nummerzwei: <Ulhumbrus: <nummerzwei> Black plays actually 66...Kh5 and not 66...Kh6. Furthermore following the move ..Bc1, with White's K on e4, Black's b pawn can queen with check.> To be quite honest, I have no idea what position you are referring to.In any case I've made a ...

| |
|
nummerzwei: <ROO.BOOKAROO: 6....Bf8>:
That's what Black played 5...Re8 for. On a another day he may well have played 5...d5 6.a3 Be7.
6...Ba5 loses material in a way you should figure out yourself. 6...BxNc3 is a standard move in the NID, but here Black can neither force doubled ...

| |
|
nummerzwei: Black, though a decent player, obviously wasn't ready for 3...f5. He should have played either 5.BxNc6 or the convoluted 7.Nc3!?. At move 10, Black already has a great deal of advantage. It's pleasing to see how Karpov finishes his opponent off with a number of clever moves.

nummerzwei: <zorro: Why is 5...Bd6 never played instead of 5...Nbd7? Black could postpone Nbd7 in favour of 0-0, for instance, with 5...Bd6 and 6...0-0 aiming at normal main line but sidestepping among others 5...Nbd7 6. Qc2 Bd6 7. g4. But since this is never played I suspect there must ...

nummerzwei: <notyetagm:
thepesimist: maybe it was because of his terrible performance last year Any explanation for Aronian's *terrible* winless(!) -4 last year at M-Tel? +0 =6 -4(!) from Aronian!!
