Sicilian, Najdorf Defense, Byrne (English) Attack: (B90).
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 Be7
X14
[ The most usual move order is: 7...Be6
X15 8.f3
X16 Be7
X17 9.Qd2
X18 ]
8.f3
X19 Be6
X20 9.Qd2
X21 0-0
X22 10.0-0-0
X23 a5
X24
An answer among many others. This doesn' t mean the theory is uncertain at this stage. But Black may pursue through some more or less credible continuations.
[ Among them you find the main line: 10...Nbd7
X25 11.g4
X26 b5
X27 12.g5
X28 b4
X29 13.Ne2
X30 Ne8
X31 = Almasi, Zoltan (2640) - Agrest, Evgenij (2571), 1-0, (B90), Corsica Masters Prelim rapid, 2005. Another interesting game is the recent one: 14.h4
X32 a5
X33 15.Kb1
X34 Nb6
X35 16.Ng3
X36 a4
X37 17.Nc1
X38 d5

X43 20.Bc4
X44 Nc7
X45 21.dxe6!?
X46 Rxd2
X47 22.exf7+
X48 Kh8
X49 23.Rxd2
X50 Qc6
X51 24.b3
X52 It appears clearly that, as usually in the Najdorf with opposite side castling, both camps engage a sharp and uncertain combat, where White tries to exploit the open d-file and organizes an attack on the Black castle, while Black exercises a strong pressure on the White castling by an expansion of their Queenside pawns and the control of the c-file. (Morozevich, Alexander - Volokitin, Andrei, 1-0, (B90), Biel GM, Biel, 2006) ]
11.Qe1
X53
With this experimental move, introduced in 2004, we reach the Critical Phase of the Opening. The Opening Theory suddendly teeters!
[ Since many years, the classical line: 11.Bb5
X54 Nc6
X55 12.Kb1
X56 seems to be progressively gived up, in particular by GMs. ]
11...Qc8
X57
The most usual; the Black Queen is sometimes played in c7.
12.a3N
By this novelty Peter Leko introduces a new plan; White keeps the control of the b4-square but in counterpart allows Black to occupy the a4-square
X58
It is judicious to notice that, after the predictable Black move a5-a4, the a4-pawn risks to be difficult to protect.
[ Is usually played: 12.a4
X59 and then the game may continues by: 12...Nc6
X60 13.g4
X61 Nb4
X62 14.Kb1
X63 Ne8
X64 15.Qf2
X65 b5
X66 16.Nxb5
X67 d5
X68 17.exd5

X70 18.Nc3
X71 Bxb3
X72 19.cxb3
X73 Qe6
X74 20.Bc4
X75 Qg6+
X76 21.Ne4?!
X77 Karjakin, Sergey - Dominguez, Lenier, (62), 1-0, (B90), Dos Hermanas, 2005]
12...a4
X78 13.Nd2
X79 Nbd7
X80 14.Kb1
X81 Rd8
X82 15.Bb5
X83 d5!=
X84
Since the 12th White move we are in the Thematic Middle Game (i.e. all moves are played, at one moment or another, in such a line). Nevertheless the move order is essential; so this Break move is played at the right time and permits Black to fight for the initiative.
16.exd5
X85 Nxd5
X86 17.Nxd5
X87 Bxd5
X88 18.Qe2
X89 Qc7
X90 19.Ne4
considering this position, in a game played by two very strong players of identical level, it is tempting to wager for the draw!
X91 19...Be6
X92 20.Nc3
X93 Nb6
X94 21.Rxd8+
X95 Rxd8
X96 22.Nxa4
X97
In conformity with Leko' s ideas, the a4-pawn is captured. But Black has enough compensation with a noticeable initiative.
22...Nc4!
X98
Really, an Initiative move in the Reti' s meaning. The audacious Black Knight threatens the e3-Bishop and, in the same time, cuts off the communication between White pieces on the a6-f1 diagonal.
23.Bxc4
X99
Practically forced!
23...Bxc4
X100 24.Qf2
X101 Qc6
X102 25.Nb6!
X103
The only move able to contest the Black initiative; again we judge the game might be a draw.
25...Be6
X104 26.Qe2
X105 f5!
An excellent move; Black mobile pawn tandem e5-f5, strongly supported by the pair of Bishops, should be, thereafter, a frightening weapon.
X106 27.Re1
X107 Bf6
X108 28.g3
X109 h6
X110 29.Bf2
X111 e4!
X112 30.fxe4
X113 fxe4
X114 31.a4
X115
The best choice.... But White is now confined to a defensive game; in particular the dangerous passed pawn e4 hold up all White attempt.
[ The pawn is taboo: loses immediately: 31.Qxe4??
X116 Qxe4
X117 32.Rc1
X118 followed, according to Fritz, by a mate in 18!]
31...Qd6
X119 32.c4??
X120
A decisive mistake.
[ The only correct continuation is: 32.c3
X121 but, even in this case it is difficult to stop the Black passed pawn. Let us see: 32...Qd3+
X122 33.Qxd3
X123 exd3
X124 34.Be3
X125 Rd6
X126 ( Or then: 34...Bg5
X127 35.Bxg5

X131 37.Re8+

X178 Ke6!
X179 45.Nxd3
X180 Ra2
X181 46.Nc1
X182 Ra3
X183 -+ and Black must win the ending!]
32...Qb4!
X184
Evidently!
33.Nd5
X185 Bxd5
X186 34.cxd5
X187 Rxd5
X188 35.Qc2
X189 Rd2
X190 36.Qc8+
X191 Kf7
And then White is mate in some moves. A great Peter Svidler' s game, stopping a long draw series!
We may add, it appears now that the novelty 12.a3 presents some inconvenients, because White is quickly engaged to play some moves on the Queen side, delaying his necessary engagement in a clear action against the Black castling.
0-1
~ Peter (Carl) Svidler ~
is he the new drawing master?
