So, Tony got the right to make the first move, And he rolled out his steel horse from the garage, to the envy of his rivals and neighbors. Walter replies with move C5, creating a symmetrical variation of the English opening on the board. After the move, the knights reach six, Mells plays knight C3. Black plans to place a pawn in the center. The whites are also advancing toward this objective. Brown completes the mobilization of the cavalry, And with a move order change, it becomes the classical Tartakower Defense. Anthony's move to square C5 seemingly helps the opponent develop. but on the next move, using the advanced position of the bishop, Intends to seize space on the queenside and develop the bishop to an open diagonal. This idea can often be seen in the accepted Queen's Gambit, but only with a change of color. Meanwhile, Walter is making a window for the elephant, The white one completes his intention, Black leads the king to a place that seemed safe. Anthony is dragging the rook to the file, which may open up later. Well, and probably to slightly disappoint this little boat, and also ask a few unpleasant questions of the king who lingered in the center, Brown is concealing the move by advancing the queen's pawn. Well then, it's obvious we have to change. Mels expands territorial conquests, felling the enemy's elephant and later may create a passed pawn along the c-file. The rook on square c1, according to Siegbert Tarrasch, will assist this pawn in advancing toward queening. Moreover, the black knight is under attack. Well, strange as it may seem, almost the only move possible, which allows them to maintain their position within the framework of equality This is a pawn sacrifice via e5. If black takes, they pin the knight. Now white must also exercise a certain care. You must move the knight to E2, attacking the black knight. Taking advantage of the fact that hitting E2 is bad, because the white pieces exchange queens, then capture on e2 and remain with an extra pawn in the endgame. But instead of taking on e2, Black can break through to e5. After the move of the piece according to Tila Uncle 5. And considering the white king's unguarded position, Black has sufficient compensation for the lost pawn here. In our own match, the American grandmaster, Unaware of the danger, he innocently moves to f3. Next, it addresses the issue of employment for the white-pole worker. Planning to attack to C5 in case of taking on square B7. If the white player captures the bishop, then Black plays Rook b8. It invades the queenside pawn chain with a rather unpleasant position for White. But in the party, the chess rock 'n' roller He didn't even bother to look in the direction of that pitiful pawn. Creating a position known in chess as the "Gurvitz bishops." These are elephants located on adjacent diagonals. carrying out a powerful enfilade bombardment of the enemy camp. Brian responds by attacking the queen. Tony is closing with a horse, threatening to capture on f6 with check, winning a pawn. Given this, Walter moves to square E4. and here for the safety of his king Black should have traded a pair of knights for those pawns on e6 and f7. Of course, the whites are better. They may soon create a passed pawn on the b-file. While the black pawn majority on the king's flank It's not going anywhere for now. But, as the saying goes, it was the lesser of two evils. In our match, the American grandmaster Connects the rooks to each other. It was still not too late to exchange bishops after the short castling. Instead, Walter plays the rook to D8. exposing oneself to an epic combination of a chess rock-and-roller. He offers his opponent one elephant. after taking, announces check and launches another fiery arrow In the chamber of the Black King. Threatens checkmate in one move. The resistance could be adjusted by moving the F5 lever. Although White is checkmating along the eighth rank here, It breaks through on square F8. and it turns out that taking the rooks is not allowed, due to the loss of the Queen. If, however, the black player defends the strongest piece, Then the white piece gives check from square g7. changes to C7 and gains an extra pawn and two pawns in the endgame. But in our duel, Apparently unwilling to spoil such magnificence the senseless prolongation of the inevitable Walter took a bite at field G7.
