Konstantinopolsky-Gilman USSR Correspondence Champ - 2007/07/19 15:49
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 d6 6.g3 b6 7.Bg2 Bb7 8.0-0 a6 9.Re1 Qc7

Blacks idea of fianchettoing his bishop with 6.
b6?! And delaying the development of his Kingside pieces cannot be recommended
Since this game was played by correspondence, when white made this sacrifice he had to assume that his opponent would find the best defence. The given example demonstrate the correctness of the piece sacrifice at d5 and is therefore of particular interest. This was considered to be a pioneering game in chess history, since it fully discloses the global idea of Nc3-d5! When the black king is in the centre.
10.Nd5 exd5 11.exd5+ Kd8
After 11.
Be7 12. Nf5 Ng8 13. Nxg7+ Black would have lost too quickly.
12.Bg5 Nbd7
Black prepares to evacuate his king to the queenside.
13.Qe2 Kc8 14.c4
White is not tempted by the win of a pawn by 14. Qe8+ Qd8 15. Qxf7; he starts an immediate pawn storm, in order to open lines on the queenside by any possible means.
14.
Kb8 15.b4 Ka7 16.a4 Re8 17.Be3
Creating numerous threats : 18. a5, 18. Nb5+ and 18. Nc6+
17.
Ne5 18.Nc6+
Undoubtedly the strongest continuation of the attack.
18.
Nxc6 19.dxc6 Bxc6 20.a5 Rxe3!
Black defends in the best way possible, and the struggle flares up with renewed strength
21.Qxe3 Bxg2 22.Kxg2 d5 23.b5!
Any ways to open lines
23.
Bc5 24.axb6+ Bxb6
24.
Qxb6 fails to 25. Rxa6+ Qxa6 26. Qxc5+ Qb6 27. Re7+
25.Rxa6+ Kb7 26.Qa3 Rd8
The threat was 27. Re7 Nd7 28. Rxd7! Qxd7 29. c5
27.Re7 Nd7
if 27.
Rd7 then 29 Ra8
 28. cxd5!
The quickest way to win, giving black little choice.
28.
Qc5 29.Qf3 Qxb5 30.Ra3 Kc7 31.Rxf7 Kd6 32.Rxg7 Ne5 32.
Qxd5 is adequately met by 33. Rd3 Bd4 34. Qxd5+ Kxd5 35. Rg4
33.Qf6+ Kxd5 34.Qxe5+ 1-0
