Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-17-12  Hesam7: I guess the Black player must have been kicking himself after the game, he missed two wins against an opponent with 150 rating points more than him. The first miss happens at the 23rd move, after <23...Qc6!> (which defends against Bf6) White is lost

<24 h4 a4!> the fight is over the c4-square <25 Nc1 ab3 26 cb3 Be6 27 Nf5> nothing comes out of 27 Bf6 Bf6 28 Rf6 gf6 29 Nh5 Qc3! <27...Bf5 28 Rf5 Qe6 29 Nd3 Nbd7> the Black Knight retreats but while White still controls the c4-square the battle has underlined the fact that war is lost: White has no compensation for the pawn and the weak king <30 Nb4 g6 31 Rff1 Nh5 32 Nd5 f6 33 Bh6 Bc5! 34 Qd3 Bd4>

Black missed a second win at the 40th move, <40...Rhe2!> indirectly defending the a5-pawn, was simply winning <41 Rb5 Re4>

Unlike the game White can't take on a5 <42 Rb7 Kf8 43 Ng6 Ke8 44 Nf4 Rf2>

Over the next few moves Black wins the a-pawn and the game.

Thanks! I have been looking at <6 h3 e5 7 Nde2 h5> which is one of my favorite variations in Najdorf from Black's perspective. A few years ago I came up with it, using <6 Be3 e5 7 Nb3 Be6 8 f3 h5> as inspiration. While back then this was not played at all, over the past couple of years there has been an explosion in its use. CG has 39 games in total, 10 games in 2011 and 12 so far in 2012!

Sep-17-12  Robed.Bishop: Keep up the good work, <Hesam7>, it is appreciated.
