| jaime gallegos: read what Carlsen said about this game on chessbase.com ( it appears today )
Magnificent Magnus, the world's youngest grandmaster
30.04.2004 Two days ago a participant at the Dubai Open made his final GM norm with a performance of 2678. This news electrified the chess world because the player in question was just 13 years old. Magnus Carlsen of Norway is now the youngest GM in the world. He is also a bright and highly eloquent kid, as you can see in this remarkable in-depth interview....HO: Of all your games, with which one are you most happy?
Magnus: I do not have one particular game that stands out yet. But I was very happy with my 19-move victory against Sergei Dolmatov in Moscow (Aeroflot Open). I never thought it could be so easy to beat a player rated almost 2600. |

| Everett: Refutor, I'm guessing you're not a fan of the Reti. Why you think Nf3 is junk compared to other first moves is beyond me... or are you saying that everything after this very sensible move played by Smyslov, Petrosian, Capablanca and even a computer-book-avoiding Kasparov is junk? |

| ughaibu: Isn't it a Philidor's defense? |

| acirce: <Everett> I think he said <1.Nf3 followed by junk>, that is, 1. Nf3 in itself is not junk. |

| refutor: exactly...i play 1.Nf3 myself, i believe that 2.d3 played against the dutch is junk, no matter how young my oppponent is ;) |
|

| tacticsjokerxxx: 1.Nf3 is good. 2.d3 is junk! (so is 2.-d6?) the d- and f pawns should be left alone until the middlegame, 2.c4 is better. |

| Ian McGarrett: ... not to undermine Carlsen's achievement in this game but I always thought of Dolmatov as a weak 2600. |

| Everett: 2.d3 in this situation is not junk at all. Being able to push e4, or simply taking away e4 as an outpost for the knight in the Dutch while maintaining harmonious development as white makes perfect sense. It certainly puts Dutch players in uncomfortable positions which they are not used to. Further, Kosten in his book on the English, states that preparing e4 with d3 is a very effective strategy against the Dutch. In that opening, though, c4 would be played instead, or at least before Nf3. |

| Poisonpawns: This game is a Lisitsin gambit with d3 added early.Here is regular lisitsin:1.Nf3 f5 2.e4 fxe4 3.Ng5 d5 4.d3 Here Magnus simply prepares the e4 with d3, so it is tricky of course 2.d3 is a slight waste of time so black must play 2.d5 or Nf6 |

| InspiredByMorphy: 10. ...b5? is weak. I liked blacks play up until this move. I think 10. ...d5 was much stronger. |

| Willem Wallekers: "Great commentary to this game, by Lubosh Kavalek : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy... " It also explains what is wrong with 10 ... d5. |

| Aiuta: .Bc4! (Carlsen's new idea, preventing short castling.) 9...c6 10.Bg5 b5 (Black can't blunt the range of the bishop on c4 with 10...d5 because after 11.0-0-0 Be7 [11...dxc4 12.Qe5+ Qe7 13.Qxf5 is even worse] 12.Rhe1 0-0 13.Qe5 white's pressure is too strong.) 11.Bb3 Be7 12.0-0-0 Qd7 13.Rhe1 (White developed his pieces extremely well and is threatening to take twice on f6.) 13...Kd8?! (The black king can't find peace, but it is hard to combat white's fire power. After 13...0-0-0 14.g4! Bxg4 15.Rxe7! decides.) Kavalek |

| Poisonpawns: Black has to play 2...D5 or 2..Nf6 to avoid this line, it is way to strong!It is a super Lisitsin Gambit! |
|

| Weadley: Why is this a win. help me out here. |
|

| maoam: <Weadley>
Because Black cannot recapture the piece after 17.Nxf6: if 19...gxh4 20.Nxd5 wins the rook on h8. |

| Poisonpawns: Games like this are the reason i stopped playing 1...f5 dutch,Out of 10 dutch defenses i play I am luck to get 3 main lines out of them.Usually I always get anti-dutch systems 2.Bg5,2,Nc3 2.g4 etc etc too much preparation needed to play the 1..f5 in the dutch.I now switch my allegiance to the Old Indian and budapest ! |

| Everett: I see no one responded with any improvements for black even though they think 2.d3 is an inferior move. I stated white's case in my last post. Carlsen makes a statement of his own. By move 9, look at white's control of the d5 square, his easy development, the ability to castle. All much better than black. When black defends d5 with c6, white just pounces on new weakness on d6. Excellent chess. |

| siggemannen: i think nowadays 2.d3 is considered a refutation to the move order Nf3 f5 |
|
| Sep-03-07 |
| Poisonpawns: 8..c6 is the correct move not 8..Nf6 then Bc4 is not an issue.As in Lerner-Bareev Ussr Ch (Kiev)1986.8..c6 9.Bd3 (if Bc4? d5)Bxd3 10.Qxd3 Nf6 11.0-0 Be7 12.Ne2 d5 13.Nd4 Qd7 14.Bg5 0-0 with complete equality. So I dont think 2.d3!? is a refutation but a move that black has to play accurately against. After 8..Nf6?! Bc4! was indeed very powerful,but 8..c6 and i think black is ok. |

 |
| egilarne: The great expert GM Stefan Kindermann proposes 8...c6 9.Bf4! in his book on the Leningrad variation (2005), page 182: "The position arising after 9 Bf4 does not exactly inspire confidence, from the black point of view, as the two games played and some analytical material show. The insecure position of the black king and the weakness of the central squares are a source of constant anxiety." |

| midknightblue: <refutor> I know that you know your stuff. Nevertheless, thought I would mention that in Neil McDonalds recent book "Chess Success:planning after the opening" he cover this game and says that 2.d3 is "a shrewd move to take his opponent out of the typical dutch pawn structure that arises after 2.d4 Nf3..." I don't know these systems as well, since I usually answer Nf3 with Nf6 and I don't play 1Nf3 as white. However, I thought McDonald's comments seemed sensible. By junk, do you mean waste-basket of openings that aren't well defined or junk as in bad? If so is there any concrete analysis? |

| returnoftheking: There is an entire chapter on this opening in Nic's SOS series, volume 1; where they call it the improved Lisitsin gambit like <poisonpanws> above indicated.
Coincidentally; SOS volume 1 was published not long before this game was played! I guess "patzer books" are sometimes useful even to GM's. |

| returnoftheking: This one Korchnoi vs Dolmatov, 1999 is for the dude above who thinks Dolmatov is lost in unknown positions.. |

| beenthere240: The Latvian declined 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. d3 can make the black player think that he's going to have it easy, but it ain't necessarily so. |
