Here is a game that was commented some time ago on the forum,now I think is best place is here;as usual I am very interrested by any comments from you
Blue dragon - Javell
ANCL, 03.09.2009
First i want to say that I take the possibilities here to answer questions some of you ask me on the server ;but be careful it is my opinion nothing more and what is good for me is maybe bad for you and I am not a grandmaster.
Question 1:is it good to have a coach?
-yes of course and on playchess you can find very good one and not too expensive ;if you can affoard do it!
question 2 how to study chess?
impossible to answer in a few words but i can gives you some ideas:first read chess books ,it is very important I often say that chess is like a language ,it means that even if you dont know grammar you can speak correctly because we hear other speaking around ,it is the same for chess,look at grandmaster games ,even if you dont really understand the moves you will see good patterns and little by little you will gets the good reactions,
I must add that to become a good player ,playing on a server is probably not enough ;go to a club and play real life tournament,
Question 3 what is the better opening?
There are no best openings but there are those you like to play ,those which are very complicated,those with a lot of theoricals developpements ;so choose according your taste and your time , learn plans not moves and looks on complete games not only the opening: to really understand an opening you must understand the middle game which follows
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6
this is the sicilian dragon,there is something very logical in the idea of putting the bishop on the great diagonal a1 h8 but all is not good and it gives white easy attacking plan something along the way Fe3,Qd2 then Bh6 and h4-h5 and mate ok very abstrack but look at the karpov game i quote later
6.Be3 Bg7
6...Ng4? 7.Bb5+ Bd7 8.Qxg4!
7.f3
white secure this bishop against ...Ng4 if you understand the plan I speak about in the last comment,you see that the bishop is a very important piece to attack so dont exchange it except against the bishop g7
7...0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6 9.0-0-0
9.Bc4 is the main variation ,I will show you a game that illustre the white attacking changes but dont be mistaken ,there are ways for black to find counterplay 9...Bd7 10.0-0-0 Rc8 (10...Rb8; 10...Qa5; 10...Qc7; 10...Qb8; 10...Nxd4; 10...a5 are also possible moves ,some or these moves are dubious at best some are quite playable but as I am not writing a book on the Dragon i will not say more.) 11.Bb3 Ne5 12.h4 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Rxc4 14.h5 Nxh5 15.g4 Nf6 16.Nde2 Qa5 17.Bh6 Bxh6 18.Qxh6 Rfc8 19.Rd3 R4c5 20.g5 Rxg5 21.Rd5 Rxd5 22.Nxd5 Re8 23.Nef4 Bc6 24.e5 Bxd5 25.exf6 exf6 26.Qxh7+ Kf8 27.Qh8+ 1-0 Karpov,A (2700)-Kortschnoj,V (2670)/Moscow 1974
9...d5
9...Nxd4 10.Bxd4 Be6 is another way of playing; 9...Bd7 is thought to be dubious because in the variation: 10.h4 Rc8 11.g4 Ne5 12.h5 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Rxc4 white wins a tempo because the Bf1 has not move before(compare with the Karpov game above)This is the official theorical evaluation but I must add that this is far from clear and that maybe 9..Bd7 is not such a bad move
10.Kb1
10.exd5 Nxd5 11.Nxc6 bxc6 12.Nxd5 (12.Bd4 e5 13.Bc5 is the main line) 12...cxd5 13.Qxd5 Qc7 14.Qxa8 Bf5 gives counterplay
10...Rb8? This is a bad move and I knew that; so maybe you can ask why do you play on purpose a bad variation? To answer I must give you my way to train : long time ago I choose a Grandmaster I like and study all his games and also I play the same openings that him.When i was a young player I do that with John Nunn (Doccy)on server and after only a few weeks i made great progress,now Nunn dont play anymore so I « follow » another player I will not name whom but my chess « heroe « had played 10,,Rb8 himself in this variation so i studied that move a lot,
10...Nxd4 is the great variation but then11.e5!? Is a very tricky line that I never study
11.Ndb5!
11.Nxc6? bxc6 give black what he wants :Attacking chance against the king
11...a6
11...dxe4 12.Qxd8 Rxd8 13.Rxd8+ Nxd8 14.Bxa7 Ra8 15.fxe4 lead to a position where black has no winning chances so I preferred to keep queen on,
12.Na7 e6 13.g4
13.exd5 exd5 14.Nxd5 Qxd5 15.Qxd5 Nxd5 16.Rxd5 Re8 is good for black; but good is: 13.h4 Qc7 14.exd5 Nxd5 15.Nxd5 exd5 16.Nxc6 bxc6 17.Bd4 Bxd4 18.Qxd4 c5 19.Qd2 Be6 20.h5 d4 21.c4 Rb4 22.b3 a5 23.Re1 a4 24.hxg6 Bf5+ 25.Bd3 Bxd3+ 26.Qxd3 fxg6 27.Re2 axb3 28.a3 Ra4 29.Kb2 Qf7 30.Rc1 Rfa8 31.Qxb3 Qa7 32.Rce1 Rxa3 33.Re8+ Rxe8 34.Rxe8+ Kf7 35.Qb5 Ra2+ 36.Kb1 Ra1+ 37.Kc2 Qa2+ 38.Kd3 Rd1+ 39.Ke4 Qe2+ 0-1 Naiditsch,A (2588)-Guseinov,G (2505)/Istanbul 2003; and also good is: 13.Nxc8 Qxc8 14.exd5 exd5 15.Bg5 Ne7 16.h4 b5 17.Bd3 b4 18.Ne2 Nc6 19.Bh6 Ne5 20.Bxg7 Kxg7 21.h5 Re8 22.Nd4 Nc4 23.Qf4 Rb6 24.hxg6 fxg6 25.Qh6+ Kf7 26.g4 Ne3 27.Rde1 Qc5 28.Nb3 Qf8 29.Qf4 Qd6 30.Rxh7+ Kg8 31.Qxd6 Rxd6 32.Rh6 1-0 Caruana,F (2523)-Daulyte,D (2224)/Arvier 2007]

18...bxc6
Strangely my fritz 11 prefers 18,, Qxc6 but i strongly disagree after the exchange of queen black got a bad ending
19.h4 Be6 20.Bg5!
Here white is much better !why? please stop and have a look before reading further.
Answer: because the pawns are split C6 and a6 are weak and also there is no counterplay; objectively black opening was very bad
20...Be7?
20...Bxg5 21.hxg5 Qe7 is what engine likes ,it is right but to an human being it is very hard to give the bishop like this because he have great defensive potential.what is interresting here is that it is a position where you must calculate variations precisely not only evaluate it,I must say that as i am a lazy player here i dont calculate enough(shame on me)
21.Bxe7 Qxe7 22.b3
Fritz likes this move and when my opponement plays it i dont like my position anymore .with second thought i am not so sure it is the best because it gives target to black,the possibilities to play a6-a5-a4 .maybe 22.h5 is better.
22...Qc7 23.h5
23.Bxa6 here is not too good :Ra8 24.Bb5 (24.Bd3 Ra3) 24...Rfc8 25.Bc4 Qa7 26.Bxe6! (26.b4? Rcb8 27.Bxe6 fxe6 28.Qb3 Rxb4 29.Qxb4 Rb8=; 26.a4? Qc5) 26...Qxa2+ 27.Kc1 Qa3+ 28.Qb2 (28.Kd2 Qd6+ 29.Kc1 Qxe6=) 28...fxe6 29.Qxa3 Rxa3+/=; 23.Bc4! may be the best move 23...Bxc4 24.Qxc4 a5
23...Rfd8?
23...a5! Must be played with important avantage to white
24.Rxd8+
24.Bxa6! keep a great advantage the point is not only to win a pawn but that it is impossible to generate counterplay for black ;for example: 24...c5 25.Rxd8+ Rxd8 26.a4 Rd4 27.a5
24...Rxd8 25.Bc4
25.Bxa6! once again the right move when black is hard pressed to survive ; interresting to note that Bxa6 was bad on 23th moves but good on move 24 or 25 once more it shows the importance of concrete calculations in position like here
25...Bxc4 26.Qxc4 a5 27.hxg6 hxg6+/= 28.Qc3
28.Qc5
28...Rd4 29.Kb2
29.f4!? Rxe4 30.f5 is very unclear but playing that way white could keep initiative
29...a4 30.Qe3
30.b4 Qb6 (30...Qd6) 31.a3 c5 32.Qxc5 Qxc5 33.bxc5 Rc4+/=
30...Qd6
now it is more or less equal
31.Qh6 a3+! after this the white king has some trouble to be active if a rook ending arrive you will see that later
32.Kc1 Qf6 33.Qh7+ Kf8 34.Qh8+ Ke7!
worse is 34...Qxh8 35.Rxh8+ Ke7 36.Ra8
35.Qa8?
35.Qxf6+ Kxf6 and you see the difference with the variation becoming with 34..Qxh8; now the black king is able to help the pawns g6 or f7 to go to queen;it is why black must be better in all the ending without queen he has an active king not white thanks to the move 31..a3;
35.Qb8! is better with probably an equal position for example : 35...Qd6 36.Qa7+ Ke6 with the queen on it is very difficult to advance the pawns f7 or g6 because the black king would be unsafe
35...Qxf3 36.Qxa3+ Ke6
36...Kf6! 37.Re1 Qc3 38.Rf1+ Kg7 with a safe king
37.Rh8 Rd1+ 38.Kb2 Qxe4 39.Re8+ Kf5!
[39...Kf6? 40.Qe7+ (40.Qa6 Qd4+ 41.Ka3 Qc5+ 42.Kb2 Rd2 43.Qf1+ Kg5 44.Qc1 Qd4+ 45.Ka3 Kf6 46.Qf1+ Qf4 47.Qh1 Rxc2 48.Qh8+ Kf5 49.Qf8 Qc1+ 50.Kb4 Qd2+) 40...Kg7 41.Qf8+ (41.Qxe5+ Qxe5+ 42.Rxe5 f5=) ]
40.Qa6
40.Qc5! Qd4+ 41.Qxd4 Rxd4 but as said above all the rooks endings are better for black because it is much more easy to advance the pawns with the help of the king
40...Qd4+ 41.Ka3
41.c3? Rd2+ 42.Ka3 Qc5+ 43.b4 Qxc3+ 44.Ka4 Rxa2#
41...Qc5+ 42.Kb2 Rd2 43.Qf1+
43.Qc4 Qxc4 44.bxc4 g5
43...Kg5?!
better is 43...Kg4!! 44.Qc4+ (44.Qc1 Qd4+ 45.Ka3 Rd1 46.Qh6 Rb1!!) 44...Qxc4 45.bxc4 Kf4-+
44.Qc1 Qd4+ 45.Ka3

46...Qf4

47.Qh1
47.Qxf4+ exf4with a winning ending for black
47...Rxc2 48.Qh8+ Kf5 49.Qf8 Qc1+ 50.Kb4 Qd2+ and black soon gives checkmat 0-1
