Round 13 [Karjakin]
|
This game was played in the last round. If I wanted to show more or less good result
I had to win it! 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.Qd2 Nbd7 9. | ||
| [10.f4 Is another possible continuation.] | ||
|
10...b5 11.g4
b4 12.Nd5 Bxd5
13.exd5 Nb6 14.Na5 'I
don't like this move very much even thought I played it by my self! But first of all I played it in rapid
against Ponomariov in my memoryable tournament in Tomsk 2006. I can not show dangerous lines in rapid!
And at that moment when I played it this move was a novelty. I managed to get complitely winning position
and some chess players also started to play this move:-).' | ||
|
[in my veuw "old line" 14.Qxb4 should be prefered.] | ||
|
14...Nbxd5 'This is definetely stronger
than 14...Nfd5 wich was played by "pono"' 15.Nc6 Qc7 16.Nxb4 'Oficially this is novelty, but only 1 game was played in this line before.' 16...Nxb4 17.Qxb4 18.g5 '?' | ||
|
[Here white had to play 18.Qb6 with a very unclear game. This was my original idea when I played 14.Na5 against Ponomariov.] | ||
|
18...Rfc8 19.Qa4 '?!'
Dubious move' | ||
|
[19.Qc4 Had to be prefered 19...Qxc4 20.Bxc4 Rxc4 21.gxf6 Bxf6 | ||
| (21...gxf6 22.Rhg1+ Kh8 23.Bh6) | ||
| 22.Rxd6 Kf8 black is slighlity better, but white should be able to hold.] | ||
|
[Did not solve problems 19.Bd3 because of 19...Rab8 20.Qh4 | ||
(20.Qc3 Qxc3 21.bxc3
Nd5 22.Bxh7+ Kxh7
23.Rxd5 Rxc3 ) | ||

20...Rxb2!! Very tipycal idea in this
position. 21.Qc4 | ||

Qxc8 23.gxf6 Bxf6
24.Kxb2 e4+ 25.Kc1
exd3 26.Rxd3
Qf5 And
black should graduately win it.] | ||
|
19...Rab8 '!!' 'Black is using that
white does not have time to take knight.' 20.Bd3 '?!' 'This is already decesive mistake!' | ||
|
[Now there is no 20.Qc4? because of 20...Qb7 ] | ||
|
[20.Bc4 Was the only one chance to be
in the game. Black has a lot of interesting possibilites here, but at least white is not losing immideately! 20...Qxc4 | ||

20...Nd7 '-+' 'Now it is practicaly
over. It is very easy to see how dangerous is to play main lines in Najdorf with out special preparation.' 21.Qe4 g6 'Here my home preparation came to the end.' 22.Bxa6 | ||
