We recognize the anti-Marshall move, but played one move later than usual; this is in fact a new line, flagrantly reserved to the chess elite, introduced for the first time in 2003, in the game: Almasi, Zoltan (2676) - Ivanicevic, Ivan (2569), 1/2-1/2, (C88), BIH- ch T Jahorina, 2003.

10...h6 X26

[ The game Almasi - Ivanisevic continues by: 10...b4 X27 11.a5 X28 h6 X29 12.Nbd2 X30 Bf8 X31 13.Nc4 X32 g6 X33 14.Bd2 X34 Rb8 X35 15.Qc1 X36 +/=]

11.c3 X37

[ Peter Svidler obtained a convincing:victory in the line: 11.Nc3 X38 b4 X39 12.Nd5 X40 Na5 X41 13.Ba2 X42 Bc5 X43 14.Bd2 X44 Bxd5 X45 15.Bxd5 X46 Nxd5 X47 16.exd5 X48 Qf6 X49 17.c3 X50 bxc3 X51 18.Bxc3 X52 Qb6 X53 19.Rxe5 X54 Bxf2+ X55 20.Kh1= X56 /unclear: Svidler, Peter - Leko, Peter, 1-0, (C88), San Luis, FIDE Wch (3), 2005.]

[ In Monte Carlo Topalov playing against Anand has chosen : 11...Bc5 X58 and the game continued like this: 12.Nbd2 X59 Bb6 X60 13.Ba2 X61 Rf8 X62 14.Nf1 X63 d6 X64 15.Ng3 X65 Ne7 X66 16.Nh4 X67 Kh7 X68 17.Qf3= X69 Topalov, Veselin - Anand, Viswanathan, ½-½, (C88), Monte Carlo, Amber-blind 15th, 2006.; Was equally played: 11...Bf8 X70 12.axb5 X71 axb5 X72 13.Rxa8 X73 Qxa8 X74 14.Na3 X75 Bxa3 X76 15.bxa3 X77 Na5 X78 16.Nh4 X79 d5 X80 17.f3 X81 Nxb3 X82 18.Qxb3 X83 Qa6 X84 =/+ Safranska, Anda (2285) - Adams, Michael (2615), 0-1, (C88), Lloyds Bank op., 1991.]

12.Nbd2= X85 d5!? X86 13.a5 X87 dxe4 X88 14.dxe4 X89 Bc5 X90 15.Qe2 X91 Qe7 X92

The game remains equal and it is not easy, for both players, to find a credible strategy.

16.Nh4 X93 Nd7 X94 17.Nf5 X95 Qf6 X96 18.Qg4 X97 Ne7? X98

A fault; the Knight d7 is unprotected and White has the opportunity of a dangerous pseudo-sacrifice.

[ Is preferable: 18...Nf8 X99 +/=; or: 18...Bc8 X100 +/=]

19.Nxh6+ X101 Qxh6 X102 20.Qxd7 X103 Red8?? X104 +-

Surprising new mistake.

21.Qxc7

This time, Black lost two pawns and its game is totally disorganized.

1-0
