Mar-09-13		lost in space: I am planing to analyse this game in a few steps. This here is only about the early opening. What can be said is that White plaid the opining very sloppy. click for larger view Here the most popular move is 6. Bb5 with the following sequence to follow: Opening Explorer Here it seems that 11...f5 is the move to be analyzed deeper, otherwise White has better chances. The way white played in this game... 5. exd5 Qxd5 6. Nxc6 Qxd1 7. Kd1 bxc6 ....leads to a position with only very small white advantage - if there is any. Only point is the isolated black c pawn which seems to be o.k. for black having in mind the reduced material click for larger view If white would like to play 5. exd5 Qxd6 the move 6. Be3 is a more ambitious, leading to positions with good chances for white to get advantage. Opening Explorer More to come later

Mar-09-13		lost in space: BTW, following the line 5. exd5 Qxd5 6. Be3 you reach this nice game Rubinstein vs Nimzowitsch, 1923 as well as this one J Mullon vs T Todorov, 2001 Both of them with the need to analyze them deeper.

Mar-09-13		lost in space: After 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 d5 5. exd5 Qxd5 6. Nxc6 Qxd1 7. Kxd1 bxc6 8. Be2 Bf5 9. Be3 we reach this position click for larger view with a lot of good options for Black: 9...Nf6; 9...e6 and even 9...e5 are o.k., but 9...0-0-0 (played) was risky - but fitting Junge's style to play for a win also with Black. White is a bit better after either 10. Kc1 (played) or 10. Nd2. White lost his (small) advantage already a few moves later; 10. Kc1 Kb7 11. Nc3?! Better was 11. Nd2 with the plan to move the knight to the key square c4 (were he is better placed compared to 11. Nc3) For example 11. Nd2 e5 12. Nc4 click for larger view Here the result of a deeper analyze of this position with shredder 12 (d=20): A: +0,12; 12...f6 13. Rd1 Rxd1 14. Kxd1 Ne7 15. Na5 Kc7 16. Bxa7 Nd5... B: +0,45 12...Rd5 13. a4 Nf6 14. a5 a6 15. f3 Be7 16. Ra4 Re8... C: +0,60; 12...e4 13. Na5+ Kc7 14. a4 Nf6 15. Nc4 Ra8 16. Bf4+ Kb7 17. a5 After 11. Nc3 (played) shredder gives a -0,15 already

Mar-09-13		lost in space: After a few inaccuracies (especially 13..Be7 instead of 13...Bb4) we reach this position after 16. Nxd5 click for larger view My first though would be 16..cxd5 to get rid of the weak c6 pawn, but after 17. Rd1 d4 18. Bxd4 exd4 19. Rxf5 and 1:0 So: 16...Rxd5 was forced. The next moves are good from both sides, especially the king maneuver from white (moves 21,22) : Kc1-d2-e3 is found also from shredder The position after 25...Rhe8 is better for white; all difficulties are coming from the move 9...0-0-0 click for larger view Shredder gives a +0,7 and recommends to play 26. Rdd5 R5e7 27. Rbc5+ Kb8 26. Rd6 Re5 29. Rcd5 Kc7 30. c5 Rxd5 31. Rxd5 After the chosen move 26. Rbd5 the game is = (+0,13) - but only if Black avoid the exchange of rooks; for example 26...g6 27. g3 f5 etc. After 26...Rxd5 27. cxd5 Kd6 28. Rc1! (instead of the weaker 28. Kd4 (played)) click for larger view white has advantage. Deeper analyze of this position to follow

Mar-09-13		lost in space: click for larger view (hypothetical position after 28. Rc1!) shredder 12, d=22) A: +0,61; 28...Bd7 29. Rb1! Kxd5 30. Rb7 Be6 31. Rxa7 Rc8 32. Kd2 Rc5 33. Rb7 Ra5 34. Rb4+ Rxb5 35. Bxb5 Kc5 36. a7 Bd5 37. Be8 click for larger view B: +0,81; 28...Kxd5 29. Bb5! Rf8 30. Rc7 Be6 31. Rxa7 Rc8 32. Rb7 click for larger view C: +0,88; 28...f5 29. Rc6+ Kxd5 30. Rc7 g5 31. Rxa7 click for larger view In other words: 28. Rc1 and the key pawn a7 is in danger to get lost. After 28. Kd4? the position swings from advantage white to advantage Black (-0,23) and can be seen as !the! mistake of white

Mar-09-13		lost in space: Already a few moves later Black is much better: 28. Kd4? Re5 29. Bc4 Bxa6! and the white kew pawn on a6 is lost. (30. Bxa6? Rxd5+) click for larger view and from here it is going down with white. After move 37 his position is completely lost (-2,3) click for larger view Rest of the game is agony. Resignation would be an alternative. Nice turnaround game.
