Tournament: Sveti Stefan Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "Sveti Stefan"] [Site "?"] [Date "1992.??.??"] [Round "3"] [White "Fischer"] [Black "Spassky"] [Result "1/2"] [PlyCount "78"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 O-O 9.h3 Nb8 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2 Re8 13.Nf1 Bf8 14.Ng3 g6 15.Bg5 h6 16.Bd2 exd4 {Spassky deviates from the first game of the match. The idea is to create more scope for the dark-squared bishop.} 17.cxd4 c5 18.Bf4 {This is the most logical reaction, targeting the weak pawn at d6. Black's position is solid however, with the bishop guarding d6 from f8.} cxd4 {This second exchange brings Spassky good fortune. It is hardly a new idea, however. The idea was used in a game between Tal and Keres, at Curacao 1962. Black gets active piece play in return for his suspect pawn structure.} 19.Nxd4 {19.Qxd4 Nc5} Ne5 20.b3 d5 {This classical central thrust gives Black an active game.} 21.Qd2 {21.Bxe5 Rxe5 22.f4 Rxe4 23.Nxe4 dxe4} dxe4 22.Nxe4 Nd5 23.Bg3 Rc8 24.Re2 {Perhaps this was an error. 24.Rad1 f5 25.Nc5 Bxc5 26.Bxe5 Rxe5 27.Rxe5 Bxd4 28.Qxd4 Rxc2} f5 25.Bxe5 Rxe5 26.Ng3 Rxe2 27.Ngxe2 Nb4 28.Rd1 Nxc2 {28...Nxa2 29.Bxf5 gxf5 30.Qxa2 Qg5 In this complicated position both sides have chances.} 29.Nxc2 Qxd2 30.Rxd2 {We have reached a position where Black should hold the advantage thanks to his bishop pair, but in fact it is hard to achieve much.} Rc7 31.Ne3 Kf7 32.h4 Bc8 {32...h5 looks good, too.} 33.Nf4 g5 34.hxg5 hxg5 35.Nd3 Bg7 {Black could have tried for a little more with 35...Be6.} 36.Nd5 Rc6 37.N5b4 Rc7 38.Nd5 Rc6 39.N5b4 Rc7 1/2 [Event "Sveti Stefan"] [Site "?"] [Date "1992.??.??"] [Round "3"] [White "Fischer"] [Black "Spassky"] [Result "1/2"] [PlyCount "78"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 O-O 9.h3 Nb8 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2 Re8 13.Nf1 Bf8 14.Ng3 g6 15.Bg5 h6 16.Bd2 exd4 {Spassky deviates from the first game of the match.
