Tournament: Baku Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "Baku"] [Site "?"] [Date "1980.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Csom"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "65"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 c5 5.Nge2 cxd4 6.exd4 O-O 7.a3 Be7 {If White does not advance the d-pawn now, Black will be able to plant a pawn at d5.} 8.d5 exd5 9.cxd5 Re8 {This is an interesting position. Black's pawn at d7 does not look very good, but the e-file can prove dangerous for White.} 10.g3 Bc5 11.Bg2 {A new move at the time, though it is very logical. Perhaps players of the White side were afraid of an attack on f2, but it doesn't go anywhere.} d6 {11...Ng4 12.O-O Qf6 13.Nf4 Nxf2 14.Rxf2 Bxf2+ 15.Kxf2 g5 16.Ne4 Rxe4 17.Bxe4 gxf4 18.Qg4+} 12.h3 {This is a good move. White wants to castle, but doesn't want me to be able to use the g4-square.} Bf5 13.O-O Nbd7 {This move is the cause of all of Black's problems. He should have played Ne4 first.} 14.g4 {Now I have the initiative, and I will never let go! Black's knights will be left with very little room for maneuver, and the bishop turns out to be misplaced at c5.} Be4 15.Ng3 Bxg2 16.Kxg2 Nf8 17.g5 N6d7 18.h4 Ne5 {Instead, tougher resistance would have been provided by 18...Re8, 19...Bb6 and 20...Nc5.} 19.h5 {The threats are becoming clear: Ne4, and later h6, with b4 and Bb2 also in the air.} f6 20.Nce4 fxg5 21.Bxg5 Qb6 22.h6 Nf7 23.hxg7 Nd7 24.Nf6+ Nxf6 25.Bxf6 {Black's king is doomed.} Qb5 26.Rh1 Bb6 27.Qf3 Ne5 28.Nf5 Nf7 {Here I finish off the game with a bit of flair. Do you see the winning sacrifice?} 29.Rxh7 {Here Csom resigned.} Kxh7 30.Qh5+ Kg8 31.Qh8+ Nxh8 32.gxh8=Q+ Kf7 33.Qg7# 1-0 [Event "Baku"] [Site "?"] [Date "1980.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Csom"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "65"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 c5 5.Nge2 cxd4 6.exd4 O-O 7.a3 Be7 {If White does not advance the d-pawn now, Black will be able to plant a pawn at d5.} 8.d5 exd5 9.cxd5 Re8 {This is an interesting position.
