Tournament: Budapest-Moscow Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "Budapest-Moscow"] [Site "?"] [Date "1949.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Smyslov"] [Black "Florian"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "49"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Qb3 {This early queen move is justified because it places direct pressure on the center. Even though the queen often travels a bit in this opening, White is usually rewarded by complete control of the center.} dxc4 6.Qxc4 O-O 7.e4 {This is a very strong center and Black has to work very hard to achieve counterplay. This opening figured prominently in some of the World Championship matches between Karpov and Kasparov.} Na6 8.Be2 c5 9.d5 e6 {Black begins the assault on the White center.} 10.O-O exd5 11.exd5 Qa5 {This move is a mistake as the queen has no future on the a5-e1 diagonal. 11... Bf5 Controlling key central squares is more in the spirit of the opening.

Better was 16...Nxg5. 16...Nxg5 17.Qxg5 Qd8 White stands a little better due to Black's knight languishing in exile on a6.} 17.Qxh7+ Kf6 18.bxc3 Kxg5 {White has sacrificed a piece and the king hunt begins. 18...Rxe2 19.f4 The Black king is caught in a mating net after 19...Qc7 20.d6 Qd7 21.Rae1 Rxe1 22.Rxe1 Re8 23.Re7 Rxe7 24.Qh8+} 19.Qg7 {This quiet move takes away the Black king's retreat squares.} Re4 {19...Rxe2 20.f4+ Kg4 21.h3+ Kh4 when White has a forced mate in two.} 20.f4+ Rxf4 21.Rxf4 Kxf4 22.Rf1+ Ke3 {The Black king must walk up into White's welcoming army. 22...Ke4 23.Bc4 With a winning attack for White.
