Position after:

(875553) tate - fishbein [B89]
[Rohde]

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bc4 e6 7.Be3 a6 8.Qe2 Qc7 9.0-0-0 Be7 10.Bb3 Na5 11.g4 b5 12.g5 Nxb3+ 13.Nxb3








A novelty not likely to be repeated soon. It turns out that White's knights become targets for Black's racing queenside pawns. After 13 axb3 Nd7, Velimirovic's line 14 Nf5 exf5 (check out the wild 14 ... b4 15 Nxg7+ Kf8 16 Qh5 as in Wahls - Rechlis, Bern 1990) 15 Nd5 Qd8 16 exf5 is usually given as equal after 16 ... Bb7!!; therefore, it has been supplanted by 14 h4 b4 15 Na4 (against Hellers at Reykjavik 1990, Defirmian experimented with 15 Na2 a5 16 Nb5). 13...Nd7 14.f4 b4 In this position the knight has no good retreat square, as the queen is using e2, and 15 Na4?? Qc6 cannot be done. 15.Nb1 a5 16.N1d2 Ba6 17.Qg2 Rc8 18.Nf1 a4 19.Nd4 Nc5








Every Black move gains time and hammers away at the sensitive light squares. 20.Ng3 b3 21.Kb1 bxc2+ 22.Nxc2 Nd3 23.Bc1 0-0 24.f5 Nxc1 25.Rxc1 Bxg5 26.Rcd1 Rb8 27.a3 Rxb2+ 28.Kxb2 Rb8+ 29.Nb4 Bf6+ 30.Kb1 Qc3 31.Qa2 Bc4








A very efficient performance by Fishbein. 0-1
