Game 35

G.Kasparov-J.Van der Wiel

Amsterdam 1988

Let’s start by taking a look at one of Kasparov’s wins that helped enhance the popularity of this line.

1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 a3 Ba6 5 Qc2 Bb7 6 Nc3 c5 7 e4 cxd4 8 Nxd4 Bc5 9 Nb3 Nc6

10 Bg5

We will discuss this in further detail in the game Khenkin-Adams later in this chapter.

10 ... a6

You will see that I will be recommending 10 ... h6 11 Bh4 Nd4 which I believe is a safer way to play for Black.

11 0-0-0

Never one to shy away from a complicated game, Kasparov does not fear putting his king on the c-file and posts the a1-rook actively, on the d-file aiming towards d7.

11 ... Qc7 12 Kb1 0-0-0

12 ... Be7 13 f4 Ng4 14 Bxe7 Nxe7 15 Qd2 Nf6 16 Bd3 d6 17 Rhe1 0-0-0 was played in I.Novikov-A.Chernin, USSR Championship, Lviv 1987 which was at least more of an attempt at play than the main game.

13 Qd2

13 f4 h6 14 Bxf6 gxf6 15 g3 Kb8 16 Bg2 was another way to play. Black, as in the main game, is still quite cramped.

13 ... d6 14 f3

Rather than going for f2-f4, Kasparov prefers the apparently more modest setup with f2-f3. However it is not modest in the respect that he will still attack, but in a different manner – a pawn storm with g2-g4 and h2-h4 is on the cards.

14 ... h6 15 Bf4
