Dec-23-10		GilesFarnaby: I found a wonderful game of this guy against Kharlov in the QGA Nf3 with ...c5, Qa4+ and the (often considered passive and outright bad because it seemingly gives back the pawn without compensation) 5...Nc6 line, that Kharlov goes on to convert to a sharp opening with ...e5 (instead of the more common and positional ...e6; both lines are in not very high steem amongst GMs actually anyway) to exploit white�s uncordination and lack of development: [Event "Nezhmetdinov Memorial 28th"] [Site "Kazan"] [Date "2006.06.09"] [Round "9"] [White "Khismatullin, Denis"] [Black "Kharlov, Andrei"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "D23"] [WhiteElo "2584"] [BlackElo "2555"] [PlyCount "47"] [EventDate "2006.06.01"] [EventType "swiss"] [EventRounds "9"] [EventCountry "RUS"] [Source "ChessBase"] [SourceDate "2006.07.14"] 1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 d5 4. d4 dxc4 5. Qa4+ Nc6 6. dxc5 e5 7. Bg2 Bxc5 8. Nxe5 Qd4 9. Bxc6+ Ke7 10. O-O Qxe5 11. Bg2 b5 12. Qa5 Be6 13. Nc3 b4 14. Nd5+ Bxd5 15. Bf4 Bxf2+ 16. Rxf2 Qe6 17. Qxb4+ Ke8 18. Rd1 Bxg2 19. Kxg2 Qc6+ 20. Rf3 Ne4 21. Rd4 f5 22. Rxc4 Qe6 23. Re3 Kf7 24. Qb7+ 1-0

Dec-23-10		GilesFarnaby: After 7...Bxc5 (the novelty I think) click for larger view Normal is 7...Bd7 8.Qxc4, when white gets a good initiative since now is black the uncoordinated one (Bd7 blocking the queen, Bf8 with no active square to develop, e5 pawn looking clumsy, and king seemingly stuck in the center for some moves more at least) After 9...Ke7 click for larger view After 15.Bf4 click for larger view Kharlov�s intention must have seemed plausible at his home with his computer, but on the board we realize that he�s being overambitious and now black king�s in the middle of the fire and there are no good files for black�s rooks, as Kharlov has done a good job blocking them himself! To resume, Kharlov�s proposal looks exploitable with a lot of work and study, but his performance this time failed to put Khismatullin under trouble (almost no "only-moves" for him)
