Polgar, J (2735) - Anand, V (2788)
[B17] - World Chess Championship
WCh-FIDE San Luis ARG (1), 2005


(Annotation: "Chess-Theory")

X0 1.e4 X1 c6 X2 2.d4 X3 d5 X4 3.Nc3 X5 dxe4 X6 4.Nxe4 X7 Nd7 X8

Caro-Kann defence, Steinitz variation

5.Bd3 X9 Ngf6 X10 6.Nf3?! X11


In fact the only way, for White, to keep the initiative, is to exchange Knights in f6.

6...Nxe4 X12 7.Bxe4 X13 Nf6 X14 8.Bd3 X15 Bg4 X16


ECB (ECO Codes Base) Classification: [B17-e5*]

9.Be3 X17


All this line is rather successful for Black. We may affirm White has lost here all real inititive.

[ Usual is in this position: 9.c3 X18 e6 X19 10.h3 X20 Bh5 X21 For example: 11.Be2 X22 Bd6 X23 12.Ne5 X24 Bxe2 X25 13.Qxe2 X26 Qc7 X27 14.f4?! X28 (ChessBase) 14...0-0 X29 15.0-0 X30 c5! X31 (ChessBase) Steiner, Herman - Flohr, Salo B17 (44) 0-1, URS-USA, Moscow, 1946]

9...e6 X32 10.c3 X33 Bd6 X34 11.h3 X35 Bh5 X36 12.Qe2 X37 Qa5N X38


An interesting novelty [ Was played three years ago: 12...Nd5 X39 13.g4 X40 Bg6 X41 14.0-0-0 X42 Nf4 X43 15.Bxf4 X44 Bxf4+ X45 16.Kb1 Frajt, Marian - Vack, Ondrej B17 (57) 1-0, X46 Slovakia, SVK-chT, 2002]

13.a4 X47 0-0 X48 14.Qc2?! X49


Certainly a mistake; White will have any compensation for the destruction of his pawn structure.

[ An eventuality was: 14.0-0 X50 Qd5 X51 15.g4 X52 Bg6 X53 16.Bxg6 X54 hxg6= X55 ]

14...Bxf3! X56 15.gxf3 X57 Qh5 X58 16.0-0-0 X59 Nd5 X60


The Black Knight is strong!

17.Kb1 X61

[ It is impossible, for Jutit Polgar, to drive away the d5-Knight by 17.c4? X62 Nb4 X63 18.Qe2 X64 Nxd3+ X65 19.Qxd3 X66 -/+]

17...b5! X67


A strong pawn move!... White has any perspective to his disposal and may be rather anxious about the safety of his King.

18.Rdg1 X68 f6 X69


Anand chooses here a quite and subtil move, opening the diagonal e8-h5 and this way allowing eventually his Queen to come back and change side.

19.axb5 X70 cxb5 X71 20.Bc1 X72 Rab8 X73 21.Qe2 X74 Rfe8 X75 22.Qe4 X76


[ White may play for the draw with: 22.Rg4 X77 a6 X78 23.Rhg1 X79 Rb7 X80 24.f4 X81 Kh8 X82 25.f5 X83 exf5 X84 26.Re4 X85 Qxe2 X86 27.Rxe2 X87 Rxe2 X88 28.Bxe2= X89 ]

22...Kh8 X90 23.h4 X91 f5 X92 24.Qe2 X93 Qf7 X94 25.Rg2?! X95


[ More accurate was: 25.Bg5 X96 a6 X97 26.h5 X98 h6 X99 27.Be3 -/+; but any way Judit Polgar has really any X100 good continuation and Black advantage is clear!]

25...Bf4!?


Interesting and natural. Nevertheless we don' t think it is the strongest continuation. We point out Black owns actually a Dynamical Wide Spectrum (BDWS) - New Chess Theory. X101

In view to illustrate this topic, let us examine now two interesting lines. [ 25...Qc7! X102 26.Rhg1 X103 b4 X104 27.Rxg7 X105 Qa5 X106 28.Bc4 X107 bxc3 X108 29.b3 X109 Rec8! X110 30.Bh6 X111 Bf4 X112 31.R7g5 X113 c2+ X114 32.Qxc2 X115 ( 32.Kb2 X116 Qc3+ X117 33.Ka2 X118 Nb4+ X119 34.Ka3 X120 c1Q+ X121 35.Rxc1 X122 Bxc1+ X123 36.Qb2 X124 Qxb2+ X125 37.Ka4 X126 Qa3# X127 ; 32.Kxc2 X128 Qa2+ X129 33.Kd3 X130 Qxb3+ X131 34.Bxb3 X132 Rxb3# X133 ) 32...Bxg5 X134 33.Bxg5 X135 h6 X136 34.Bd2 X137 Qa4 X138 35.Qb2 X139 Qd7 X140 36.Rc1 X141 Kh7-+ X142 ; 25...e5! X143 26.Qd1 X144 exd4 X145 27.cxd4 X146 Nb4 X147 28.b3 X148 The only answer 28...Rec8 X149 29.Bb2 X150 Qb7! X151 30.d5 X152 Bf8 X153 31.Be5 X154 Qxd5 X155 32.Bxb8 X156 Nxd3-+ X157 ]

26.Rhg1 X158 Rg8 X159 27.Be3 X160 Qd7 X161 28.Qd2?! X162


On this inaccurate White move, Black may increase his advantage. [ Now White may try to resist by playing: 28.h5 X163 Bd6 X164 29.Re1 X165 Rge8 X166 30.Qd1 X167 b4 X168 31.c4 X169 Nf4 X170 32.Bxf4 X171 Bxf4 X172 33.Bc2 X173 Red8 X174 34.Bb3 X175 -/+]

28...Bd6! X176 29.Bc2 X177


(BDWS: Black Dynamical Wide Spectrum)

29...Qb7! X178


A good choice; but it was equally strong to play immediately: [ 29...b4! X179 30.c4 X180 b3 X181 31.cxd5 X182 bxc2+ X183 32.Qxc2 X184 exd5-+ X185 ]

30.Bg5 X186 b4! X187 31.c4 X188 b3 X189 32.Bd3 X190 Bb4! X191


This time it is clear Black, in any case, wins easily!

33.Qe2 X192 Qa6 X193 34.Bh6 X194 Nc3+ X195 35.bxc3 X196 Bxc3 X197 36.Kc1 X198 Qa3+ X199 37.Kd1 X200 Qa1+ X201 38.Bc1 X202 b2 X203 39.Qe3 X204 Bxd4 X205 40.Qd2 X206 bxc1Q+ X207 41.Qxc1 X208 Qa2 0-1
