Tashkent 10: More peace

by Alejandro Ramirez
11/1/2014 – For the second time in the Tashkent Grand Prix, all six games have been drawn. This means that going into the last round of the tournament Andreikin keeps his lead of half a point over Nakamura and Mamedyarov, while MVL and Jobava are only another half a point away. Caruana and Jobava seem like the survivors today, as both Karjakin and Giri had good winning chances.

The top and the bottom: Gelfand is last with 3.0/10, Andreikin leads with 6.5/10

Giri, Anish ½-½ Jobava, Baadur
Jobavas committed severely to an attack on the kingside, and when it ran out of steam it was Giri's turn to strike. The Dutch player could not finish the game off despite having good chances to a very sizeable advantage and in the end Jobava somehow escaped.

1.Nf3 c5 2.c4 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 5.Nb5 d6 6.N1c3 a6 7.Na3 Be6 This variation reminds me of the Kalashnikov Sicilian, but in this case White does not have to go e4, weakening his d4 square, but simply develop his bishop with a Fianchetto. 8.g3 f5 9.Bg2 Nf6 10.0-0 Be7 11.e4 11.Nd5!? 11...fxe4 12.Nxe4 0-0 13.b3 Kh8 14.Nc2 Bg4 15.Qd2 Qd7 16.Bb2 Nxe4 17.Bxe4 Bf3 18.Qd5 Qg4 19.Rae1 Qh5 20.Re3 Bxe4 21.Qxe4 The structure favors White, but Black still has some counterplay on the kingside. Rf6 22.Bc1 Raf8 23.Rd3 Rg6 24.Rd5 Bh4 Jobava is clearly gunning for some kind of sacrifice on g3, but at the moment there are no clear threats. That being said it is also not easy for Giri to make progress as he cannot leave his kingside unguarded. 25.Ba3 Be7 26.Bc1 Qh3 27.Be3 Qh5 28.a3 Rg4 29.Qg2 Qe8 30.Nb4 h5 31.c5! Well timed. Now that Jobava retreated his queen to push his h-pawn Giri has some t ime to create threats on his own, specifically in the center. Nxb4 31...dxc5 32.Nxc6 Qxc6 33.Rxe5 loses either c5 or h5, and the game either way. 32.axb4 Qg6 33.Rfd1 dxc5 34.Rxe5 it's hard to understand why Giri wanted this pawn out of all the ones that he could have taken. 34.Rd7 Bf6 35.bxc5 looks pretty lethal, with b7 falling next. 34...Bf6 35.Bxc5 35.Rxc5 Rxb4 36.Qf3 now at least the queen attacks h5, which is surprisingly hard to defend Rxb3 37.Rd7 with strong threats. 35.Qf3 is some strong computer move, but who would ever play that. 35...Bxe5 36.Bxf8 h4 37.Be7?! Why put the bishop on e7? 37.Bc5 preserved a sizeable advantage. hxg3? 38.Rd8+ is not possible. Kh7 39.Qh3+ Qh6 40.Qxg4 Qxh2+ 41.Kf1 and in this line f2 is covered, so there is no Qxf2 checkmate. 37...hxg3 38.Rd8+ Kh7 39.Qh3+ Qh6 40.Qxh6+ Kxh6 41.hxg3 Now this endgame is better for White, but far from won. Re4 42.Rd7 b5 43.Bc5 Re1+ 44.Kg2 Ra1 45.Kf3 Kh7 46.Rd3 Bb2 47.Ke4 Ba3 48.Kd5 Rc1 49.Bd6 Rc8 50.Ke6 Kg6 51.f3 Rc6 52.Kd7 Rc2 53.Ke6 Rc6 54.Ke7 Rc2 55.g4 Re2+ 56.Kd7 Rc2 Giri simply doesn't find a good way to make progress. 57.Ke6 Re2+ 58.Kd5 Rc2 59.f4 Kf7 60.g5 Kg6 61.Ke6 Re2+ 62.Kd7 Re4 63.Be5 Bc1 64.Rf3 Kf5 65.Bxg7 Bxf4 66.Kc6 Kxg5 67.Kd5 Kf5 68.Bh6 Rxb4 69.Kc5 Rxb3 ½–½

Giri getting ready for a long game

Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar ½-½ Vachier-Lagrave, Maxime
An entertaining queen-less game. After many melees MVL ended up down a pawn but with two bishops to strongly compensate for it. He lost his way and his initiative evaporated, allowing Mamedyarov to win another pawn. Yet, somehow, his position was still not completely hopeless and the Azerbaijani could not find a way to win up two pawns.

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 c5 4.dxc5 Well, that is one way of side-stepping the Fianchetto Benoni. However this move is not supposed to be dangerous. Qa5+ 4...Na6 also makes sense. 5.Nc3 Bg7 6.Bg2 Nc6 7.Qa4 Qxc5 8.Be3 Qb4 9.Qxb4 Nxb4 10.Rc1 0-0 11.Nh3 d6 12.Nf4 Bf5 13.0-0 g5!? an interesting idea. The knight doesnt' have any good place to go to. 14.Nh3 14.Nd3!? Nxd3 15.exd3 Bxd3 16.Rfe1 Bxc4 17.b3 Be6 18.Bxg5 14.Nfd5 Nfxd5 15.Nxd5 Nxd5 16.Bxd5 Bxb2= 14...h6 15.Bd2 Rac8 16.b3 Nc6?! 16...Nd7! 17.f4 gxf4 18.Rxf4 Bd7 19.Rh4 White's pressure on h6 is annoying. Ne5!? A strange move. MVL wants to forcefully get rid of the pressure on h6, but he gives up b7 to do so. 20.Bxb7 Ng6 21.Bxc8 Rxc8 The rook is trapped so MVL gets back his exchange, but not his pawn. 22.Nf4 22.Rxh6? Bxh6 23.Bxh6 Bxh3-+ 22...Nxh4 23.gxh4 Kh7 24.Nfd5 Nxd5 25.Nxd5 e6 26.Nf4 Rg8 27.Kf1 Be5 Black should have enough compensation here with the pair of bishops and the open g-file. 28.Be3 Rg4? 28...a6! No reason to give up this important pawn. 29.Nd3 Bxh2 30.Bxa7 e5 31.Bf2 f5 32.Nb4 32.c5 also looked very dangerous. 32...f4 33.c5 dxc5 34.Rxc5 Rg7 35.Rxe5 White's up two pawns now. f3! 36.Re3 fxe2+ 37.Kxe2 Bg4+ 38.Kf1 Bd6 39.Nd3 Ra7 The smoke has cleared somewhat. White is up two pawns and the only thing to show for it is the pair of bishops. Surprisingly, winning is still not trivial, and Mamedyarov does not find a way. 40.Bg3 Bf8 41.Nf2 Bh5 42.a4 Rb7 43.Ne4 43.a5 was maybe a better try. 43...Bd1 44.Nd2 Bb4 45.Nc4 45.Be1 Bxd2 46.Bxd2 Bxb3 should be a draw. The opposite colored bishops make it hard to make progress. 45...Bc5 46.Re5 Bb4 47.Rb5 Rxb5 48.axb5 Bxb3 49.Ne5 Bc5 50.Nd7 Bc4+ 51.Kg2 Bd4 52.b6 Bd5+ 53.Kf1 Kg6 54.Bf2 Bf6 55.h5+ Kf5 56.Nxf6 ½–½

Mamedyarov,S2764Vachier Lagrave,M2757½–½2014E60Tashkent FIDE GP10

One, two, three... one, how am I down two pawns?! This probably went
through MVL's head at some point, but probably not when this picture was taken.

An incredulous Mamedyarov could not find a way to win up
two pawns, and there was no easy route

Nakamura, Hikaru ½-½ Jakovenko, Dmitry
Jakovenko's Lasker Defense holds steady. Despite missing an immediate perpetual the Russian's position was still too difficult to crack and the game was drawn in a queen and rook endgame where one side or another was going to be perpetual checked.

Nakamura,H2764Jakovenko,D2747½–½2014D57Tashkent FIDE GP10

A solid draw keeps Nakamura 0.5 away from Andreikin

Caruana, Fabiano ½-½ Karjakin, Sergey
The Italian's attack on the kingside brought no dividends while Karjakin's attack on the queenside left him with a powerful position and a passed a-pawn. Karjakin missed a couple of chances to consolidate, then a brilliancy that would have forced Caruana to resign (which to be fair was almost impossible to find), and finally a transposition into a won endgame. After all that Caruana finally brought home the draw.

Ba6 15.Re1 Rc8 16.Re3 Re8 17.h4 Re7 18.h5 White hopes to not lose his c3 pawn, because his position collapses. Black hopes not to get mated, because, well, is checkmate. Rec7 19.Bb2 Nc4 20.Nxc4 Bxc4 21.hxg6 hxg6 22.a4 b5 23.axb5 Rb7 24.Ba3 Rxb5 25.f4?! I can't say this move makes too much sense. It looks wrong to open the second rank to the enemy rooks, and the move g4-Rh3 looked much more natural rather than waiting a move to do it. a5 26.g4 Rcb8 27.Re1?! 27.Qe1∞ Caruana really had to start gunning for checkmate at some point. The subtle plan is Rh3, g5, Qh4, Qh7. 27...Bf8 28.Bxf8 Kxf8 28...Qxf8! 29.Qf3 Qh4 30.f5 Caruana continues his ambitious attack, mainly because if he doesn't the a -pawn will march to victory. gxf5 31.gxf5 Ke7 32.Rec1 exf5 32...Rh8! Black had the perfect opportunity to start his own attack. 33.Rab1 Rh6! And White's attack runs out of steam, meaning that Black's has good chances of succeeding. 33.Qxf5 Rb2 34.Rc2 Rxc2 35.Qxc2 Rh8 36.Qf5 Rh6 37.Rb1 Kf8 38.Qf3 a4? Human, but only good enough to draw. 38...Ba6‼ Perhaps with more time Karjakin would have been able to f ind this resource. The main point is that b7 is now covered. 39.Qxd5 a4-+ the pawn just keeps on marching. Of course this is just a computer line, but it claims th at its completely winning; basically White cannot defend his king and the advance of the a-pawn at the same time. 39.Rb7? White's counterplay is in time to draw, but not like this. 39.Rb8+! Kg7 40.Rb7 Qe1+ 41.Bf1 Qxf1+ 42.Qxf1 Bxf1 43.Kxf1= 39...f6? 39...Qe1+! 40.Bf1 Qxf1+ 41.Qxf1 Bxf1 42.Kxf1 a3 43.Ra7 Rh1+ 44.Kg2 Ra1 seems like it is simply a lot endgame. Black will put his pawn on a2 and march his king forward, taking c3 and d4 (maybe after exchanging f7 for e5). 40.Rb8+ Kf7 41.Rb7+ Kf8 ½–½

Lots of maneuvering in a positoin that was locked up by very powerful knights on d4 and d5 that were supported by more knights. Eventually the game was drawn though there was still life left in the position.
