From the moment Ruslan Ponomariov played the important theoretical novelty
16 Qe4!? against Boris Gelfand at the European Team Championship in Plovdiv,
developments in this variation of the Slav Defense [D17] came along very
quickly. Soon P. H. Nielsen played 18 Rfc1! against Shirov during the Bundesliga
and improved White’s game so much that the move was selected as the most
important theoretical novelty of Chess Informant 90.
Now we have Informant 92 in our hands with the game L. Johannesen – Shirov,
which was also played during the Bundesliga, where White proved the advantage of
his position even further with 18 Nb5!!±. It is interesting that this
continuation was recommended by P. H. Nielsen himself and we have a feeling that
the winning novelty of Chess Informant 92 is the final word in this continuation
of the Slav Defense [D17].
