxg4 White moves the king to g3, then plays the Nh3 (for instance) forcing Black to
capture on h4, so transposing to line 'B2'.;

accurate play.; 49.Kh3 transposes to the next variation 'B2'.) Although White no longer has the reply Ng2,

went a bit over the top with the analysis of this ending; hope you didn't find it too boring. I will probably
discover that this has all been investigated before and with greater accuracy, but anyway, these are my
findings:-Black ought to be able to draw with 46...Bg6, either by sitting tight with 47...Ke6 or simplifying
with 47...gxh4. However, in both cases, great accuracy is required, and in a practical game I would say
that the odds of White winning are greater than that of Black drawing. If a (youthful) 'Kasparov' can
blunder, then so can anyone. One thing is clear, having the pawn on h5 makes life more difficult for Black
than if it were on its starting square.]

[Lutz,C]
[Die fünf Weltmeisterschaftskämpfe zwischen Garry Kasparov und Anatoli Karpov in den Jahren 1984 bis
1990 zählen sicherlich zu den spannendsten Ereignissen in der Schachgeschichte. Der erste Wettkampf,
der im September 1984 begann und erst im Februar des Folgejahres endete, wird dabei eine gesonderte
Rolle einnehmen: Der junge Emporkömmling Kasparov traf auf den etablierten Weltmeister Karpov. Für
Kasparov muss der Beginn dieses Wettkampfes eine herbe Enttäuschung gewesen sein: Bei dem auf
sechs Gewinnpartien angelegten Kampf stand es nach 9 Partien bereits 4:0 für Karpov. Dann gab es
viele Punkteteilungen, ehe Karpov die nachfolgende Partie gewann und so auf 5:0 erhöhte. Was danach
geschah, ist Schachgeschichte. Karpov war von dem Gedanken besessen, Kasparov mit 6:0 zu schlagen
und ihn vollständig zu vernichten. Daher vermied er übermäßiges Risiko und erlaubte so Kasparov,
wieder ins Match zu kommen. Am Schluss hatte Kasparov den längeren Atem und konnte auf 3:5
verkürzen, ehe der Wettkampf unter skandalösen, nie geklärten Umständen abgebrochen wurde. Beim
neu angesetzten, zweiten Wettkampf hatte Kasparov die Lehren aus der Beinahe-Niederlage gezogen
und errang nach einem wiederum dramatischen Kampf den WM-Titel.Bei meinen Analysen stütze ich
mich auf Anatoli Karpovs Kommentare in "Anatoli Karpov's Best Games".]

Niederlagen einstecken mußte, griff er auf das klassische Damengambit zurück und konnte mehr
Stabilität in sein Spiel bringen. Heute wählt Kasparov allerdings das klasssiche Damengambit nur noch
selten und bevorzugt stattdessen die aggressivere Grünfeld-Verteidigung.]
5.Bg5 h6 6.Bxf6 Bxf6 7.e3 0–0 8.Qc2 [Beim 3.Wettkampf 1986 zwischen Karpov und Kasparov war es
Kasparov, der als Weißer die Variante 8.Rc1 auf höchstem Niveau einführte und einige wichtige Partien
gewann.; 8.Qb3 ist eine andere wichtige Alternative. Wegen des Drucks gegen d5 muss Schwarz das
befreiende ...c7–c5 erst einmal zurückstellen.]
8...c5 9.dxc5 dxc4 [Kasparov muss diese Variante gut bekannt gewesen sein, denn er hatte sie ein Jahr
zuvor selbst mit den weißen Steinen gegen Jan Timman zum Sieg geführt:]
[9...Qa5 10.cxd5 exd5 11.0–0–0 Be6 12.Nxd5 Rc8 13.Kb1! Bxd5 14.Rxd5 Nc6 15.Bc4 Nb4 16.Qd2 Rxc5

Bg7 34.Nh5 und 1:0 G.Kasparov,G-J.Timman (London 1984)]
10.Bxc4 Qa5 11.0–0 Bxc3 [11...Qxc5 12.Ne4 Qe7 13.Nxf6+ Qxf6 14.Rfd1 mit spürbarem Druck für Weiß
(Karpov)]
12.Qxc3 Qxc3 13.bxc3 Nd7 14.c6 [Natürlich muss Weiß seinen Mehrbauern derart zurückgeben, dass
auch die schwarze Bauernstellung verschlechtert wird.]
14...bxc6 15.Rab1 Nb6 16.Be2 c5 [Kann Weiß in dieser nahezu symmetrischen Stellung überhaupt auf
Vorteil offen ? Das theoretische Urteil lautet heute "Nein", aber dies am Brett gegen Karpov zu zeigen, ist
keine einfache Sache, selbst für Kasparov nicht!]
17.Rfc1! [Die Bedeutung dieses Zuges unterstreicht Karpov deutlich in seinem Kommentar: "Die
Bewegung des Turmes nach c1 ist der erste in einer Reihe präziser Züge von Weiß. 17.fd1 drängt sich
auf, aber langfristig kann dies nur zu Abtäuschen entlang der d-Linie führen. Auf c1 erfüllt der Turm eine
prophylaktische Aufgabe (die Verteidigung des c-Bauern) und nimmt dem Läufer nicht das Feld d1 weg.
Die Situation wird erst in sechs Zügen vollständig klar werden und ich muss zugeben, dass ich die
richtige Aufstellung meiner Figuren mehr fühlte als sie richtig zu sehen." ]
17...Bb7?! [Dieser Zug erfasst den Geist der Stellung nicht richtig. Auf der Diagonalen a8–h1 kann der
Läufer keinen Blumentopf gewinnen, wichtiger ist dagegen die Kontrolle über das Feld b5.]
[17...Bd7 ist der richtige Zug. Wie etliche Partien kurz nach dieser Begegnung zeigen, hat Schwarz dann
keine Probleme mehr. Es ist daher kein Wunder, dass 8.c2 in der modernen Turnierpraxis keine Rolle
mehr spielt. Einige Beispiele: 18.Ba6 (18.Ne5 Ba4 19.Nd3 Rfc8 20.c4 Rc7 21.Rc3 Rd8 22.Rbc1 Kf8
23.Ra3 Ke7 24.f3 f6 25.Kf2 e5 26.Rcc3 Rd6= in S.Agdestein-K.Spraggett (Interzonenturnier Taxco 1985))

(Tashkent 1984)]
18.Kf1 Bd5 19.Rb5 ["Der weiße Turm strebt nach einer idealen Position - dem Feld a5. Der a2 kann
nicht genommen werden wegen 20.c4, und der Läufer ist gefangen - der c1 beeinflußt bereits den Lauf
der Dinge."(Karpov)]
19...Nd7? [Verliert letztlich einen Bauern.]
[19...Rac8 20.Ra5 Rc7 21.c4 Ba8 ist zäher (Karpov).]
20.Ra5 Rfb8 21.c4 Bc6 22.Ne1! ["Paradoxerweise ziehen die weißen Figuren zunächst zurück, bevor
sie zum Angriff übergehen.", so Karpov. Der schwarze c-Bauer wird eingekreist.]
22...Rb4 23.Bd1! ["Wenn 23.Sd3 sofort geschieht, dann folgt 23...Ta4, und der Bauer ist gerettet. Nun
jedoch kann der Marsch e1–d3xc5 nicht verhindert werden. Das volle Mass der weißen Möglichkeiten
wird nun deutlich und die versteckte Stärke des stillen Zuges 17.fc1 wird offenbar." (Karpov)]
23...Rb7 24.f3 Rd8 25.Nd3 g5 26.Bb3! [Ein letzter Vorbereitungszug, bevor Weiß endlich den Bauern
nimmt.]
[26.Nxc5? Nxc5 27.Rxc5 Rb2 28.Rxc6 Rdd2 (Karpov) würde Schwarz um die Früchte seiner Arbeit
bringen.]
26...Kf8 27.Nxc5 Nxc5 28.Rxc5 [Der Bauer ist erobert. Es bedarf jedoch noch enormer technischer
Anstrengungen, um diesen in einen Punkt umzusetzen.]
28...Rd6 29.Ke2 Ke7 30.Rd1 Rxd1 31.Kxd1 Kd6 32.Ra5 f5 33.Ke2 h5 [Schwarz will am Königsflügel
Gegenspiel erlangen, schwächt jedoch die 5.Reihe. Karpov nutzt dies sofort aus.]
34.e4!? fxe4 35.fxe4 Bxe4 36.Rxg5 Bf5 37.Ke3?! [Wie Karpov schreibt, hätte Weiß den h5 festlegen
sollen, da dieser Bauer im weiteren Verlauf Weiß noch Ärger bereitet.]

37...h4 38.Kd4 e5+ 39.Kc3 Bb1 40.a3 Re7 41.Rg4 ["Der letzte Zug von Weiß war der Abgabezug. Im
Verlauf der Hausanalyse wurde es deutlich, dass die Hängestellung außergewöhnlich scharf ist und
Schwarz Gegenspiel bekommen könnte. Um einen klaren Weg zum Vorteil zu finden, musste ich
unmittelbar mehrere Probleme lösen. Es ist kein Zufall, dass dieses Endspiel bereits in
Endspielmonographien eingegangen ist."(Karpov)]
41...h3! [Aktives Spiel ist im Endspiel immer notwendig !]

42.g3 [42.gxh3 Rh7 gibt Schwarz Gegenspiel (Karpov).]

[42...Rf7? 43.c5+]
43.Rg7 Rf8 44.Rxa7 Rf2 45.Kb4 Rxh2? [Weiß hat immer noch einen Mehrbauern, aber es sind fünf
Freibauern auf dem Brett. Das Spiel ist nun sehr scharf, aber Karpov findet den Weg zum Sieg.]

[Lutz,C]
[Im zweiten WM-Kampf stand es nach 15 Partien 7½:7½, Kasparov musste also aus den verbleibenden
neun Partien mindestens fünf Punkte holen, um seinem Erzrivalen Karpov den WM-Titel abzunehmen.
Einen Grundstein zu seinem Matchsieg legte er in der nachfolgenden Partie. Selten mußte Karpov als
Weißer eine derart vernichtende Niederlage hinnehmen, mir persönlich fällt als vergleichbarer Fall nur die
Begegnung zwischen Karpov und Kasparov in Linares 1993 ein.Bei meinen Kommentaren habe ich mich
auf die folgenden Quellen gestützt:1) Kasparovs Kommentare im Informator 40/202;2) Graham Burgess'
Kommentare in "The World's Greatest Chess Games" von Burgess/Nunn/Emms.]
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nb5 d6 6.c4 Nf6 7.N1c3 a6 8.Na3 d5?! [Dieses Bauernopfer
wurde in der Presse das "Straßenbahn-Gambit" genannt. Warum? Der Erfinder Andras Adorjan, zu jener
Zeit Kasparovs Sekundant, hatte diese Idee während einer Fahrt mit der Straßenbahn! Objektiv ist
8...d5?! nicht korrekt, wie uns die Anmerkung zum 12. Zug von Weiß zeigt, aber die Schachwelt sollte
Karpov dankbar sein, dass er nicht die Widerlegung fand. Dabei hatte Kasparov diesen Zug bereits in der
12. Partie des Matches angewandt und ein kurzzügiges Remis erreicht. Es spricht für Kasparovs Mut
(und auch gegen Karpovs Vorbereitung), dass die Variante ein zweites Mal aufs Brett kommt und zu
einem glänzenden schwarzen Sieg führt.]
9.cxd5 exd5 10.exd5 Nb4 11.Be2 [11.Bc4 Bg4 12.Be2 Bxe2 13.Qxe2+ Qe7 14.Be3 Nbxd5 15.Nc2 Nxe3
16.Nxe3 Qe6 17.0–0 Bc5 18.Rfe1 0–0 mit Remsisschluss geschah in der zuvor erwähnten 12.WM-
Partie.]
11...Bc5 12.0–0?! [Nicht die beste Wahl.]
[Einige Zeit später fand Karpov den richtigen Zug: 12.Be3! widerlegt das Gambit und ist der Grund, dass
8...d5?! nicht mehr gespielt wird. Nach 12...Bxe3 13.Qa4+ Nd7 14.Qxb4 Bc5 15.Qe4+ Kf8 16.0–0 b5
17.Nc2 hatte Weiß in A.Karpov-J.Van der Wiel (Brussels 1986) einfach einen Bauern mehr, mit klarem
Vorteil. Trotzdem scheint dies nicht Karpovs Variante zu sein, denn letztlich gelang ihm nur ein
Unentschieden.]
12...0–0 13.Bf3 [Karpov klammert sich an den d5, aber der Läuferzug schwächt das Feld d3, wie gleich
deutlich wird.]
[Besser ist es, den Mehrbauern zurückzugeben und eine kleine Initiative zu behalten: 13.Bg5 Nbxd5
14.Nxd5 Qxd5 15.Qxd5 (15.Bxf6 Qxd1 16.Rfxd1 gxf6= wird von Kasparov als Ausgleich eingeschätzt.)
15...Nxd5 16.Bf3 Be6 17.Rfd1 Nf6 18.Rac1 mit weißem Vorteil in D.Barbulescu-H.Wirthensohn
(Mannschafts-WM Luzern 1985)]
13...Bf5 14.Bg5 Re8! [Wie ein roter Faden zieht sich das Thema der Prophylaxe in dieser Partie durch
Kasparovs Spiel. Wie auch später in den Zügen 21, 24 und 27 konzentriert Kasparow seine Bemühungen
auf die Störung des gegnerischen Figurenspiels.]
[14...b5? ist dagegen überhastet, denn 15.Be4! würde einen Strich durch das schwarze Spiel machen.]
15.Qd2 b5! [Bis zum Schluss der Partie werden die weißen Springer kein Bein mehr auf die Erde
bekommen.]
16.Rad1 [16.Qf4 Bg6 17.Bxf6 Qxf6 18.Qxf6 gxf6 (Kasparov) führt zum Ausgleich, aber das war Karpov
anscheinend nicht genug. Hätte er geahnt, dass er nur fünf Züge später bereis um das nackte Überleben
kämpft ...]
16...Nd3! [Dieser Springer lähmt das weiße Spiel. In der Folge dreht sich alles darum, ob Weiß den
Springer herauswerfen kann.]
17.Nab1? [Während Schwarz bislang "nur" Kompensation für den Bauern hatte, nimmt nun seine
Initiative beträchtliche Größe an. In der Folge läßt Kasparov seinen Gegner nicht wieder ins Spiel
zurückkommmen.]
[17.d6! ist absolut erzwungen. Kasparov analysiert: 17...Qxd6 (17...Ra7 18.Nd5; 17...b4? 18.Bxa8 Qxa8
19.Na4 bxa3 20.Bxf6 gxf6 21.Nxc5 Nxc5 22.Qd5+–) 18.Bxa8 Rxa8 , und Schwarz hat gutes Spiel für
die Qualität, aber nicht mehr.]
17...h6! 18.Bh4 b4 19.Na4?! [19.Ne2!? kam vielleicht in Betracht. Kasparov gibt 19...g5 20.Bxg5 Nxf2
(20...hxg5? 21.Qxg5+ Bg6 22.Rxd3+–) 21.Rxf2 Bxf2+ 22.Kxf2 hxg5 23.Qxg5+ Bg6 mit schwarzem Vorteil
an, aber Burgess weist darauf hin, dass nach 24.Nd2 Weiß 25.Sf4 droht und die Partie noch nicht
entschieden ist.]
19...Bd6 [Wie Kasparov schreibt, hatte er diese Stellung bereits in der häuslichen Analyse auf dem Brett !
Dies gibt einen Eindruck von Kasparovs Eröffnungsvorbereitung, die nach wie vor ohne Parallele im
Weltschach ist.]
20.Bg3 Rc8 21.b3 [Die Idee ist offensichtlich 22.Sb2, aber Kasparov hat noch einen Pfeil im Köcher.]
21...g5! 22.Bxd6 [22.Nb2? Nxb2 23.Qxb2 g4 24.Be2 Rc2–+]
22...Qxd6 23.g3 [Nun hat der Läufer ein Rückzugsfeld, aber gleichzeitig wird das Feld f3 geschwächt.
Der nächste schwarze Zug nutzt dies auch.]
23...Nd7! 24.Bg2 [Schweren Herzens wird Karpov einsehen müssen, dass er den d3 nicht mehr so
schnell los wird.]
[24.Nb2 wird nämlich brillant widerlegt, wie Kasparov zeigt: 24...Qf6! 25.Nc4 (25.Nxd3 Bxd3 26.Qxd3
Ne5! und Weiß verliert die Dame.) 25...N7e5 26.Be2 (26.Nxe5 Nxe5 27.Bg2 (27.Be2 Bd3–+) 27...Bd3
28.Rfe1 (28.f4 Rc2 29.Qe3 Bxf1 30.Rxf1 Nf3+! 31.Qxf3 Ree2–+ (Burgess)) 28...Nf3+ 29.Bxf3 Qxf3
30.Rxe8+ Rxe8 31.Qxd3 Re1+ 32.Rxe1 Qxd3–+) 26...Bh3 Kasparov schließt hier die Variante mit dem
Urteil, dass Schwarz gewinnt. Burgess führt diese Variante noch etwas weiter: 27.Nxe5 Nxe5 28.f4 Qb6+
29.Rf2 Ng4 30.Bxg4 Bxg4 31.Re1 Rxe1+ 32.Qxe1 gxf4 33.gxf4 Bf3 34.d6 Ba8 Gemäß Burgess wird den
langfristigen Drohungen gegen den weißen König schwer zu widerstehen sein.]
24...Qf6! [Damit ist 25.Sb2 verhindert.]
25.a3 a5 26.axb4 axb4 27.Qa2 [Wenn Karpov, ein unbestrittener Meister des Figurenspiels, derartige
Züge macht, muss es um die weiße Stellung einfach schlecht stehen.]
27...Bg6! [Einmal mehr Prohylaxe. Mit seinem letzten Zug beabsichtigte Weiß 27.d2, was nun wegen
27...e2 mit direkten Angriff gegen f2 unmöglich ist.]
28.d6 [Obwohl es nicht so aussieht: Weiß hat immer noch einen Mehrbauern...]
28...g4 [... den Schwarz jedoch verschmäht und stattdessen weiteren Raum am Königsflügel gewinnt.]
[28...Qxd6? 29.Nd2 (Kasparov) gibt Weiß noch etwas Luft zum Atmen.]
29.Qd2 [Offensichtlich hat Weiß keine Idee mehr.]
29...Kg7 [Schwarz braucht sich nicht zu beeilen.]
30.f3 [Öffnet die Stellung für die schwarzen Figuren, aber was sonst.]
[30.f4 Bf5! (Kasparov), und Weiß ist nach wie vor vollständig paralysiert. Schwarz kann als
Nächstes ...h6–h5–h4 spielen.]
30...Qxd6 31.fxg4 Qd4+ 32.Kh1 Nf6! [Ein Springer auf d3 ist Kasparov nicht genug, auch sein Kollege
will mitwirken. Es droht 33...xg4 oder 33...e4.]
33.Rf4 Ne4 34.Qxd3 [Endlich ist der Schreckensspringer gefallen, aber zu welchem Preis !]
34...Nf2+ 35.Rxf2 Bxd3 36.Rfd2 Qe3! [Energisch bis zum Schluss. Zwar hat Weiß drei Figuren für die
Dame, aber seine Grundreihe ist schwach.]
37.Rxd3 Rc1! 38.Nb2 [38.Rxe3 Rxd1+ 39.Bf1 Rxe3–+]
38...Qf2 39.Nd2 Rxd1+ [Der Vollständigkeit halber sei erwähnt, dass nach 39...Re2! Schwarz im
nächsten Zug auf g2 oder h2 mattsetzt ...]
40.Nxd1 Re1+ [...aber auch so hat Karpov nichts mehr lachen. Sicherlich ist dies eine der besten Partien
der Schachgeschichte.]

(562800) Sokolov,Andrei (2595) - Karpov,Anatoly (2700) [C92]

Bugojno Bugojno (4), 05.1986
[Lutz,C]
[Der Moskauer Großmeister Andrej Sokolov hatte in der zweiten Hälfte der 80er Jahre einen Höhenflug,
der ihn in die absolute Weltspitze brachte. Im WM-Zyklus 1985–1987 konnte er in den
Kandidatenwettkämpfen zunächst Rafael Vaganian und Artur Jussupow aus dem Rennen werfen. Dann
verlor er im Kandidatenfinale 1987 in Linares klar gegen Anatoli Karpov mit 3,½:7½. Dieses Match stellt
auch einen Wendepunkt in Sokolovs Karriere dar, danach konnte er nie mehr so richtig an seine Erfolge
anknüpfen. Heute lebt Sokolov in Frankreich.Die nachfolgende Partie zeigt Sokolov auf dem Höhepunkt
seiner Karriere. Gegen den Exweltmeister Karpov, der damals immer noch nahezu unschlagbar war,
gelang ihm ein Angriffssieg im geschlossenen Spanier. Ich stütze mich bei der Kommentierung auf die
Analysen von Sokolov im Informator 41/411.]
1.e4 [Sokolovs Eröffnungsepertoire war und ist sehr begrenzt. Zu seinen Stärken gehört(e) jedoch ein
aggressives Spiel mit den weißen Steinen.]
1...e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0–0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0–0 9.h3 Bb7 10.d4 Re8 [Die
sogenannte Zaitsev-Variante war eine der Lieblingseröffnungen von Karpov, ehe er Ende der 80er Jahre
Caro-Kann zu seiner Hauptwaffe gegen 1.e4 auserkor. Heute spielt Karpov nur noch sehr selten den
geschlossenen Spanier.]
11.Ng5 [Diese Zugwiederholung ist eine beliebte Möglichkeit für Weiß, ein Unentschieden zu erzielen.
Karpov musste als Nachziehender auf diese Weise häufig einen Remisschluss zulassen. Andrei Sokolov
hat jedoch andere Ziele in dieser Partie, die Zugwiederholung erfolgt nur, um Bedenkzeit zu gewinnen.]
11...Rf8 12.Nf3 Re8 13.Nbd2 Bf8 14.Bc2 [14.a4 h6 15.Bc2 exd4 16.cxd4 Nb4 17.Bb1 c5 18.d5 Nd7
19.Ra3 f5 stand in vielen WM-Partien zwischen Kasparov und Karpov auf dem Programm.; 14.d5 ist
heutzutage sehr populär, wenngleich Weiß nur auf eine kleine Initiative hoffen kann.]
14...Nb8 [Schwarz gruppiert den Springer um. Diese Motiv ist aus der Breyer-Variante bekannt. In der Tat
kann Schwarz im nächsten Zug in diese Variante überlenken.]
[14...g6 ist die Alternative.]
15.a4 c5?! [Zum Zeitpunkt der Partie eine Neuerung, die allerdings wenig Nachahmer fand. Weiß kann
nun vorteilhaft den Bauernkeil e4/d5 etablieren.]
[15...Nbd7 16.Bd3 c6 führt zu einem Abspiel der Breyer-Variante.]
16.d5 Nbd7 17.b4! [Ein typischer Zug. Weiß nimmt das Feld c5 unter Kontrolle.]
[17.Nf1?! c4 würde zu einer ähnlichen Stellung wie in der Partie führen, aber mit einem bedeutsamen
Unterschied: Der weiße b-Bauer ist noch auf b2, Schwarz erhält das Feld c5 für seinen Springer. Der
weiße Vorteil ist geringer als in der Partie.]
17...c4 [Schwarz kann diesen Zug kaum umgehen. Notfalls kann Weiß durch Druckspiel gegen den b5
(mit e2 und/oder d3) ..c5–c4 erzwingen. Ein Tausch auf b4 wäre selbstmörderisch für Schwarz, da
dann der Sd2 nach a5 gelangen und der schwarze Damenflügel zusammenbricht.]
18.Nf1 [Weiß bringt nun seine Kräfte zum Königsflügel, um f2–f4 vorzubereiten.]
18...Nh5 19.N3h2 g6 20.Be3 Be7 21.Qd2 Rf8 22.Bh6 Ng7 23.Ng3 [Schwarz hat seine Kräfte mühsam
umgruppiert und so eine Auffangstellung erreicht. Man beachte, dass (im Vergleich zu königsindischen
Strukturen) Schwarz niemals zu ...f7–f5 kommt, da Weiß bereits viele Figuren am Königsflügel
versammelt hat.]
23...Kh8 24.Ng4 Nf6 25.Nxf6 Bxf6 26.Rf1 Qd7 27.f4 a5 [Schwarz läßt den weißen Vormarsch am
Königsflügel geschehen und setzt auf Gegenspiel am Damenflügel.]
[27...exf4 28.Bxf4 a5 29.bxa5 Rxa5 (29...b4 30.cxb4 Bxa1 31.Rxa1+–) 30.axb5 "mit klarem Vorteil für
Weiß" laut Sokolov. Die schwarzen Bauern auf c4 und d6 sind schwach. Man beachte, dass Schwarz
nicht den rückständigen e4 ausnutzen kann, da seine Figuren (speziell der g7 und der b7) zu
schlecht stehen. Es könnte so weitergehen: 30...Rxa1 31.Rxa1 Qxb5 32.Rb1 (32.Bxd6? Qb6+) 32...Qa6
33.Kh1 Durch Umgruppierung seines Springers nach e3 oder d4 kann Weiß den Druck weiter
verstärken.]
28.f5 axb4 29.cxb4 bxa4 [Am Damenflügel hat Schwarz kurzeitig einen Mehrbauern. Er kann jedoch
kein weiteres Gegenspiel erzeugen. Im Gegenteil, bald wird Weiß auch hier die Initiative übernehmen.]
30.Rf3 [Weiß verstärkt weiter seine Stellung.]
30...Kg8 31.Qf2 Bh4 [31...Qd8 32.Rxa4 Rxa4 33.Bxa4 (Sokolov)]
32.Bxg7 Bxg3 [32...Kxg7? 33.Nh5++– (Sokolov)]
33.Rxg3 Kxg7 34.f6+ [Dieser Bauer wird dem Schwarzen wie eine Gräte im Halse stecken bleiben. Von
nun an muss Schwarz immer ein Auge darauf haben, dass nicht die weiße Dame auf g7 mattsetzt.]
34...Kh8 35.Rga3! [Es mag überraschend scheinen, dass Weiß seine Kräfte am Damenflügel
konzentriert, denn eigentlich hätte man einen Angriff am Königsflügel erwartet. Sokolov hat jedoch
erkannt, dass dort kein direkter Sieg möglich ist, und startet nun ein Spiel am Damenflügel. Dieser Plan
befolgt das Prinzip der zwei Schwächen: Wegen der latenten Mattgefahr am Königsflügel (1.Schwäche)
kann Schwarz nicht auch noch den Damenflügel (2.Schwäche) verteidigen. Weiß kann schnell zwischen
den beiden Flügeln hin- und herwechseln, dies bringt die Entscheidung.]
[35.Rg4? Bc8 (Sokolov) ist wenig überzeugend. Schwarz will mit ...Da7(+) zum Damentausch kommen,
der g4 wäre dann deplatziert.]
35...Qb5 36.Qe3!+– [Hier steht die Dame ideal, da sie bei Bedarf nach h6 schwenken kann, der f8 sich
also nicht beliebig weit entfernen kann. Weiß steht auf Gewinn.]
36...Rg8 [Schwarz will mit ...g6–g5 den f6 umzingeln.]
[36...Qxb4? 37.Rb1+– (Sokolov)]
37.h4 [Prophylaxe gegen den schwarzen Plan.]
37...g5?! [Dieser impulsive Zug (vermutlich in Zeitnot) beschleunigt den schwarzen Untergang. Schwarz
will am Königsflügel Gegenspiel erlangen, aber auf den sich öffnenden Linien wird er selbst schließlich
mattgesetzt. Andererseits wäre Schwarz auch chancenlos, wenn er einfach stillhalten würde.]
[Nach z.B. 37...Bc8 (was sonst ?) 38.Rxa4 Rxa4 39.Rxa4 dringt Weiß ein: 39...Bb7 40.Kh2 Rc8 41.Ra7
Qxb4 42.Ba4 Der Läufer gelangt mit tödlichem Effekt nach c6. Man beachte, dass durch den f6 die
schwarze Grundreihe unrettbar schwach ist. 42...Rg8 (42...c3 43.Bc6 Bxc6 44.Qh6 Rg8 45.Rxf7+–)
43.Bc6 Bxc6 44.dxc6 Qc5 45.Qxc5 dxc5 46.Rd7 c3 47.c7 c2 48.Rd8+–]
38.hxg5 Rg6 39.Kf2! h6 [Nach 39...Rag8 40.Rh1 wird Schwarz mattgesetzt, wie Sokolov angibt: 40...Bc8
(40...Rxg5 41.Qh3 Rxg2+ 42.Kf1 c3+ 43.Bd3+–) 41.Rxh7+! Kxh7 42.Qh3+! Bxh3 43.Rxh3+ Rh6
44.Rxh6#]
40.Rh1 Kh7 [40...Kg8 41.Rxh6 Rxh6 42.gxh6 Kh7 43.Qh3! Qxb4 44.Qf5+ Kh8 45.Qg5 Rg8 46.Qg7+!
Rxg7 47.hxg7+ Kg8 48.Rh3 Qd2+ 49.Kg1 Qc1+ 50.Bd1! Qxd1+ 51.Kh2+– (Sokolov)]
41.Bd1 Rag8 [Nach 41...Qxb4 42.Bh5 gibt Sokolov einige weitere hübsche Varianten an: 42...Qb2+
43.Kg3 Rxg5+ 44.Qxg5! Rg8 (44...hxg5 45.Bxf7#) 45.Bg6+ Rxg6 46.Rxh6+ Rxh6 47.Qg7#]
42.Qh3 Rh8 43.Bh5 [43.Bh5 Rxg5 44.Bxf7 , und Schwarz wird in wenigen Zügen matt.]

[Lutz,C]
[Der 3. WM-Kampf zwischen Karpow und Kasparow sah die Rollen der beiden Kontrahenten vertauscht:
Kasparow als amtierendem Weltmeister genügte ein Unentschieden, um den Titel zu gewinnen, also ein
12:12 aus 24 Partien. Zunächst sah es so aus, als würde er dieses Ziel problemlos erreichen, denn nach
16 Partien führte Kasparow mit 9,5:6,5. Dann musste er in den Partien 17, 18, und 19 jedoch drei
Niederlagen hinnehmen und auf einmal wurde das Match wieder spannend. Kasparow beschuldigte
seinen damaligen Sekundanten Wladimirow, geheime Analysen an Karpow weitergegeben zu haben und
so für die drei Niederlagen verantwortlich zu sein. Kasparow konnte dies jedoch nicht beweisen, daher
liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass er lediglich einen Sündenbock für sein eigenes Versagen brauchte.Durch
den Sieg in der vorliegenden Partie konnte Kasparow jedoch alle Zweifel an der Titelverteidigung
ausräumen und gewann letztlich mit 12,5:11,5.Bei meinen Kommentaren stütze ich mich auf die Analysen
Kasparows im Informator 42/575.]
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bxf6 Bxf6 7.e3 0–0 8.Rc1 c6 9.Bd3 Nd7 10.0–0 dxc4
11.Bxc4 e5 12.h3!? [In den vorangehenden Partien des WM-Matchs wurde dieser Zug mehrfach
getestet, und es dauerte einige Jahre, bis eine wirksame Ausgleichsfortsetzung für Schwarz gefunden
wurde (vergleiche die Anmerkung zum 18. Zug von Schwarz). Die Idee ist, eine Isolani-Stllung
herbeizuführen, in der der weiße Läufer einen unangenehmen Druck entlang der Diagonalen a2–g8
entfalten kann.]
[12.Ne4 exd4 13.Nxf6+ Nxf6 14.Qxd4 Qxd4 15.Nxd4 Bd7 führt zu einem ausgeglichenem Endspiel;
12.Bb3 exd4 13.exd4 ist nur scheinbar eine Zugumstellung zur Partie, denn statt 13...b6?! 14.h3 kann
Schwarz besser 13...Re8 nebst ...f8 und ...e6 spielen, und so den gefährlichen b3 abtauschen.
Schwarz hat dann keinerlei Probleme mehr.]
12...exd4 13.exd4 Nb6 [Hier zeigt sich die Pointe, warum Kasparow erst 12.h3 (statt 12.b3 gespielt
hat): Nach 13...Re8 kann 14.Qb3 mit Angriff gegen f7 geschehen, z.B. 14...Rf8 15.Qc2 Re8 16.Rfe1
Rxe1+ 17.Rxe1 Nf8 18.Qb3 Qc7 19.Ne4 Bd8 20.Ne5 Be6 21.Bxe6 Nxe6 22.Nxf7 Qxf7 23.Nd6 Qd7
24.Rxe6 Kh8 25.Re8+ Kh7 26.Qd3+ g6 27.Qb3 und 1:0 in einer Partie Hellsten,J-Olesen,M (Kopenhagen
1995)]
14.Bb3 Bf5 15.Re1 a5 16.a3 Re8 17.Rxe8+ Qxe8 18.Qd2 Nd7?! [Dieser Zug ist ungenau, da er nicht
das Problem entlang der Diagonalen a2–g8 löst.]
[18...Be6?! 19.Re1 nebst xe6 schwächt die schwarze Bauernstellung.; Wie in den Jahren nach dieser
Partie jedoch festgestellt wurde, ist 18...Qd7! der richtige Zug. Jetzt droht ...e6, und nach 19.Re1 Re8
20.Rxe8+ Qxe8 21.Qf4 Be6! 22.Bxe6 Qxe6 kann Weiß keinen Vorteil erlangen, z.B. 23.Qc7 (23.Qb8+
Qc8 24.Qa7 Nc4 verspricht Weiß ebenfalls nichts.) 23...Nc4 24.Qxb7 Bxd4 25.Nxd4 Qe1+ 26.Kh2 Qe5+
27.g3 Qxd4 28.Qc8+ Kh7 29.Qf5+= mit Dauerschach, wie in einigen Partien tatsächlich geschah.
Infolgedessen verlor das gesamte System mit 8.c1 an Popularität und wird heute nur noch selten
angewandt.]
19.Qf4 Bg6 20.h4! [Durch die Drohung h4–h5 will Weiß ...h6–h5 provozieren.]
20...Qd8 21.Na4 [Neben dem Feld e5 ist das Feld c5 ein wichtiger Stützpunkt.]
21...h5! [Schwächt das Feld g5, aber dennoch war dieser Zug unumgänglich.]
[21...Qb8?! 22.Qg4 Nf8 23.h5 Bh7 24.Nc5 mit großem Vorteil (Kasparow)]
22.Re1 b5!? [Eine interessante Entscheidung. Schwarz schwächt den c6, bekommt dafür aber
Gegenspiel am Damenflügel.]
[22...Qb8 23.Qe3 Qd6 24.Nc3 (Kasparow) ist die 'normale' Fortsetzung. Weiß behält Vorteil, da
Schwarz auf der e-Linie und der Diagonalen a2–g8 nichts entgegenzusetzen hat.]
23.Nc3 Qb8 24.Qe3! b4 25.Ne4 bxa3 [Schwarz kann mit 25...Bxe4? keinen Bauern gewinnen, denn
26.Qxe4 bxa3 27.Qxc6 axb2 28.Qd5! gewinnt für Weiß.]
26.Nxf6+ Nxf6 27.bxa3 Nd5 28.Bxd5 cxd5 29.Ne5 [Schwarz hat die Diagonale a2–g8 endlich
geschlossen, aber jetzt hat er ein neues Problem: Der e5 ist deutlich stärker als der g6.]
29...Qd8 30.Qf3 Ra6 31.Rc1 Kh7?! [Dieser Zug wird von Kasparow kritisiert.]
[Er gibt eine längere Variante an: 31...Qxh4 (Schwarz wäre natürlich froh, wenn er sein Sorgenkind, den
d5 abtauschen kann, allerdings verliert er einen weiteren Bauern) 32.Qxd5 Kh7 33.Nf3 Qg4 34.Ng5+
Kh6 35.Nxf7+ Bxf7 36.Qxf7 Rf6 37.Qc4 Rg6 38.g3 h4 39.Rc3 und trotz des Mehrbauern schätzt
Kasparow die Stellung als nur leicht vorteilhaft für Weiß ein. In der Tat gestaltet sich bei
Schwerfigurenendspielen die Verwertung eines Materialvorteils oftmals schwierig.]
32.Qh3 Rb6 33.Rc8 [Durch den Turm auf der 8.Reihe kann Weiß einige lästige Drohungen aufstellen.]
33...Qd6 34.Qg3 a4? [Dieser Zug verliert den a-Bauern, ohne dass Schwarz sich befreien kann.]
[34...Rb1+ 35.Kh2 Qa6 ist besser. Schwarz stellt die Gegendrohung ...f1 auf. 36.Re8! Um die e.Linie zu
kontrollieren. (36.Rf8? Qf1 37.Qf3 a4! (um ...b3 zu ermöglichen) 38.Nxf7 Bxf7 39.Qxf7 Qg1+ 40.Kg3
Rb3+ 41.f3 Qe1+= mit Dauerschach (Kasparow)) 36...Qb5 (36...Qf1 37.Qf3 führt jetzt zu nichts, da die
schwarzen Dame nicht mehr Dauerschach geben kann) 37.Ra8 mit klarem Vorteil (Kasparow). Eine
mögliche Variante ist 37...Qf1 38.Qf3 Qg1+ 39.Kg3 Qd1 40.Qxd5 Qb3+ 41.Qxb3 Rxb3+ 42.f3 Rxa3 43.d5
. Weiß hat großen Vorteil, aber er hat noch nicht gewonnen.]
35.Ra8! Qe6! [Wegen taktischer Wendungen kann der b6 nicht ziehen:]
[35...Rb3 36.Rh8+! Kxh8 37.Nxf7++– (Kasparow); 35...Ra6 36.Nxf7! Bxf7 37.Qd3++– (Kasparow)]
36.Rxa4 Qf5 37.Ra7! Rb1+ 38.Kh2 Rc1 [38...Rb2 39.Nf3 f6 40.Qc7+– (Kasparow)]
39.Rb7 Rc2 40.f3 [40.Nf3 ist weniger überzeugend, denn nach 40...f6 41.Qd6 Kh6 (Kasparow empfiehlt
41...Qg4? , dies scheitert jedoch einfach an 42.Qxf6) 42.Rb8 (42.Qf8? Qf4+ , und Weiß wird matt)
42...Qg4 43.Rh8+ Bh7 , und es geht nicht weiter für Weiß.]
40...Rd2 41.Nd7! [Der Beginn der genau berechneten Schlusskombination.]
[41.Rb4? f6 (Kasparow) ist zu passiv.]
41...Rxd4 42.Nf8+ Kh6 [Die 8. Reihe ist dem König wegen 43.b8 verwehrt, aber nun muss die
schwarze Dame das Feld g5 bewachen.]
43.Rb4! [Nach dem Abtausch der Türme sind die restlichen schwarzen Figuren mit der Verteidigung des
eingeklemmten Königs überfordert.]
43...Rc4 [Kasparows Analysen weisen auch nach anderen Zügen einen Gewinn nach:]
[43...Rxb4 44.axb4 d4 45.b5 d3 46.b6 d2 47.b7 d1Q 48.b8Q Qc1 49.Nxg6 Qxg6 50.Qh8+ Qh7
51.Qgxg7#; 43...Rd1 44.Rb8 Bh7 45.Qg5+ Qxg5 46.hxg5+ Kxg5 47.Nxh7++–; 43...Rd3 44.a4 (besser als
44.Rb8 Bh7 45.Qg5+ Qxg5 46.hxg5+ Kxg5 47.Nxh7+ Kh6 48.Nf8 Rxa3) 44...Re3 45.Rb8 Bh7 46.Qg5+
Qxg5 47.hxg5+ Kxg5 48.Nxh7++–]
44.Rxc4 dxc4 45.Qd6! c3 [Der einzige Zug, um ein sofortiges Matt auf der Diagonalen c1–h6
abbzuwenden.]
46.Qd4 [Schwarz gab auf.]
[Einige Varianten Kasparows rechtfertigen diese Entscheidung: 46.Qd4 Bh7 47.Qxc3 Bg8 (47...g5 48.Qe3
f6 49.hxg5+ fxg5 50.Nxh7 Kxh7 51.Qe4+–) 48.Qe3+ g5 49.Qxg5+ Qxg5 50.hxg5+ Kxg5 51.a4 f5 52.a5
Bc4 53.Nd7 Kf4 54.Nc5 Ke5 55.a6 Kd6 56.a7 Bd5 57.Nd3 Kc7 58.Nf4+– , und Schwarz verliert seine
beiden Bauern.]

[Lutz,C]
[Kasparow und Karpow saßen sich bereits in mehr als 150 Partien am Schachbrett gegenüber. Kasparow
war in der Regel derjenige, der mit weit ausanalysierten Eröffnungen und taktischen Schlägen aufwartete,
während Karpow sich durch strategische Übersicht, große Geduld und eine umsichtige Verteidigung
auszeichnete. In der nachfolgenden Partie sind jedoch die Rollen vertauscht. Kasparow baut sich ganz
ruhig auf und sammelt ganz allmählich kleine Vorteile an. Karpow kommt mit den strategischen
Gegebenheiten der Stellung nicht zurecht und muss schließlich eine verdiente Niederlage hinnehmen.Ich
stütze mich auf die Kommentare von Iossif Dorfman im Informator 44/40.]
1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3 c5 [Das Bauerndreieck c5–d6–e5 findet sich selten in Karpows Partien als Antwort
auf die Englische Eröffnung. Die Vor- und Nachteile dieser Aufstellung sind deutlich: einerseits wird die
Kontrolle über d4 verbessert, andererseits die Kontrolle über d5 aufgegeben.]
4.Bg2 Nc6 5.a3! [Weiß nutzt seinen kleinen Entwicklungsvorsprung, um sofort die Initiative am
Damenflügel zu ergreifen.]
5...g6 [Dorfman schlägt 5...a5!? vor, um b2–b4 zu verhindern.]
6.b4 Bg7 [Es ist nicht möglich, den Bauern zu nehmen: 6...cxb4 7.axb4 Nxb4 8.Qa4+ Nc6 9.Bxc6+ bxc6
10.Qxc6+ Bd7 11.Qb7 Rc8 (11...Ne7 12.Rxa7) 12.Rxa7 Rxc4 13.Nf3 (Dorfman). Weiß kann nach 0–0,
a3 und b1 schnell einen unwiderstehlichen Angriff am Damenflügel entfalten.]
7.Rb1 [7.bxc5 dxc5 8.Bxc6+ bxc6 9.Rb1 "nebst d3" (Dorfman). Als Kompensation für den Doppelbauern
hat Schwarz das Läuferpaar]
7...Nge7 8.e3 0–0 9.d3 Rb8 10.Nge2 Be6 11.b5 Na5 ["Springer am Rand bringt Kummer und Schand' ..."
werden sich die beiden Kontrahenten wohl gedacht haben. In der Tat, der a5 ist für den Rest der Partie
zum untätigen Zuschauen verurteilt und wird letztlich der Grund für Karpows Niederlage sein.]
12.Bd2 b6 [12...d5 13.cxd5 Nxd5 14.Nxd5 Bxd5 15.Bxd5 Qxd5 16.0–0 b6 17.Bxa5 bxa5 18.Nc3
(Dorfman). Schwarz hat keine Kompensation für die Bauernschwächen.]
13.0–0 Nb7 [Bereitet ...d6–d5 vor, da nun der Springer nicht mehr angegriffen ist.]
14.e4 Kh8?! [Wie gleich deutlich wird, sollte Schwarz dem d2 das Feld g5 verwehren.]
[Dazu bot sich 14...h6 "mit der Idee ... f7–f5" (Dorfman) an.]
15.Qc1 [Jetzt ist ...h7–h6 erst einmal erschwert.]
15...f5 16.Bg5! [Gemäß der Terminologie von Steve Mayer, Autor des Buches "Knight v Bishop : The
Verdict", ist der g5 ein Läufer, der die Felderfarbe wechselt. Gemeint ist, dass sich der schwarzfeldrige
Läufer gegen einen Springer tauscht, um die Kontrolle über die weißen Felder zu erhöhen. Dieses
Phänomen trifft man häufig in der Englischen Eröffnung an. In der Partie dient der folgende Abtausch
Kasparow dazu, eine feste Kontrolle über die Felder d5 und e4 zu errichten.]
16...Qe8 [Karpow konnte den Abtausch von Läufer gegen Springer verhindern, aber dann wäre er vom
Regen in die Traufe gekommen: 16...Bf6 17.Bxf6+ Rxf6 18.f4 nebst b2, und Schwarz hat Probleme
entlang der Diagonalen a1–h8. Besonders der e5 neigt zur Schwäche.]
17.Bxe7! Qxe7 18.exf5 Bxf5?! [Schwarz gibt die Kontrolle über e4 völlig auf und lässt seinem Gegner
freie Hand.]
[Die Alternative 18...gxf5 19.f4 ist jedoch auch besser für Weiß. Der Anziehende wird c2, f2, af1
und h3 spielen, um den f5 unter Druck zu setzen. Schwarz bleibt in der Verteidigung.]
19.Nd5 Qd7 20.Qd2 Na5?! [Im weiteren Verlauf lässt Karpow seinen Springer zwischen a5 und b7 hin-
und herpendeln. Angersichts der schwarzen Passivität kann Kasparow in aller Ruhe seine Figuren am
Königsflügel konzentrieren und sein Figurenübergewicht dort verwerten.]
[Von Dorfman wird 20...Nd8 vorgeschlagen, z.B. 21.a4 Nf7 22.a5 (22.h4 Bh6 23.Qc3 g5!? 24.h5 g4)
22...Bh6 "nebst ...g5–h3" (Dorfman). Obwohl Weiß dann ein Druckspiel entlang der a-Linie entfalten
kann, behält Schwarz Gegenspiel.]
21.Nec3 Rbe8 22.Ne4 Nb7 23.a4 Na5 24.h4 [Kasparow verbessert schrittweise seine Stellung.]
24...Nb7 25.Kh2 Rb8 26.Ra1 Na5 27.Ra3! [Weiß verhindert ...b3–d4.]
27...Rf7 28.Qc3 Rd8 29.Ra2 Bh6 30.Ng5 Rff8 31.Re2 Bg7 32.Qc2 Rde8 33.Ne3! [Weiß kann die Felder
d5 und e4 als Rangierstationen für seine Leichtfiguren benutzen.]
33...Bh6 34.Bd5 Bg7 [34...Bxg5 35.hxg5 "nebst f2–f4" (Dorfman) würde die Schwäche der Diagonale
a1–h8 ausnutzen.]
35.Qd1 h6 [Schwarz verliert die Geduld und schwächt seinen Königsflügel. Aber andererseits drohte
Weiß a2 nebst g3–g4.]
36.Ne4 Qd8 37.Ra2 Bc8 38.Nc3! [Geduldig verbessert Kasparow seine Figurenstellung, bis alle optimal
stehen.]
38...h5 39.Be4 Re6 40.Ncd5 Bh6 41.Ng2 Kg7?! [Ermöglicht den folgenden Durchbruch.]
[41...Bb7 ist zäher. Zumindest kann Weiß noch nicht direkt gewinnen, denn 42.f4?! Bxd5 43.Bxd5 Ref6
gibt Schwarz gutes Gegenspiel]
42.f4!+– [Der entscheidende Schlag. Der a5 steht einfach zu weit weg vom Spielgeschehen.]
42...exf4 [42...Ree8 43.Raf2 "nebst f4–f5" (Dorfman)]
43.Ngxf4 Re5 44.Nxg6! [Eine Kombination zum Abschluss.]
44...Rxf1 45.Qxf1 Rxe4 46.dxe4 Kxg6 47.Rf2 Qe8 [47...Bg7 48.Rf7 "mit den Ideen e7+ und e4–e5"
(Dorfman) ist ebenfalls vernichtend]
48.e5! [Nimmt der schwarzen Dame das Feld e5.]
[48.Rf6+ Kg7 49.Rxd6 Qe5 wäre etwas komplizierter, wenngleich auch dann Weiß gewinnen sollte.]
48...dxe5 [48...Qxe5 49.Re2+– und e7+]
49.Rf6+ Kg7 50.Rd6 [Schwarz verliert mindestens einen seiner Läufer.]

[Lutz,C]
[Der 5.WM-Kampf zwischen Karpov und Kasparov in Lyon und New York 1990 war der letzte zwischen
den beiden Dauerrivalen. Kasparov gewann, aber sein Sieg war nicht so klar, wie allgemein erwartet
wurde. Durch den Sieg in der nachfolgenden Partie konnte Kasparov im Match einen Vorsprung von zwei
Siegen herausarbeiten. Kasparov verlor zwar noch die vorletzte Partie, dennoch reichte es zu einem
knappen 12½:11½–Sieg.Bei meinen Analysen stütze ich mich auf die Kommentare von Kasparov im
Informator 50/392.]
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0–0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0–0 9.h3 Bb7 10.d4 Re8 [Die
Zaitsev-Variante war eines der großen Themen in den Wettkämpfen zwischen Karpov und Kasparov.]
11.Nbd2 Bf8 12.a4 h6 13.Bc2 [Die weiße Idee besteht darin, mittels d4–d5 und b2–b3, c3–c4 einen
Bauernkeil zu etablieren. Schwarz hätte dann permanent mit Raumnachteil zu kämpfen. Daher löst
Schwarz nun die Zentrumsspannung auf.]
13...exd4 14.cxd4 Nb4 15.Bb1 c5 16.d5 [Wir haben nun eine Bauernstruktur erreicht, die auch aus dem
Modernen Benoni bekannt ist. Schwarz hat ...b5 erreicht, aber seine Leichtfiguren (insbesondere seine
Läufer) stehen ungewöhnlich. Um nicht strategisch ins Hintertreffen zu geraten, muss er schnell ein
Gegenspiel aufziehen.]
16...Nd7 17.Ra3 f5 [Dieser Zug führt zu extrem scharfen Stellungen, in denen Weiß ein Übergewicht am
Königsflügel und Schwarz ein Übergewicht am Damenflügel erhält. Insgesamt stand diese Variante
viermal zwischen Kasparov und Karpov auf dem Brett, dreimal währendes des WM-Kampfes in Lyon/New
York und einmal in Amsterdam 1991. Kasparov gewann die vorliegende Partie, die anderen
Begegnungen endeten nach dramatischen Kampf mit einem Unentschieden.]
[17...c4 ist die Hauptalternative hier. Schwarz will (ggf. unter Bauernopfer) seinen Springer nach d3
stellen. Allerdings steht Weiß auch hier besser.]
18.Rae3 [Weiß bringt den Turm ins Spiel.]
[18.exf5 ist eine der wesentlichen Alternativen hier. Gewöhnlich fährt Weiß besser, wenn er den
Schwarzen auf e4 schlagen läßt anstatt selbst auf f5 zu schlagen. 18...Bxd5 (18...Nf6 19.Ne4 Bxd5
20.Nxf6+ Qxf6 21.Bd2 Qxb2 22.Bxb4 Bf7 und einer unklaren Stellung in G.Kasparov-A.Karpov (4.WM-
Partie Lyon/New York 1990)) 19.Ne4 Bf7 20.axb5 d5 21.Nc3 Rxe1+ 22.Nxe1 d4 23.Na2 Nxa2 24.Bxa2 c4
25.Rxa6 Nc5! 26.Rxa8 Qxa8 und in G.Kasparov-A.Karpov (22.WM-Partie Lyon/New York 1990) hatte
Schwarz die Initiative übernommen.; 18.Nh2 ist ebenfalls populär.]
18...Nf6 [18...f4!? wurde von Karpov in einer früheren Partie gespielt: 19.R3e2 Ne5 20.Nf1 Nxf3+ 21.gxf3
Qh4 22.Nh2 Re5 23.Qd2! Qxh3 24.Qxf4 bxa4 25.Qg4 Qxg4+ 26.Nxg4 Ree8 27.f4 a5 28.f3 Ba6 29.Rg2= ,
J.Timman-A.Karpov (Kandidatenfinale Kuala Lumpur 1990). Kasparov wird sich diese Partie aber
sicherlich gründlich angeschaut haben, deswegen spielte Karpov nun etwas anderes.]
19.Nh2 Kh8 [Schwarz will den König etwas besser stellen, aber wie der nächste weiße Zug zeigt, ist der
schwarze König auch in der Ecke nicht sicher vor den weißen Figuren.]
[19...fxe4?! 20.Nxe4 Nbxd5 21.Nxf6+ Nxf6 22.Rxe8 Nxe8 23.Qd3 Nf6 24.Ng4 (Kasparov) würde die
Schleusen für das weiße Spiel öffnen.; 19...c4!? (Kasparov); 19...Qd7!? war Kasparovs Anregung im
Informator. Dieser Zug wurde dann auch tatsächlich später von Karpov angewandt: 20.exf5 Rxe3 21.fxe3
Bxd5 22.Ng4 Be7! 23.e4 Bf7 24.Nf3 Rd8 25.Qe2 Bc4! und Schwarz hatte schon die Initiative
übernommen in G.Kasparov-A.Karpov (Amsterdam 1991)]
20.b3! [Ein vielseitiger Zug: ...c5–c4 wird gestoppt und der c1 kann auf die Diagonale a1–h8 gebracht
werden]
20...bxa4 21.bxa4 c4! [Dieses Bäuerlein macht einen recht einsamen Eindruck, doch der Schein trügt:
der b4 soll nach d3 springen und so die weißen Bauern auf e4 und d5 unterminieren helfen. Einige
Züge später "vergißt" Karpov jedoch die Idee ...d3.]
22.Bb2 fxe4 23.Nxe4 Nfxd5 24.Rg3 Re6 25.Ng4 [Wirklich jede weiße Figur ist auf den schwarzen König
gerichtet.]
25...Qe8? [Der entscheidende Fehler, da nun das Ungewitter über den schwarzen König hereinbricht.]
[25...Nd3! 26.Bxd3 cxd3 27.Rxd3 Qa5 wird von Kasparov empfohlen. Unter Rückgabe des Mehrbauern
wird der (für die Verteidigung des Königsflügels) unwichtige b4 gegen den gefährlichen b1
abgetauscht.]
26.Nxh6! c3 [Nach 26...Rxh6 27.Nxd6 gibt Kasparov einige durchschlagende Varianten an: 27...Qd7
(27...Qxe1+ 28.Qxe1 Rxd6 29.Qe4 Nd3 30.Qh4+ Kg8 31.Bxg7! Bxg7 32.Qg4+–; 27...Qh5 28.Rg5! Dies
schwarze Dame muss jetzt die Kontrolle über f7 aufgeben. 28...Qxd1 29.Nf7+ Kg8 30.Nxh6+ Kh8
31.Rxd1 c3 32.Nf7+ Kg8 33.Bg6 cxb2 34.Rh5+–) 28.Qg4! Qxg4 29.Nf7+ Kg8 30.Nxh6+ gxh6 31.Rxg4+
Kf7 32.Bg6+ Kg8 33.Bf5+ Kf7 34.Be6+ und Weiß verbleibt mit einem Mehrturm.]
27.Nf5 cxb2 28.Qg4 Bc8 [28...Nc3 29.Nf6! Rxe1+ 30.Kh2+– (Kasparov); 28...g6 29.Kh2! Qd7 30.Nh4
Bc8 31.Nxg6+ Rxg6 32.Qxg6+– (Kasparov)]
29.Qh4+ Rh6 [29...Kg8 30.Kh2! nebst g5 (Kasparov)]
30.Nxh6 gxh6 31.Kh2!+– [Ein kleiner, aber feiner Zug, der schon in einigen Varianten vorher auftauchte.
Der weiße Angriff darf nicht durch den eigenen König behindert werden. Der e4 kann nun abziehen,
ohne dass der e1 mit Schach geschlagen wird.Man beachte, dass in der 16.WM-Partie des 3.WM-
Kampfes (London/Leningrad 1986) zwischen den beiden Spielern Kasparov ebenfalls den Zug 31.Kh2!
spielte und im Angriff gewann. Ob diese Parallele Kasparov nun in dieser Partie bewußt war ?]
31...Qe5 [31...Bg7 32.Nxd6 Qxe1 33.Qxh6+! Bxh6 34.Nf7# (Kasparov)]
32.Ng5! Qf6 [32...Qxe1 33.Nf7#]
33.Re8 Bf5 34.Qxh6+!? [Kein schlechter Zug, denn nun entwirrt sich die Stellung mit Schachgeboten.
Wäre Kasparov in weniger großer Zeitnot gewesen, hätte er sicherlich das Matt in sechs Zügen
gefunden.]
[34.Nf7+! Qxf7 (34...Kh7 35.Qxf6 Nxf6 36.Bxf5#) 35.Qxh6+ Bh7 (35...Qh7 36.Qxf8+ Qg8 37.Qxg8#)
36.Rxa8 Nf6 37.Rxf8+ Qxf8 38.Qxf8+ Ng8 39.Qg7#]
34...Qxh6 35.Nf7+ Kh7 36.Bxf5+ Qg6 37.Bxg6+ [37.Rxg6!?+– ist auch nicht von schlechten Eltern.]
37...Kg7 38.Rxa8 Be7 39.Rb8 a5 40.Be4+ Kxf7 41.Bxd5+ [Nach Beendigung der Zeitnot sah Karpov zu
Recht keinen Grund mehr, die Partie fortzusetzen.]

[Mit dem Sieg in dieser 8. Matchpartie im Semifinale der FIDE-Weltmeisterschaft geht Short erneut in
Führung und gewinnt dann 5:3. Dass Karpov trotz des Matchverlustes noch in den Wettbewerb zurück
kommt und mit Siegen gegen Timman (1993), Kamsky (1996) und einen gehandicapten Anand (1998)
den Weltmeistertitel der FIDE für weitere 6 Jahre halten kann, gehört zu den seltsamsten, aber wenig so
betrachteten Fügungen des Schachs der 90er Jahre.]

Linares 11th Linares (10), 02.1993
[Knaak,R]
[Kasparov gewann die inoffizielle Turnierweltmeisterschaft in Linares 1993 genauso souverän wie im Jahr
zuvor.Die Partie der Rivalen Kasparov und Karpov geht als 162. in die Statistik ein (von nun 165
insgesamt) und zeichnet sich durch zwei Besonderheiten aus:a) Karpov verliert so katastrophal wie selten
zuvor und das auch noch mit den weißen Steinen.b) es gibt einen kleinen Zwischenfall - siehe
Kommentar beim 24. Zug von Schwarz.]
1.d4 [Anand,V]
1...Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 0–0 6.Be3 e5 7.Nge2 [Karpov weicht der Hauptvariante 7.d5
aus.]
7...c6 8.Qd2 Nbd7 9.Rd1 [Und damit verläßt der Exweltmeister endgültig die Theoriepfade. Gut bearaten
war er damit wohl nicht. In der Vergangenheit hatte Kasparov einige Male Probleme in den
Hauptvarianten des Sämisch-Systems gehabt.]
9...a6! [Kasparov hatte hier seinen 14. Zug schon im Auge.]
10.dxe5?! [Natürlich wäre der Turmzug im Falle von 10.d5 sinnlos gewesen, doch die Bauernstruktur zu
schließen war wohl das kleinere Übel.]
10...Nxe5! [Karpov hatte wohl auf 10...dxe5 gehofft, wonach Weiß einen kleinen aber dauerhaften Vorteil
besitzt.]
11.b3 b5! [Kasparov setzt voll auf seinen Entwicklungsvorsprung.]
12.cxb5 axb5 13.Qxd6 Nfd7 14.f4? [Mit der Idee ... 14...g4 15.d4]
[14.Qd2 kam in Frage.]
14...b4!! [Anand,V: 'When playing dxe5? it was rumoured that Karpov missed this. Kasparov was more to
the point: "Did he expect me to resign?"' Notwendig und sehr stark.]
15.Nb1? [Die taktische Begründung lautet: 15.Qxb4? c5 16.Bxc5 Nxc5!! und auch dies hatte Kasparov
bei 9...a6 wohl schon sehen müssen. 17.Qxc5 (Nach 17.Rxd8 Ned3+ 18.Kd1 Nxb4 hat Schwarz eine
Figur gewonnen.)) 17...Nd3+ 18.Rxd3 Qxd3 Hat zwar Weiß 3 Bauern für die Qualität, aber bei der dann
geöffneten Stellung wirkt sich die Unterentwicklung verheerend aus.); 15.fxe5 bxc3 16.Nxc3 sieht
Kasparov als beste Verteidigungschance an.]
15...Ng4 16.Bd4 [16.Bg1 (Anand,V) was tried in the post mortem but Black's advantage in development
was too great 16...Rxa2 17.h3 Qh4+ 18.g3 Rxe2+ 19.Kxe2 Qxg3 20.hxg4 Nf6 There were many more
of these variations but it's obvious that White is lost.]
16...Bxd4 17.Qxd4 Rxa2 [Schwarz hat den Bauern zurück und Weiß in der Entwicklung noch keine
Fortschritte gemacht.]
18.h3 c5 19.Qg1 [Anand,V: 'I rest my case!']
19...Ngf6 20.e5 Ne4 21.h4 [Es drohte 21...Dh4+.]
[21.Qe3 Bb7 22.Nd2 Nxd2 23.Rxd2 Rxd2 24.Qxd2 Nb6 25.Qxd8 Rxd8 26.Nc1 Nd5 27.Nd3 Ne3–+
(Kasparov)]
21...c4! 22.Nc1 [Man kann es kaum glauben: Karpov hat seine sämtlichen Figuren auf der Grundlinie
versammelt.]
22...c3! [Anand,V: 'Kasparov likes to finish with a flourish but 22...b2 is my humble contribution'
Kasparov setzt jetzt auf Schönheitspreis.]
23.Nxa2 c2 24.Qd4 cxd1Q+ [Hier ließ Kasparov in Ermangelung einer zweiten Dame den Bauern auf d1
stehen und sagte "Queen", was den Regeln widerspricht. Der Schiedsrichter brachte eine weiße Dame,
und Karpov ließ sich 25.xe4 als Antwort einfallen - in der Annahme auf d1 könne ein Springer
stehen.Am Ende erhielt Karpov, der sich in hochgradiger Zeitnot befand, einen 2–Minuten-Bonus.]
25.Kxd1 [Anand,V: 'Kasparov left a pawn on d1 and Karpov played xe4!! here. After a brief show for the
spectators (in English !) the game resumed.']
25...Ndc5! [Anand,V: 'xe5 also wins but this finishes the job' Jetzt ist auch der Damentausch keine
Erleichterung für Weiß.]
26.Qxd8 Rxd8+ 27.Kc2 Nf2 [Anand,V: '' Karpov überschritt in hoffnungsloser Lage die Zeit. Ein
mögliches Ende wäre]

doch ein. New York 1924, da hat der von Capablanca drei Jahre zuvor besiegte Lasker plötzlich mit 16
aus 20 der Schachwelt noch einmal gezeigt, was für ein Riese er ist.]

Nh5 11.e3! [Ein bemerkenswerter Zug. Weiß läßt sich einen Doppelbauern machen und verzichtet zudem
auf das Läuferpaar. Das basiert aber auf einer sehr tiefgründigen Einschätzung der Stellung: Das
schwarze Läuferpaar ist hinter den eigenen Bauern eingesperrt, der auf f4 entstehende Bauer ist schnell
zu f5 bereit und außerdem wird die e-Linie geöffnet.]

Buenos Aires with it's main proponents being Karpov and Salov though both eventually shifted to the
Rauser. Karpov liked the Sicilian Rauser so much that he played it regularly in a tournament in Cap
d'Agde.]
9.Na4 d5 [During the game my first reaction was "How come no one thought of this before?" Karpov may
or may not have prepared this at home but he was nevertheless not very satisfied since he hesistated a
lot before playing]

all the trumps.]

sides playing with the isolani had their own achievements and losses. As usual we start with the games in
which the isolani proved its dynamic strength. Our first few games illustrate the power of the thematic d4–
d5 thrust.]

have a greater chance of breaking down the fortress if he keeps his rook on the board. I think that 28 Rf1
would have done just as well, but moving the rook to the d, c, or b- files would have given Black the
chance to offer an exchange of rooks again.]

whole army. Compare this position with the one where he played 11... Kd8; it is hard to imagine that he

[The previous day, I had lost to Kramnik without so much as a struggle and had spent the previous
evening disgusted with my play. There was no way I could be bothered playing some boring Caro-Kann
and trying to deal with some improvement on move 45 leading to a difficult ending etc. I felt that it would
be better to go down in style than to do something like that. Now, how does a move like 1.f3 allow me to
get interesting positions?? Well, to be honest, 1.f3 can lead to positions even more boring than after
1.e4 c6, but at least they would be NEW boring positions!! The previous day, I had lost to Kramnik without

verbracht, mich von meinem Spiel anwidern zu lassen. Auf keinen Fall wollte ich mich auf irgendeine
langweilige Caro-Kann-Variante einlassen, um zu versuchen, mit irgendeiner Verbesserung im 45. Zug
fertig zu werden, die zu einem schwierigen Endspiel führt usw. Ich fand, es wäre besser, stilvol
unterzugehen, als so etwas zu tun. Nun, und wie erlaubt mir ein Zug wie 1.f3, interessante Stellungen
zu bekommen?? Also, um ehrlich zu sein, 1.f3 kann zu sogar noch langweiligeren Stellungen führen als
1.e4 c6, aber wenigstens würden es NEUE langweilige Stellungen sein!!]

The point. White can swing his  over to d3 now. I considered moves like 17.d3, but I realized that this
was the strongest move - the bishop has no more work on f3. Die Pointe. Weiß kann nun seinen Läufer
nach d3 überführen. Ich erwog auch Züge wie 17.d3, aber ich begriff, dass dieser Zug am stärksten
war - der Läufer hat auf f3 nichts mehr zu tun. ]

18.Rxb5 Qc7 19.Bf4 Bd6 20.Bd3 Ba6 [Here, I spent a few seconds checking 21.xd5 which leaves
White with an extra pawn, but as I mentioned earlier I couldn't be bothered. I saw xh7+ and didn't waste
any more time on xd5. I then spent some time analysing xh7+, and didn't see a defence for Black. I
then realized that I was too excited to analsye and decided to get it over with. He had hardly any time left
already and I was sure that he wouldn't find a defence.Baburin: In this position which is clearly superior
for him, White does not settle for a pawn after 21 Rxd5, but instead launches a devastating blow:Ftacniik:
Annad unleashed a spectacular attack with bishop sacrifice. An dieser Stelle prüfte ich ein paar Sekunden
lang 21.xd5, wonach Weiß mit einem Mehrbauern verbleibt, aber wie bereits erwähnt, hatte ich daran
kein Interesse. Ich sah xh7+ und verschwendete keine Zeit mehr mit xd5. Ich analysierte xh7+ eine
Zeit lang und sah keine Verteidigung für Schwarz. Dann wurde mir klar, dass ich zum Rechnen zu
aufgeregt war und beschloss, es hinter mich zu bringen. Er hatte bereits kaum noch Bedenkzeit und ich
war sicher, dass er keine Verteidigung finden würde. Anand beginnt einen spektakulären Angriff mit einem
Läuferopfer.]
21.Bxh7+! [In the press centre they expected 21.xd5, but my close friend Mauricio Perea knew
immediately that I would play 21.xh7+! and he tried to work out all the details.Kramnik: Brilliant
sacrifice, which was underestimated by Karpov. Brilliant sacrifice, which was underestimated by
Karpov.Petursson: This is the most amazing sacrifice in the CBM 57. Specially, considering who is playing
Black. Im Pressezentrum erwartete man 21.xd5, aber mein enger Freund Mauricio Perea wusste sofort,
dass ich 21.xh7+! spielen würde, und versuchte, alle Details auszuarbeiten.]
[21.Rxd5 Nc6]
21...Kxh7 22.Qh5+ Kg8 23.Rb3 [Baburin: This is the point - White shifts the rook to the h-file. Baburin:
Das ist die Pointe - Weiß schwenkt mit seinem Turm auf die h-Linie.]
23...Bxe5? [This loses trivially. During the game I was worried about 23...c8 more than 23...f6, but later
analysis suggests that the latter was the best move. The only move. The only move. The desire to get rid
of the annoying e5–knight is very understandable but here Black misses a chance to put up more
resistance. After this it seems clear that Black is lost. But a defense is hard to find. Dies verliert trivial.
Während der Partie machte ich mir mehr Sorgen wegen 23...c8 als wegen 23...f6, aber die spätere
Analyse ergab, das letzteres der bessere Zug war - und der einzige. Der Wunsch, den lästigen Springer
e5 zu eliminieren, ist sehr verständlich, aber hier verpasst Schwarz eine Möglichkeit, härteren Widerstand
zu leisten. ]

Bc4 And here, both 31.h4 and h1 are dangerous. Still, over the board, to find your way through the
complications with limited time isn't the easiest task and Karpov didn't manage this time. Und her sind
sowohl 31.h4 als auch h1 gefährlich. Dennoch, sich bei begrenzter Bedenkzeit in den Komplikationen
zurecht zu finden, ist nicht die allerleichteste Aufgabe, und diesmal schaffte es Karpov nicht.; 23...Bc8?! I
hadn't analysed this move well. Later I asked Karpov what he saw against it and he said that he assumed
24.g3 won. I showed him 24...e7 and we thought that this would have saved Black. Later Dzindzi
(according to my second, Ubilava) found the way for White. Diesen Zug hatte ich nicht tief analysiert.
Hinterher fragte ich Karpov, was er dagegen gesehen hatte, und er sagte, er vermutete, dass 24.g3
gewinnen würde. Ich zeigte ihm 24...e7, und wir dachten, dass dies Schwarz gerettet hätte. Später
entdeckte Dzindzi (laut meinem Sekundanten Ubilava) für Weiß den Weg zum Sieg. 24.Rg3

[Lautier,J]
[Preparing for Anatoly Karpov, especially with the white pieces, is not too difficult a task, his opening
repertoire being relatively restricted and immutable for about ten years now. The nonchalance with which
he seems to play, for the first twenty moves of the game, the role of the almost immobile target before
artfully repulsing the enemy assaults somewhat reminds me of the bull-fighter. As I was smelling blood
that day, I was all set to gore my opponent before the ending.]
1.e4 c6 [The theme of my theoretical discussions with Karpov has successively touched upon the English
Opening, the classical Nimzo, the Catalan Opening, the Petrosian variation of the Queen's Indian, and
now, the Caro-Kann. A varied diet is good for one's appetite of knowledge, but that was not the only
reason of my choice: Karpov's recent games have witnessed an undeniable fragility in that opening.]
2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 [No Advance Variation this time, as I had tried earlier in Monaco this year. I had a few
ideas in what has become the main line of Karpov's fetish system.]
3...dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7 5.Ng5 Ngf6 6.Bd3 e6 7.N1f3 Bd6 8.Qe2 h6 9.Ne4 Nxe4 10.Qxe4 c5 [There we
are. This move has replaced 10...f6 followed by 11...c7 and ...b6, ...b7 in Karpov's weaponry since
the beginning of this year. It has allowed my opponent to hold out against Topalov in Dos Hermanas and
against Ivanchuk in Dortmund, roughly two weeks before our game. I was particularly curious to find out
what improvement Black would have in store over that last game, as Karpov owed his survival only to
Ivanchuk's inaccuracy.]
11.0–0 Nf6 12.Qh4 cxd4 [After a short think, Karpov does not repeat his game with Ivanchuk which
continued by 12...c7. The text move was not a surprise though, and I replied quickly.]
13.Re1! [Black's chronic disease in this line is that the king's usual shelter, the short castle, is impossible
due to an immediate onslaught on the kingside. In this position, 13...0–0? would be punished in
elementary fashion by the thematic sacrifice 14.xh6! and the reader will have no trouble convincing
himself that Black is defenceless. For that reason, it is important not to take back on d4 at this moment,
for it would deviate either the queen or the knight from its attacking post and would permit the short
castle. The text is the most natural strenghtening of White's position, and in the meantime, Black should
develop his queenside in order to provide a haven for his king by long castling. It should be noted that in
the race characteristic of opposite castling, Black is by no means at a disadvantage, since White's queen,
which is aggressively placed on h4 in the event of short castling by Black, would then soon be harassed
by black pawns on the kingside with ...g5, ...h5, etc. White's strategy is therefore clearly defined: he must
use his lead in development to dissuade Black from castling long.]
13...Bd7 14.Nxd4 [I used about twenty minutes over that important decision. The options were 14.d2 or
even 14.g5, both of which I had incidentally given more attention to during my preparation. The text
seemed at first to ease Black's task, as he disposes of 14...a5 gaining a tempo on the e1, followed by
long castling. However, a deeper evaluation convinced me that after 15.e3 0–0–0?, White would obtain
a clear edge by means of 16.b3, as Black's queen has to give up the defence of the a7–pawn. It is
legitimate to wonder if Black could then use the removal of white's knight to castle on the kingside, but a
brief analysis before the game had been enough to demonstrate that White's attack after 14...0–0
15.xh6! would still be unstoppable, mainly due to the arrival of the white rook along the third rank.]
14...Qa5 15.Be3 Kf8?! [After a prolonged reflection, Karpov could not come up with anything better than
what I believe Kortchnoi would call a 'half-move'. Speaking of the moves ...f8 and ...e7 in the Caro-
Kann, we would be justified in appending the registered trademark symbol to them, as they are truly
Karpov's patent. The classic model that springs to mind is the game Kamsky-Karpov from Dortmund
1993, and the fact is, I can't remember a game of Karpov castling either side in that variation of the Caro
from the twenty odd games of his that I've seen. Here, in any event, this move is no miracle, since it is
purely defensive and does nothing to improve Black's position. It still manages to contain a little trap:
16...g5 17.h3 e5 18.f5 e4 would win a piece on any careless move by White.]
[15...0–0–0? 16.Nb3 Qc7 17.Bxa7 g5 18.Qh3 e5 19.Qf3 (19.Bf5 allows 19...b6) 19...e4 20.Qxf6 exd3
21.cxd3 Bxh2+ 22.Kh1+– with an easy win; 15...g5?! prepares the long castle, but against precise play,
Black should not solve his problems. 16.Qh3 0–0–0 17.Nb3 (17.Qf3 leaves Black too much counterplay
for the pawn after 17...Qe5 18.g3 Nd5 19.Qxf7 Nxe3 20.fxe3 h5) 17...Qa4 18.Bd4 e5 19.Qf3 exd4
(19...Ng4 20.Bc5) 20.Qxf6 Bc6 (20...Be6 21.Bf5) 21.Qxf7 and compensation is inadequate; 15...Qh5
was certainly the lesser evil in an inferior position. The ending after 16.Qxh5 Nxh5 17.Nf5 does not
precisely look engaging, but it seems White has no devastating blow at his command 17...Bf8 (17...exf5?
18.Bc5+) 18.Rad1 Nf6 is more solid (18...0–0–0?! would be risky, as White can transpose to a pleasant
ending after 19.Bxa7 exf5 20.Bb6 Nf6 (20...Bd6? 21.Bxd8 Rxd8 22.Be2+–; 20...g6? 21.Bxd8 Kxd8

21.Bxd6 with a better ending, though the drawing probability is quite high.]
16.Bf4! [A typical instance of an intuitive move that should be played 'with the hands'. There is no need
for a long cogitation here to perceive that the exchange of dark-squared bishops will bring White large
dividends: elimination of an important defender of Black's king, control of the dark squares and notably of
the e5–square, and last but not least, the white queen will acquire total freedom of movement on the

is complete.; 16...e5 Needed to be calculated, as White has a choice between 17.Nb3 I would have opted
for the quiet 17.b3, leading to an ending after (17.Bg5 Nh7! an excellent attempt to muddy the waters

17...Qb4 18.Bg5 Qxh4 19.Bxh4 where White has all the trumps to exploit the clumsy disposition of
Black's forces.]
17.Qxf4 Rc8 [Preparing to retreat the queen on c7. Black is trying to rebuild some coordination between
his pieces, but as long as the rooks can't be properly connected, his army will remain dislocated.]
18.Nf3 [The logical follow-up to the exchange of the dark-squared bishops: occupation of square e5. That
plan was so self-evident that I played it instantly.]
18...Ke7 [The second TM by Karpov & Co is used yet again. Black now has a 'strategic threat' in one
move that can't be allowed: 19...hd8 followed by the unstoppable 20...f8 when White can only beg for
a draw. So...]
19.Qg3 Qb4 [Creating a new 'strategic threat': trading queens by 20...g4 and neutralizing White's
advantage. So...]
[19...Nh5? is refuted by 20.Re5 Nxg3 21.Rxa5+–]
20.Ne5 g5 [Obviously saving the g7–pawn, but I think]
[20...Rhg8 was more reasonable]
21.c4! [Once again, this move was dictated by purely positional considerations: shutting out the fourth
rank deprives Black of any queen-trading ideas, and taking control of the d5–square confines the f6–
knight to total immobility. Calculations were still necessary to make sure that the indirect defence of the
b2–pawn was working properly.]
21...Rhd8?! [This move and the next surprised me quite a bit, since they basically rush Black into defeat.
It is not easy to understand what Karpov might have missed.]
[21...Qxb2 was a better fighting chance, as it would oblige White to show some exact tactics 22.Rab1
Qxa2 (22...Qa3? 23.Nxf7 wins by virtue of the discovered check by g6 winning the Black queen - a
recurrent tactical motif in the game; 22...Qd2? 23.Red1 Qf4 24.Qxf4 gxf4 25.Rxb7 with an easily won
endgame) 23.Rxb7 Rhd8 24.Qh3! with a powerful double attack on h6, and ... (24.Qe3 was my first
intention, but 24...Qa5 25.Rxa7 (25.Nxf7? Kxf7 26.Qxe6+ Kg7 27.Qe7+ Kg8–+ and the e1–rook stays en

e6 and hitting the rook on b7. White nevertheless keeps his attack going by

up in the game) 29.Qg7? by 29...Rxe5! 30.Rxe5 Qd4–+ and Black wins) 28...Be8 (28...Rc5? is here
meaningless 29.Nxf7+–) 29.Qg7 and White's attack triumphs]
22.Qh3 [Giving Black no respite, White rubs it where it hurts]

replied 23.b3 followed by ad1 23.b3]

24...Qxb2 [24...Qc5 allows the tactical spring already mentioned to snap shut on the black queen 25.Qg5

27.Nxd8 [I paused a little before accomplishing this obvious enough reply. Tempted to finish the game
with a good old bloody attack, I almost fell for Black's last trick]
[27.Qh6? seems to force resignation, but the horrifying 27...g3! saves Black ! For instance: 28.hxg3 Ng4
29.Qf4 Nxf2 (29...Rf8? 30.Rxb7 Rxf7 31.Rxd7++–) 30.Qxf2 Qxf2+ 31.Kxf2 Kxf7 32.Rxb7 a5=]

rest needs no particular comment.]

[Anand,V]
[Before this game, I trailed by 2–3 and Karpov only needed a draw to clinch victory. What should I do? I
remembered my previous match against Karpov (Brussels 1991). Trailing by one point after 4 games, I
played calm chess and still got winning positions in both the 5th and 6th games. I also got some hope
from the 24th game between Kasparov and Karpov in Seville 1987 when Karpov was in the same
situation. Kasparov avoided a theoretical battle and got no advantage. Karpov, however, was too eager to
draw and soon got himself into hot water. With these thoughts in mind, I went for game 6.]
1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 [The Trompovsky!! I couldn't really bring myself to play something like Kasparov's Reti, so
this seemed like a good compromise. On the one hand, it offers interesting positions. Since the theory
mostly consists of games of Hodgson, there are no long forced lines leading to draws (yet!), but lots of
fascinating and creative chess. Perfect, I thought, for today's game.]
2...e6 3.e4 h6 4.Bxf6 Qxf6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Qd2 g5 7.Bc4!? [My team was looking for something off the
beaten track, but with some venom. Eventually Yusupov came up with this idea. White is going to castle
kingside. His knight should go to e2 (on f3, it would be harassed by g4) and so the idea arose to develop
the bishop first. The knight also has ideas like e2–g3–h5.]

first provoke weaknesses and only then prepare b2–b4]

[Anand,V]
[After our match in Lausanne, one might assume there was a lot at stake in this game. However, I think
neither player wanted to think about this aspect. I treated this game as any either. In the tournament itself,
I was 2 points ahead of Karpov (I had +3 and he was on –1) at this moment and the game had no
significance for the tournament either.Still the game itself, despite lots of errors was quite interesting.]

Black must change tack. This move takes away the c4 square from White's king.]

example for the so called " attack of the pawns minority": b4,a4,b4–b5. The aim is to trash the

expansion starting g3–g4. The drawback is that after ...c7–c5 black can hope to show that e3 is a
weakness. 11...c5 (11...a5 12.Bd2 Nfe8 13.Qc2 b5 14.Rad1 Ba6 15.Rfe1 Ne6 16.Bc1 Rc8 17.Kh1 b4

gebannten Zuschauern zu erzählen, daß nach Nigel Shorts Meinung Karpov häufig selbst Stellungen aus
eigenen Partien zu vergessen scheint. Er ist deshalb gezwungen, sich in jede Stellung erneut
hineinzufinden - quasi "von Natur aus" einen Zugang zu den Stellungsmustern zu finden. Kasparov ist
diese Tendenz natürlich nicht verborgen geblieben. Sein nachfolgender Zug kam daher a tempo aus das
Brett.']

Nach diesem Zug überlegte Karpov erneut längere Zeit. Derweil konnten sich die Live-Kommentatoren
Daniel King und Eric Lobron in typischer Hort/Pfleger-Manier zu einer Wette hinreißen lassen. Da Anand
am Nachbarbrett in frühem Stadium einer Russischen Partie den Zug g4 gespielt hatte, wurde über einen
analogen Bauernzug auch im Duell der beiden großen Ks spekuliert: "Eric, wenn Karpov nun g4 wagt,
dann spendiere ich Dir ein paar Flaschen Wein." Worauf der deutsche Großmeister sogleich ins Karpov-
Lager umschwenkte: "Also Tolja, Anand hat es auch gespielt." Leider wurde diese tollkühne Forderung
nicht erhört.']

[25...b5 26.Rf1; Ein überraschendes Vorgehen. Beim Fachpublikum neigte man eher zu der Variante:

seinen Kontrahenten mit einem unkonventionellen Zug verblüffen, zumal die Restzeit von 3:34 gegenüber

Dieser Endspieltyp mit dem freien e-Bauern kommt in der Praxis hin und wieder vor. Er bietet zwar für
den Angreifer stets einige praktische Gewinnchancen, die Aussichten für den Verteidiger, remis zu halten,
sind indes auch nicht gerade schlecht. Hier kommt für Schwarz erschwerend die räumliche Enge am
äußersten Königsflügel hinzu.']

9...exd5 [White usualy doesn't get much in this variation and there is a good reason why not: Soon a
typical position with two hanging pawns (c5,d5) will be reached. In this structure white should create
pressure on black's center in order to provoke movement of one of the pawns (preferrably the c
pawn).For this purpose it's much better to have one's knight on c3 instead of d2, since now white's best
plan is to play e4 which will autoamatically create black a defended passed pawn and thus is much less
effective than the plan white has with his knight on c3.]

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 a6 [Wenn Weiß noch nicht Sb1–c3 gespielt hat, scheint mir dieser Zug
nicht so plausiblel zu sein. Schwarz darf nicht ohne weiteres b7–b5 spielen, weil dies das Feld c5
schwächt; Weiß kann mit Sb1–d2–b3 fortfahren. Verderblich ist der Zug für den Schwarzen natürlich
nicht.]

von h7 und f5 wünschenswert; diese Fortsetzung ist nun beinahe stets ausgeschlossen.]

Untersuchzung.]

did have a rest day to adjust. Nonetheless, we made our moves pretty slowly!]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0–0 Nxe4 [(!?!) Throughout his carrier, Karpov has been playing
all kind of closed systems of the Ruy Lopez. He is supposed to know the open variation very well, too, but
mainly from White's point of view, after having faced it repeatedly during his World Championship
matches against Korchnoi from 1978 and 1981. With Black, Karpov only captured on e4 twice, between
the aforementioned matches. Although his overall result was satisfactory, Karpov must have felt that the
opening did not suit his style perfectly. Until now...]

11.Qe2 [Caught by surprise, Judit deviates from the main course of theory, where, she supposed, Karpov
had prepared something.]

c5 15.Nxe6 Qxe6 16.f3 Ng5 17.a4 Rad8 18.axb5 Logical. What else would a4 be good for?! White opens
lines, activates his rook and attempts to become active. Logisch, wozu soll a4 sonst gut sein?! Weiß
macht die Linien auf, aktiviert seinen Turm und versucht aktiv zu werden. 18...axb5 19.Ra7 Rd7 The new
move. It is questionable whether it is an important innovation, more an improvement on the previous
game. Der neue Zug. In wiefern das eine wichtige Neuerung ist, ist fraglich. Das ist eher Verstärkung der
Vorgängerpartie. 20.Rxd7 Qxd7 21.Be3 (Aiming to improve over 21.Kh1 , where the final result of the

35). True, several dozens of games have been played in the meanwhile...]
12.Bxd2 Na5 13.Bc2 Nc4 [Another historical game went 13...c5 14.Qd3 (14.b3 deprives the knight of the
c4–square, but weakens the c3–square prematurely. 14...Nc6 15.Qd3 g6 16.Bh6 Re8 17.Qd2 b4 18.cxb4

Nc6 16.Bg5 Rfe8 17.Rfe1 White is in no hurry to break Black's position, but simply develops and activates
his pieces. 17...Rad8 18.Qe3 Bxg5 19.Nxg5 Bf5 20.e6 fxe6 21.Bxf5 exf5 22.Qxc5 Sokolov,A (2628)-
Predojevic,B (2566)/Turin 2006/CBM 113 (½–½, 27)) 14...g6 15.Bh6 Re8 Now, the simplest and probably
best continuation would have been 16.Rfe1 consolidates the central pawn and continues the development
of the pieces. I believe that in this case White would have maintained an advantage, for instance (16.Qd2
led to incalculable complications after 16...Nc4 17.Qf4 Nxb2 18.Bg5 d4 Tal,M-Kortschnoj,V/Riga
1955/EXT 99 (0–1, 33)) 16...f6 (16...Bf5 solves only part of Black's problems. After 17.Qe2 Bxc2 18.Qxc2
f6 19.Rad1 White's pressure is unpleasant.) 17.Nh4! This is not the start of an atack actually, but a way to

[Ramirez Alvarez,Alejandro]
[The fourth and final game was the only decisive round of the match.]
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.g3 Ba6 5.b3 b5 [5...Bb4+ is the more popular variation, but b5 has never
been truly refuted.]
6.cxb5 Bxb5 7.Bg2 Bb4+ 8.Bd2 a5 9.a3 [A relatively unknown move. The players are on their own now.
White has some pluses, such as his slight development and space advantage, but Black has his own
counterchances: good light square control and a solid pawn structure.]
9...Bxd2+ 10.Qxd2 Bc6 11.0–0 Qc8 12.Qc2 Qb7 13.Nbd2 0–0 14.Rfc1 Ra7 15.Ra2 Bd5 16.Rb2 d6
17.Ne1 Bxg2 18.Nxg2 Nbd7 19.Qc6 [Karpov has played this in the manner for which he was always
known: slow and steady, always improving his positional advantages and step by step drilling his
opponent in.]
19...Rb8 20.Rbc2 h6? [This makes his opponent's task much easier.]
[20...Qxc6 21.Rxc6 Rbb7 favors White, but at least material equality still remains.]
21.Qxc7 Qa6 22.Qc4 Qxc4 23.Rxc4 Nb6 24.Rc6 Ne8 25.e4 [White's positional advantages and extra
pawn give him a decisive advantage. Karpov simply does not forgive such a big lead.]

34.Rxb6 Nxb6 35.Rc6 Nd7 36.Nf3 Nb8 37.Nd4! Kd7 38.Rb6 Nba6 39.f5 [The final breakthrough. Notice
how Karpov never let Timman had the slightest counterplay or the slightest piece activity throughout the
game. The rest is straightforward.]

1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 c6 [(!!) An admirable decision. Karpov has never ever played the Slav in his life, but his
never ceasing passion for chess makes him trying new openings even though nowadays he does not
have too much time to study. When playing the last move, Karpov might not have been aware that his
decision is similar to that of his first historic rival, Kortschnoj. At the age of 70, Viktor Lvovich used the
Slav for almost the first time in his life (exluding a couple of irrelevant old games) to defeat Boris Gelfand
in Biel 2001!]

Following Karpov life was a thrilling experience. I could not refrain from whispering to my son my thoughts
in whispering mode. The playing hall was set up as a big amfitheatre and we had our sits quite far from
the boards, so I guess the slight violation of the rules for spectators did not disturb the players in any way.
Having studied so many of Karpov's games as a teen-ager, I was not surprized that I could guess many of
his moves, but I could not help thinking that Karpov was less sure of himself, since he played very slow
and his moves usually arrived at least one minute after I thought them up. In this moment, though, I could
feel the difference of class between me and my former idol. I told to my son that Black is doing well with
the exception of the fact that his major pieces are not connected properly, but could not come up with a
concrete suggestion. Karpov's next two moves offer a brilliantly simple solution.]
13...0–0 14.Bb2 Ra8 15.a4 b5 [A double edged decision, exposing the b-pawn to later positional piece
sacrifices on b5.]
[15...Qc7 16.b5 e5 was a worthy alternative.]
16.cxb6?! [This frees Black of any worries.]
16...Qxb6 17.Ba3 a5? [Not at all typical for Karpov. In his best days, he would think of completing his
development before making a pawn break. For instance 17...Rfe8 would over-defend the e7–pawn, not
only making ...a6–a5 more viable, but also preparing a possible .. .e7–e5.]
18.b5! [Suddenly, White has strong initiative.]

by means of ...e7–e5.]

16.e4?! [The same type of mistake as 17...a5 from the first game between the same opponents. Karpov
displays premature pawn activity before completing his development, again highly non-typical for him.
Just as in the previous game, a rook move would have been the proper preparing of e2–e4: 16.Rd1!
something which in a better shape he would have played automatically.]

approximate equality.) 25...c1Q 26.Rh3 First I thought White would be winning, until noticing 26...Kg7!
leaving White with just some (but probably not enough) compensation for the exchange after 27.Qh7+ Kf6

29.Qxd1 Rc1 30.Bxb3 Rxd1+ 31.Bxd1 Rd8 [Black's win is a simple matter of technique, but Gledura
kindly offered a draw, which ensured him the qualification to the final. I remember Karpov's explanation of
his draw offer with a pawn up in the 24th and last game of the 1974 Candidates' match against
Kortschnoj. Karpov was leading with 12–11 and a draw was enough to get him the right to challenge
Fischer. He confessed that he had little doubt that he could win the last game without too much trouble,
but felt this would have been a bit unfair, as his opponent had been practically forced to play "va banque"
with the black pieces in order to try equalizing. In the same comment, Karpov also refers to a similar
historic episode from the 1935 Alekhine-Euwe match. Before the 30th and last game, the Dutch
challenger was leading by one point and he told to his opponent that he would agree to a draw in any kind
of position. Which actually happened after Alekhine's unsuccessful atempts to attack left him two pawns
down in the ending...]
