Sochi: Karjakin searches for his form

by Marco Baldauf
5/9/2016 – After winning the Candidates Tournament in Moscow Sergey Karjakin took a break from playing but at the Russian Team Championship in Sochi he is back at the board. However, the World Champion Challenger does not seem to be in top form yet. In round six he was convincingly outplayed by Peter Svidler and in round seven he almost lost against Vladimir Kramnik.

Karjakin searches for his form in Sochi

The Russian Team Championship in Sochi is Sergey Karjakin's first event with classical time control after he won the Candidates Tournament in Moscow in March. But he seems to have trouble to continue to play the fantastic chess he had shown during the Candidates.

Karjakin plays for Legacy Square Capital Moscow and joined the event in round two. Karjakin played with White against Alexander Grischuk, who had no trouble at all to draw the game. After this draw Karjakin did not play in rounds three, four and five, but in round six he was back at the board and faced his old rival Peter Svidler, his rival in the Candidates Tournament and the World Cup.

Karjakin (right) against Svidler: In the Candidates Tournament they drew both of their games, in the World Cup Karjakin triumphed after a bad start.

Be6 14...Nh5!? was successfully played by Svidler in October 2014. In CBM 163 Postny gives ...Nh5 an exclamation mark. However, Svidler might not have been entirely convinced about the merits of ...Nh5 and decided to play ...Be6 instead. 15.Nc4 Qf6 16.Be3N 16.Ne3? is a mistake that allows Black to carry out his plan without too much trouble: Nf4 17.Qc4 Nxg2! 18.Kxg2 Bxh3+ 19.Kxh3 Qxf3+ 20.Kh2 Nd4 21.Rf1 Qh5+ 22.Kg2 Qf3+ 23.Kh2 Bd6 24.c3 Qh5+ 25.Kg2 Qf3+ 26.Kh2 Qh5+ 27.Kg2 Qf3+ 1/2-1/2 (27) Karjakin,S (2767)-Svidler,P (2732) Baku 2014 CBM 163 [Postny,E] 16...Nf4 17.Bxf4 Qxf4 18.c3 and the pawn on e5 is very weak.

Karjakin's improvement. In a previous game he played 16.Be3 Rab8 17.Red1 Nxe4 18.Ba4 Ng3 19.fxg3 Bxc4 20.Qxc4 Bxe3+ and Black had no problems. 21.Kh2 Nxa5 22.Qe4 Bb6 23.Rd5 Nb7 24.Rxe5 Qf6 25.Qxb4 Nc5 26.Qf4 Qxf4 27.gxf4 Ba7 28.b3 Rb4 29.Bc6 Rxf4 30.Ra5 Ne6 31.Rxa6 Bc5 32.Re1 Nd4 33.Nxd4 Rxd4 34.Re2 h5 35.Ra4 Rfd8 36.Rxd4 Bxd4 37.Re8+ Rxe8 38.Bxe8 Kf8 39.Bc6 h4 40.g4 hxg3+ 41.Kxg3 1/2-1/2 (41) Karjakin,S (2770)-Svidler,P (2743) Kazan 2014 16...bxc3 17.bxc3 Nh5!? Apparently Karjakin did not spend too much time on this move during his preparations. However, he now invested no less than 32 minutes to find the best reply. 17...Rab8 18.Bc2 18.Ba4?! Bxc4 19.Qxc4 Nxa5 20.Qxa6 Ra8 21.Qe2 Nb3 22.Ra2 Nxc1 23.Rxc1= 18...Rb5 is a typical motive. 19.Nfxe5 19.Ba4 Bxc4 20.Qxc4 Nxa5 20...Rxa5?! 21.Bxh6!± 21.Qe2 Rbb8∞ 19...Nxe5 20.Nxe5 Bxf2+ 21.Qxf2 Rxe5 and White has the pair of bishops though his structure is shattered. Moreover, the pawn on a6 might become weak and White might play Bf4 followed by e5 to start an attack. 22.Bf4 Rc5 23.e5 Nd5 24.Bd2 Nxc3 25.Rac1! 18.g4 Nf4 18...Rab8! to push White's bishop to a2 first would have been better. 19.Ba2 Nf4 20.Bxf4 exf4 and Black's threat ...h5 forces White to exchange the bishop on e6 - but under less favorable conditions than in the game. 21.Ncd2 Bxa2 22.Rxa2 19.Bxf4 exf4 20.Ncd2 Rfd8 21.e5 Rab8 White is under fire - the opening definitely did not go well for him: Black occupies both open files, his king is safer and all his pieces are on good positions. White, however, needs a couple of moves to consolidate his position. 22.Rab1 White sacrifies a pawn to stop Black from becoming too active. 22.Bxe6 Qxe6 23.Qxa6 Rb2 24.Red1 24.Rad1 Ra2 24...Qd5 Black has more than enough compensation for the pawn - the pawn on e5 is weak. 22...Nxa5 23.Bc2 23.Bxe6 Qxe6 24.Rxb8 Rxb8 and even if White wins back his pawn with Qe4 and Qxf4 he is still worse. 23...Rxb1 24.Rxb1 Bd5! preventing attacking ideas and protecting f4. 25.Be4 25.Qd3 g6 25.Qxa6 Nc4! 26.Nxc4 Bxf3-+ 25...Nc6 26.Bxd5 Rxd5 27.Qe4 27.Qxa6 Nxe5 28.Qa8+ Rd8 29.Rb8 Rxb8 30.Qxb8+ Kh7 31.Qb1+ g6 and Black is a solid pawn up. 27...Qe6 28.Nc4 28.Nb3 Bb6 28...Nxe5? 29.Nfd4 Qg6 29...Qd7 30.Nxc5 Rxc5 31.Rb8++- 30.Nxc5 Rxc5 31.Rb8+ Kh7 32.Qa8!

The dust has settled and Svidler is a clear pawn up which is supported by a fantastic bishop and a strong black queen. 35.Nf5 Before making any long-term decisions Svidler tries to improve his king's position.

In round seven Karjakin played with Black against Vladimir Kramnik, who is in splendid shape in Sochi. Not the easiest of match-ups.

Karjakin and Kramnik began their tense game in a relaxed mood.

1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 c5 3.Bg2 Nc6 4.0-0 e5 5.c4 d5 Kramnik plays King's Indian with colors reversed and tries to use his extra tempo with concrete play! 6.Qa4 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.Nc3 Be6= 6...Bd6 7.d4!? 7.Ng5 0-0 8.cxd5 Nd4 9.e3 Ne2+ 10.Kh1 Bf5 11.Qc4 Nxc1 12.Rxc1 Ng4 13.Nh3 e4 14.Nc3 Ne5 15.Qf1 Bxh3 16.Bxh3 f5 17.Rc2 Rf6 18.Rd1 Nd3 19.f4 c4 20.b3 cxb3 21.axb3 Nb4 22.Rcc1 Nd3 23.Nb5 Qd7 24.Nd4 Nxc1 25.Rxc1 Ba3 26.Rc2 Qxd5 27.g4 fxg4 28.Bxg4 Kh8 29.Qa1 Bc5 30.Ne6 Bd6 31.Nd4 Bc5 32.Ne2 Rg6 33.h3 b6 34.Qc3 h5 35.f5 Rg5 36.Nf4 Qf7 37.b4 1/2-1/2 (37) Yu Yangyi (2721) -Karjakin,S (2762) Baku AZE 2015 7...cxd4 8.cxd5 Qa5 9.Qxa5 Nxa5 10.Na3 It seems as if Karjakin did not know this move. At any rate, he now thought for 26 minutes. But Na3 is not such a surprising move and the favorite of the engines. Bd7? 10...0-0 is given as strongest response by Let's Check. 11.Nb5 Bb8 12.Bd2 Nc4 13.Bb4 Re8 14.Rac1 Bd7∞ 11.b4! White gives his b-pawn to get e5 and to open the b-file for the rook. Bxb4 12.Nxe5 Bc3 13.Rb1?! 13.Nxd7! is stronger: White sacrifices an exchange to get a dominant position: the bishops pair, the passed pawn on d5 and Black's shattered structure offer White more than enough compensation. Bxa1 13...Kxd7 14.Rb1± 14.Nxf6+ gxf6 15.Bf4 Bc3 16.Nb5 is forced - it is difficult to say why Kramnik did not prefer this line to the continuation in the game. 0-0 17.Bc7± 13...Bf5 14.Nb5 Bxb1 15.Nc7+ Kd8 16.Nxa8 Bg6 17.Bf4 This is the position Kramnik must have aimed for when playing 13.Rb1. But it is less clear and more complicated than the lines arising after 13.Nxd7. Nd7? 17...Nh5 18.Rd1 Nxf4 19.gxf4 Re8 18.Nxd7 Kxd7 19.Bh3+ Ke7 20.d6+ Kf6 21.Nc7 Kramnik freed his problem child and starts to harass Black's king - currently he simply threats Nd5#! Bf5 22.Nd5+ Ke6 23.Nc7+ Kf6 24.Bg2! Be6 25.h4 h6 26.Rb1 g5 27.hxg5+ hxg5 28.Nxe6 fxe6 29.Bc1 Rd8 30.Rb5 e5 31.f4! Kramnik further opens the position to give his bishops more possibilities. Karjakin simply cannot take twice on f4 because this would allow White to protect the pawn on d6. gxf4 31...exf4 32.gxf4 g4 33.Rh5 Nc4 33...Rxd6? 34.Rh6+ Ke7 35.Ba3 34.Bxb7 Nxd6 35.Ba6 32.gxf4 e4 33.Bxe4 Nc4 34.Bd3 Nxd6 35.Rg5 b5 36.Rg6+ Kf7 37.Kf2 Black is under pressure.

57.Bf4? With little time on the clock Kramnik finds no counter against Karjakin's nice ideas. 57.f6! 57...Na5 58.Rb6 Nc6! 59.Rb3 Kf7 and suddenly Black is back in the game. 60.Bg5 Nb4 61.f6 Nd5 62.Rb7+ Ke6 63.f7 Bb4 64.f8Q Bxf8 65.Rxb2 Karjakin managed to exchange his previously pretty harmless passed pawn on the b-file against the white monster on the f-file. Now the game becomes rather technical.

Kramnik,V2801Karjakin,S2779½–½2016A30TCh-RUS Men 20167.1

Kramnik's strong 10.Na3! set Karjakin thinking.

Kateryna Lagno and Sergey Karjakin know each other from childhood.

But Karjakin's team won the match, thanks to a strong performance by Ian Nepomniatchi, who won against Grischuk.

Two more rounds are to play but some teams have byes. But the team of Bronze Horseman, currently on third place, plays in both rounds and thus has chances to score twice whereas the teams which are currently first and second have only one more match to play. The crucial encounter might well be the match between Siberia-Bronze Horseman. If Bronze Horseman wins, the team from St. Petersburg only needs to win against tailender Ladya to become Russian Team Champion 2016.
