(1) Gurevich,M (2641) - Junior 7,P [A13] Corinth, 15.05.2002 [Frederic] 1.c4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.g3 dxc4 4.Qa4+ Nd7 5.Qxc4 a6 6.Bg2 c5 7.Qb3 Ngf6 8.0-0 Qc7 9.d3 b5 10.Bf4 Bd6 This has turned into a Catalan, not a bad opening against the computer. Sven: Gurevich will win. 11.Bxd6 Qxd6 12.a4 Bb7 13.axb5 Bd5 14.Qc3 axb5 15.Rxa8+ Bxa8 16.Qa5 0-0 [ 16...0-0 17.Qxb5 Rb8 Nogal] 17.Na3 Rb8 Time: 42 - 31 [ 17...Rb8 18.Nxb5 Qb6] 18.Nxb5 Qb6 19.Qxb6 Rxb6 20.Nc3 Rxb2 21.Rc1 Kf8 Schlaf: White is very slightly better, but Junior will hold. [ 21...Kf8 22.Ne5 Bxg2 23.Nc4 Rb3 24.Kxg2 GTiger +0.16] 22.Nh4 Nd5 Arif: the c5 pawn is one weakness. White must find a second point of attack. 23.Nxd5 Roy: Once Black's pawn is gone from e6, White's knight can go to f5. Time: 28 - 28. 23...Bxd5 24.Kf1 g6 Junior: -0.75 (= 3/4 pawn for Black) 25.Nf3 h6 Junior: -0.96 26.Ne1 Ke7 27.Nc2 f5 28.Ne3 Roy: Black has more space; white has better pawn structure. Olaf: And as Black's king is well centralised he should be OK 28...Kd6 29.Ra1 Time: 20 - 25 29...Nb6 30.Ke1 Olaf: c4 is F7 suggestion and I think it is the best move! 30...Bxg2 31.Nxg2 g5 32.Ne3 Ke5 33.Rc1 Kd4 34.Nc2+ Kd5 35.Ne3+ Kc6 36.Kf1 h5 37.f3 Rb4 38.Kf2 f4 39.gxf4 gxf4 40.Ng2 Arif: Now White has given Black the second weak point, the h pawn. 40...Nd5 41.Rc2 e5 42.Rc1 Rb2 43.Nh4 Times: 12 - 18 43...Nb4 44.Rd1 Kd6 45.Ng2 Ke6 46.Kf1 Nc2 Junior: -2.20 47.Rc1 Kd5 48.Rd1 Nd4 49.Re1 Ke6 50.Kf2 Kf6 51.Kf1 Ra2 52.Kf2 Kg5 Time: 5 - 11 53.Kf1 Rc2 54.h3 Kf6 55.Nh4 Rb2 56.Ng2 Kf5 57.Nh4+ Kg5 58.Ng2 Kf6 59.Nh4 Ra2 60.Ng2 Kf5 61.Nh4+ Kg5 62.Ng2 Roy: To avoid repitition, Junior will stumble onto the correct plan. Schlaf: In my view black must play first h4 and the Nd4-f5-g3 , when the white king in on f2. At this stage Gurevich claimed a three-fold repetition, and the arbiter had to verify. It was not a repetition and Black won the game. 0-1
