Nov-04-08 G Mahia vs Larsen, 2008
| |
|
ksadler: It is extremely interesting that Larsen opens his kingside as quickly as possible in every game. Perhaps he was forced to play in this and didn't want to? Doubtful that he'll get invited back. Or maybe some of his opponents needed GMs in the tournament to get norms or something?

|
ksadler: TheaN is right...that is a gambit that is normally used after Black already moves his d-pawn (see Spielmann vs S Landau, 1933 for a great example!)

| |
|
ksadler: I don't understand 34. Nh3. Unless he was trying to blockade the pawn, but 34. Ng4 and then centralizing his knight is a better idea I think.

|
ksadler: An unbelievable game! Great confidence by Shabalov to play that long without his queen and his king exposed!

|
ksadler: I agree Ulhumbrus...9. .. a5 seems a little premature. I prefer in this line to work in the middle as well with either 9. .. e5 or 9. .. f5.

| |
|
ksadler: What's the big deal? I'd recommend .. e6 here or even .. d5. The thing people have to remember about the fianchetto is that it is a long-term strategy. If the center is closed until about move 20 it is ok! An example is: Ljubojevic vs Alburt, 1990 (a very messy game for both sides).

|
ksadler: I find this line difficult to play as Black. I prefer 9. .. e5 or 9. .. f5 to get some more counterplay as Black.
