1/21/2017 – What a round, and what a feast for the fans. After defeating Karjakin with the French, Indian player Adhiban decided to face the man-in-form Wesley So with the King's Gambit! Though he got a great position, it was not enough to win. Anish Giri also celebrated his first win by beating Nepomniachtchi. Still, the biggest surprise was in the Challengers where all three leaders lost. Annotating Hansen's fine win over Xiong, Tiger Hillarp-Persson gives a wonderful class on the bishop pair.
Fritz has fascinated the chess world for 30 years. And the success story continues. In Vienna, the most popular chess program ever was once again able to underline its premier position: the newly developed neural engine with NNUE technology won the official Chess Software World Championship!

Once more a fascinating round, and fans can only be grateful that they are being treated to so much entertaining chess. The Masters was of course the main focus, and there were more than the fair share of surprises. The first and foremost was easily that of the previous round’s surprise winner, Baskaran Adhiban. Faced with the task of playing Wesley So, the man in form, if ever such a term applied to anyone, he was left with the question of what to play with White. Based on his success with his opening surprise against Sergey Karjakin, what did he choose? The King’s Gambit!
Giri: "Great job on your surprising opening choice yesterday"; Adhiban: "You ain't seen nothing"

1.e40e5112.f4!?0 When was the last time someone played the King's Gambit against Wesley So?! Well, the databases reveal that this was the first time! Adhiban has seriously made some very interesting choices at this event. Rather than going deep into some line, he has just changed the battlefield in order to make it more even.exf4443.Bc403.Nf3is by far the most popular move in the position.3...d5405 Played after seven minutes of thought. Wesley would have definitely prepared something against the King's Gambit but to remember all the analysis on the spot is not an easy task.3...Qh4+4.Kf1The tempo that you will gain with Nf3 is worth losing your castling rights!4.Bxd50Nf685.Nc30Nxd55666.Nxd50Bd68 6...g5is another possible move, but Wesley likes to go for simple developing moves rather than clinging on to pawns with moves like g5.7.Nf300-0178.d40 Adhiban was still blitzing his moves.Re8905 15 minutes of thought! The opening is already a success for the Indian player.9.e54c679...f610.Bxf410.Nxf454 White has not only recovered his pawn, but is a pawn up and has a clearly preferable position. Getting such a position against Wesley after 10 moves in any major well-known opening line might be almost impossible.f63811.Nd3712 The first move where Adhiban had to think. 12 minutes for 11.Nd3.11.0-0!?fxe512.dxe5Bc5+13.Kh1Qxd114.Rxd1Bf511.Qd3!?fxe512.dxe5Bc713.Qb3+Kh814.0-0±11...fxe5165412.dxe52Qb624913.Qe2901Bf51214.Be3197Qa5+2515.c3497Bc790116.0-0196Qa614 White is a pawn up, but Black's bishop pair and the pretty weak e5 pawn gives Black decent compensation.16...Bxd317.Qxd3Bxe518.Ng5!g619.Qc4+Qd520.Qh4+-17.Rad1244Nd7717...Qxa218.Ng5Bg619.Nf4+-18.Bd41568 Adhiban played after 26 minutes, but this move lets Black equalize with ease.18.b3!?Bxd319.Rxd3Nxe520.Nxe5Bxe521.c418...c5!10019.Bf223Nxe517720.Nfxe523Bxe528421.Qf318Be42722.Qh335 Bxd316623.Qxd3115 The position is just even now.Qxa24324.Bxc5 621Qxb24025.Bxa7!239Bxc335725...Rxa726.Qd5+Kh827.Qxe5=26.Bf2525Be525127.Rb186Qa2528.Rxb79 The pawns are exchanged and the game ends in a draw.Rf83329.Qb3+173Qxb34730.Rxb34Ra2331.Rf3184Rxf3632.gxf35Kf7433.Bg345Bd4+534.Kh114Rd23035.Bf443Re2436.Rd18Bc33937.Rd311 Bb43238.Rd4135Bc51139.Rd23½–½
Granted it had no small portion of surprise value in it, but Adhiban got a very nice position too
Feel inspired to play the King's Gambit? After all, if a top player is not afraid to unleash it against a 2800 player in the biggest tournament of his life, what could you possibly fear? GM Simon Williams produced a veritable labor of love and produced two gorgeous DVDs on the King's Gambit. Highly recommended!

This DVD concentrates on the King’s Gambit accepted with 3 Bc4. Bronstein once said about this move, ‘You want to play the King’s Gambit? Well, Black can draw after 3. Nf3. Play 3. Bc4 if you want to win !’ Of course things have developed a lot since Bronstein’s times, and this DVD aims to bring people up to speed with all the latest developments and new ideas that are playable, with both colours in this fascinating variation. I have included a lot of novelties and interesting attacking variations that should wet the lips of any attacking player, looking for an interesting way of meeting 1...e5! With the Berlin opening now leading to dull equal positions, it may well be time to start taking a look at the King’s Gambit in more detail. The opening leads to crazy interesting positions, where Black is placed under pressure from move two.

You want fireworks? This was the board to watch, with both players daring each other to be crazier than themselves. In the end, Rapport won the dare, but lost the game...
Richard Rapport - Wei Yi
Wei Yi decided the game was getting boring so played 15...g5!? to spice things up. And boy did they ever...
Adhiban wasn't the only Indian player to display enterprising chess...
... and attracted more than his portion of curious onlookers.

Another big game of the day was between Magnus Carlsen and Levon Aronian, but not much in terms of sparks flew, and they drew
Speaking of draws or rather not draws... Anish Giri converted his huge advantage against Ian Nepomniachtchi for his first win of the tournament. In spite of the flak he often gets, it should be noted that he was winning and close to it in the previous two rounds, and it does show that the potential for a big result is waiting to be unfurled. Seven rounds to go!
Always with grace and wit, Anish Giri comments on his first win at Wijk
In fact, another happy result, though barely, was Loek Van Wely, who drew against Dmitri Andreikin. The affable Dutchman knew he was a heavy underdog going into it, but this year has been especially brutal.
Van Wely - Andreikin
Andreikin had done it perfectly, and was now dead won. Had he played 49... Kf3, the point was his, but instead he played 49...Kg3?? and let White escape. The difference is that the white king dashes over to the queenside, blockading the c-pawn with the king, and exchanges his b-pawn for the f-pawn at the right moment.
Unfortunately, like it or not, this is pretty much the way the Dutchman's remaining opponents look like. When a player, any player, shows signs of particularly bad form or results, this is a a swan song for the other players who view him (or her) as shark bait. Loek knows this as well as any, and can already hear the music: dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum....
The Challengers tournament was as thrilling as ever, and once more, six of the seven games ended in a decisive result. The curious thing was that instead of being a feeding frenzy for the leaders as they preyed on their opponents, it was precisely the leaders, all three, who fell.
Markus Ragger had been supreme as he went after his 100% score and a place in next years Masters, but fell to...
... Gawain Jones, who took advantage to make his own bid for glory and is now tied for first with Ragger with 4.5/6. There are seven rounds to go, and now the field is wide open once more.
Lu Shanglei was certainly a happy camper when his opponent decided the best way to defend his king was to remove the pieces around it
Lu Shanglei - Jorden Van Foreest
Black just played the unexpected Nf6-d7 and was punished for it. White to move and win.
Benjamin Bok had a good day, and won in 22 moves. However, he missed a win as early as move 14...
Sopiko Guramishvili - Benjamin Bok
Black had an immediate winner here. Can you see it? Black to play and win.
Jeffery Xiong was another player on the rise, closing in on the leaders, and was in third place, just waiting for them to slip. They did, but they were not alone, and the American junior fell victim to...
... Canadian GM Eric Hansen.
Our guest commentator Tiger Hillarp-Persson chose this game, which he explains was extremely instructive in the way Hansen used the bishop pair in an advantageous pawn structure. What follows is a wonderful lesson, told with clarity and verve. Enjoy!

I have chosen to comment on this game since it is quite instructive. Eric
Hansen shows us how to use the bishop pair in an advantageous structure.1.e4Nf61...e62.d4d53.Nc3dxe44.Nxe4Bd7This move is the start of an
awkward but effective manoeuvre, which solves the problem of the "bad" bishop.5.Nf3Bc66.Bd3Nd77.0-0Ngf68.Ng3Bxf39.Qxf3c610.c3g6is similar
to the game, but here White will have to spend quite a few tempi to get the
knight to f3, where it belongs. If White allows the exchange of a pair of
knights on e4, then White is slightly better due to the bishop pair, but where
Black has no weaknesses and can look to the future with confidence.1...d52.exd5Qxd53.Nc3Qa54.d4c65.Nf3Nf66.Bc4Bg4Black must play this
or the bishop becomes a problem later.7.h3Bxf38.Qxf3e6and White is a
bit better again, due to the bishop pair, but the knight is really not that
great on c3. Jeffery Xiong has played both these systems in the last years,
but didn't hurry to exchange the light squared bishop in either of those games.
This time he goes for the exchange.2.e5Nd53.d4d64.Nf3g64...dxe55.Nxe5Nd7is a line that was favoured by Bent Larsen in the good old days.
Now6.Nxf76.Nf3!N7f67.c4!Nb68.Nc3Bg49.h3Bxf310.Qxf3c611.Be3±6...Kxf77.Qh5+Ke6is very unclear,
but White can play 6.Nf3! instead, when Nd7 is misplaced.5.Bc4c6
If you were looking for sharp stuff, then5...Nb66.Bb3Bg7used to be the
line of choice. However, after7.Ng5e68.Qf3Qe79.Ne4dxe510.Bg5Qb4+11.c3Qa512.Bf6Black ends up in a position that is risky and holds too
little potential to play for a win.5...dxe56.Nxe5c6leads to the
Kengis variation. The move in the game keeps more options for Black.6.0-0Bg76...Bg47.Nbd2dxe58.dxe5Nd79.h3Bxf310.Nxf3e611.Re1Bg712.Bf1!Qc713.c4Ne714.Bf4was somewhat better for White, in Nevednichy,V
(2548)-Varga,Z (2564) Miskolc 2004. In this structure Black would rather have
exchanged one more set of minor pieces. The knights have no outposts and at
least one of them will be in the way of the other pieces.14.Qe2!
would have left Black even more passive.7.exd6Qxd6
We have arrived at a position with a pawn structure so common that there ought
to be a name for it. On move one I gave some examples of the same pawn
structure, where Black is somewhat better off. Here Black's bishop is well
placed on g7, but I believe it is more important that White gets to keep a
knight on f3. I will explain why shortly...8.Re10-0If Black can get
away with8...Bg4, it seems the most logical, in order to avoid the option
of 9.h3.9.c3From a positional point of view I would prefer to keep
Black from exchanging his bishop with Bg4 with9.h3I would not like to be
Black in such a position. AfterBf5(where else to put the bishop?)10.Bb3a511.c4a412.Bxa4Nb413.Nc3Nd314.Re2seems quite good for White.
Still, there is nothing wrong with Eric's move. Although Black can count the
exchange of Bc8 for Nf3 as a small gain, White gets his minor pieces to all
the right squares and keeps a small but clear advantage.9...Bg49...Nd7?!10.Bb3N7f611.h3and the best thing I can say about Black's position is
that it is, perhaps, not as bad as it looks. The bishop on c8 is difficult to
handle: if it is placed on f5, then it is in danger of being caught with g4,
later, and on e6 it is just an obstruction. Playing b6, followed by Bb7 is
probably the best option.10.Nbd2Nd711.h3White doesn't mind this
exchange as it leaves him with only good minor pieces and excellent
coordination. The bishop pair is cream on the top.Bxf312.Nxf3Compared to
similar lines in the French and the Scandinavian (see move 1), White's pieces
are slighty more to the point here since the knight is in the "right" position
on f3: it keeps an eye on e5, can easily get to e4 via g5/d2 and is not
obstructing anyone else.e613.a4!a514.Bg5N7b615.Bf1c5This move
comes from the Sad Necessity department. If Black just stays passive, White
can do just about anything until Black is no longer able to play either e5 or
c5.After15...h616.Bh4!Nf417.Bg3g518.h4Black will soon
succumb to White's attack, as it is much harder for him to move his forces to
the kingside (without touching the f-pawn and thus weaken the king).16.dxc5!Qxc5This position is no fun for Black. The queenside is weak and
launching the e- and f-pawns forward equals self destruction. Black must stick
to a waiting strategy.17.Qb3Rfc8If Black is too single minded about
counterplay, then he will end up in trouble:17...Rfe818.Rad1e519.Bb5Re620.Nd2and there is no good answer to Ne4 on the next move.18.Rad1h618...Nc419.Bc1!Ndb620.Nd4!The engine prefers20.Nd2, but the
exchange of one pair of knights would improve Black chances of survival:Nxd221.Bxd2Nd522.g3Rab823.h4White will eventually have to exchange a pair
of knights, but it should be done at the right moment, when Black's pieces are
in disarray.20...Rd821.Nb5±Black's knights are locked in position
from where there is no going forward.Qc622.g3and White's pieces are
moving into pole position.19.Bc1!?is more active, but I like Eric's
choice here. The bishop is tucked away on c1, where it protects b2 and cannot
be reached with a knight. Now White can slowly improve the rest of his forces
without worrying about the bishop being hit by a rouge knight (on c4). This
handling of the bishops is quite instructive. Black's two knights must look
for dynamic options, but it is hard to play dynamically when there is nothing
to attack.19.Bh4Nc420.Bg3is just as good, but less instructive. Here
White must use his powers of calculation to check that Black's knights are
unable to do any damage:b5!20...Nd621.Ne521.axb5Ndb622.Nd4a423.Qc2e524.Nc6Re8is somewhat better for White, but more of a mess.19...Rd820.Nd4Rd621.Nb5Rd722.g3!The bishop is not going to g2
just yet, but to be able to go there, at some point, is in White's interest.22.c4is a move that turns a perfectly healthy structure into a miserable
one, so unless it gains something significant, nothing less than a pawn, it
should never be played. I would not even consider such a move, but the engine
likes it.Nb423.Be3Qc624.Be2Rad825.Rxd7Nxd726.Rd1and nowQc827.Rd2keeps some pressure. Still, now Black's pieces have hope, so I haven't
changed my mind. It should not be played.22...Rad823.h4!?I'm
ambivalent towards this move. On the one hand it sets the scene for h4-h5, but
the downside is that g3 is weakened and Black can set up some tricks with Nf5
and Qc7, aiming at Nx3. It shouldn't work if White stays focused, but the
weakness is there and it gives one of Black's knights a better purpose in life.
23.Na323...Nc8!Headed for f5.24.Na3Nd625.Nc4White is
dominating. Black cannot move a pawn without digging a deeper hole for himself.
So, White should not hurry and avoid falling for a trick...Nf526.Qb5?!26.Rd3!Qc727.Bg2Qc528.Qb528.Ne5Re728...Bxe529.Rxe5is terrible for Black.29.Bd2Qc7achieves nothing.28...Qc729.Kf1!Bf830.Be4Nd631.Nxd6Rxd632.Red1and Black must defend a rather
awful position.26.Bg2?Nxg3!26...Qc727.Rd3?!Rc8?Black
misses his chance to turn the game around:27...Nxc3!28.Rxd7Nxb529.Rxc7Nxc730.Nxa5Ra831.Nxb7Rxa4is all forced. Now Black's position is
great. The knight are drawn to the central squares and White's bishops are not
participating. It's White who has to tune in to a defensive mood.28.Rf3b629.Qb3Nfe730.Rd1Nf531.Na3White seems to move aimlessly around.
Perhaps the rook is soon to return to d3?!Bf832.Nb5Qb8?!This allows
Eric to change gear and run Black over.32...Qe533.Rfd3and White
continues with Qb3-c2-e2, followed by Bg2. Black's position is worse, but
within drawing limit.33.h5!There turns out to be a tactical problem
with the knights on f5 and d5, so Black is unable to move the g-pawn; his pawn
structure becomes an archipelago with too many islands.Bc534.hxg6fxg635.Bf4Qb736.Bg2?!Black gets a second chance. Instead36.Be5!,
followed by Bg2 and Nd4, should win.36...Rf8?!It is not easy to spot,
but after36...Nxf437.Rxf4Rxd1+38.Qxd1Qe7, Black's miserable
structure is of less importance than the dynamic factors. Only way to keep
some advantage for White is39.b4axb440.cxb4Bxb441.Qg4Bc542.Qxg6+Kh843.Kh2!37.Rfd3!g5?This is where a commentator like me
will usually write "probably time trouble". But, I'd be perfectly capable of
playing such a move myself, because I didn't like the prospect of watching my
position slowly fall apart. I'd think "g5 looks active" (followed by some
white noise).38.Rxd5!exd539.Rxd5Rdf740.Rxc5Qe741.Rxf5gxf442.Rxf4and Black resigned.1–0
