27…♗d3!

This pin is very unpleasant.

White resigned.

Game 93

1.c4 c5 2.♘f3 ♘f6 3.♘c3 e6 4.g3 d5 5.cxd5 exd5 6.d4 ♘c6 7.♗g2 ♗e7 8.0-0 0-0 9.♗g5 cxd4 10.♘xd4 h6 11.♗e3 ♖e8 12.♕a4 ♗d7 13.♖ad1

13…♗f8

A very valuable idea, possibly the best that Gligoric ever contributed to the Tarrasch. To this day, his idea has only been played rarely, although it is perfectly good for Black. But I strongly urge you not to play this move, if the other white rook has gone to d1! In this game and in several lines the rook on f1 can be attacked by …♗h3. For 13.♖fd1 see next game.

14.♘xd5

At least logical.

A) Toothless is 14.♖d2 ♘a5 15.♕c2 ♘c4;

B) 14.♕b3 ♘a5 15.♕c2 ♖c8 16.♕b1 (or 16.♕d3 ♘c4 17.♗c1 ♘e5∞) 16…♘c4 17.♘xd5 ♘xd5 18.♗xd5 From this position, reached by a somewhat different move-order, Lev Polugaevsky won quickly against Miguel Illescas, who mistakenly captured on e3. But Black can save himself without any great difficulties: 18…♗h3! This important novelty promises Black equality: 19.♘e6 ♕e7 20.♗xc4 ♗xf1 21.♗b5 ♕xe6 22.♗xe8 ♗xe2 23.♗d7 ♖d8 24.♗xe6 ♖xd1+ 25.♕xd1 ♗xd1 26.♗d5 b6 27.h4 ♗d6

14…♘xd5 15.♗xd5 ♘b4 16.♗xf7+

16.♕b3 ♘xd5 17.♕xd5 ♗h3

16…♔xf7 17.♕b3+ ♔g6 18.a3 ♗h3 19.axb4 ♗xf1 20.♘e6 ♕f6 21.♘f4+ ♔h7 22.♔xf1 ♕f5

It was possible to bring the rook into the game: 22…♖ac8!? 23.♖d5 a6 (23…♕c6 24.♕d3+ ♔g8 25.b5 ♕c2 26.♗xa7 ♕xd3 27.♘xd3) 24.f3 ♖cd8 25.♗d4 ♕f7 26.♕d3+ ♔g8 27.♗c3 ♖xd5 28.♘xd5 ♗d6 29.e4 ♕e6 30.♔g2 ♗e5∞

23.f3 ♖ac8

The following is good enough for equality: 23…♗xb4 24.♕xb4 (24.♖d5 ♕b1+ 25.♔g2 a5 26.♖d7 ♕f5 27.♖xb7 ♖ad8 28.h4 ♖e7 29.g4 ♕e5=) 24…♖xe3 25.♕xb7 ♖ae8 26.♕xa7 ♖8e7 (of course, the pseudo-combination fails: 26…♖xe2 27.♘xe2 ♕xf3+ 28.♕f2 ♕h1+ 29.♘g1+–) 27.♕a2 ♖xe2 28.♘xe2 ♕xf3+ 29.♔g1 ♕e3+ 30.♔h1=

24.♗xa7
