This was the more important game of round 8,the classical,sometime boring master again the best blitzer and very audacious player.
I follow this game on Chessvibes a great chess site www.chessvibes.com because Michael Marin was commenting in real time,I have always spoken highly of him and again it was great!I based my notes on his comment and I urge you to buy his great books!
1. d4 f5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 g6 4. c4 Bg7 5. Nc3 O-O 6. Nf3 d6 7. O-O c6
The Leningrad Dutch is a speciality of Naka(star war on the chessbase server)certainly an active opening but a lot of GMI think it is quite dubious,playing that way against kramnik is very provocative.
8. Rb1!?
. White is ready to start a queenside attack with b4-b5.
8... Ne4 9. Qc2 Nxc3 10. bxc3!?
Well not too aesthetic but the queen wiould not be secure on c3,it is also a way to open the b file and to get another pawn in center,saying all that i wonder how many players would have played it?
10..e5
Black has a sound pawn stucture but is behind in develeloppement
11.Rd1 e4 12. Ng5 h6 13. Nh3 g5
more or less forced to prevent Nf4 well you can ask if the Bg2 is now a nice piece ,all the story is here,if black can keep it buried they will stood better if not ....
14. f3
trying to break the center
..d5 15. Nf2
interresting would be also 15.cxd5 cxd5 16.c4 and the black center collapsed,btw you see now that having played 10.bxc3 had also his way toward control of center.here Black could try to go on with 16..Nc6 .It seems that kramnik is not on hurry to give the c6 square to the knight ;so he first regroups.
15... Kh8 16. cxd5 cxd5 17. c4
17... e3!?
Nakamura try to be active, positionaly he is in a bad way because soon his center will be broken,here he try to keep the bischop g2 inactive and now the pauwn cant be taken since 18.Bxe3 will lose the exchange to 18...f4 followed by ...Bf5. But of couse this pawn in future will be weak
18.Nd3 18... Nc6 19. Bxe3
19.Ne5?! Nxe5 20.dxe5 f4!
19. Nxd4 20. Bxd4 Bxd4+ 21. Kh1
with the positional threath of 22.f4
21... f4
Only move move but now Black is on thin ice!
22. Rb5 Qf6 23. Rxd5 Be6
At last black finish his developpement ,it is quite late and white has now a combination.
24. Nxf4 gxf4 25. R5xd4 fxg3 26. hxg3 Rg8
White has 2 pawns more and black attack is not too impresive,here usually commentators stop and write :Now it is only a matter of technique! »maybe it is true but very few of us has got such techniques.
So when you are on a winning side be careful,thinks,all can sleep easily...
1-0 on move 44 see under.
