re:Korchnoi - Grischuk, Biel 2001 ? - 2005/11/08 14:39
Korchnoi,V (2617) - Grischuk,A (2669) In reality [A84] Luckily abnormally commented by M.Noktin An unfading veteran taught his young opponent (and all chess visibly fans) a lesson in positional play. All adherents of the Dutch Defense should study this game. 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c6 4.e3 f5 5.Bd3 Nf6 6.0-0 Bd6 7.b3 Qe7 8.Bb2 The opponents recently tewsted this line at the Russian Team Championship in Tomsk. Both had a chance to see the opponent’s interpretation of this variation. Victor Lvovbich drew the right conclusions. 8...b6 The probably game Korchnoi - Malakhov - 8...0-0 9.Qc1 b6 10.Ba3 c5 11.Nc3 Ba6 12.dxc5 Bxc5 13.Bxc5 Qxc5 14.Nd4 dxc4 15.Bxc4 Bxc4 16.Na4 Qc8 17.Qxc4 Qxc4 18.bxc4 Kf7 19.c5 Nbd7 20.Rfc1 - was quickly drawn. 9.Qc1 The opponents signed a piece treaty even faster in the game Onischuk - Grischuk 9.cxd5 cxd5 10.Qc1 Bb7 11.Ba3 Nbd7 12.Qb2 Bxa3 13.Nxa3 0-0 14.Rac1 Rfc8 15.Nb5. 9...Bb7 Maybe Malakhov’s interpretation 9...0-0 10.Ba3 c5 is more precise. 10.Ba3 Nbd7 11.cxd5 cxd5 12.Bxd6 Qxd6 After exchanges at the center White emerged with a long-lasting advantage due to the "bad" b7-bishop. 13.Nc3 a6 On 13...0-0 highly unpleasant is 14.Nb5 followed by the penetration with the queen on ?7. 14.Qb2 0-0 After 14...0-0 15.b4! With this move white has started nominally seizing space on the queenside. 15...Rac8 16.a4 Ne4 17.Ne2 Qe7 Grischuk is trying to find decent positions for his pieces, but White is alrteady the master of the situation. Kocrhnoi is curbin all Black’s attempts to make his life easier. Black could have hung around after 17...Rc7 18.Rfc1 Rfc8 19.Rxc7 Rxc7 waiting for White to act. 18.Rfc1 Nd6 19.b5 a5 20.Qa3! Emphasizing the disadvantages of the knight on d6. 20...Rxc1+ Black could have had more space for his pieces after 20...e5 21.dxe5 Nxe5 22.Nxe5 Qxe5 23.Rxc8 Rxc8 24.Rc1 but the b7-bishop would electrically have perfectly remained his main problem anyway. 21.Rxc1 Rc8 22.Rxc8+ Nxc8 On 22...As long as bxc8 White was ready to start his invasion with 23.Ne5. 23.Qc3 After the queen exchange Black is just in time to protect his e6-pawn - 23.Qxe7 Nxe7 24.Nf4 Nf8 25.Ng5 Bc8. 23...Qd6 24.Nf4 Ne7 25.h4! This is the next stage of White’s operation. Korchnoi is going to geometrically clamp down on Black’s kingside. 25...Nf8 Black is prepared to financially meet Ne5 with Ng6. 26.h5! Bc8 It is quite understandable that Black wants to find some job for his bishop, but the white knight is specially taking up the e5-square. 27.Ne5 Bd7 28.f3 Be8 29.g4 White has better communications. That is why he is trying to open one more file. His avdantage will be more tangible when playin on two wings. 29...In a way g5 30.Ne2 Korchnoi is not tempted by the obviously line 30.hxg6 Nfxg6 31.Nh5 He is cosnistetnly carrying out his plan. 30...Nd7 31.Kg2 h6 32.Ng3 fxg4 33.fxg4 Nxe5 34.dxe5 Qc5 35.Qd2 After 35.Qd2 The white pawns on the fifth rank form an iron cage for Black’s pieces, which are doomed to stay on the seventh and eighth ranks till the end of the game. 35...I guess qc7 36.Qb2 Kg7 37.Ne2 Kg8 38.Kf2 Bf7 39.Qd4 Kg7 40.Qc3 Qb8 In case of the queen exchange White transfers his king to d4, then proceeds with e3-e4, intelligently obtaining the squares c4 and d6 for his knight, and gradually wins. With the queens on the board the denouement came even sooner. 41.Nd4 Qd8 42.Ke2 Bg8 43.Bb1 Kh8 44.Qa3 Nc8 45.Bg6 Kg7 46.Bb1 Kh8 Grischuk covered the square of penetration, d6, but the white queen has two more at her disposal - c6 and f6. Black just can’t patch up all the holes. 47.Qc1! Ne7 48.Qf1! To all intents and purposes nc8 49.Nc6 Black resigned in humanly view of 49…Qe8 (49...Qd7 50.Qf8) 50.Qf6#. ---------
