Sicilan Defense, Najdorf: (B90), 6.Be3.

1.e4 X1 c5 X2 2.Nf3 X3 d6 X4 3.d4 X5 cxd4 X6 4.Nxd4 X7 Nf6 X8 5.Nc3 X9 a6 X10 6.Be3 X11 e5 X12 7.Nb3 X13 Be6 X14 8.Qd2 X15 Nbd7 X16 9.0-0-0 X17 Be7 X18 10.f3 X19 h5 X20

All this line, a B90-Totally Pure Opening, regularly played since 1973, is according to the ChessBase statistics flagrantly favorable to Black.

11.Kb1 X21 Qc7 X22

[ This opening may continue by: 11...b5 X23 , like in the game Petrushin-shashiin: 12.Nd5 X24 Bxd5 X25 13.exd5 X26 Nb6 X27 14.Bxb6 X28 Qxb6 X29 15.Na5 X30 Nd7 X31 16.Nc6 X32 Bf6 X33 17.Bd3 X34 +/= Petrushin, Alexander I - Shashin, Alexander, a, 0-1, (B90), URS army tt Soviet Union, 1973. ]

12.Bd3 X35 b5 X36 13.Bg5! X37

[ Less ambitious is: 13.h3 X38 h4 X39 14.f4 X40 Rc8 X41 15.Rhe1 X42 Bc4 X43 16.Bf2 X44 Rh5 X45 17.a3 X46 Kf8 X47 18.f5 X48 Kg8 X49 19.Be2 X50 Rh8= X51 Gzamota, Pawel (2386) - Areshchenko, Alexander (2564), ½-½, (B90), Capelle op. 20th, 2004.]

13...Nb6 X52 14.f4= X53 Rb8 X54

The beginning of a clear plan based on the occupation and the opening of the b-file.

15.Rhe1 X55

White chooses to concentrate its forces for an action on the center.

15...Nc4! X56 16.Bxc4 X57

[ After: 16.Qc1 X58 Bg4 X59 17.Ne2 X60 the White camp is disorganised.]

16...bxc4 X61 17.Nc1 X62 Qb7 X63

Topalov has the initiative and the following White' s move is forced.

18.b3 X64 exf4 X65 19.Bxf4 X66 0-0 X67 20.Bxd6 X68 Bxd6 X69 21.Qxd6 X70 Rfc8 X71 22.Nd5!? X72

[ Black comes in a significant advantage after: 22.Kb2 X73 a5 X74 23.Nd5 X75 Bxd5 X76 24.exd5 X77 a4 X78 25.Re7 X79 Qa8 X80 26.Rc7 X81 axb3 X82 27.cxb3 X83 c3+ X84 28.Ka1 X85 Rxc7 X86 29.Qxc7 X87 Rc8 X88 -/+]

22...Nxd5 X89 23.exd5 X90 Bf5 X91

Pinning the White c2-pawn.

24.Rd2 X92 Bg6 X93 25.Re7 X94 Qb5 X95 26.Rc7?! X96

[ A better defensive move may be: 26.Qe5 X97 ]

26...Qa5 X98 27.Rxc8+ X99 Rxc8 X100 28.Re2?! X101

[ Looks playable: 28.Qf4 X102 c3 X103 29.Re2 X104 Qxd5 X105 30.g4 X106 h4 X107 =/+]

28...cxb3! X108 29.axb3 X109 Qc3! X110

This time Topalov has obviously a winning game!

30.Qg3 X111 Bxc2+ X112 31.Ka2 X113

[ Is impossible: 31.Rxc2?? X114 Qxc2+ X115 32.Ka1 X116 Qxc1+ X117 and mate in one!]

31...Bb1+? X118

[ A winning line for Black is presumably: 31...Qa5+! X119 32.Kb2 X120 Bg6 X121 33.d6 X122 Qc5 X123 34.Na2 X124 Qd4+ X125 35.Nc3 X126 -+]

32.Kxb1 X127 Qxc1+ X128 33.Ka2 X129 Rc5 X130 34.Qb8+ X131 Kh7 X132 35.Qb4 X133 f5? X134

A new surprising mistake!

[ Topalov maintains Black' s advantage by playing: 35...Rb5 X135 -/+]

36.Qd2 X136

Suddenly the Queens exchange is inescapable.

36...Qxd2+ X137 37.Rxd2 X138 Kg6 X139 38.b4! X140 +/-

This time, Peter Svidler has a good endgame.

38...Rc8 X141 39.Kb3 X142 Kf7 X143 40.Ra2 X144 Ra8 X145 41.h4 X146 f4?! X147

[ White preserves equally a significant advantage by playing: 41...Ra7 X148 42.Kc4 X149 Rc7+ X150 43.Kd4 X151 Rb7 X152 44.Ra4 X153 +/-]

42.Re2 X154 Kf6 X155 43.Kc4 X156 Rc8+ X157 44.Kd4 X158 Rb8 X159 45.d6! X160

The passed d-pawn is the spearhead of White' s victory!

45...Rxb4+ X161 46.Kc5 X162 Rb1 X163 47.Rd2 X164 Rb8 X165 48.d7

All is achieved!

1-0
