Board 5. G/75+5 (delay). E32 Nimzo-Indian Defense, Classical Variation (by
transposition) 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 b6 5.Bg5 0-0 This is
considered premature as the K's position usually makes breaking the pin more
of an issue.
5...Bb7 6.e3 h6 7.Bh4 g5 8.Bg3 Ne4 9.Qc2 Bxc3+ 10.bxc3 d6 (Hasek - Vecsey : Prague 1928), which classified as a Q's Indian, rather
than a Nimzo, is the main line. 6.Qc2 This avoids doubled Ps but 6.e3 h6 7.Bh4 Bb7 8.Bd3 (Kalabar - Censer : London Olympiad 1927) offered the
best chance of exploiting the enemy's move order & gaining an edge. If 6.e4 h6 7.Bh4 Black keeps the balance with g5! 8.Nxg5! Nxe4! (Sendinc
- A. Mueller : Frankfurt 1999) 6...h6 7.Bh4 Bb7 8.a3 Perhaps I should
have omitted this & opted for 8.e3 d6 9.Bd3 Nbd7 10.0-0 (Gilg - Ahues :
Kecskemet 1927) instead. 8...Bxc3+ 9.Qxc3 d6 10.Nd2!? With the
ambitious idea of building a big center with f3 + e4. 10.e3 Nbd7 11.Bd3 Qe8 (E. Khan - Eperjesi : Budapest 1993) is equal. 10...Nbd7 11.f3 e5 11...c5 11...Rc8 favored by Karpov, Kramnik & Anand 11...d5 & 11...Re8 are good, too. 12.d5 12.e4 ∆exd4 13.Qxd4 I . Sokolov - Luther
: Politiken Cup, Copenhagen 1991 12...a5
With ideas of ...Nc5 & ...a4. I expected 12...c6N 13.dxc6 Bxc6 13.b3?N This is
positionally desirable but tactically flawed. 13.e4= (E. Popov -
Razumichin : correspondence, Russia 2001), reinforcing d5 & keeping my Q
protected, or 13.e3 a4 14.Bd3= Fustar - Marinkov : Belgrade 2009 13...Nc5? 13...Nxd5! 14.Bxd8 Nxc3 15.Bxc7 d5 would have given Black
a clear plus. 14.e3 g5? 14...Nxd5! 15.Bxd8 Nxc3 16.Bxc7 a4!= 15.Bf2 Now White has the advantage. Ne8? 15...e4± 16.h4?! 16.e4 16...Qf6? 16...f5± or 16...g4± 17.Be2? 17.hxg5 hxg5 18.e4+- 17...e4 18.Qxf6 Not 18.Nxe4?? Nxe4-+ 18...Nxf6
19.hxg5 hxg5 20.0-0-0? 20.f4 g4 20...gxf4 21.exf4+- 21.Bh4± 20...exf3?? Giving me the g-file makes no sense. 20...b5 21.cxb5 Bxd5 21.gxf3+- Rfe8 22.Kc2 b5 22...Kf8 23.e4 bxc4 24.bxc4 Ba6? 24...Kf8 25.Bd4 Kg7? 25...Ncd7 26.Rdg1 26.f4! 26...Kg6? 26...Ncd7 27.Rg2?! 27.f4! 27...Nfd7?
27...Rh8 28.Rxh8 Rxh8 29.f4 Ncd7 28.f4! f6 If 28...Nxe4 then 29.Bh5+ Kf5 29...Kh7 30.Bxf7# 30.Bg4+ Kxf4 30...Kg6 31.f5# 31.Rf1+ Nf2 32.Rfxf2# 29.Bh5+ Black resigns. Time left
- Moldovan 19:16, Gottlieb 13:13. Estimated time used - Moldovan 58:09, Gottlieb
64:12. Longest thinks: White - 9 minutes for 13.b3?. Black - 6 minutes at turns 13,
14, 15 & 16. After 29.Bh5+ Kg7 30.Bxe8 30.fxg5 Rh8 31.gxf6+ Kf8 32.Rg7 30...Rxe8 31.Rxg5+ White wins an Exchange & P.
However, even 29.Rxg5+‼ fxg5 30.Bh5+ Kh7 31.Bf7# 1–0
