Been involved a bit in the training of young (17) Swedish talent, Emanuel Berg.
A summertrip to Hungary gave him the final IM-norm and a ELO-raise from
2345 to 2448. In Budapest it happened:
White: Berg Black: Feher (2390)
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Ndb5 d6 7.Bf4 e5
8.Bg5 a6 9.Na3 b5 10.Bxf6 gxf6 11.Nd5 f5 12.g3 (A bit unusual in Svesnikov-
but not bad) 12.-fxe4 13.Bg2 Be6 14.Bxe4 Rc8 (maybe Bg7 is better)
15.c3 Bg7 16.Qd3! Ne7 17.Nxe7 Qxe7 18.Rd1 b4 19.Nc2 bxc3 20.bxc3 Qc7
And now Berg played 21.0-0! (intending 21.-Bc4 22.Qf3 Bxf1 23.Kxf1 Qxc3
24.Ne3 with tremendous compensation for the exchange. The white squares are
like open highways.)
Question arises: Is there any computerprogram that can see the danger in
abandoning the white squares in such positions?
After 21.0-0 the game continued 21.-Qxc3 22.Qxd6 Qc5 23.Ne3 Qxd6
24.Rxd6 Bxa2(?) 25.Nf5 Kf8 26.Rfd1 Re8 27.Bc6 Be6 28.Rd8 1-0
