right away because of Qa5 moves. You can imagine my delight when I realized
that Qd7 actually allows Nc5, winning the queen.} Bh4 (18... Qd7 19. Nc5 $1 $18

n won with the extra piece. So white got a pleasant position after 11.Nb3.
This was a major victory for me. I have taken Novikovs main opening and torn
it to shreds. How would he ever recover? Would he abandon the Najdorf and
begin to play the French defense? Or would he perhaps crush me like a bug next
week? Take a look.....} 1-0

and he's pretty good at chess} Qc7 {Ponomariovs opponent didnt play this move.
Actually his opponent played not so well at all and thus the result of the
game shouldnt have really be linked to the opening. I think that in these
positions black is OK} 12. Qf2 Be7 13. Kb1 {Does anyone see a constructive
plan for white? If you do please email me so I can use it against Novikov next
time, thanks! Honestly I have no idea what white is supposed to do here....
black has no weaknesses, white has no ideas...black is having all the fun in
my opinion.} Na4 $1 {The same move that Igor played last week, with the

My knight is going to come to c4....maybe things arent so bad for me...} d5 $1
{Very nice prophylactic move. To me this move looked ridiculous. First off he
is opening the center without having castled. Second he is going to give
himself an isolated pawn. All of these factors are rendered irrelevant by the
inactivity and clumsiness of my pieces, especially my knight on d2. Where is
it going to go next??} 16. exd5 exd5 17. f4 {I can't stand to play a game

a position like this is sure death against a player like Novikov. One good
thing about action chess is I dont have to suffer for hours in a lost position.

it was my destiny to hold this game. Unfortunately I got lazy at the wrong
time} Rxc2 29. Bxb7 Rb2+ 30. Ka1 Re2 31. Bf4 $4 {Unfortunately I only saw Bb2

moments where a part of you feels like the next move you are about to make
could be the difference between a draw or a loss.....yet you can't really see
why so you just play the move you planned on making, and then you end up
kicking yourself afterwards for not taking more time and trusting your
instinct that this was a key position. This was one of those moments for me.} (

1. e4 {At this point its a 3 way tie for first place going into the last round.
Novikov, Yudasin and I all have 2.5 points. Yudasin had white against Sarkar,
so had good chances to go 3.5, so I felt it was my duty to try to win this
game.} c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 {The Najdorf of course. I
had planned a variation ever since my last loss to Novikov. It's been about 4
tournaments later, but finally I will get my chance, although I must admit my
preparation was not exactly "world class"} 6. Be3 e6 {At this point Novikov
offered me a draw. Based on my chess beliefs, I simply could not accept. If I
had the black pieces of course I would accept. I actually once declined an
early draw offer by Novikov with the black pieces, but only because I didn't
hear his offer. That was quite embarrassing as I suffered for 3 hours and
eventually lost.} 7. g4 {This was my new plan, to mix it up and sacrafice a
piece for a long term initiative...} e5 8. Nf5 g6 9. Bg2 {Usual is 9.g5
instead of Bg2. I know that Novikov is very well prepared in the g5 variations,
having recently defeated Krush with a novelty. This line was a little more
offbeat and seemed to yield white reasonable positions. One downside was that
one of the games I used to prepare was a game including Novikov, thus implying
that he had some ideas up his sleeve.} (9. g5 gxf5 {
This is the main line, favored heavily by Shirov.} 10. exf5 d5 11. Qf3 d4 12.
O-O-O Nbd7 13. Bd2 dxc3 14. Bxc3 Ng8 {This was Novikovs choice against Krush...
}) 9... d5 $5 (9... gxf5 10. exf5) 10. Bg5 gxf5 11. Nxd5 {In my "lazy" home
preparation, I saw that Svidler played this move against Leko. After the mvoes
11....Be7 12. Bf6 Bf6 13. ef5 idea Qe2 and 000, I liked whites play.....
However I didn't suspect for a second that someone like Svidler would allow
black such a forced quick draw in the opening....} Qa5+ 12. Bd2 {only move} Qd8
13. Bg5 Qa5+ 14. Bd2 {And now I have no choice but to take the draw. Back to
the drawing board. Actually Novikov said that he thought black is better in
these lines but that he was simply very tired from the Chicago Open. Yudasin
ended up winning against Sarkar and so me and Igor got 100 bucks each.} 1/2-1/2

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 {Ive never played
this move before. Of course I was hoping that Igor would play the Poisoned
Pawn, as I basically dont even know the first move against the other
variations. Fortunately my dreams came true.} e6 7. f4 {To show how much I
know this line, I even wrote down the move Qd2 on my scoresheet, before
realizing that I was mixing up the order} Qb6 8. Qd2 Qxb2 9. Rb1 Qa3 10. Be2 {
The rarest move in the position, and thus a choice I felt was justified. While
I played in Bermuda, my friend Elisabeth Paehtz claimed that this was a forced
win for white. Of course she loves to exagerate, but it seemed as though the
idea had some merit, and I like to get confusing types of positions with
Novikov.} Be7 11. O-O Nbd7 12. e5 {This is the point, I am sacraficing right
away....going for the kill. In a search of games where both players average
rating is 2400 and up, white had a very big score with this position...
something like 80 percent.} dxe5 13. fxe5 Nxe5 14. Bxf6 gxf6 (14... Bxf6 15.
Rxf6 gxf6 16. Ne4 {This was the idea if Bf6.....white has some very serious
compensation for the exchange.}) 15. Ne4 f5 16. Rb3 Qa4 {Now of course I
forgot everything I looked at that afternoon. When preparing I have the bad
habit of first asking myself "What are the chances I will play Novikov anyway,
and then asking what are the chances I will also be white?" Of course my
answer was that the chances are low, so I should not use too much of my mental
energy remembering this line. I think I need to become more professional....}
17. Nb5 {Now both my knights are in take, but I was confident that they were
poisoned. Unfortuantely I forgot that it was still legal for him to castle...}
(17. Qc3 {This is the move that other people played....of course I have no
idea whats going on here. Most likely course of events is that he will take
one of my pieces and then in response I will sacrafice one of mine.}) 17...
Qxe4 {Maybe he forgot also?} (17... O-O {I think this move is pretty strong, I
dont see what compensation or attack I have here...}) 18. Nc7+ Kf8 19. Qh6+ (
19. Nxa8 {Ok I could take this rook, but I didn't really consider it very much.
Blacks pieces looked too active to me, and now I felt like I would be on the
defensive.....something like ....b5 or Rg8 looked normal}) 19... Kg8 20. Ne8 {
Haha Mr. Novikov, now I will checkmate you......well ok i saw blacks defense
during the game, but I figured that Id find a way to breakthrough.} Qd4+ {
ONLY MOVE} 21. Re3 Ng6 $2 (21... Ng4 $3 22. Bxg4 f4 $19 {uh oh, I lose...this
was the whole point of Ng4....just to be able to play ....f4. Admittedly this
is hard to figure out in a 30 minute game with pieces flying all over the
place.} 23. Qxf4 Qxf4 24. Rxf4 Bc5) 22. Rd1 Bf8 23. Qg5 {At this point I was
pretty sure he was going to take a draw, by allowing repitition, although he
had some chances to try to win if he was feeling ambitious. Novikov is a very
safe player.....he doesnt lose often, but sometimes this may stop him from
finding some winning chances in positions.} h6 (23... Bc5 $5 24. Rxd4 Bxd4 25.
Nf6+ Kf8 {Black seems to have some good chances here...}) 24. Nf6+ {
Now it is simply a draw...} Kg7 25. Nh5+ Kh7 26. Nf6+ Kg7 27. Nh5+ {Hopefully n
ext time I will be more prepared to take this variation head on. The Najdorf
is such a solid, powerful opening these days that even if you prepare very
hard for it, it can be quite difficult to get any kind of advantage.} 1/2-1/2

Wojtkiewicz' beloved Najdorf defense.} 6. Be3 e6 7. f3 b5 8. g4 Nfd7 9. Qd2 Nb6

See some of my games with Novikov for more battles in this opening.} 11. Qf2
Bb7 12. Bd3 Rc8 13. Nce2 Qc7 14. Kb1 Na4 15. Bc1 Ndc5 {This type of piece
placement is favored by none other than Garry Kasparov. Many players have
adapted this approach, such as Wojtkiewicz, Novikov and even myself. It is
very difficult for white to find a specific plan.} 16. b3 Nxd3 17. cxd3 Nc5 {
Blacks positional idea here is ....b4, a5 and Ba6. Black also has a tactical
idea which was realized in the game.} 18. Bb2 $2 {Totally overlooking blacks
reply. If the knight were not on d4, black would have the trick ...Nxd3 Rxd3
Qxc2 hence the move played..} e5 $1 {Now I was very upset with myself. I
completely ignored blacks threats and already seem to be totally lost. I
desperately searched for a way to complicate issues. Ideas of counterattacking
blacks knight with b4 do not work also.} 19. Nf5 (19. b4 exd4 20. bxc5 dxc5 $19
) 19... Nxd3 $1 20. Rxd3 Qc2+ 21. Ka1 Qxd3 22. Qa7 {This move seemed stronger
than Qb6 because in some variations my queen eyes the f7 square. I am the
luckiest player alive as these complications have no business being favorable
for me. I have a habit of sometimes being rewarded for hanging material,
although I suppose it is important not to give up after making an oversight
and to continue fighting to find ways to make things difficult for your
opponent. It's funny how many positions allow for serious resistance.} (22. Qb6
) 22... Bc6 $1 {This move contains the idea of bringing the bishop back to d7,
a much more solid place for the bishop to be, also helping to defend the king.}
(22... Qxf3 23. Neg3 {Now white has the double threat of capturing the b7
bishop and playing Rf1 with discoveries on f7. Probably black should have no
fear and simply capture on e4, but to play such a move in a tournament game,
let alone in game 30, is very difficult.} Bxe4 24. Rf1 Qd3 25. Nxg7+ Bxg7 26.
Qxf7+ Kd8 27. Qxg7 Re8 {and black may be defending...}) 23. Nc3 $5 (23. Qxa6
Bd7 {I could not see a way to continue the attack here. If black ever
untangles his pieces the game is hopeless, and I don't see an effective way to
stop ideas like ....g6 followed up by Be7 and 00.}) 23... b4 24. Rd1 Qxf3 25.
Qxa6 $1 Rc7 (25... Bd7 {This was the move I was expecting, however white has
some good counterplay here.} 26. Nxd6+ Bxd6 27. Qxd6 Qxg4 (27... Bxg4 $2 28.

And white clearly has compensation for the material.}) 28. Qxe5+ Be6 (28... Kf8

rook on h8 is too great a liability.} Qxe2 31. Qxd7 Rf8 32. Qd4 f6 33. Qd5+ Rf7
34. Rc1 $18) 29. Qb5+ Kf8 30. Qxb4+ Kg8 31. Qd4 {Now with ideas of Rg1,
combined with the terrible development of the black pieces, gives white a
crushing attack.}) 26. Rf1 {
I must play this move to permit my knight on c3 to move.} Qxg4 27. Nb5 Bxb5 28.
Qxb5+ Kd8 29. Qb8+ Kd7 {Now I was aware that I had perpetual check if desired
by playing Qb5-b8 and back and forth. Yet I had 6 minutes to my opponents 3
and I also felt that I should have a strong position, considering blacks
clumsy development. Hence I was not yet ready to agree to a draw.
Unfortunately it is very easy to make a calculation mistake with such little
time, and this is exactly what I did.} 30. Ne3 $2 (30. Qb5+ Kd8 31. Qb8+ Kd7
32. Qb5+ Kd8 $11) (30. Qxb4 {I feel like this is my best try, to simply play
the position down the material but up the initiative. Things dont seem so easy
for black here} Be7 31. Qb5+ Kd8 {
Once again its possible that white may have to acquiese to a draw.}) 30... Qxe4
31. Rxf7+ Be7 32. Rxe7+ Kxe7 33. Qxc7+ Ke6 {Now white is in serious trouble.
Despite having 2 pieces for the rook, black has 2 extra pawns and also whites
pieces are very clumsily placed.} 34. Qc1 $2 (34. Bc1 $1 {I believe this move
is whites best practical chance. Whites only real active piece is the queen on
c7. Why remove that queen from its active post by playing Qc1, thus leaving
all of whites pieces defending and passive. With this move at least black
still has some real problems to solve.}) (34. Qc4+ Qxc4 35. bxc4 {This endgame
should be hopeless. Blacks rook and 2 pawns are far superior to whites two
minors}) 34... Rf8 {
Now it is easy, black can bring the pieces into the game at will.} 35. a4 {
A desperate attempt to get some room for the king.} bxa3 36. Bxa3 Qd4+ 37. Kb1
