X0

Petrov' s Defense. Greco Attack (3.Nxe5). Morphy-Lowenthal Line: (4...Nxe4). Nimzovich retort: (5.Nc3).

1.e4 X1 e5 X2 2.Nf3 X3 Nf6 X4 3.Nxe5 X5 d6 X6 4.Nf3 X7 Nxe4 X8 5.Nc3 X9 Nxc3 X10 6.dxc3 X11 Be7 X12 7.Bf4 X13

C42-Totally Pure Opening. ECB: (ECO Codes Base) [C42-g4*].

7...0-0 X14 8.Qd2 X15 Nd7 X16 9.0-0-0 X17

This opening is favorable to White, but leads very often to a draw.

9...Nc5 X18 10.Be3 X19 Re8 X20 11.Bc4 X21 Be6 X22 12.Bxe6 X23 Nxe6 X24

One encounters this position since 1983. White has a non-negligeable advantage and in many cases succeeds in winning.

13.h4 X25 Qd7 X26 14.Qd3 X27

[ Is possible: 14.Kb1 X28 Qa4 X29 15.Ng5 X30 Nf8 X31 16.Rh3 X32 c6 X33 17.Rg3 X34 Qxh4 X35 18.Rh3 X36 Qg4 X37 19.f3 X38 Qf5 X39 20.g4 X40 Qd5 X41 21.Qxd5 X42 cxd5 X43 22.Nxh7 X44 Nxh7 X45 23.Rdh1 X46 +/- with a strong White attack on the Kingside (Apicella, Manuel (2522) - Laurent, Bruno (2374), 1-0 (C-42), Touraine op.18th, 2003..]

14...Qc6 X47

This position is without clear perspectives and leads easily to a draw, like in the two following little games:

15.Qf5N X48

[ 15.Rh3 X49 Nc5 X50 16.Qc4 X51 Qe4 X52 17.Qf1 X53 Bf6 X54 18.h5 X55 h6 X56 19.Kb1 X57 Ne6 X58 20.Rg3 X59 Kh8 X60 21.Qd3 X61 1/2-1/2, Lahno, Katerina (2454) - Frolyanov, Dmitry (2486), (C42), Moscow Aeroflot op.-B, 2005
; 15.Rde1 X62 Nc5 X63 16.Bxc5 X64 Qxc5 X65 17.Re3 X66 Bf6 X67 18.Rhe1 X68 Rxe3 X69 19.Rxe3 X70 Qc6 X71 20.g3 X72 1/2-1/2, Almasi, Zoltan (2640) - Fridman, Daniel, (C42), Bundesliga, 2005. ]

15...Qc4 X73 16.Ng5 X74

Karjakin tries to concentrate his forces on the Kingside, but without great success.

16...Bxg5 X75 17.hxg5 X76 Nf8 X77 18.Kb1 X78 Re5 X79 19.Qd3 X80 Qxd3 X81 20.cxd3 X82 Rae8 X83

It is rather clear that the battle may be stoped now; a beautiful example of Exhausted Game (EXGA:) (see the: "Dynamic Chess Classification").

21.Rh3 X84 b6 X85 22.Kc2 X86 R5e6 X87 23.Rdh1 X88 f6 X89 24.gxf6 X90 Rxf6 X91 25.d4 X92 d5 X93 26.Kd3 X94 h6 X95 27.Rh5 X96 c6 X97 28.b3 X98 Rg6 X99 29.Rg1 X100

With the idea: g4.

29...Nd7! X101

White gained a little space, but the Black Knight d7 heads toward the e4-square and located here may be dangerous.

30.g4 X102 Nf6 X103 31.Rh4 X104 Ne4 X105 32.Rh5 X106 Nf6 X107 33.Rh4
