Game 13 White – Black, PS 6, January 27, 2001.
|
Under the illusion that white has mate threats, Black offers the exchange on move 21. White fails to capture the rook for a couple moves. Black safely moves his rook and white blunders a bishop on the same square where the rook vacated.
1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.e5 Ne4 White has various ways to play against the posted knight, 4 Qf3, 4 Nce2, 4 d4, and even d3. Black can equalize in each line. 4.Be2 Nc6 5.Nf3 Bg4 6.d4 e6 7.0-0 Be7 8.Bf4 0-0 9.h3 Bxf3 10.Bxf3 Ng5 11.Bg4 Ne4 If white played bishop back to f3 the position would be repeated. 12.Re1 Nxc3 Black decides he can't keep his posted central knight so he trades it off and doubles whites c pawns. 13.bxc3 Now black should play Na5 aiming to post the knight on c4. Black can also follow with c5 and utilize the c file with his rooks. 13...Bg5 14.Qd2 Bxf4 15.Qxf4 Qd7 16.a4 a5 Again Na5 followed by c5 would be better plan. 17.Rab1 b6 18.Re3 Rae8 19.Rg3 Black should swing his knight over to kingside to help defend. Ne7-g6. 19...f6 . |

| 20.Bh5 20.exf6 Rxf6 21.Qxf6! gxf6 22.Bxe6+ (double check!) wins back the queen is decisive for white. Therefore, Black would not be able to recapture the f-pawn.] 20...Rd8 Black correctly figured out that the series of captures that would result in him being down a piece after 20...fxe5 21.Bxe8 exf4 22.Bxd7 fxg3 23.Bxc6] 21.Qh6 Again white is winning if he plays exf6. 21...Rf7 This time Black could safely play fxe5. Instead, worried about the defense of g7 he allows white to win the Exchange. 22.Qf4 fxe5 23.Qg4 White misses one more time to win the Exchange. Black only allows his opponents a few opportunities. 23...Rf4 24.Bf7+ White must have thought he was conquering the g7 square. 24...Qxf7 A move late, a bishop short. Black wins. |
