Tournament: Varna Olympiad Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "Varna Olympiad"] [Site "?"] [Date "1962.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Fischer"] [Black "Purevzhav"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "43"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 Nc6 8.Qd2 O-O 9.Bc4 Nd7 {The slowest continuation accepted by theory. Black hopes to get play against White's queenside with his knights, but weakens his king position.} 10.O-O-O Nb6 11.Bb3 Na5 12.Qd3 {White doesn't want to allow either knight to move to c4, which would force him to give up his Be3. Black might then get strong play on the dark squares.} Bd7 13.h4 Rc8 14.h5 {So White draws first blood. Once he takes on g6 he will be able to play Bh6, leaving Black's king naked to the wind.} Nac4 15.hxg6 hxg6 {If 15...Nxe3, White would not play 16.gxh7+, when his own pawn on h7 would keep the kingside closed, but 16.gxf7+ Kh8 17.Qxe3, when h7 is a target and White already threatens 18.Rxh7+ Kxh7 19.Rh1+.} 16.Bh6 e6 17.f4 {Threatening 18.Qh3, when Black will have no defense to mate on h7 or h8.} e5 18.Nf5 {Renewing the threat of Qh3. If Black takes the knight he gets mated after 18...gxf5 19.Bxg7 Kxg7 20.Qg3+ Kf6 21.Qg5+ Ke6 22.ef.} Bxf5 19.exf5 Nxb2 {A last desparate bid for counterplay, but Fischer has seen everything.} 20.Kxb2 e4 21.Bxg7 {Black may have missed this move. He can't take the queen because of 22.f6 and mate on h8.} Kxg7 22.Nxe4 1-0 [Event "Varna Olympiad"] [Site "?"] [Date "1962.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Fischer"] [Black "Purevzhav"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "43"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 Nc6 8.Qd2 O-O 9.Bc4 Nd7 {The slowest continuation accepted by theory.
