X0

***Theory*** - This game is an A43-Pivot Game (PIGA:). 1.d4 X1 c5 X2

The Tarrasch Lever (TL:).

2.d5 X3 d6 X4 3.Nc3 X5 g6 X6 4.Nf3 X7 Bg7 X8 5.e4

We name Old Benoni Center (OBC:) this typical pawn formation: d5, e4-c5,d6. It is constituted by many components like:
1) The King Air Lock (KIAL:) e4-d6.
X9 2) The Benoni Ram (BERA:) d5-d6.

5...Nf6 X10 6.Be2 X11 Na6 X12 7.0-0 X13 Nc7 X14 8.a4 X15 0-0 X16 9.Bf4 X17 b6 X18 10.h3 X19 Bb7 X20 11.Re1 X21 Re8 X22 12.Bc4 X23

Kluger-Tal Variation, Main Line. ECB (ECO Codes Base) Classification: [A43-r4*].

12...a6 X24 13.Qd3 X25 Nd7 X26

[ Black may play also: 13...Ra7 X27 14.Rad1 X28 Nh5 X29 15.Bh2 X30 Bxc3? X31 16.Qxc3 X32 b5 X33 17.Ba2 X34 f6 X35 18.Qe3 X36 +/= Maskalenko, Victor (2530) - Gual Pascual, Antonio (2421) A43 (32) 1-0, Catalunya, 2005.]

14.e5 X37

The Benoni Break Move (BEBM:) constituting the Benoni Lever (BELV:) e5-d6. This Initiative Move (INIM:) is one of the principal White' s assets in this opening.

14...dxe5 X38 15.Nxe5 X39 Nxe5 X40 16.Bxe5 X41 Qd7 X42

[ The game Arizmendi Martinez, Julen (2531) - Arduman, Can (2308) A43 EUCup 20th, 2004, continues as follow: 16...Bxe5 X43 17.Rxe5 X44 Qd7 X45 18.Rae1 X46 Rad8 X47 19.Qe2 X48 Qc8 X49 20.Rxe7 X50 Rxe7 X51 21.Qxe7 X52 Bxd5 X53 22.Rd1 X54 Qa8 X55 23.Qg5?? X56 Unclear after: 23...Ne6! 1-0 ( 23.Qxc7 X57 +- is the winning move! ) ]

17.Bxg7 X58 Kxg7 X59 18.Rad1 X60 Rad8 X61 +/=

Very interesting position in the heart of the Deep Middle Game (DEMG:). It will be a refence for us in the future; also we name it the Kluger-Tal Formation (KTFO:).

19.b3 X62 Qf5!? X63 20.Qg3! X64 +/=

[ Is not clear: 20.Qxf5 X65 gxf5 X66 21.Re5 X67 f4 X68 22.Rg5+ X69 Kf8 X70 23.Rh5 X71 Kg7 X72 +/=]

20...Na8!? X73

[ More accurate seems: 20...Qd7 X74 ]

21.Bd3 X75 Qd7 X76 22.Be4 X77 Qd6 X78 23.Qe3 X79

White Refuse Queen Exchange (RQE:) in view to preserve their chances of victory.

23...Nc7 X80 24.Bf3 X81 f5! X82 25.h4 X83 Bc8 X84

All the fight is concentrated around the e-file (Critical Line (CRLI:)) and mainly the e6-square (Critical Point (CRPT:)).

26.h5 X85

Lever h5-g6.

26...Bd7 X86 27.Ne2 X87

White has a Good Knight and Black a Bad Knight (GNBN:)

27...e5! X88 +/=

This significant move is played at the right time. A draw seems possible.

28.dxe6 X89 Qxe6 X90 29.Qg5 X91 Qe7 X92 30.Qg3 X93 Bc8? X94

The first Tal' s mistake and apparently the only one of this game.

[ The only way for Black was to pursue endlessly the Queen Battle (QBAT:) 30...Qe5 X95 But, anyway White disposes of the strong answer: 31.Nf4! X96 ]

31.hxg6 X97 hxg6 X98 32.Nf4! X99 +-

Now White has a winning game.

32...Qxe1+ X100

Black has no choice.

33.Rxe1 X101 Rxe1+ X102

Queen Against Rooks (QAGR:).

34.Kh2 X103 Rd7 X104 +-

It is clear, Black has a bad Knight and a bad Bishop.

35.Qxg6+ X105 Kh8 X106 36.Qf6+ X107 Kg8 X108 37.Qg5+ X109 Rg7 X110 38.Qd8+ X111 Re8 X112 39.Bd5+ X113

Let us notice that White pieces are Well Coordinated (WWCO:).

39...Kh8 X114

Tal has no choice; it is the only answer.

40.Qd6 X115 Nxd5 X116 41.Nxd5 X117 Rh7+ X118 42.Kg3 X119 f4+ X120 43.Kxf4 X121 Rf7+ X122 44.Kg3 X123 Rg7+ X124 45.Kf3 X125 Bb7 X126

A judicious Pin Move (PINM:).

46.g4! X127

Rooks have not the mobility of a Queen and the White King may hope protect himself behind his pawns.

46...Re1 X128 47.c4 X129 b5 X130 48.axb5 X131 axb5 X132 49.Qf8+ X133 Kh7 X134 50.Qf5+ X135 Kg8 X136 51.Kg2 X137 Rf7 X138 52.Qg6+ X139 Rg7 X140 53.Qf5 X141 Rf7 X142 54.Qg5+ X143 Rg7 X144 55.Qd8+ X145 Kh7 X146 56.f3 X147 Rb1 X148 57.Nf6+ X149 Kg6 X150 58.Nh5 X151 Bxf3+ X152 59.Kxf3

A fine game very well played by both opponents!

1-0
