Yuloslavia 1959
1. e4, c6
2. d3 ....
The Breyer Variation of the Caro-Kann.
2. .... d5
3. Nd2, e5
4. Ngf3, Nd7
5. d4, dxe4
6. Nxe4, exd4
7. Qxd4, Ngf6
8. Bg5, Be7
9. 0-0-0, 0-0
10. Nd6, Qa5
11. Bc4 ....
White's two Bishops are now active.
11. .... b5
12. Bd2, Qa6
13. Nf5, Bd8
14. Qh4!! ....
White sacrifices the c4 Bishop in order to gain attacking position.
14. .... bxc4
15. Qg5, Nh5
16. Nh6+ ....
If 16. Qxh5, then Black replies with ...Nf6, 17. Qg5 Bxf5, and White's attack fizzles out.
16. .... Kh8
17. Qxh5, Qxa2
18. Bc3!! ....
This move serves many purposes. First it provides an escape square for the King; second, it attacks the long c3-h8 diagonal; third, it opens the d-file.
18. .... Nf6
19. Qxf7!!, Qa1+
Black has no other choice. If 19....Re8 (or any other move), then 20. Qg8+ Rxg8, 21. Nf7 mate. Of course not 19....Rxf7 because of 20. Rxd8 and mate next move.
20. Kd2, Rxf7
21. Nxf7+, Kg8
22. Rxa1, Kxf7
23. Ne5+, Ke6
24. Nxc6, Ne4+
25. Ke3, Bb6+
26. Bd4, Resigns
Black hoped for 26. Kxe4 Bb7 pinning the Knight.
If 26....Bxd4, then 27. Kxd4 Nd6, 28. Rxa7. With superior material, White wins easily. A very instructive play by Mikhail Tal.
