This beginning is a D15-Totally Pure Opening, introduced in 1993 and since rarely played.

[ The most usual Black retort is: 5...b5 X11 like in the following game: 6.b3 X12 Bg4 X13 7.Be2 X14 Nbd7 X15 8.Bb2 X16 e6 X17 9.h3 X18 Bf5 X19 10.0-0 X20 Bb4 X21 11.a4 X22 bxa4 X23 12.bxa4 X24 0-0 X25 13.Na2 X26 Be7 X27 14.Nh4 X28 Be4= X29 Brawn, Arik (2465) - Lendwal, Reinhard (2435), 1-0, (D15), AUT-ch, 2005.;
An alternative is: 5...e6 X30 6.a4 X31 c5 X32 7.Be2 X33 Nc6 X34 8.0-0 X35 Be7 X36 9.b3 X37 cxd4 X38 10.exd4 X39 0-0 X40 11.Bf4 X41 Ne4 X42 12.Qc2 X43 Nb4 X44 +/= Trebugov, Pavel (2607) - Bacrot, Etienne (2729), 0-1, (D15), Corsica KO rapid, 2005.]

6.Ne5 X45 h6 X46 7.Qb3 X47 Ra7 X48 8.cxd5 X49 cxd5 X50 9.Bd2 X51 e6 X52 10.Rc1 X53 Nbd7!? X54

[ Is not better: 10...Be7 X55 11.Qa4+ X56 Kf8 X57 12.Nb5 X58 Ra8 X59 13.Nc7 X60 Ra7 X61 14.Bb4 X62 b6 X63 15.Bxe7+ X64 Qxe7 X65 16.Nxa6 X66 +/-]

11.Bb5! X67

This surprising answer was introduced in 2003, in the game: Nielsen, Peter Heine (2625) - Hansen, Sune Berg (2537), 1/2-1/2, (D15), Malmo, Siegeman & Co 11th, 2003 and constitutes certainly the refutation of the last Black' s move.

[ The foreseeable suite is: 11.Nxd7 X68 Nxd7 X69 12.Ne2 X70 Nb8 X71 13.Nf4 X72 Bd6 X73 14.Bb4 X74 Bxb4+ X75 15.Qxb4= X76 Radjabov, Teimour (2610) - Morozevich, Alexander (2716) 0-1, (D15), RUS-The world rapid, 2002.]

11...Bd6 X77

[ Black must refuse the sacrifice: 11...axb5?? X78 12.Nxb5 X79 Ra6 X80 13.Nc7+ X81 Qxc7 X82 14.Rxc7+- X83 ]

12.Nxd7N X84 =

Ponomariov tries a new way.

[ Had been played 3 or 4 times: 12.Bxd7+ X85 Nxd7 X86 13.Nxd7 X87 Kxd7= X88 ; in particular: 14.Ne2 X89 b5 X90 15.0-0 X91 Qb8 X92 16.Ng3 X93 Bg6 X94 17.Bb4 X95 Rc8 X96 18.Bc5 X97 +/= Laurent, Bruno (2363) - Berthelot, Yannick (2327), 1-0, (D15), Guingamp, Breizh Masters-B, 2004.]

12...Nxd7 X98 13.Bxd7+ X99 Qxd7 X100 14.Na4 X101 0-0 X102 15.Nb6 X103

Ponomariov is able to exercise, on the Queenside, a strong pressure. In the same time, Black does not have any counterplay at its disposal.

15...Qd8 X104 16.Nc8 X105 Qxc8 X106

The only alternative.

17.Rxc8 X107 Rxc8 X108 18.Qb6 X109 +/-

Now the White Queen dominates the chessboard.

18...Bb8 X110 19.0-0 X111 Kh7 X112 20.Rc1 X113 Bc2 X114 +/-

The best defensive choice; but without hope.

21.Ba5! X115 Kg6 X116 22.Qb4 X117 Rc4 X118 23.Qd2 X119 Bf5 X120 24.Rxc4 X121 dxc4 X122 25.Bb6 X123 Ra8 X124 26.Qe2 X125 e5 X126 27.Qxc4 X127 exd4 X128 28.Qxd4 X129 f6 X130 29.f4 X131 Bb1 X132 30.Qd5 +-

In this game, all Ponomariov' s strategy was faultless and Magnus was unable to create the least threat.

1-0
