Constituting the well known Benoni Blockhouse (BEBL:).

[ Another interesting play line is: 8...a6 X17 9.a4 X18 exd5 X19 10.cxd5 X20 f5 X21 11.e5 X22 dxe5 X23 12.d6!? X24 Nec6 X25 13.Bc4+ X26 Kh8 X27 14.Ng5 X28 Nd4 X29 15.Qd3 X30 f4 X31 16.Nce4 X32 Bf5 X33 17.Nf7+ X34 Rxf7 X35 18.Bxf7 X36 Nbc6 X37 =/+ Gerzhov, Leonid (2366) - Radziewicz, Iveta (2407) A43 (65) 0-1, FS07 GM Budapest 2002.]

9.a3 X38 h6 X39 10.b4 X40

Polugaevsky Lever (POLV:) b4-c5.

10...b6 X41 11.bxc5 X42 bxc5

This position, in the heart of the Deep Middle Game (DEMG:) will be studied in our Chess Theory Lecture (CTL:) like the Polugaevsky-Eising Formation (PEFO:).

This one is mainly caracterized by two typical features:
1) The Benoni Blockhouse (BBL:).
X43 2) The b-Open File (OPFI:).

12.Nd2 X44 f5 X45

Plan (PLAN:) of each camp seems rather clear; when White is focusing all his attention on the Queenside, Black tries to develop an action on the Kingside.

13.Nb3 X46 Nd7= X47 14.Bd2 X48 Nf6 X49

We are obviously in a Strategic Phase (STP:) of the game.

15.exf5 X50 gxf5 X51 16.Nb5 X52 Ng6 X53

We may notice the coherent development of the Plan (PLAN:) in both camps and effectively we observe a distinctive Wing Battle (WIBA:).

17.Na5 X54 f4!? X55

[ Instead of the natural 17...Ne7= X56 Black prefers to continue his plan.]

18.Nc6 X57 +/-

White has wined a battle, not the war!

18...Qd7 X58 19.Ba5 X59

What do you think of this position giving a beautiful example of Pawn Figure Complex (PFC:)?

19...Nh4 X60

We admire sincerely the Black' s composure, facing to the White' s attack and nevertheless quitely pursuing his action on the Kingside.

20.f3?= X61

[ Better is to continue attacking on the Queenside: 20.Nc7 X62 Bb7 X63 21.Nxa8 X64 Bxa8 X65 22.Qb3 X66 e4 X67 23.f3 X68 Bxc6 X69 24.dxc6 X70 Qxc6 X71 25.Rae1 X72 +/-]

20...Ne8! X73

Offensive Defensive Move (OFDM:).

21.Bd3 X74 Kh8 X75 +/=

[ Dangerous for Black is: 21...e4? X76 22.Bxe4 X77 Bxa1 X78 23.Qxa1 X79 a6 X80 24.Bd8 X81 Nf5 X82 25.Bxf5 X83 Rxf5 X84 26.Ne7++- X85 ]

22.Nd8?! X86

[ White may pursue his action on the Queenside in a more coherent way by playing: 22.Rf2 X87 a6 X88 23.Nc3 X89 Bb7 X90 24.Rb2 X91 Bf6 X92 25.Rab1 X93 Qg7 X94 +/-]

22...Rg8! X95

According of the flottering of Polugaevsky' s strategy, Eising is clearly taking the initiative.

23.Ra2 X96 Bf6 X97 24.Ne6 X98 Qe7 X99 25.Be4 X100 Rb8 X101 26.Rff2 X102 a6 X103 27.Nc3?! X104

[ More accurate is: 27.Nbc7 X105 Nxc7 X106 28.Bxc7 X107 Rb7 X108 29.Ba5 X109 Qf7 X110 +/=]

27...Ng7 X111

After the elimination of the e6-Knight, the White Attack is Over (WATO:).

28.Nxg7 X112 Qxg7 X113 =/+

29.Qc2 X114 Bd8 X115 30.Bxd8 X116 Rxd8 X117 31.Kh1 X118 Rg8 X119 32.Ra1 X120 Bd7 X121 33.Rg1 X122

At present White game is only defensive.

33...Qf7 X123 34.Bd3 X124 Nf5 X125 35.Bxf5 X126 Bxf5 X127 36.Qa4 X128 Qb7 X129

Finally Black controls the b-Open File (OPFI:).

37.Ne4 X130 Bxe4 X131 38.fxe4= X132

With a predictable Major Pieces Battle (MPB:) begins the Pre-Endgame (PENG:).

38...Rg6 X133 39.Rf3?? X134

A Big Mistake (BLUN:)

[ White maintains a balanced play with: 39.Rgf1 X135 Qb3 X136 40.Qxb3 X137 Rxb3 X138 41.Rf3= X139 ]

39...Qb2 X140 -/+ 40.Qd7?? X141

This time it is a Fatal Mistake (FATM:): White is Mate in 4 (moves) (MAI4:)

40...Qxg2+!!

Flagrantly Polugaevsky was not in a great day!... But, nevertheless it was a fascinating game.
