commentary by Robert Seltzer, with some help from Murray Turnbull
1 Nf3 Nf6
2 d4 c5
3 c3 After 1. Nf3, the opening quickly
transposed into the Torre/Colle,
whichever white wants to get into.
e6
4. Bf4 Qb6 Bf4 weakens the b2 pawn and sets up the
Torre Attack. Qb6 attempts to take
advantage of this.
5. Qc2?! Better is Qb3. Then if Qxb3; 6. a2xb3,
Nc6; 7. d4xc5, Bxc5; 8. b4, Be7; 9. b5,
Ne8; 10. Nbd2, d5; 11. e4!, Nxe4; 12.
Nxe4, d5xe4; 13. Nd2, f5; 14. Nc4,
threatening Nb6 and winning
c5xd4
6. c3xd4 If 6. Nxd4, black has a slight edge.
Nc6 Developing and hitting the dpawn at the
same time.
7. e3 d5 7. ... Qa5+; 8. Nc3, Nb4 doesn't work to
simply ignoring it: 9. Qd2.
8. a3 Bd7
9. Nc3 Nh5
10. Bg3 Nxg3
11. h2xg3 f5!? Preventing the threat on h7 and
neutralizing the b1h7 diagonal. g6 is
passive.
12. Bd3 Rc8
13. Qe2 Qa5 With the idea that white won't castle,
and this will be an annoying pin. Also,
it puts pressure on the queenside.
14. Rc1 If 14. Ng5, then Nxd4. If then 15. exd
then Rxc6; 16. qd2, Bb4 winning. If 15.
Qd2, then Nb3; 16. Qh5+, g6; 17. Qd1,
Rxc3; 18. bxc, Qxc3+; 19. Kf1, Nb3; 20.
Ra2, Nc1; 21. Rd2, Nxd3; 22. Rxd3, Bb5;
23. Ke2, e5; 24. Qd2 and black is
winning.
Bd6 With the idea of unleashing the rook, and
eventually Nf7, Nd6 and then Ne4. It
also releases the bishop on d7. All of
this doesn't work to 15. Ne5, flattening
black with Qh5+. The idea of Bd6 is to
prevent this. I now think Be7 would be
slightly better.
15. Ng5 Ne7
16. Rxh7 If 16. Qh5+, then g6; 17. Qh6, Bxa3; 18.
Qg7, Rg8; 19. Qf7+, Kd8; 20. Rxh7, Re8;
21. bxa, Rxc3; 22. Rxc3, Qxc3+; 23. Ke2,
Qxa3 leaving black with an advantage. If
16. Nxh7, then Bxa3; 17. Nf6, Kf7; Rxh8,
Rxh8; 19. Nxd7, Rh1+; 20. Kd2, Rxc1; 21.
Kxc1, Qxc3+; 22. Kb1 (22. Qc2, Bxh2+),
Bxb2 winning a pawn, for if 23. Bxf5 then
Qc1+; 24. Ka2, Qa1+; 25. Kb3, Qa3+; 26.
Kc2, Nxf5 he loses a piece. However,
white might have had a draw after 20...
Rxc1. White then plays Ne5+, then Ke8,
Bb5+, and then white can't win the pawn
because the bishop is not in take. If
any other king move, Qh5 should at least
get perpetual check.
