Analysis Center. Twice Kaidanov found himself on the Black side of a Reti. In his last round game, where a win would have tied for first, Kaidanov
attempted to play a Queen's Gambit Accepted, but Alburt refused to push his d-pawn two squares: 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e3 e6 4. Bxc4 c5 5. O-O Nf6 6. Qe2 a6 7. a3 b5 8. Ba2Bb7 9. a4 Nbd7 10. Na3 bxa4 11. Nc4 Be7 12. d3
Nd5 Clearly, Black has a fine game here, but after 13. Bb1 Bc6 14. Bc2 O-O 15.Bd2 N5b6 16. e4 Nxc4 17. dxc4 Bf6 18. Bc1, Kaidanov played 18 ... Qa5? overlooking the trick 19. e5! with the point 19 ... Bxf3 20 Qd3!
g6 21 exf6; after 19 ... Be7 20. Bd2 Qc7 21. Bc3, Alburt had a large advantage and went on to win in 48 moves. Earlier in the event, Kaidanov fared better against Igor Ivanov, with this system - 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4
Now Suba's 3 a3!, meant to be an improvement on 3 b4 f6, is very interesting. 3. g3 Nc6 4. Bg2 e5 5. d3 Nf6 6. 0-0 Nd7 7. Na3 Be7 Played like a Classical Benoni with colors reversed; the chances are even. 0 - 1 in
