played like Aronian - 2007/03/27 05:47
First of all I should say that I am a quite crappy but cheap tactitian ... Once in a while I play that breathtaking combination..
This game was a 5 0 blitz and it was a Staunton Gambit, what else against the Dutch? For the first and probably only time in my life I felt that I was playing like Aronian, with dynamics and force not caring about structure, just finding the potential in what initially looked like a quite boring game. Please feel free to hammer down on my analysis, I don't have a chess engine so it's only my subjective little analysis!
time: 5 0
ECO: A82 Staunton Gambit
I was white, Black's rating was 1994
1. d4 f5
2. e4 fxe4
3. f3 e5 (never encountered this before!)
4. Nc3 (I decided to continue in the nature of the gambit, which is usually wise) exd4
5. Qxd4 Nc6
6. Qxe4+ Qe7 (I was nearly about to resign, I don't like these type of games
7. Bg5 (don't develop your opponent by Qxe7) Qxe4+
8. fxe4 (an isolani and I don't like those generally but I was in no mood to have my knight chased around and it guards the d5-and f5-squares) Bb4
9. 0-0-0! (I like this, my pawn structure will be awful after Bxc3 but the lead in development will prove important) Bxc3
10. bxc3 Nge7
11. Nf3 0-0
12. Bc4+! (didn't know really, but as it turns out, the right square for the bishop) Kh8
13. Rhf1 (white's lead in development is clear, but it's hard to see how to capitalize quickly, which is crucial due to the bad pawn structure white has) d6
14. e5! (the game is coming alive) d5!? (the only reply as I can see it: dxe5 Nxe5 Rxf1 Rxf1; Nxe5 Bxe7)
15. Bxe7 Nxe7
16. Ng5!? (Bxd5 cashing in the extra pawn is perhaps sounder but it kills the dynamic excitement of the game) Bg4! (hmm maybe I should have taken the pawn after all...? how do I get out of this??)
17. Rd4! (what the heck) dxc4
18. Rxf8+ Rxf8
19. Rxg4 b5
20. Ne6 (the dynamics working out to my advantage) Rf1+
21. Kb2 Nd5
22. Rxg7 a5?? (blundering the knight although black had a difficult game; Nf4 would have forced me to play Re7 and I don't like those rook endgames even a pawn up
23. Rd7 (threatening mate in 1) h5
24. Rxd5 - the rest is just technique and not too interesting or well played out, but I will provide it
24... Re1
25. Rxb5 Kh7
26. Rc5 Kg6
27. Nf4+ Kf5
28. g3 h4
29. e6+ Kf6
30. Rxc4 hxg3
31. hxg3 Re3??
32. Rxc7?? (returning the favour; Nd5+) Rxg3??
33. Nh5+ (a second time would be one too much) Kxe6
34. Nxg3 Kd6
35. Rc4 Kd5 (black was still pinning his hopes on a time win, rightly so as I was very low on time)
36. Kb3 Ke5
37. Rc5+ Kf4
38. Ne2+ Ke3
39. Nd4 Ke4
40. Rxa5 (huh at least a draw now..) Ke3
41. Rc5 Ke4
42. a4 Ke3
43. a5 Ke4
44. a6 Ke3
45. a7 Ke4
46. a8=Q Kf4
47. Qe8 Kg3
48. Rf5 Black resigns as I have 8 seconds left
Although the interesting and deciding phase of the game is only 6 or 7 moves - from move 14 - I think the game is good example of how dynamics can be more important than structure (I don't say it always is, just look at Kramnik's games, although he is mastering the dynamics too). Have a look at Aronian's games (and Morozevich's ones as well) and see how he is mastering dynamic positions by always finding that single move that keeps up the dynamics and force!
Hope you liked! Thanks for your time!
