Ruy Lopez Opening: (C88), Closed, 8.a3

1.e4 X1 e5 X2 2.Nf3 X3 Nc6 X4 3.Bb5 X5 a6 X6 4.Ba4 X7 Nf6 X8 5.0-0 X9 Be7 X10 6.Re1 X11 b5 X12 7.Bb3 X13 0-0 X14 8.a3 X15

This unusual move was introduce in 1975, by Alexander Malevensky, with the intention to maintain the White Bishop on the Spanish diagonal a2-g8. This idea is seductive and has been since adopted by some first rate grandmasters like Suetin, Sokolov, and more recently Topalov, Grischuk, Short and some others.

8...Bc5 X16 9.c3 X17

[ Grinschuk played recently with success: 9.d3 X18 d6 X19 10.Bg5 X20 h6 X21 11.Bh4 X22 g5 X23 12.Bg3 X24 Bg4 X25 13.c3 X26 Bb6 X27 14.Nbd2 X28 Be6 X29 15.Nf1 X30 Nh5 X31 16.Ne3 X32 Bxe3 X33 17.Rxe3 X34 Bxb3 X35 18.Qxb3 X36 Qe8 X37 19.Rd1= X38 Grischuk, Alexander (2606) - Tkachiev, Vladislav (2657), 1-0, (88), FIDE-Wch k.o., 2000.]

[ In this variation, Black may take the advantage, as in the game: 11.h3 X43 Bb7 X44 12.Bc2 X45 Re8 X46 13.d5 X47 Ne7 X48 14.a4 X49 Ng6 X50 15.Be3 X51 Bxe3 X52 16.Rxe3 X53 c6 X54 17.dxc6 X55 Bxc6 X56 18.axb5 X57 axb5 X58 19.Rxa8 X59 Qxa8 X60 20.Nbd2!? X61 Tseitlin, Mark, D (2435)- Yurtaev, Leonid (2525) , 0-1, (C88), Hartberg op., 1991.]

11...h6 X62 12.h3 X63 Re8 X64 13.Nbd2 X65 Bb7 X66 14.dxe5 X67 dxe5 X68 15.Bxb6 X69 cxb6 X70 16.Nh2 X71 Qe7 X72

Anticipating: ...Rad8; it is true that the control of the d-file will be a basic feature of the game.

17.Ng4 X73 Rad8 X74 18.Nxf6+ X75 Qxf6 X76 19.Qe2= X77

This position seems rather clean , well arranged and without challenging perpectives!

19...Na5 X78 20.Ba2 X79 Bc8 X80 21.Nf1 X81 Qg6 X82 22.Kh2 X83

[ Or: 22.Ng3= X84 ]

22...Be6 X85 23.Bxe6 X86 Rxe6 X87 24.a4? X88

Obviously a fault.

[ 24.Ng3= X89 seems rather natural; White maintains also the equality with 24.Rad1= X90 ]

24...Nb3! X91

Now Black seizes the initiative.

25.Rad1 X92 Rxd1 X93 26.Rxd1 X94 bxa4 X95 =/+ 27.Qxa6 X96 Qxe4 X97 28.Qc8+ X98 Kh7 X99 29.Rd8 X100 Qf4+ X101 30.Ng3 X102 Nd2! X103

[ Peter Svidler avoids the trap: 30...Qxf2 X104 31.Rh8+ X105 Kg6 X106 32.Rxh6+ X107 gxh6 X108 33.Qg8+ X109 Kf6 X110 34.Ne4+ X111 +-]

31.h4!? X112

It is difficult to find another move and this is certainly a necessity.

[ Does not work: 31.Rh8+ X113 Kg6 X114 32.Qg8 X115 Qxf2 X116 -+]

31...Qxh4+ X117 32.Kg1 X118 e4! X119

According to Steve Giddins in ChessBase report: "The most energic way to finish the game".

33.Rxd2 X120 e3 X121 34.Rd3 X122 Qf4 X123 35.Rxe3 X124 Rxe3 X125 36.fxe3 X126 Qxg3 X127 37.Qf5+ X128 Qg6 X129 38.Qd5 X130 Qe6 X131 39.Qd4 X132 g6 X133 40.Qxa4 X134 Qxe3+ X135 41.Kh2 X136 h5 X137 42.Qd1 X138 Kg7 X139 43.Qd6 X140 f6 X141 44.Qc7+ X142 Kh6 X143 45.b4 X144 Kg5 X145 46.Qc6 X146 Qe5+ X147 47.Kg1 X148 b5 +-

This time, White wins easily this technical endgame.

0-1
