Carlsen, Magnus (NOR) (2690) -

X0
King' s Indian Defense (E66), Fianchetto, Yugoslav/Panno System.
1.d4
X1 Nf6
X2 2.c4
X3 g6
X4 3.g3
X5 Bg7
X6 4.Bg2
X7 0-0
X8 5.Nc3
X9 d6
X10 6.Nf3
X11 c5
X12
[ In this beginning, the main line is the E69-Totally Pure Opening, many often played since 1951: 6...Nbd7
X13 7.0-0
X14 e5
X15 8.e4
X16 c6
X17 9.h3
X18 Qb6
X19 +/= and then for example: 10.Re1
X20 exd4
X21 11.Nxd4
X22 Ne8
X23 12.Nb3
X24 a5
X25 13.Be3
X26 Qb4
X27 14.a3
X28 Qxc4
X29 15.Nd4
X30 f6
X31 16.Nd5
X32 !?N (Stohl) Greenfeld Alan (2547) - Candela Perez, jose (2426), 1-0, (E69), EUCup 20th Izmir, 2004]
7.0-0
X33
This position constitutes the Yugoslav system (E64 to E66).
7...Nc6
X34 8.d5
X35
The start point of the Panno variation, an E66-Totally Pure Opening. In all this opening the move order is quite important to avoid some subtle complications.
[ As remarks GM Mihail Marin, in his deep comment, a significant drawback of all this variation is that White may easily dissipate central tension and still keep a tiny edge by playing: 8.dxc5
X36 dxc5
X37 9.Qb3
X38 etc... +/=]
8...Na5
X39 9.Nd2
X40 e5
X41
[ The main alternative is here: 9...a6
X42 10.Qc2
X43 Rb8
X44 11.b3
X45 b5
X46 12.Bb2
X47 bxc4
X48 13.bxc4
X49 Bh6
X50 14.f4
X51 e5
X52 like in the classic game: 15.Rae1
X53 exf4
X54 16.gxf4
X55 Re8
X56 17.Nd1
X57 Rb7
X58 18.Bc3
X59 Bd7
X60 19.e3
X61 Nh5
X62 20.Nf2
X63 Bg7
X64 21.Bxg7
X65 Nxg7
X66 22.Qc3
X67 +/= ]
10.b3
X68
A thematic move, in this position, usual play since the game Byshev, Vasily M - Osnov, Viatcheslav, 1-0, (E66), URS-ch, Tashkent, 1958.
10...Ng4
X69 11.h3!?
X70
A rare but judicious answer. The Black Knight is forced to go home and White has a healthy initiative.
[ It is usual to continue by: 11.e4
X71 f5
X72 12.exf5
X73 gxf5
X74 13.h3
X75 ]
11...Nh6
X76 12.Nde4!?
X77 N
~ DEVIANT ART ~
"Fractal" by Misty2007
 : DEVIANT ART/ Misty2007
A genuine novelty. By playing this surprising move the young Magnus Carlsen has certainly an idea in mind.
[ Has been played here: 12.Bb2
X78 f5
X79 13.Qc2
X80 Nf7
X81 14.Rae1
X82 g5
X83 15.e3
X84 h5
X85 16.f3
X86 Bd7
X87 17.Nd1
X88 b6
X89 18.Nf2
X90 Nh6
X91 19.Nd3
X92 Rf7
X93 +/= Tatai, Stefano - Quinteros, Miguel Angel, 0-1, (E66), Vidmar men, Ljubjana/Portoroz, 1973; and equally, but generally after an other order of moves, a great Vukic speciality: 12.e4
X94 a6
X95 13.Bb2
X96 Rb8
X97 14.Qc2
X98 b5
X99 15.Rae1
X100 f5
X101 16.exf5
X102 gxf5
X103 17.Nd1
X104 Rb7
X105 (we may notice that all this phase is thematic play) 18.f4
X106 exf4
X107 19.Rxf4
X108 Re8
X109 20.Rxe8+
X110 Qxe8
X111 +/= ]
12...f6
X112 13.Nxd6!!
X113 (or !?)
A brilliant speculative sacrifice. Of course, only an accuarate practical testing and theoretical study will permit to affirm that this innovation is absolutely correct. But, how can one not admire the courage and the coolness of young Magnus ? And not think to Fischer or Tal?
[ A purely positional continuation, without great prospects, is: 13.Qc2
X114 Nf7
X115 14.a3
X116 f5
X117 15.Nd2
X118 b6
X119 16.Bb2
X120 Nb7
X121 17.e3
X122 a6=
X123 ]
13...Qxd6
X124 14.Ne4
X125 Qd8
X126
[ Anyways, the c5-pawn is indefensible. 14...Qb6
X127 15.Be3
X128 Rf7
X129 16.Bxc5
X130 Qd8
X131 +/=]
15.Nxc5
X132 f5
X133
[ The apparently natural developing move: 15...Nf7?
X134 will be here a big mistake because of: 16.Ne6
X135 Bxe6
X136 17.dxe6
X137 Ng5
X138 18.e7
X139 Qxe7
X140 19.Qd5+
X141 Ne6
X142 20.Qxa5
X143 +-]
16.d6
X144
[ Also playable: 16.Bxh6
X145 Bxh6
X146 17.d6
X147 e4

[ Or, in another order: 16...Nf7
X159 17.d7
X160 e4
X161 etc...]
17.d7!
X162
Now it is clear that Morozevich has been unable to find a refutation of the Carlsen' s sacrifice: White has an effective and lasting initiative.
[ White maintains equally his advantage by playing: 17.Bxh6
X163 Bxh6
X164 18.Qd5+
X165 Rf7
X166 19.d7
X167 Bxd7
X168 20.Rad1
X169 Nc6
X170 21.Nxd7
X171 Bg7
X172 +/=]
17...Nf7
X173 18.Rb1
X174
Certainly the best choice.
[ Is not clear: 18.dxc8Q?!
X175 Qxc8
X176 19.Be3
X177 b6
X178 20.Na4
X179 Rd8
X180 21.Qe1
X181 Bxa1
X182 22.Qxa1
X183 =/unclear]
18...Qe7
X184 19.dxc8Q
X185 Raxc8
X186 20.Na4
X187
The balance is easy to see: White has a pawn more, a well-developed game and no structural weakness. In other words, Black does not seem to have sufficient compensation for the pawn, apart from a evident spatial advantage.
20...Rfd8
X188
Of course.
21.Qe1
X189 Nc6
X190 22.Nc3
X191 Nd4
X192 23.Bb2
X193 b5!
X194
Morozevich' s minority attack on the Queenside is effectively the only crisp tactics available.
24.Nd5!
X195 Qd6
X196 25.Bxd4
X197 Bxd4
X198 26.Rd1
X199 Be5
X200 27.Qa5
X201 bxc4
X202 28.Ne3
X203 Qc7
X204 29.Qxc7
X205 Bxc7
X206
It is not entirely evident that the Queen exchange reinforces White' s advantage.
30.Nxc4
X207 Ne5
X208 31.Rxd8+
X209 Rxd8
X210 32.Rc1
X211 Nxc4
X212 33.Rxc4
X213 Rd1+
X214 34.Bf1
X215 Bd6
X216 35.e3
X217
At this stage, for two reasons, it is not obvious that White has a winning game: 1) Black has spatial advantage. 2) The Bishops are on opposite color squares.
35...a5
X218 36.Kg2
X219 Kf7
X220 37.Rc2
X221 Ke7
X222 38.Be2
X223 Rd5
X224 39.Bc4
X225 Rd1
X226 40.g4
X227 f4
X228 41.exf4
X229 Bxf4?
X230
This instant recapture of the pawn is a big tactical mistake. On one hand the f4-pawn is indefensible and it was not urgent to take it; and on the other hand the Black e4-pawn is himself very weak and in bad shape.
[ Nevertheless Black has also a difficult game in the alternative line: 41...Kf6
X231 42.Be2
X232 Rd4
X233 43.Rc6
X234 Ke7
X235 44.a4
X236 Bxf4
X237 +/-]
42.Re2!
X238 Rd4
X239 43.Bd3!
X240
The sharp point of the White' s tactical combination.
43...Kf6
X241 44.Bxe4
X242 Rd2
X243 45.Rxd2
X244 Bxd2
X245 46.Kg3
X246 Be1
X247 47.Kf3
X248 Bb4
X249 48.h4
X250 h6
X251 49.Ke2
X252 Bd6
X253 50.Kd3
X254 Bc5
X255 51.f4!
X256
Black menages to block the white pawns on the Kingside on dark squares; thus, they are vulnerable.
51...h5!
X257 52.g5+
X258 Kg7
X259 53.Kc4!
X260
This choice needs a good calculation; Carlsen decides to give up his Kingside pawns, in view to promote one on the Queenside. And he is right: this is a winning plan. 53...Bd6
X261 54.Kb5
X262 Bxf4
X263 55.Kxa5
X264 Bg3
X265 56.Kb5
X266
The a-file is made free, for the promotion of the a-pawn.
56...Bxh4
X267 57.a4
X268 Bxg5
X269 58.a5
X270 Kf6
X271 59.a6
X272 Be3
X273 60.Kc6
X274 g5
X275 61.b4
X276 Ke5
X277 62.b5
X278 Kxe4
X279 63.b6
X280 g4
X281 64.a7
X282 g3
X283 65.a8Q
X284 Kf3
X285 66.b7
X286 Bf4
X287 67.Qf8
X288 Ke4
X289 68.Qe8+
An outstanding performance by Magnus Carlsen, who came from Corus tournament with a 13-game period without a win.
1-0
