Exciting team chess
By IM Robert Ris
We take a look at the inal rounds of the two strongest team
events in the world. Tomsk-400 (Karjakin, Ponomariov etc.)
won the Russian League, while Anand played his last two
games before his match against Gelfand for Baden-Baden.

Our
Game of the Week
, Svidler-Morozevich, shows the richness of
the Queen's Gambit Declined (5.¥f4). Morozevich came up with an
amazing novelty in a well-known position. Two rounds earlier Svidler
had suffered a painful defeat against Jakovenko with the rarely seen
5.£c2. Jakovenko was in turn crushed by Morozevich in a topical line of
the Semi-Slav, which we discussed in CVO 168.
The tricky 8...£b6 9.£d2 £xb2 in the Steinitz Variation of the French
was seen twice this week in Dominguez-Nepomniachtchi and
Kurnosov-Andreikin (see below). Movsesian impressively demolished
Leko's Berlin Wall, and that game can also be found below. Karjakin-
Tregubov, Leko-Bocharov (both Taimanovs) and Karjakin-Kokarev
(Najdorf 6.¥g5, Poisoned Pawn) are worth studying for Sicilian adepts.
The Grünfeld was seen quite frequently in the Russian League.
Morozevich, Karjakin and Jakovenko all went for the Hungarian
Variation (5.£b3), but their opponents, Caruana, Svidler and Sutovsky
respectively, once again proved the soundness of the Russian System
(7...a6). Below we take a close look at Ragger-Vachier Lagrave, where
the Austrian theoretician introduced an interesting new idea in the g3-
Grünfeld.

The Sicilian with 3.¥b5 isn't as harmless as it's generally considered, and Black can't just play for a win with 3...¤d7 without knowing
what to do. Tiviakov easily outplayed World Champion Anand after the latter committed various mistakes at an early stage. 11...b6?
was heavily criticized by Tiviakov, as Black's dynamic potential could no longer compensate for the
structural weaknesses. A textbook win from White's perspective! (see below).

Wild West QGD
The Queen’s Gambit Declined has been heavily analyzed over the last couple of years, but
that doesn’t mean there’s no longer any scope for creativity. Morozevich’s novelty ensured it
was a great spectacle.

'
s Gambit Declined, 5.¥f4
11...dxe4!
A stunning novelty. Black correctly judges
that he
'
ll obtain excellent play along the open
central files. Two earlier games went:
a) 11...¥b7
12.exd5 £xd5 13.¥c4 £h5 14.£b3
¥xf3 15.£xf3 £xf3 16.gxf3 ¤c6 and it was
about equal in Gyimesi-Naiditsch, Eppingen
2010.
b) 11...d4
12.¥d3 ¥a6 13.¥xa6 £a5+ 14.¤d2
£xa6 15.¥xb8 ¦axb8 16.¤c4 d3 17.£xd3
¦fd8 18.£e2 ¥g5 19.h4 ¦d4 20.hxg5 £xc4
and Black was doing OK in Wojtaszek-Roiz,
Lublin 2011. Although Black drew both games
easily, Morozevich
'
s move seems better as an
immediate equalizer.
12.£xe4
The inclusion of 12.¦d1 doesn
'
t really help
White: 12...£a5+ 13.¥d2 £c7 14.£xe4 ¥b7 is
absolutely fine for Black.
12...¦e8 13.¥d3
13.£xa8 ¥f6+ 14.¥e3 (14.¥e2 can be
answered with 14...¦xe2+! 15.¢xe2 ¥a6+
16.¢e1 £e8+ when Black seizes the initiative.)
14...£b6 15.£d5 £xb2 16.¦d1 ¥b7 17.£xc5
(17.£c4 ¥xf3 18.¥e2 ¥xg2 19.¦g1 ¥c6
gives Black at least sufficient compensation.)
17...¥xf3 18.¦c1 (18.gxf3? loses to 18...¥c3+!)
18...¥h4 19.¦c2 £b1+ 20.¦c1 £b2 21.¦c2
and a draw seems the most logical outcome.
13...¥f6
The expected follow-up. 13...¥f5?! doesn
'
t
offer bright prospects after 14.£xf5 g6 15.£e4
¥f6 16.0–0–0 ¦xe4 17.¥xe4 £b6 18.¥e5 ¥xe5
19.¤xe5 £f6 20.¥xa8 £xe5 21.g3 and White
'
s
chances are clearly preferable.
14.¤e5 ¤c6!
Another great move. Inaccurate is 14...¥f5?!
15.£xf5 g6 16.£e4 ¤d7 17.0–0 and White is
slightly better because of his favorable pawn
structure. 14...¤d7? is a terrible blunder,
because of 15.£xh7+ ¢f8 16.£h8+ ¢e7
17.¤c6+ and White wins.
15.£xh7+
15.0–0–0 leads to a draw after 15...¥xe5
16.¥xe5 ¤xe5 (16...¦xe5? 17.£xc6 ¥d7
18.£xd7 £xd7 19.¥xh7+ ¢xh7 20.¦xd7 and
White
'
s just a § up.) 17.£xh7+ ¢f8 18.£h8+
¢e7 19.£h4+ ¢f8 (In case of 19...f6? 20.¦he1
Black succumbs to the pressure.
)
20.£h8+ and
neither side can avoid a repetition of moves.
15...¢f8 16.£h8+ ¢e7 17.¤xc6+ ¢d7+
18.¥e5
18.¢d2? is bad, in view of 18...¢xc6 19.£h5
¥a6 20.£f3+ ¢b6 21.¢c2 ¥xd3+ 22.£xd3
£xd3+ 23.¢xd3 ¦ad8+ and Black wins.
18...¢xc6
After 18...¦xh8? 19.¤xd8 ¥xe5 20.¤xf7 White
remains on top.

This wonderful resource had to be foreseen a
long time in advance, though it only leads to a
draw. Inferior is 19.¥e4+? ¢b6 and Black wins.
19...¥xe5
It doesn
'
t really matter which piece Black takes
first: 19...¦xh8 20.¥e4+ ¢b6 21.¦xd8 ¥xe5
22.¦xh8 ¥f4+ 23.¢c2 (23.¢d1 ¥g4+ 24.f3
¥xf3+ 25.¥xf3 ¦xh8 with equality.) 23...¥b7
24.¥xb7 (24.¦xa8? ¥xe4+ favors Black.)
24...¦xh8 is very similar to the game.
20.¥e4+ ¢c7 21.¦xd8 ¦xh8 22.¦xh8 ¥f4+
23.¢c2 ¥b7 24.¥xb7 ¦xh8 25.¥d5 ¦d8!
More accurate than 25...¦xh2?! 26.¦xh2 ¥xh2
27.¥xf7 when Black still needs to work for the
half point.
26.¦d1 ¥xh2 27.¥xf7
27.g3 ¥g1 28.¦xg1 ¦xd5 would also lead to
a draw.

30.¢xd2 ¥e5 31.b3 ¥f6 ½–½
1.¤f3 ¤f6 2.c4 e6 3.¤c3 d5 4.d4 ¥e7 5.¥f4
Two rounds prior to this game Svidler had
opted for 5.£c2 but suffered a quick and
painful defeat against Jakovenko.
5...0–0 6.a3
A fashionable idea. The main move is 6.e3
which has been covered several times in
CVOs 28, 49, 52, 88, 110, 125 and 135.
6...b6
Black
'
s most reliable continuation. The point of
White
'
s last move is that 6...c5 7.dxc5 ¥xc5
(7...¤e4 hasn
'
t been tested since Vachier
Lagrave-Giri, see CVO 147.) 8.e3 transposes
to lines which usually arise from 6.e3 c5, which
is considered favorable for White. Another idea
behind 6.a3 is to meet 6...¤bd7?! with 7.¤b5
and compared to the variation with 6.e3 White
has prevented the annoying check on b4.
Black
'
s main alternative to the text is 6...dxc4
which has been employed by Kramnik and
Anand and was covered in CVO 147.
7.cxd5
The alternative 7.£c2 c5! served Black well in
Topalov-Aronian (CVO 160).
7...¤xd5 8.¤xd5 exd5 9.£c2
9.e3 and 9.g3 have been seen a couple of
time in practice, but Black doesn
'
t seem to
face any problems here either. In CVO 160 we
comprehensively analyzed these options.

We rarely see Leko lose, which makes Movsesian's impressive win against the former prodigy from Hungary
even more noteworthy. Black's setup with ...¥d7 and transferring the ¢ to the queenside involves some strategic
risk, as White might be able to seize the initiative on the other part(s) of the board. However, practice has shown
that Black isn't without his chances either. In case you believe in Black's long term prospects, Harikrishna is your
man. The Indian GM has played some real model games from Black's perspective. Movsesian decided to deviate
from established theory with 14.¥c1!?, redirecting the ¥ to g5. Initially Leko reacted well by advancing his a-pawn
in order to generate some counterplay on the queenside, but he couldn't find a good square for his dark-squared
¥. In the diagram position Black might consider 17...¥a3!?, when the ¥ doesn't hinder any of his other pieces and
also threatens, under certain circumstances, to penetrate into White's camp from b2. After various inaccuracies
Movsesian expeditiously tackled Black's position and quickly converted his growing advantage.

Taking a look at the diagram without knowing the names of the players you could hardly imagine the current
World Champion was sitting behind the black pieces. This is the kind of structure you teach kids to avoid
when employing the Sicilian. White has a firm grip over the d5–square, his ¥ is superior to its counterpart and
moreover Black is unable to generate counterplay either on the queen- or kingside. In CVO 148 and 152 we
showed that the Anti-Sicilian with 3.¥b5 ¤d7 contains more venom (for both sides!) than you might actually
expect. It's even more surprising for a player of Anand's caliber to go wrong quickly in the opening and fail to
strive for Black's usual activity. After several other inaccuracies Tiviakov easily converted his advantage. His
performance will undoubtedly feature in future books on middlegames and/or endgames. In the PGN-file you
can find a clear review of the current state of the variation with 7.c4.

Never take a poisoned pawn, even when it's good. For quite some time Black has been doing well in the tricky
line 7...cxd4 8.¤xd4 £b6 9.£d2 £xb2 against the Steinitz Variation of the French. In CVO 117 we covered
the spectacular Topalov-Nakamura game, where the Bulgarian revealed a nice piece of home preparation.
However, back then we suggested an improvement for Black which seems to allow him to hold, and no new
games can be found in that specific line. In Dominguez-Nepomniachtchi the players copied the game Shirov-
Morozevich with a quick draw the result. Critical is 16.¥f2! which was played one day later by Kurnosov in
his game against Andreikin. The latter deviated with 17...£c8 from the game Nijboer-Kuipers, where Black
didn't obtain sufficient compensation for the § after the forced sequence initiated by 18.g3 £h3 19.¦xd7! ¢xd7
20.¤xd5! Andreikin's innovation doesn't seem to solve the problems Black faces in this line and Kurnosov went
on to win the ensuing endgame convincingly.

Black usually delays castling in the main line of the g3–Grünfeld. With the Anti-Grünfeld White can choose to
transpose to the g3–variation, where Black's options are limited. Indeed, after 8...¤b6 9.e3 we enter one of
the most fashionable lines of the Grünfeld, though 9.d5! is more critical when 9...¥xc3 can be met by 10.dxc6,
giving White the better prospects. In CVO 71 we covered Black's main alternative of 8...¥f5 which has recently
been adopted by Grünfeld expert Vachier-Lagrave. He's been doing reasonably well so far with Black, but this
week he suffered a painful defeat against Ragger. The Austrian GM introduced a very interesting novelty with
10.¤a4!?, whereas only 10.e4 had been tested prior to this game. The Frenchman couldn't find a good antidote
and in the diagram position he's already in serious trouble. Improvements therefore need to be found earlier on
and so 10...¤db4!? comes into consideration. In the PGN-file I've tried to make it work, though it certainly needs
careful checking. Otherwise Black might try the more cautious 12...¤b6, aiming to equalize.
