S C / DTHE 13TH WORLD CHAMPION DISSECTS TOP GAMES OF MODERN CHESS

HOW TO DEFY THE SO FIA RULES IN STYLE

v ccasionally there comes a game in which both players insist on bending the rules of the chessboard to the breaking point. The physics of the game go from classical to quantum with each move defying both logic and expecta­tions. This game lasts barely thirty moves and contains enough deep forcing lines to keep a human analyst hard at work for many months.Even the computer strains to reach the depths required to pulverize this stone into the sand of perpetual check. As early as move 11 (!), long sacrificial variations appear that end in forced draws by repetition. Such opportuni­ties seem to come along virtually on every move, and are avoided until at last there is no choice but to accept the inevitable.The Sofia Rules, designed to force the players to continue to at least to move 40, would be no match for this game. And who could complain? If all draws were as action-packed as this one, fans would clamor for more! The sharp cut and thrust, and abrupt conclusion, recall Botvinnik’s first encounter with Alekhine, at Nottingham 1936, which ended in perpetual check after only 20 moves. At the time, that game was considered wildly complicated — which was true back then. Today it looks almost simple, certainly compared to this game.

G arry 's ChoiceGarry Kasparov, the 13th World Champion, needs no introduction: a truly great chess player, who has tremendously influenced the development of chess with his games, his analyses, his writings, Garry is well known everywhere. Chess Informant has had the privilege of hosting the fruits of his deep analytical work for more than thirty years, and there is no doubt that the quality of this work has greatly enriched the contents of this publication — and chess culture overall.

Several years after his retirement from professional chess, we are deeply honoured to welcome Garry back to Chess Informant! In this column, Garry’s Choice, he is annotating select games from recent practice, in his trademark style, casting his critical eye on the efforts of modem chess stars — and mere "mortals"!

The Advance. 1 occasionally played this in simuls but did not feel comfortable with it until deciding to give the "modem" version a

try against Karpov in Linares in 2001 with 4. £}c3. I won a nice attacking game and over the next few years also tried it with 4. Jle3 and 4. £}d2.

honorable pedigree. 51 years ago, Tal made it his primary weapon in the World Champion­ship rematch with Botvinnik. Tal lost two and drew three of those games but apparently nobody blamed his sharp line of the Advance Variation because it maintained some popu­larity. (Looking back over that 1961 match I find encouragement in the fact that Botvinnik was almost exactly my age today, 49, and over double the age of his opponent. Tal won an impressive five games in that match. But Botvinnik won ten!)

It is worth noting that this line was Kram­nik’s choice when he was in a must-win situ­ation against Leko in the final game of their 2004 world championship match.

4... h6

Botvinnik went back to this move in games 18 and 20 after starting with it in game 10, then trying 4... h5 and 4... c5 in games 14 and 16. I can imagine showing this game to Tal and Botvinnik, and how different their reactions

would be to all the sacrifices and casual regard for order and safety. Tal, the quantum physi­cist of the chessboard, would no doubt enjoy it and employ his favorite term, "tasty chess." Botvinnik, on the other hand, a Newtonian, would shake his head at how both players ig­nored the principles of the game.

Even when I was a world champion I had to endure that head shake of Botvinnik’s. After I beat Karpov in the Ruy Lopez in game 16 of our 1986 Leningrad World Champion­ship match.

** G. Kasparov 2740 — An. Karpov 2705, London/Leningrad (m/16) 1986 — 42/440 Page 20

Botvinnik told me, "in this game you played like Tolush!" Invoking the famous attacking master from Leningrad was not a compliment coming from Botvinnik’s lips!

Emil is always looking for a way to compli­cate as early as possible! The point is this un­common move is clear, taking f3 away from the knight before retreating the bishop to h7. Otherwise White’s e6 is too strong.[5... Ad7 The standard move, keeping the bishop out of trouble. 6. £\d2 Kramnik (6. h5 Tal’s point, but today this move competes with Kramnik’s 6. £>d2);

A rare and shocking offer a queen with dis­covered check. As usual, the computer takes some of the joy out of it by quickly an­nouncing a forced draw. Both players de­serve credit for navigating the path.

THE VERSATILITY OF THE KHIGHT

f we think of the chess pieces as individual fighters, we could abstractly consider our fa­vourite game a "team sport". Indeed, the success of most strategic or tactical operations is en­sured by a collective effort, like it happens in, for instance, football matches. After all, even such living legends as Maradona and Zidane were known as "team players".Excessive individualism is usually criticized in football and rarely succeeds in bringing posi­tive results in chess. However, there is one speciffic piece that stands apart.The knight s original way of jumping around is strongly reminiscent of the unnatural way of running and explosive change of directions that characterized Mane Garrincha, widely known as the best dribbler ever. Moreover, the knight is capable of creating weak squares in the en­emy camp and then occupying them, a versatility that beats the Brazilian s best achievements. Indeed, Garrincha gave many decisive passes and was an outstanding header himself, despite his low stature, but never at the same time, of course!I believe that the first time when I understood the multifunctionality of the knight was after seeing the following game.In the early ’90s, I played quite a bunch of Spanish tournaments shoulder to shoulder with my countryman Mihai §uba. This proved an invaluable chess school for me and his ex­planations on the present game were doubt­lessly part of it.

Every new id ea is actua lly a w ell forgotten one

There is an almost unanimous opinion that, in chess as in other fields, the beginning of the third Millenium features an explosion of information without precedent.To me, this seems a bit exagerated. I remember that as a kid I found similar statements in many of the opening monographies of the ’80s, the '70s and even of the '50s. Believe it or not, a similar infomiatic explosion is described in the introduction of the first edition of the Bilgucr, the Chess Encyclopaedia of the 19th century. There is nothing really new in life and in chess. In every game, there comes a moment when a novelty inevitably pops up, but one cannot be sure that the idea behind it has not been played before.In this column, I will try to highlight the way in which certain strategic and tactical ideas have maintained their actuality over the decades and sometimes centuries. Remarkably, the modem interpretation not always is more accurate than the classical one.I invite you to re-discover together well forgotten ideas from the past.

11... £}b4! The central remark from §uba’s confessions to me after the game was that this method of play was described by Alekhine: the knight provokes the weakening move a2-a3, in order to later jump to a5 and put pressure on the white queenside. 12. i l b l Hc8 13. H dl He8 14. £\e5 As we will see, the advanced position of the knight will later force White to weaken even more squares. However, at the present time this move is necessary. [Indeed, after 14. a3 £\c6 (intending ...£>a5) 15. cd5 Black can safely answer 15... £>d5l J lf8 15. a3 16. cd5 White needs to release the tension. [If he consolidates his d4-pawn with16. ®e3, Black can develop his initiative with 16... £\a5 17. Aa2 £\d7 when the b3- and c4-pawns would be under strong pres­sure.] 16... ed5 [The point behind 14. £ie5 is that 16... £id5? loses to 17. Ah7! <4>h7 18. m 5 <&g8 19. W fl 20. © b 7 + -l 17. Af5 Sc7

b4 A convenient solution at this stage of the game, but in the long run the weakness of the c4-square may tell. 18... Hce7 Forcing the weakening of the e4-square as well. 19. f4

We can summarize the consequences of the knight jump to b4. White’s position looks more active, but he has no clear targets yet. At the same time, the weakness of his light squares cannot be repaired in any way and of­fers Black good prospects in the long run.19... g6 20. A c2 Wd6 21. A b3 A g l 22. T O £\d8!?

Black has occupied one of the weak central squares in full comfort. White may have hoped that, since the other knight cannot get to c4 easily, his position would remain holdable. 30.

It is instructive that the knight which had indirectly provoked the gradual deterioration of the white structure delivers the decisive blow. 31. dc5 £\c5 32. Aa3 £id3 33.

MARIN’S r o l l i m i )§uba did not tell me which game of Alekhine he had in mind when making his instructive remark, but I believe that the next one is quite characteristic for what he meant.

A 84BO G O U U BO V - ALEKHINE

Hostings 1922This is regarded as one of Alekhine’s most spectacular tactical achievements. I believe that the whole preparatory strategic phase, in which the knight plays an essential part, is of no lesser interest.

At this stage of the game, the queen manoeuvre has a purely attacking purpose. However, we will notice that e8 is a key square in the fight for the light squares — see the 23rd move.13. a3 Did Bogoljubov hope to build up a queenside attack, or just simply feared the in­trusion of the enemy knight to d3 after the preliminary ...e5-e4? The second answer would be more suggestive for the main theme of our article: the knight provoked the weakening a2-a3 without even jumping to b4!Be it as it may, the way the game went, the last move proved an ¡reparable weakening of the queenside light squares. 13... # h 5 14. h4 [14. de5?! de5 15. £>e5? ^ e5 16. ®e5 £ lg4 -+ ;14. b4? e4 15. £>el 15. b5 efJ 16. ±13 4ig4 17. i lg 4 fg4 18. bc6 bc6T Marin) ab4+] £ig4 15. £ig5 [15. b4!?l ± d l 16.13 [16.

A fantastic switch from one wing to another! Because of the hanging a4-pawn, White can­not maintain his structure intact. 24.

White has to either give up control over the d5-square or let the b5-pawn advance. 28. £\dl £\d3 Alekhine refrains from the obvious capture on c4, in order not to help the enemy knight get to e5.

I will allow myself a short digression. When writing the short comment on the 32rd move, I remembered that a similar situation occured in a game of... (what a coincidence!) M. §uba!

It is curious that an experienced grandmaster like Bogoljubov fell into the same strategic trap eight years after his game against Alekhine, namely to the Russian’s predecessor on the highest throne.

The position does not promiss much of a fight, but pawn play implies many subtleties and Bogoljubov apparently was no worthy opponent for the great Cuban in this field. 15.

Preventing g4-g5 with unpleasant pressure.16. a3?! Once again, the reasons behind this move are obscure, but its effects ¡reparable in the long run.

Sometimes, the player with a knight may sac­rifice a pawn in order to create some space for this tricky piece. An instant of careless­ness made Black land into trouble in the fol­lowing famous game, played at the highest level.

Before the crucial last round of the Olympiad the situation was the following: three teams (China, Russia and us — Armenia) were tied for first, China was facing Ukraine, Russia was playing Germany and we had to over­come Hungary. At this point we had better tie-breaks, followed by Russia, so in the case of Ukraine not losing to China, we had very decent chances of winning the tournament.

MAMEDYAROV 2729 - A. VOLOKITIN 2709

Istanbul (ol) 2012

[By Andrei Volokitin]

This game was played in the penultimate round of the Olympiad and its sporting significance was enormous. Ukraine was paired against the strong team of Azerbaijan, and my oppo­nent, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, was their top scorer. My task was to neutralise their main attacking force, but the circumstances were not in my favour, as two days before I had contracted a cold.

1. d4 I was expecting this move, as it has been his constant preference recently.

1... 5}f6 2. c4 g6 While preparing for this game, I spent a lot of time trying to decide on my strategy; should I play directly for equal­ization, or choose a sharper opening, aiming for counterplay? In the end, I decided to opt for the second approach and the Gruenfeld Defence, which better suits my playing style. The downside of this decision was that Shakh himself employs this opening with Black, and consequently is fully aware of all its nuances.

3. f3 I realized that my opponent could choose any of the possible systems against the Gruen­feld, so I had to prepare for practically all of them. The one played in the game I wa re­minded of just shortly before the game.

A popular line in recent times. Black’s idea is to increase the pressure on d4 and provoke the advance of White’s centre, with the aim of attacking it later.

13. £\c3 The first moment I stopped to think. I had been analyzing both possible knight jumps, and in the end I decided to opt for the one which I had researched in greater depth. [13. dc6 Wd2 14. Hd2 Hd2 15. A d2 ab5 16.

(After19. <&al £ib7 20. h4 © d6 21. h5 A d l\ 22. £ ic5 Hdb8 Black has a simple and obvious

19... f5 After delving deeply into the position, at the cost of lots of time and energy, I under­stood that I should undertake immediate ac­tion; otherwise, my pieces would be gradually pushed back and I would end up in a difficult position.

Of course, White is objectively better, but in a practical game it is not easy to convert the material advantage. At this point I only had five minutes for the remaining twelve moves until the time control.

29. ^ b l? A serious mistake; Shakh had proba­bly relaxed at this point and made this move "with his hand”, without much thought. In­stead, White had two promising continua­tions: [The first was to involve the knight to the action with 29. ^ e 2 ®e4 30. i le l h5 31. # d l± ; Also strong was to restrict the black queen with 29.

30. Wc2 ®g4 31. Wd3 <&h8 32. ge2 My op­ponent obviously was trying to win in com­fort, without taking risks. Here he should have given up the Ah4, in order to bring his knight into the game: [32. i l e 3! # h 4 33. £}e2±]

TOP THREE16. iLg5! The fruit of home preparation. The engines do not understand this move at first, but in human terms the idea is quite clear: White creates an unpleasant pin and tries to play against the Ag6.

17. £sd2! Continuing with the plan. White wants to support his centre with the move f3, further restricting the black bishop. At this point my opponent started to spend quite a lot of time, while he had made his moves so far quite quickly.

n my career I have been using 1. d4 almost exclusively until 2011, when I started being fed up with the ever-growing theory of the Slav Defence and its various branches — this opening was becoming more and more popular, and extensively analyzed. As I had experienced some problems in Reti-type positions with the black pieces, I asked myself whether I should try these setups with the other color as well.In order to avoid the Slav main lines, my attention was particularly focussed on the "Reti Gam­bit", the topic of this article. It is a really ambitious line: White is ready to sacrifice the Ac4 for a lead in development (Black will have to spend quite some time in order to defend this extra pawn) and active positional compensation, which comprises of full control of the centre, open lines on the queenside and a powerful bishop on g2. This concept has encouraged many play­ers to try this relatively new line, leading to a surge in its popularity. Several strong grand­masters have incorporated into their repertoire, mainly as a surprise weapon, but there are even those, like Georgian GM Pantsulaia, who employ it regularly and with success.This article is dedicated to one of the most exciting branches of the "Reti Gambit Accepted", the line 7... A e6!? 8. £\g5 jLg4.1 have chosen a recent game of mine as the backbone of the ar­ticle, as this game showcases several interesting ideas, both in its course and the comments. Objectively speaking, and after hours of painstaking analysis, I have concluded that Black is doing fine in this branch of theory, particularly in the 11... h6 variation, but it takes strong nerves and good tactical skills (or a perfect memory!) to meet the challenge successfully; oth­erwise, Black’s life in this line is not easy at all!

Our focus is on this highly optimistic varia­tion. To be honest, I never thought I would face it over the board, as it looks really dan­gerous for Black. I had some ideas, though I had hardly analyzed this line in the depth it de­serves, but for this particular game I wasn’t expecting this line at all.

PIRC DEFENCEAnti-King's Indian setup

his article deals with the rare anti-King’s Indian setup 1. d4 £\f6 2. £\f3 g6 3. g3 Ag7 4. A g2 0—0 5. 0—0 d6 6. 4}c3!? While hardly a popular and critical weapon against Kasparov’s old favourite, this line is occasionally adopted by many grandmasters, with good practical re­sults. I myself started playing it ever since my friend GM Yuri Drozdovskij showed me a game of his against Sergey Zavgorodniy. It is not a common guest in my games, but on the few occa­sions that I have employed it, my results have been quite good.

What are the pros and cons of 6. £ic3, compared to 6. c4? First of all, in many lines of the Fianchetto King’s Indian the Ac4 becomes an object of attack. Secondly, White retains the op­tion of later playing c3, to limit the influence of the strong black Jlg7. Last but not least, a psy­chological factor: King’s Indian devotees are usually active players and not enticed by the slightly worse position after 6... d5.It may appear a bit strange to suggest Black to play 5... d6 and then 6 . . . d5; however, I feel that this is Black’s best option. Should he wish to explore other paths, he can choose 6... £\bd7 or6... c6, usually leading to the same position, or 6... £ic6, which however I don’t recommend. Then a Pirc-like position arises, and here it should be pointed out that, despite all the apparent similarities between the two openings, many King’s Indian fans have never played the Pire Defence before. In my opinion, this detail increases the practical chances of the players who will employ this system with White. There are, of course, some drawbacks to this approach as well. First of all, the fight for an opening advantage is usually strongly connected with fighting for space; 6. c4 is more constructive in this regard. Secondly, after 6... d5 White’s only reason­able plan is to prepare e2-e4, which in turn will lead to a simplification of the position. Also, after other moves White ends up in a relative sideline of the Pire. It is up to the reader to decide if — and when — the pros outweigh the cons, and make up his mind accordingly.Overall, this line is not sharp enough to pose Black serious problems, and he has more than one ways to obtain counterplay, but it does require accuracy of him, as well as a broader chess education in handling various typical positions. The article is based on my game against Dan­iel Naroditsky, played in the last round of the Montréal Open 2012. With 51á /S I was sole third, one point behind the leaders Lázaro Bruzón Batista and Wesley So, and half a point

70

B07 Cl U B Sahead of the chasing pack. A draw would obviously give me excellent chances for third place, so I chose the system in question in an effort to play, not directly for a draw, but solidly, espe­cially considering that the early starting time of the round did not allow me to prepare for the sharp King’s Indian lines properly.

• Peak rating: 2521

#n this article the reader can find a short overview of the 3. f3 line in the Caro-Kann Defence.

I will highlight some interesting and important games, as well as draw the reader’s attention to the nuances of both White’s and Black’s play. Naturally, it is impossible to give a final assess­ment of this system, as the amount of available material is vast and the resulting play ex­tremely rich, with plenty of ideas for either side. I suppose this is also the main reason why this3. f3 line is played more and more often, even at the highest levels: because it offers very rich and varied play, as well as great fighting chances to both sides, in relatively unexplored posi­tions.The reader may wonder about my study’s conclusion, or some kind of "final verdict": is White better, or is Black OK? Well, it seems to me that in most cases Black should be able to obtain a perfectly playable position, genuinely unclear, but the resulting positions are so rich in play and themes, in almost every single game with this line, that afford good winning prospects to the stronger, more inspired or more creative player. And this is exactly why we play this game!

1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. f3 An important crossroad. Among Black’s sev­eral options, 3... e6 and 3... g6 are the main moves, but alternatives are interesting and playable as well — perhaps even all of them! Can this be possible? Well, chess is an amaz­ing game...

he Alapin Variation of the Sicilian Defence, also known as simply the 2. c3 Sicilian, has always been very popular, even at higher levels: GMs Tiviakov, Howell, Rozentalis, Stevie and Pavasovic are few of its most devoted fans, using it with success in their games. One of its attractions is the great variety of position types that it leads to. In modem chess it is getting harder and harder to surprise opponents in the opening, and this is perhaps even more true for the 2. c3 Sicilian. Still, I would like to try and do just that! This article covers a new system for Black that has appeared in practice very recently. Its main idea is to rapidly develop the queenside (...£\c6, ...Jtf5, ...0-0-0) and quickly put pressure on the isolated pawn that may arise on d4, while the exchange of the Af5 for the £\bl is one of the key points of this line. This system is rapidly becoming popular and could well turn out to be the main theatre of theo­retical debate in the 2. c3 Sicilian in the near future. In my opinion, White’s most critical op­tion is 6. dc5, which leads to positions typical to other, similar branches of the 2. c3 Sicilian, with White having an extra pawn but having lost castling rights, and Black enjoying rapid de­velopment for his pieces.

he move 6... £\bd7 is the current fashion in the 6. Ag5 Najdorf. White’s 6th move, arguably his most critical option, faces Black with great practical problems, such as a multitude of ra­zor-sharp lines, where one slip is fatal, and the great depth that theoretical research has reached in these lines; White players are generally prepared very thouroughly, turning the opening of the game into a duel of surprise and memorization. For those who, like me (unfortunately!), can hardly rely on their ability to recall long variations, it may be preferable to follow less travelled paths. And, at least for the moment, some of the 6... £\bd7 lines offer just that.In this article I am going to examine the recent developments in variations where Black plays an early ...b5, postponing or even completely renouncing the traditional ...e6. The move ...b5 can be played after 7. f4 Wc7 8. # f3 or, even earlier, after 7. # e2 . Naturally, such play is a lit­tle provocative; after all, Black is neglecting his kingside development and must thus be pre­pared to face furious sacrifices by his aggressive opponents. But nowadays, in the computer era, everything is playable, as long as you know the critical positions well and your calculating powers are well polished!

FRENCH DEFENCESteinitz/Classical variation

• Country: Montenegro

• Born: 1983

• Title: Grandmaster since 2005

• Rating: 2539

• Peak rating: 2545

uring the last few years, the 7... Jle7 line in the Classical French has grown in popularity and has achieved main line status, leaving 7... cd4, 7... a6 and 7... # b 6 behind. As plans in­volving 0-0-0 have not brought White satisfactory results, the first player has turned to the continuation 9. Ae2, intending 0—0, in search for an antidote. Black has usually opted for a plan with 9... a6 and 10... b5, but White seems to have come to terms with this approach, suc­ceeding in obtaining some advantage out of the opening. This, in turn, has prompted Black to employ a different way of developing his queenside, namely with 9... b6. This plan, the subject of the present article, has become very popular and appears to be satisfactory in practice.

The position is balanced and Black managed to win the game. This variation is still devel­oping, but Black has had great results so far and it appears to be very difficult for White to find a convincing route to an advantage.

n this article we shall examine the Jaenisch or Schliemann Variation of the Ruy Lopez, 3... f5, and in particular the interesting move 4. d3. This has tended to surpass the main move 4. £\c3 in popularity, either due to the "Radjabov Variation" there (4... fe4 5. £\e4 £>f6), where Black plays a pawn down but the position is much closer to a draw than a White win, or be­cause the later involves many more forcing variations and a greater theoretical learning over­head. The move 4. d3 has been employed even by the world’s leading players.This article does not intend to argue which move is better than the other; it is clear that both have their good and bad sides. I just wish to examine 4. d3 in some depth and offer the reader a good grasp of its potential and nuances. With 4. d3 White supports his Ae4, strengthening his central presence and keeping control of the d5- and f5-squares. On the other hand, after an ex­change on e4 Black acquires the open f-file for counterplay.Overall, the resulting lines are less forcing than those occuring after 4. £>c3. The main focus of the article lies on two modem and interesting ways for Black to meet the 4. d3 line, namely 6... d6 and 6... Jlc5 7. ®d3 £>d4!?.

1. e4 e5 2. £>f3 £>c6 3. ± b 5 f5 4. d3 Currently in vogue, though 4. £\c3 has been played far more often.

[4. £}c3 I shall not be analyzing this move, but I do wish to explain why more and more players have switched to 4. d3 nowadays. 4... fe4 5. £ie4 £>f6 6. £>f6 (6. # e 2 d5 7. £>f6 gffi8. d4 Ag7 9. de5 0—0 offers mutual chances) # f6 7. # e 2 (7. 0—0 is also possible, but hardly threatening.) Ae7 8. Jlc6a) 8... dc6 9. £>e5 M 5 10. 0 -0 (10. d4 There is no rush for this move, which gives Black an extra opportunity, as the Ac2 is poisoned any­way 10... 0-0-0 11. Jle3 c5 12. 0-0-0 cd4 13.

a2) 10... 0-0-0!? 11. d3 Hhe8; a3) 10... 0 -0 is, similarly to the main line, a position with good drawing chances for Black;

b) 8... bc6 9. ¿he5 (9. # e 5 d6 10. W 6 ± f6 only helps Black to develop his pieces.) ®e6

This is Radjabov’s favourite line. Black is much more likely to achieve a draw here, and this evaluation is supported by the Azeri grandmaster’s results in top-level play.]

4... fe4 5. de4 £sf6 6. 0 -0

Probably the best move in the position.

16. ^>c3 A small but significant imprecision, after which Black has absolutely no problems and can even lay claim to some initiative. 6.,. ilb4, for example: 7. # d 3 itc3 8. # c 3 (8. bc3 d6) £ie4 9. # e 3 (9. # d 3 £>f6 10. ± c 6 bc6 11. £ie5 W ei) d5 10. £ie5 0 -0 t Rausis 2520 — I.-A.

his article features my efforts to resuscitate the rare and half-forgotten 10... g6 line of the Open Ruy Lopez. Once employed by Korchnoi, on the stage of the 1978 World Championship match against Karpov in Baguio City, it certainly caught the audience’s attention. However, Karpov’s crushing 28-move win curbed Korchnoi’s desire to try this risky line again, and the public followed suit.Ever since, 10... g6 would make roughly a solitary appearance every year; statistics tell the whole story... Only Murey, one of Korchnoi’s seconds in Baguio City, continued to use it on occasion — perhaps a strong indication of the brains behind this line’s adoption!My personal involvement with the "Baguio Sorrow" line commenced a few years ago. Going through the current theoretical material on the Open Ruy Lopez, with the intention to employ it as Black, I realized that most of its variations were either too long to allow for creativity, or too dull to keep one alert at the board. Sweet teenage memories of that ill-fated Baguio game sprang to my mind, which prompted me to start looking for possible improvements. Was it be­fore or after I got acquainted with Jakov Murey in some tournament in Hungary, I cannot tell. We analyzed some positions there, but definitely not 10... g6.I can only hope that my involvement with this line has enriched it with even more mysteries and unresolved questions. Perhaps few readers are likely to appreciate such conclusions; to them I can only say "sorry, this is my way... ". If some day the 10... g6 line is christened the "Baguio Sorrow" variation — or, at least, the "Murey" variation, that would be the most cher­ished reward for my efforts!

ALEXANDERI P A T O VY O U T H B R E A K S T H R O U G H V

W ORLD JU N IO R CHAM PION

n a heated and spectacular race taking place during the last few rounds of the 2012 World Junior Championship, under the hot summer sun of Athens, Greece, 19-year-old Ukraine-born GM Alexander Ipatov, now representing Turkey, managed to outclass the rating favorites of the event and win the coveted title on tie-break, thus adding his name to an illustrious list that also hosts former World Champions Boris Spassky and Anatoly Karpov, as well as many other famous grandmasters. This tournament victory brought along Alexander’s first ever qualification to the FIDE World Cup and crowned his decision to switch to representing

Turkey in the best possible way. Consideringhis serious and responsible attitude towards chess, one can rest assured that Alexander Ipatov will soon become a household name in the chess world!Alexander was bom in Lviv, Ukraine, on the 16th day of July 1993, and was taught the ba­sics of chess by his father, who sadly passed away recently. His mother brought him to the local chess club at the age of 6, thus laying the foundation of a promising career for her son. After receiving coaching from Viktor Scherba­kov, Alexander Hermanov, Andrei Khripach, Viktor Zheliandinov, Mikhail Kozakov and Miodrag Perunovic throughout the years, and having gained the IM title in the mean­time (2008), Alexander finally ended up with his current coach, FIDE Senior Trainer and Grandmaster Efstratios Grivas, who also hap­pens to be the coach of the Turkish national team for several years. This cooperation soon bore fruits, not least due to Alexander’s deter­mination and strict work ethics, and he soon obtained the grandmaster title, in 2011, as of­ficial confirmation of his undeniable progress.The World Junior Championship is his big­gest success to date, but certainly not the only

107

RISING STARSone! Among several noteworthy results, one can point out his third place in the mammoth2011 Cappelle la Grande open (with 85 GMs out of a total of 573 participants), his shared second places in the 2011 Nakhchivan Open (with Z. Almasi, Vallejo and I. Sokolov) and the 2012 Grand Europe Open, his multiple ju­nior titles in Ukraine and his nice collection of medals of all colors from the national leagues of Turkey, Spain, Ukraine and Catalonia.This list is sure to grow bigger in the near future, as Alexander seems more dedicated to chess than ever and enjoys the meaning­ful support of the Turkish Chess Federation— more on this later. Naturally, these suc­cesses have come as a result of his continu­ally improving play — when asked to single out a few of his most memorable games,Alexander mentions his important victory against Grandelius at the WJCC and his games against S. Zhigalko (Cappelle la Grande 2011),Melkumyan (Sarajevo 2012) and Sargissian (Valjevo 2012). Still, his strongest and most pleasant memories are linked to the Athens event, for which he and his trainer, GM Grivas, approached very seriously and with restraint; the goal was not to lose any games, and try to gather points day-by-day. In the end, his seven wins and six draws proved enough for the gold medal!Having been singled out as a dynamic and aggressive player during his junior years, Alexan­der has now broadened his horizons and become a more universal player — he will not hesitate to seek a slightly better endgame or, in contrast, a direct attack on the opponent’s king, accord­ing to circumstances. True, this newly-acquired universality cannot hide his clear preference for Alexander Alekhine as his favorite player, but it also betrays the fact that he has judi­ciously studied the games of all world champions, as well as those of other influential chess players, such as Akiba Rubinstein and Aron Nimzowitsch. As a product of Soviet chess cul­ture, he is also familiar with classical chess literature, such as the works of Mikhail Botvinnik, but he also admires the modem chess stars — he considers Levon Aronian an amazing player, and is always impressed by Magnus Carlsen’s technique!Alexander recently switched his allegiance to the Turkish Chess Federation, having repre­sented Spain for the last few years, after abandoning the Ukrainian federation due to lack of support on their part. It is remarkably rare for such a young player to have already played un­der three different flags, but it seems that in Turkey he has found his personal haven, and is greatful to the Turkish federation and its president, Ali Nihat Yazici, for their invitation. He admits to having accepted this proposal without much thought, in view of the rapid develop­ment and expansion of the Turkish federation in all fields relevant to chess, as well as the great popularity the sport enjoys in Turkey. Indeed, Turkey has just hosted the Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, and next year will be the host of the World Junior Championship (where he will try and retain his title) and the World Team Championship, where he hopes to be able to help the Turkish team in their quest for success. Other important events in his schedule for 2013 are the European Individual Championship, the European Team Championship and, of course, the World Cup; a strong showing in these events is his primary chess goal right now, along with an effort to increase his rating enough to enter the Top 100. Naturally, such ambitious

108

RISING STARSgoals require great effort in preparation (which he does make!), but he still finds time to learn the language of his new homeland as quickly as possible, to enable him to assimilate its history and culture. Plans of moving to Turkey were tempo­rarily put on hold due to the death of his fa­ther, as he wishes to support his mother in Ukraine, but remain a thought for the fu­ture.So far, we have been painting the picture of a very serious and dedicated chess player, fully devoted to his sport. While admira­ble, such a one-sided description would not do Alexander justice, for he is a great fan of football in general and FC Barce­

lona in particular! Indeed, he watches most of their matches on TV, or even live in the stadium, when he is in the city — at the time you read this, he will have already witnessed his first El Classico first-hand! He never misses a chance to play football himself with friends, either on the pitch or on his TV screen, using his Playstation, with basketball and table-tennis also at­tracting his attention occasionally. Another recent hobby of his is reading motivational and business literature, while one should never forget that he is an avid learner of foreign lan­guages — a process he probably adores even more than Barca!Without any further ado, we hereby present you samples of Alexander Ipatov’s chess:

The competitive aspect of this game meant that Danny had to win with Black, but this might be a case of a "square too far".

I think this is by far the best move. White iso­lates the Black pawn on h3 and can possibly launch a kingside attack later, using the g-pawn as a springboard. Instead 10. g3.

IN MEMORIAM

GRANDMASTER SVETOZAR GLIGORlt (1923-2012)

THE FINE OLD GENTLEMAN

by Josip Asik"Finally, at this advanced age, I found the chance to dedicate myself to music; I am listening, playing, even composing. Chess is very jeal­ous; when it gets hold of you, it doesn’t give you any freedom.1’ These words, spoken by an 86-year old Sve- tozar Gligoric in his house, in a quiet district of Belgrade next to a large park full of green, constantly resound in my ears as I fondly remember this great legend of chess, who sadly left us this year. Bringing back to my mind the scene that took place four years ago, I recall the pleasant warmth of his living room, surrounded by librar­ies with randomly placed trophies on them, among literally thousands of old books. While my gaze wanders around the room, a familiar melody fills the air as the chess maestro’s hands effortlessly travel along the black and white keys of the piano; he’s performing "Girl from Ipanema", a mid-60s bossa-nova classic. 1 can’t suppress the thought that his great passions in life both revolve around black and white.

At the time I wasn’t able to listen to his own compositions, which he proudly held secret until his first and, unfortunately, only CD was released, a selection of songs and instrumental pieces spanning a great variety of styles — from blues to hip hop! Composing music? M Yes, exactly”, he confirms, reacting to the suspicion in my eyes; "I like the same music young people like, even hip hop!M Much of his time then was being spent in a recording studio, preparing the ma­terial for this CD. He relates how he initially intended to include only instrumental music, but eventually had to concede to the producers’ pleas to add some lyrics as well. And so, at the age of 86, this "newcomer" enters the music scene — a miracle!

The greatest part of Svetozar Gligoric’s life was devoted to another art, the art of chess. For more than thirty years, starting from 1950, he was one of the strongest players outside the So­viet Union, and undoubtedly the chess star of former Yugoslavia, now dissolved into several smaller countries. His peers remember him as an old-style gentleman, a quiet, modest, pleasant and friendly person. He was bom in Belgrade in 1923, a fact not forgotten by local organisers, that celebrated his 85th anniversary with a special event and a memorable rapid tournament.

116

He himself never liked such celebrations, but, as he said, he was touched by the organizers’ efforts and simply couldn’t miss the occasion.Going back eighty years in time, in the early 30s, one can start tracing the thread of a remarkable career. ’’There was a coffee shop in my neighbourhood, in the heart of Belgrade, where you could see a table with a chess­board carved on it, available for the guests. As a child, whenever I happened to pass by, I used to attach my face to the window and look inside. This great desire to discover the secret of playing chess had to await its sat­isfaction for 2-3 years, until I was, at the age of 13, in­troduced to the rules of the game. Shortly afterwards, a friend took me to the youth championship of the Bel­grade Chess Club. The atmosphere was amazing: so many people, marble tables, everything around so lux­urious. It all looked like wonderland to me. I did play in the tournament but, being totally inexperienced, I failed to qualify for the final”.Gligoric had to wait a whole year for his second chance, as there were no other tournaments for children. In the meantime, this young boy started to create his own chess library, by col­lecting newspaper clips; he also started to learn openings by himself — he never had a chess teacher. As he grew up in a poor family, and having lost his father very early, he had to cope with the task all by himself; even his chess set was handmade by him, by painting the board on a piece of carton from a chocolate bar package. Twelve months later, now well prepared, he went into battle with great ambition: ’’There were no chess clocks and each move had to be played in ten seconds; the arbiter was counting down and announcing which side is to move. In my last round game I delivered mate, which prompted my opponent to start cry­ing. I immediately felt sorry for him and allowed him to take back his losing blunder. But the whole episode rather confused me and I made a mistake in turn, eventually losing the game. He advanced to the final, but I didn’t. However, in a lucky coincidence, the arbiter,

an old master, had noticed what happened and decided to give me a ticket to the final as well. That was the start of my chess career — I easily pre­vailed against my opponents and won the final”.The following two years saw Gligoric score two sensational results: he became the adult champion of Belgrade at 15, and one year later he earned the title of National Master. Only the winner of the Yugo­slav Amateur Championship was entitled to such an honour, and Gligoric conquered this hill in Zagreb 1939, being the youn­gest participant in the event.

117

This title is not being awarded anymore and thus only few players from former generations hold it; but even now, in the whole of former Yugoslavia, it is more re­spected than the contemporary Interna­tional Master title. This tournament success earned Gligoric a place in the Yugoslav Championship, but World War II had already begun to overshadow Europe; the chance was missed.

His mother passed away before the war. Alone, without the father from his early youth, he was taken into the family of his close chess friend and fled Belgrade just a few days before the Nazi commenced the bombarding of the capital, which officially commenced the war in Yugoslavia in 1941. In the Montenegro mountains, far away from his birthplace, he joined Marshall Tito’s partisans and the resistance against the occupying forces. Despite his young age, Gligoric soon became the commander of an anti-tank squad, owing to his education. He never shied away from the battlefield, but luckily was able to survive. After Bel­grade was liberated, he returned to his hometown and started to rebuild the local chess community and his own career. ’’After

six years of war, I finally had a chance to play chess again. In those years, in the after- math to the war, Yugoslav chess was led by the ’triumvirate’ of Dr Petar Trifunovic, Vasja Pirc (who gave his name to the well-known defence) and me. Although there was a difference of 10-15 years between me and them, everybody saw us as peers and treated us equally. Chess used to be played in smoky playing halls, the spectators would constantly revolve around the tables and it was always noisy — the times were so different back then!”

In 1945, some Yugoslav players were invited to the first Bulgarian Championship, a tournament Gligoric won. But back on home soil, the going was tougher: in the first two Yugoslav Cham­pionships after the war, in 1945-6, he finished second, behind Trifunovic. Two shared wins followed, with Trifunovic in 1947 and with Pirc the next year, and then, in 1949, he finally managed to win clear first place. After this first sole victory, Gligoric became unstoppable: in the following years he broke all records, winning the championship eleven times.

His international breakthrough came in 1947, when he won a short (for those times!) even of nine rounds in Warsaw, Poland, two points ahead of the Soviet participants, Smyslov and Boleslavsky, despite being a relatively unknown player. ’’Just before travelling to Warsaw I got married. 1 was already working as a journalist, and my wife Danica came to know me in that capacity; she was very surprised to find out that I am also a chess player. Those were poor times; I remember, while preparing to travel to Poland, arming myself against the cold winter with a military coat left behind by the western Allies - I didn’t have any­thing else to wear. I beat Smyslov in a nice game and, to everyone’s surprise, I finished clear first”.

118

During those years Gligoric got the chance to play against several well-known names from the past: "I never met Lasker, Capablanca or Alekhine, but I played against some of the most reknowned figures of the first half of the 20th century. I beat Tartakower, Bernstein, Euwe and Bogoljubov twice, I also beat Vidmar. I felt great respect for those generations. Naturally, a significant part of my good results against them was owed to my youth - the age difference in several of these encounters was almost 40 years. The most difficult oppo­nent from the old guard for me was Bora (Boris, Borislav) Kostic, who had won the Hastings tournament in 1919 and had even played a match against the great Capablanca. His signature risky attacking style, in the best of coffee-shops tradition, somehow worked well against me. He beat me twice until I finally managed to strike back and eventually equalize the score”.Gligoric led the Yugoslav team to first place in the Dubrovnik 1950 Chess Olympiad, an event marred by the boycott of the USSR and other eastern countries, a part of Stalin’s po­litical pressure against Tito. This victory brought Yugoslavia its only Olympic gold medals ever, and was the starting point of a golden chess era in the country. In the period since this memorable feat and up to 1983, when he made his last appearance for the national team, Gligoric and his teammates won 12 Olympic medals (five silver and six bronze, apart from the inaugural gold) and six European Championship medals (five silver, one bronze). Throughout these years, Gligoric was the connecting bond between several generations: the "triumvirate" turned into the "golden quartet", comprising of him and youngsters Borislav Ivkov, Alek- sandar Matanovic and Milan Matulovic. In the 80s, Ljubomir Ljubojevic took over the leader’s duties, with Gligoric playing on second board, below him, in his last national team performance, in the European Team Championship of 1983 in Plovdiv, where he scored the best individual result on his board.

"We won so many medals because we had a very strong team; I wouldn’t pos­sibly have managed all this alone. I still regret for one ’stolen’ medal, in the Havana Olympiad in 1966: we tied for third place with Hungary, and all standard tie-breaks were equal as well; we actually had more match wins, but anyway I felt it would be fairest to share the medals with Hungary. However, the ’Cold War’ was at its height, and sports were also governed by politics. The chief arbiter was from Czechoslovakia (edi­tor’s note: Jaroslav Sajtar) and, as a true representative of the Eastern Bloc, introduced a new rule to break the tie: the results of the two teams on the top two boards would be compared — and we were left with empty hands.”"One of the best moments of my career was the gold medal for my individual performance in the Munich Olympiad in 1958. 1 played on first board and scored 12/15, bettering Botvinnik’s re­sult. Years later, Petrosian told me that

119

nobody in the Soviet team was willing to play me; neither Botvinnik, nor Smyslov. The task was eventually given to Keres, with the game ending in a draw after a tough fight. At the time I hadn't realized that they felt so uncomfortable to face me”.

”1 had very good results in the late 50s. 1 won the Piatigorsky Cup in Dallas, in 1957, along with Reshevsky. In the same year, I played excellently in the traditional USSR — Yu­goslavia match, scoring 6/8.1 recall that, when I was leaving for home, a young Korchnoi came to the Leningrad railway station to tell me that he will prepare to take revenge for his only loss in this match! He did achieve this later, three times in a row I think, before my turn to win would come again”.

’’The Portoroz Interzonal Tournament in 1958 remained in history for several reasons: the victory of young Mikhail Tal (who was then on a meteoric rise all the way to the world champion's crown), the competitive tragedy of Bronstein, Fischer’s first tour­nament appearance in Europe. I played Fischer in the last round; it was a draw in the end, but he kept playing until a result would be confirmed in the famous game between Bronstein and Cardoso. When Bronstein lost, Fischer imme­diately offered a draw, in this way securing qualification to the Candidates. As for my­self, I finished second, half a point behind Tal. One lesson I learned in this tournament is that, when your opponent is in time trouble, it doesn't mean that the same applies to you. I had a winning position against Fridrik Olafsson, but 1 started playing fast in his time trouble; as a result, I missed a winning move four times, and in the end I even lost the game.This game practically ended my hopes of overtaking Tal.”

”1 savour very fond memories of two exotic places, Mar del Plata and Sousse. In the strong tournament of Mar del Plata in 1953,1 scored an exceptional amount of points - 16/19 - and also happened to invent a new plan in the King's Indian Defence. 1 played this opening for 25 years, starting from my 1952 win against Geller in Stockholm. The plan consisted of the now standard manoeuvre ...Hf7,...¿Lf8, ...Sg7, followed by the advance of the g-pawn, and was introduced to practice in my wins against the leading Argentinian grandmasters Najdorf and Eliskases, in that tournament. The name 'Mar del Plata Vari­ation' stuck, depriving me of the joy of attaching my own name to this line, just like Rubinstein and Korchnoi failed to christen the Carlsbad and Meran variations respec­tively. As for the 1967 Sousse Interzonal, I shared second place with Korchnoi and Geller, behind Larsen; this was a great result, because 1 wasn’t considered among the favour­ites.” By the way, the victory against Najdorf was of special significance; one year earlier, Gligoric had lost a drawn position against him, when he got tricked by Najdorf s antics (he pretended to have overlooked a tactical detail) and fell into a trap — Gligoric himself remem­bers this incident as "childish behavior, but sympathetic in its own way”. After sweet re­venge in Mar del Plata, all their subsequent encounters ended in a draw.

120

Gligoric won four of the six Zonal tournaments he participated in, during his World Champi­onship campaigns. Out of the eight Interzonals of his career, he succeeded in reaching the next step three times: twice the Candidates Tournament, and once a quarterfinal Candidates match against Tal, in Belgrade 1968. It is true that a player of his stature could well aspire to greater heights, but fate decided otherwise.

"I was honoured to meet Queen Elisabeth during her visit to Yugoslavia in 1972. She was very charming and told me that 1 should be a British citizen, considering my multiple and very successful performances in Britain; I think I even held a record for the highest num­ber of appearances in Hastings, fifteen times from 1951 till 1973/4. Jon Speelman later broke this record, but it was easier for him, he’s a local! Anyway, there were big crowds at the Queen’s reception, and I hid myself in the third row of seats, as 1 am not a fan of such celebrations. Her Majesty was escorted by Mr. Eden, the British ambassador to Yugosla­via at the time; it was perhaps after his advice that she came straight to me, and said these memorable words: you have won so many times in England, that maybe you should be our citizen!”

"The Hastings tournament was convenient for me, because it usually took place around New Year’s Day, which meant that I had something to do during the holidays. I really miss the long walks along the Hastings beach; they were very relaxing, despite the strong winds and the cold — unusual for us ’southerners’. In 2002 I met the ambassador of the United Kingdom to Belgrade, Mr. Charles Crawford, on his own request; being a chess enthusiast himself, he mentioned how he used to support me and watch my games in Hastings as a young boy”.

As to the eternal question of who the best player in the history of chess was, there were no doubts in Gligoric’s mind: ’’Bobby Fischer. There has never been a player so clearly above his contemporaries as Fischer was in his best years. Even Kasparov has admitted this, even though he himself could lay a serious claim to this title”. And what about the modem era? ”1 am truly impressed with the width of chess creativity that can be seen in the games of today’s leading players. I guess it has to be this way, as most openings have now been very deeply researched, so one really needs a special touch in order to win. Just consider this idea of Cheparinov, that helped Topalov to beat Kramnik in Wijk aan Zee (2008). I still believe in the human approach, with the computer used just to check if something is corrector not”."Chess is getting younger and younger, but 1 am still surprised to see grand­masters at the age of 13-14.Young people have a lot of energy, strong memory and the opportunity to increase their knowledge much faster than older generations, who didn’t have the help of com­puters. It was amazing for me to see how a very young Magnus Carlsen managed to knock down the great Kramnik, also in Wijk aan Zee; even more impressive isthat it occurred in the Eng- Sll,lmar GllK„ri, anjj0sip ,lilk

121

lish Opening, where Kramnik has shown a number of original and strong ideas. These young players, like Carlsen, Karjakin, Radjabov, they play very well, even in difficult endgames that require a lot of patience; it is clear that they are growing very quickly. Anand, Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Topalov, they are still members of the elite, but I can see that they are getting tired of long preparation sessions and non-stop tournaments. Kasparov could have prolonged his career, but he decided otherwise. I have particular fondness for Radjabov’s play; he is faithful to some openings which 1 used for decades, such as the King’s Indian Defence and the Ruy Lopez, and I can see that he has deep understanding of them. Of course, I never played against him — or any other of these youngsters — so my judgment is solely based on examining their games”.It takes a remarkable person to pursue a new, totally different career at this advanced age, as Svetozar Gligoric decided to do when turning to music, while still remaining devoted to his greatest love, chess. To summarize his immense contribution to chess, and even music, in just a few pages would be impossible, even more so because what "Gliga" meant for us, for Serbia, for former Yugoslavia, for chess goes far beyond what words can describe. And, thinking back to the long life and career of Svetozar Gligoric, the brightest star in the sky of a chess-loving nation, one can rest assured that his memory will live forever.

PROBLEMSby Milan Velimirovic ä t f c

LOGICAL DOUBLINGShe “Encyclopedia o f Chess Problems” recently published by “Chess

Informant’ comprises the knowledge cumulated during the 13 centuries long history of chess composition. The encyclopedic presentation (i.e. in alphabetic order) of entries that provides quick access to desired information is not ideal for systematic study, especially by a newcomer. For that reason, I decided to use this column, in next several issues of Chess Informant, to present some important and interesting topics in a tutorial-like style.As I see this column as a chance to bring the chess composition closer to chess players who have not had much contact with this branch of their beloved game, it seems appropriate to start with a genuine chess motif, characterized by idea to double the power of two friendly long-range pieces along the same line or diagonal. The common feature of themes you are about to see is that doubling is preceded by a preparatory move along the thematic line which ensures that two pieces eventually line up properly. Thus, this will be also a small introduction to the basic concepts of “Critical play” and “Logical combinations”.

There are two kinds of combinations: the Intu­itive combination, which may be perceived only as a whole, in a flash of intuitive insight, as it were; and the Logical combination, which must be deduced step by step from its compo­nent parts, and its rational sequence of moves.

1. M . V U K é E V kMat Plus 1996

In No.l the key l.© c l! brings the white queen behind two white line-movers, threat­ening 2 .ilf4+ < >:f6 3.ile5+! <&:e5 4 .#f4^. Although this looks like a doubling, this is in fact a simple ambush followed by elimi­nation of white passive power (i.e. ild2). The same scenario is repeated in two thematic variations: l . . .^ :f6 2 .ilg5+ ^ g 7 3.ilf6+ and l...& :d6 2.Hc6+ <£>d7 3.Hd6+ (2...<&e5 3 .#c5+). What we see here is a triple pre­sentation of the identical intuitive combina­tion with a straightforward idea of clearing the way for the white queen by getting rid of the obstacles (ild2 or Hc2) which stand on her way.

Logical combination consists of two parts: (1) the “main plan” which, however, cannot be executed immediately due to some defect; and (2) the “fore-plan”, a preparatory maneu­ver which is needed to remedy this defect. In case of logical doublings one thematic piece already stands on the thematic line, while the

302

PROBLEMSother is yet to arrive there along another line. The intersection of these two lines is called a “critical square”. The main white’s plan is to bring this second piece to the thematic line, but the piece which is already on the line is initially on the wrong side of the critical square and would interfere with the other piece. Therefore it must first move “anti-critically”, across the critical square, and that is the “fore-plan” of our logical combination which will make the main plan possible.

For your information, an “Anti-critical move” traverses the cutting-point (or critical square) in order to avoid later interference. Opposite, a “Critical move” traverses the critical square in order to allow subsequent interference.

2 . O . W U RZBU RGv. British Chess Maqazine 1896

White plan in No.2 is to double the power of the queen and bishop along the h3-c8 diagonal, but immediate l.©g4? leads no­where. So the bishop has to be first displaced to a better spot: l.jLh3! threatening (e.g. af­ter I ...* c7 ) 2 .# g 4 &d8 3 .#d7^ . This type of doubling, where the weaker piece first plays anti-critically backwards and then the stronger piece comes in front of it, is called “Turton Doubling”. It has been named after the British composer Henry Turton (1832-1881).

What elevates this miniature to something more than just being a theoretical work is a beautiful side-variation. After l...a5 the dou­bling is not effective any more: 2 .#g4? a6! and the black king escapes. Looks like black defended himself, but here comes a bolt out of the blue: 2.#a6+!! <à>:a6 3.iLc8:£. Spectacu­lar!

3. S . LOYD1. pr New York Saturday Courier 1856

The chess problem theory distinguishes be­tween six types of such logical doublings, de­pending on the direction of the anti-critical introduction (i.e. whether it goes towards the object of action or away of it) and of the type and order of the pieces involved. Normally one would expect that stronger piece will eventually be in the front of the weaker one. However, sometimes it is better to have the weaker piece ahead, either in order to save the stronger one alive, or to avoid the damage (typically a stalemate) that may be caused by its strength. In No.3 the white queen first goes anti-critically backwards, l .# g l ! , and then the bishop comes in front of her, 2 .ilf2 , so that after 3 .il:b6 £}:b6 the white queen is still there to mate from c5. This paradoxical form of theme is appropriately called “Loyd-Turton doubling”, after the 19th century “Puzzle King” Samuel Loyd (1830-1914).

303

PROBLEMS4 . E. BRUNNERAkademische Monatshefte für Schach 1910

The third and perhaps even more paradoxical form of doubling involves two pieces of the same kind, which nevertheless must be aligned properly. In No.4 white obviously must imme­diately move the rook from c4 to release black from the stalemate, but he must do it very care­fully. If l.Hf4? < >:c5 2.Hgg4 black king goes back 2...< >c6! and now the Hf4 stands in the way of his colleague on g4 (3.2c4+ < >d7!). Therefore the rook must go anti-critically: 1.2h4! < ?:c5 2.2gg4 <^?c6(c6) and now the “good” rook can re-open the bishop’s line and mate with 3.Sc4^. This type is known as “Brunner-Turton doubling”, after the Swiss composer Erich Brunner (1885-1938).

5. F. PALATZLa Vie Rennaise 1931

304

Unlike in preceding three examples where the supporting piece is on thematic line and the ac­tion piece is yet to arrive in front of it, in No.5 the action piece (queen) is already on thematic line and the supporting one (bishop) will arrive behind it. It looks like a good idea to play 1 .ildl and after e.g. I...^g8 2.ilc2 with 3.#h7^. The bishop goes backwards to take the posi­tion behind the queen, but instead of doing it along the thematic line it travels along the line parallel to it. The bishop plays anti-critically “around” the critical square (d3), thus mak­ing an “anti-peri-critical” maneuver (Greek “peri”= about, around). The combination (which is, by the way, called the “Peri-Turton doubling”) is, however, only a try which fails after l...e2! 2.ilc2 e l# + . The correct way to line-up the queen and bishop is l.®f5! e2 2.ile4 e l # 3.®h7^. The queen first crosses the critical square (e4) by moving forward (i.e. to­wards the object of action) and then arrives the bishop to support her. This type of doubling, prepared by an anti-critical move (forward) of the action-piece, is called “Zepler-Turton dou­bling” or simply “Zepler doubling”, after the British composer Erich Zepler (1898-1980).

6. G . SLADEKÖsterreich. Schachztg. 1958

As you may have guessed, there are two more types of “Zepler doubling”. The combination in No.6 starts after the introduction 1 .< >b2! b5 (not l.^ c 2 ? b5! and the pawn will give a check on black’s 4th move). White cannot ex­ecute his main plan - to double the queen and

PROBLEMSrook on the 5th rank - before the rook moves anti-critically 2.Hf5! b4 and after inserted3.#h2+ Hh3 the queen comes behind it 4.#e5! with 5.Sh5^. If 4...2h2+ 4.#:h2^ (that’s why the white king escaped from the 1st rank). Like in the “Loyd-Turton doubling” the stron­ger piece arrived to support the weaker one from behind, hence this type is known as “Loyd-Zepler doubling".

7. E. BRUNNERDie Schwalbe 1930

^3The third type which involves pieces of the same strength, called the “Brunner-Zepler doubling", is clearly shown in No.6. Immediate1.Heg2? fails to l...il:e4! and the rook in the front is pinned. Therefore l.Hg3! with threat2.Heg2 A:e4 3.Hg8^ (if l...!,:e4 2.H:e4 and3.He8^>.

8. Z . M ASLAR1-2.pr Problem 1962-63

^3

The six types of logical doublings have been, for the sake of clarity, illustrated with relatively simple examples. No.8 is more advanced com­position which combines four different themes, three of which are our logical doublings. The meaning of the zugzwang creating key 1 .He8! varies depending on the black defence. Afterl...cl4^ it is an anti-critical move backwards that prepares “Turton doubling” with 2.#e7!

3 .#e2^, as it is after l . . .c l# (or 1...2cl), but this time for an incidental “Brunner-Turton doubling” with 2.Sce5 and 3.Sel^=. “Inciden­tal” because this is not quite a logical doubling as there is actually no need for the preparatory anti-critical move - the doubling would be equally effective if the rook remained on e3. After l...<&cl white continues 2.Sd8 d l# +3 .© ^ !^ - a “Peri-Turton doubling”, just like the one we’ve seen in a try-play of No.5. This time the rook makes an anti-peri-critical ma­neuver. Finally, after l . . .c l i l we realize that instead of avoiding an interference the first move enabled it: 2.ile4! ^ e 2 3.iLc2^. As far as this variation is concerned the key is a “crit­ical move”, the introduction to arguably the most spectacular chess problem idea, the “In­dian theme”, which will be more thoroughly discussed in the next issue.Theoretical discussions are often monotonous and many may find them boring, but if you are still reading these lines I guess you’re curious enough to learn a little bit more.All types of doubling described so far are conceived by white and carried out to his ad­vantage with his own pieces. This type of combination is called a “direct combination" with “idea in attack with white pieces”. When the same type of combination is executed by black we are talking about the “idea in de­fence with black pieces”, but here we will stick only to combinations initiated by white.A combination can also be initiated by one and (unwillingly) executed by the other side, in which case it is an “indirect combina­tion”. Indirect combination initiated by white and carried out with black pieces is called “Idea in attack with black pieces”. In indirect combination, which is always harmful for the side that performs it, the logical doubling can be implemented as black’s attempt to defend.

305

PROBLEMSWhite forces black to revert his action and perform the “Anti-doubling”.

9. E. ZEPLERDeutsches Wochenschach 1923

The main plan in No.9 is l.Hh4? with idea 2.ile4+ ®:e4 3.f:e4^. Black parries it with1...2b4! 2.Jle4+ S:e4 3.f:e4+ #:e4+! and white cannot mate on his 5th move. Therefore white forces the black queen ahead: l.ilb7! (2.A c8^) ©c4 and now after 2.Sh4! 2b4 3.ile4+ # :e4 4.f:e4+ 2:e4 the white king is not in check, so 5.g4^. The play of black looks like a black “Zepler doubling”, similar to the white one we’ve seen in No.5, but “there’s the rub!”. The side which performs the doubling combination does it to its own advantage, and here we see something quite opposite. The black queen is initially at the right side of the critical square, so we can assume that she has just moved anti-critically “backwards” along the 4th rank to parry the threat 2h4 etc. In other words black is trying to defend with a

“Loyd-Turton doubling”. White compels black to reversal of this plan by forcing the queen’s critical move “forward”, so what we see here is actually an “Anti-Loyd-Turton doubling", or “antiform” of “Loyd-Turton doubling”.

10. E. ZEPLERKongressbuch Teplitz-Schonau 1922

No. 10 follows the similar script. The main plan1 .Hb4? #f4! 2.c7+ A:c7 3.b:c7+ W:cl 4.^c6+ #:c6! fails because eventually the stronger black piece cames to c7. Here we can assume that previously black played anti-critically Jlh2(g3)-e5, intending to defend himself with the “Loyd-Zepler doubling”. White must de­coy the black bishop back with l.ilg3! Jl:g3 (critical move!) and now he can safely con­duct his main plan: 2.2b4! # f4 3.c7+ W'-cl4.b:c7+ il:c7 5.£)c6¥:. Again it looks like a black “Turton doubling”, but since the combi­nation is harmful for the side which performs it (black) it is in fact an “Anti Loyd-Zepler doubling".
