Game analysis

1) Carlsen,Magnus - Vishwanathan,Anand [D47]
Super GM Morelia/Linares (3), 24.02.2007
[NAVALGUND,NIRANJAN]
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Nf3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5 8.Bd3 Bd6!? Anand choses unpoular line. This move was popular in 90's but afterwards it lost its popularity.... 9.0–0 0–0 10.b3 A very good idea by white where the bishop on c1 is well placed on b2 which controls the very important long diagonal 10...Bb7 11.Bb2 a6 Threatning c5 with counterplay 12.Ne4 [RR 12.a4 b4 13.Ne4 Nxe4 14.Bxe4 f6 15.Bd3 c5 16.Rc1 cxd4 17.Nxd4 Rc8 18.Qe2 Rxc1 19.Rxc1 Qa8 20.f3 Rc8 21.Bc4 Nc5 22.Rd1 Be5 1/2–1/2 Savchenko,S (2512)-Boudre,J (2327)/Marseille 2005/EXT 2006] 12...Nxe4 13.Bxe4 Nf6N In this position after 13.Bxe4 black can also play f5 with nimzo-indian classical structure, for the refernce of this variation there is a game played by Murugan as white against gunaskearan of india, where white won the game... [RR 13...f5 14.Bc2 c5 15.dxc5 Nxc5 16.b4 Ne4 17.Bb3 Qe7 18.a3 Kh8 19.Qe2 Ng5 20.Nxg5 Qxg5 21.f4 Qe7 22.Rad1 Rad8 23.Qf2 Bb8 24.Qg3 Bd5 25.Bxd5 exd5 26.Rd3 Rd7 27.Rfd1 Rfd8 28.Bd4 Murugan,K (2390)-Gunasekaran,K (2265)/Chennai 2004/CBM 098 ext/1–0 (59)] 14.Bc2 c5 As asumed c5 is right move here! 15.dxc5 Bxc5 Now the middlegame begins! So here white has to make some plans Magnus played 16.Ng5 but i think Qe2 with Rfd1 then e4 and pressing black by e5! with attacking chances for white is better. 16.Ng5 Qxd1 17.Raxd1 Here, there are two important open files, d and c. So Rfxd1 is a good reply as Rad1 will lose a tempo again because c file is also equally important If, Now the rook is on a1 and will directly occupy c file by Rc1 when necessary then there is absolutely no problem for white! 17...Kh8! setting up a trap! i hope you recognise what happens if white takes on f6 followed by Nh7. 18.g3 THIS MOVE HAS AN ADVANTAGE AND ALSO HAS AN DISADVATNAGE. THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT NOW WHITE THREATENS TO GRAB A PAWN ON H7, THE DISADVANTAGE IS THAT BY THIS MOVE WHITE WEAKENS HIS WHITE SQUARES, THE BLACK'S BISHOP ON B7 IS POWERFUL AND WILL OCCUPY F3 AS ANAND DID IN THE GAME! [18.Bxf6 gxf6 19.Ne4 LEADS TO EQUAL POSITION(19.Nxh7 Rg8 20.g3 Kg7 simple! Is'nt it?) ] 18...h6 19.Bxf6 hxg5 20.Bb2 [20.Bxg5 f6 21.Bf4 (21.Bh4 g5 trapping bishop 22.Rd7 Bf3) 21...e5] 20...Rac8 Now white has to occupy the c file by this we understand that 17.Rad1 was wrong 21.Rc1 Rfd8 22.Rfd1 Bf3 So this is because of the move g3!? 23.Rxd8+ Rxd8 24.a3 IN THIS POSITION BLACK HAS A GOOD BISHOP WHEREAS WHITE HAS A BAD 24...b4 25.a4 f5 26.Kf1 f4! RIight time for the pawn to destroy white;s king safety and pawn structure, here f4 is the best move which wins the game quite comfortabley 27.Be4 DOES NOT SAVE THE DAY 27...Bxe4 28.Rxc5 Rd1+ 29.Ke2 Rb1 WHITE'S PAWN IN WHITE COLOUR SQUARE!!. IN THIS GAME MANY EXCHANGES TOOK PLACE FOR WHICH BLACK GOTAGREATINITIATIVE 30.Bc1 f3+ 31.Kd1 Rxb3 32.Rc4 Bd3 33.Rc8+ not so much disturbing! 33...Kh7 34.e4 Rb1 35.Kd2 Bxe4 36.Ke3 Bd5 37.Bd2 Rb3+ 38.Kd4 Rb2 39.Be3 Re2 40.Rc1 Ba2 ! THE FINAL TOUCH IN THIS GAME BLACK WON ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS STRONG BISHOP WHICH WAS WELL PLACED ON F3 LATER FINISED OFF ALL THE IMPORTANT PAWNS OF WHITE'S KINGDOM...... IN THIS GAME WHITE MADE 2 INACCURATE MOVES WHICH COSTED HIM WHOLE GAME! 17.Rad1 and g3. So with this analysis i finish my comments. Bye and enjoy chess Thank you Line

Game Analysis And Birthday Wishes to P.Negi

THIS IS ANOTHER GAME BETWEEN 2 VERY STRONG CHESS GRANDMASTERS, WHITE IS MICHAEL KRASENKOW FROM POLEN AND BLACK IS PARIMARAJAN NEGI FROM DELHI, INDIA.
THIS GAME IS FROM CORUS WIZK AAN ZEE 2007 GROUP C.

ANALYSIS BY NIRANJAN.C.NAVALGUND
W: MICHAEL KRASENKOW POLEN
B: PARIMARJAN NEGI INDIA

1.d4-d5
2.Nf3-Nf6
3.c4- Here Bf4 leads to london system, e3 to colle system , g3 to catalan.
3...dc4 Queens gambit accepted.
If black plays e6 then it is queens gambit declined where black hopes to eliminate some pieces in tartakower variation and lasker variation etc..
4.Qa4+!? The main line here is e3.
Actually Krasenkow plays e3, but i think to deviate negi from his favourite lines to other he played Qa4+
4...Nc6 (c6 was also another good alternative)
5.Nc3-e6 The idea behind this blacks move is to play Nb4.
6.Qc4 -Nb4 As thought.
7.Qb3-c5 This is normal response in Queens gambit accepted
8.dc5- avoiding tensions in the centre.
8...Bc5
9.Bg5- 0-0
10.e3-Nbd5
11.Nd5-ed5. As now the black bishop on c8 has full scope and freedom.
12.Bd3-h6
13.Bf6-Qf6 equality.
14.Rc1- b6
15.o-o-Be6
16.Qc3-Qc3
17.Rc3-Rfd8 Now the only weakness in the black's territory is the d5 pawn. IQP (isolated queen pawn.)
IQP is weak in endgame but strong in middlegame-Alexander Baburin.
18.Nd4-This is necessary as now black was threatning immediate d4!.
18...Bd4
19.ed4-Rac8.
20.Rc8!? Here Rac1 with the idea of Rc7 was better for which black has to take on c3 and white will take on c3 and now Rc8 with slight advantage for white.
But white's immediate capture on c8 gave black good chances
21.f3 This prevents intrusion on e4 and also has the idea of g4 any time.
Now white's d4 pawn is not weak as it cannot be attacked now.
21... Kf8 Black has to bring his king in the battle field
as "King is a master piece in the endgame"
22.g4-h5 Here white should not take on h5 as it is not good because of Ke7 and Rh8.
Always keep in mind , "Too much eating is bad for health"
23. h3 hxg4 24. hxg4 g5 25. Kg2 Kg7 26. Re1 Rh8 27.Kg3 Kf6 28. Rc1 Rc8 29. Rh1! You see how white seized the open h file from black.
29... Rg8 30. Kf2 Kg7 31. Rh7+ Kf6 32. Ke3 Ke7 33. Kd2
33...Rc8 34. Ba6 Rg8 35. Rh5 Bd7 36. Rh6 Rg6 37. Rh8 b5 38. Bb7 Rb6 39. Bxd5 Rd6 40.
Be4 Rxd4+ 41. Ke3 Ra4 42. a3 b4! is played with the intension that if white plays
43. Bc2 then Ra5 and now if 44. axb4 then Ra2! which will save the day. THis happened in the game.
game continues:
45. Kd4 Rxb2 46. Kc3
46....Ra2 47. Bb3 Ra1 48. Kb2 Rf1 49. Bd5 Kd6 50. Rd8 Kxd5 51. Rxd7+ Kc4 52. Rxf7
Kxb4 53. Rxa7 Rxf3 54. Rg7 Rf2+ 55. Kc1 Kc3 56. Kd1 Kd3 57. Ke1 Ra2 58. Rxg5
Ke3 59. Kf1 Kf3 60. Rf5+ Kxg4 1/2-1/2
Game drawn
Well done Negi
Happy Belated Birthday. :) :):):)

Game Analysis And Birthday Wishes to P.Negi

This game is between two very good players from corus wizk aan zee 2007,
Hou Yifan is white and P.Negi is black.

W:Hou Yifan
B:P.negi.

1.e4-e5
2.Bc4-Nf6
3.d3-Nc6
4.Nc3-Na5 The Vienna without f4.
5.Ne2-Bc5!? is not a main line . Main line is Nc4 and then Bc5
6.o-o-d6
7.h3-o-o
8.a4-Nc4
9.dc4-Be6
10.Qd3-Nd7
11.Ng3- Now white's plan is to play Nd5 Ne3 and Nf5 building a strong attack.
11....Qh4 this move will help black for further tactics!
12.Nd5-Rac8
13.b4-c6! Now the complication starts:
14.c3! Good decision , now if white takes on c5 black will have good atttacking chances. IF
14.bc5-Nc5!
Queen moves and black will take on d5 with good attacking chances

14....a5 trying to complicate with tactics
15.Rb1-ab4
16.cb4-Bd4 centralizing bishop.
17.Ne3! Now white threatens Nf5.
17....g6 which is necessary and i hope you all know the kings indian defence where white attcks on queenside and black attacks on kingside with f5.
18.a5-Nf6
19.Bd2?! Bb2 is also bad because of c5. Here 19.Nc2 was better with slight advantage for white, it also prevents black's immediate d5!
19...d5! After this Black has all the keys to open the golden door!
20.ed5-cd5
21.c5-Ne4
22.Ne4-de4
23.Qe2-f5 Black in an aggressive mood
24.Nc2-Bd5
25.Ne3-Ba2
26.Ra1? At least Rc1 would have prolonged.
26...-Be6 Black's two bishops are very dangerous and he does not want to give his bishop for the unactive rook.
27.Ne5-f3!
28.Nf3-Rf3!! Brilliant shot.
Completely finished
i hope you see what happens if white takes on f3 .
28...Rf3
If 29.ef3 then Qg3+
30.Kh1-Qh3+
31.Kg1-ef3 forcing mate

29.Rae1-Rcf8! Smart Killer.
30.Be3-Be5
31.gf3-ef3.

White Resigned. :(

Well Done P.Negi!!
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NEGI
