White to move and win - Find the Solution

You can't help
someone get
up a hill
without
getting closer
to the top
yourself.

& H. Norman Schwarzkopf


[FEN "8/2p5/2p5/2P5/5p1p/8/p1B2P2/k1K5 w - - 0 1"]


 

 A rare window into the mind of a chess icon, My 60 Memorable Games is perhaps the most inspirational and influential chess book ever written.  First published in 1969, it contains Bobby Fischer's objective, honest and self-critical annotations to games he had won, drawn and even lost in the period from 1957 to 1967 ­ but from which he had also learned valuable lessons.  Reading Fischer¹s intensely personal commentaries is like going back in time and watching live coverage of his over-the-board battles with the leading players of his day.  Soon he would become the greatest of them all.

In contrast with the previous edition of this book, no alterations have been made to the text other than the conversion of moves into algebraic notation, making this an updated yet accurate reflection of the original book.     ***  Pre-order your copy now!  ***

Reviving the Colle-Zukertort Main Line
by David I. Rudel, author of
Zuke 'Em - The Colle-Zukertort Revolutionized

Too Many Plates…

As described in an earlier article, the Colle-Zukertort opening excels at suppressing counter-play, or at least delaying it.  Indeed, the system owes much of its appeal to Black's inability to target much of anything, let alone the White King, in the first twenty moves or so.

However, White's vigilant constriction can take on the feel of spinning plates should Black choose a solid-yet-active course.  White can find himself trying to squeeze an egg to half its size without winding up with yoke on his nose.

The main line illustrates, understandably, the most important instance of this:

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.b3 Nc6 6.O-O Bd6 7.Bb2 O-O [diagram]
 Black has three major tactical ideas in this position:

  • He can threaten …e5 by first playing either …Qc7 or …Qe7.  White can play 8.Ne5 to totally stop this option.

  • He can plant a Knight on e4.  White could play 8.Nbd2 if he wants to put this idea on ice.

  • He can play …Nb4, forking the c2-pawn and White's prize Bishop on d3.  This move is only a mild annoyance unless he also plays his Queen to c7, at which point the c-pawn can come under double attack. (E.g., 8.Ne5 Qc7  9.f4 cxd4  10.exd4 Nb4)  White can completely ice this idea with 8.a3

As hard it might be to believe, for decades Colle players managed to stop all three of these ideas using the continuation 8.Nbd2 Qe7 9.Ne5 cxd4 10.exd4 Ba3.  Let's examine how this magic is possible...

Red Banner of Labour:  Vladimir Ragozin, Olga Rubtsova, Paul Keres, David Bronstein and Pjotr Romanovsky were awarded the "Order of the Red Banner of Labour" by the USSR government for their contributions to chess.

Cash for their labours:  The organisers of the recent Sydney International Open offered ten $100 prizes to the first 10 non-Grandmaster titled players who could defeat any of the 9 Grandmasters who participated in the tournament. Five prizes were awarded during the course of the 9 round Swiss event.

Victor is His Name
Early masterpieces of young Korchnoi
by Prof. Nagesh Havanur

At 77 Victor Korchnoi (b.1931-)  is the oldest active grandmaster on the international  circuit.  He has had a long and distinguished career spanning half a century with more than 4500 games on record.  He won the USSR Championship four times and was a Candidate for the World Championship on ten occasions.  He has played three matches against Anatoly Karpov for the World Championship. (Wikipedia).

A number of his battles from his peak years are well-known.  Unfortunately, his games from the early years still remain relatively unknown.  This is indeed a pity as it was in those games that Korchnoi honed his skills and developed his extraordinary talent.  Of course, competition was fierce in the Soviet era and Victor's uncompromising attitude (No draws!) brought him both sterling victories and stunning defeats.  These battles are wonderful to watch as they bear testimony to his intense passion for the game and his incredible fighting spirit.

Here are two memorable encounters.  In the first game Korchnoi meets with a surprise in the opening and comes up with a TN over the board.

Korchnoi & Shapkin
Moscow 1949

Albin Counter-Gambit [D08]

1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.e4








4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3 Bg4 6.Nbd2 Qd7 7.Bg2 0&0&0 is the Main Line.  But Korchnoi does not wish to fall into his opponent's preparation, so he goes his own way...

See all of this game, along with a second fascinating battle,
all laid bare with Prof. Havanur's inimitable style.
