Tournament: USSR Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "USSR"] [Site "?"] [Date "1982.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Kupreichik"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [PlyCount "60"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Be2 {The first surprise. Kupreichik usually chooses a more aggressive system, involving f2-f4 and Qf3.} Nf6 7.Be3 Be7 8.f4 O-O 9.Qd2 {Kupreichik remains true to himself, heading for a complicated position with opposite side castling. White's chosen plan seems quite promising, since there are good prospects for a kingside pawnstorm.} e5 {An energetic Black counterblow in the center, turns the game into different channels.} 10.Nf3 {10.Nf5 Bxf5 11.exf5 d5 gives Black an initiative.} Ng4 11.f5 {Now all th at remains for White is to play 12.Nd5 and his advantage will be beyond doubt. But as so often happens, that one tempo just isn't there.} Nb4 {With the threat of 12...Nxe3 and 13...Nxc2 winning White's queen.} 12.Bd3 {12.O-O-O d5 13.a3 Nxe3 14.Qxe3 d4 15.Qf2 Qc7 with an attack on the White king.} d5 13.Nxd5 Nxd5 14.exd5 e4 {The unfortunate position of White's pieces and especially of his king makes this combination possible. The coming pin on the e-file destroys White, aided by the diagonal pins on c1-h6 and g1-a7.} 15.Bxe4 Re8 {Now the combination yields two almost symmetrical variations, depending on which side White castles.} 16.O-O-O {Black's task would have been much more complicated after 16.O-O.} Bf6 {A powerful move which opens the open file for the Black rook while taking command of the a1-h8 diagonal.} 17.Bg5 {Having come to terms with the unavoidable loss of a piece, White vainly tries to exploit Black's slightly backward development. 17.h3 Nxe3 18.Qxe3 Bxf5 19.Nd2 allows Black to win material.} Rxe4 18.h3 Ne5 19.Bxf6 Qxf6 20.Nxe5 Qxe5 21.g4 Bd7 {The rest is a matter of technique.} 22.Rhe1 Re8 23.Rxe4 Qxe4 24.Qa5 {This hastens the inevitable. 24.b3 would have been more solid, and allowed further resistance.} Qe3+ 25.Kb1 Qxh3 26.Qxa7 Qxg4 27.Rc1 Bxf5 28.Qxb7 h5 29.b3 Qd4 30.a4 Qc3 0-1 [Event "USSR"] [Site "?"] [Date "1982.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Kupreichik"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [PlyCount "60"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Be2 {The first surprise.
