Inarkiev-Cheparinov : as negras "tiraram da cartola" uma novidade ao 11º lance...

Inarkiev,E (2669) - Cheparinov,I (2696) [B90]
FIDE Grand Prix Elista RUS (5), 18.12.2008
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be3 e6 7.Be2 Nbd7 8.f4 b5 9.f5 Ne5 10.fxe6 fxe6 11.0-0 Bd7 12.a4 bxa4 13.Nxa4 Be7 14.Nb3 Rb8 15.Nc3 0-0 16.Rxa6 Qc8

White is doing fine and the game could continue with 17.Rxd6 and many very interesting tactical possibilities arise. But Inarkiev chose a more passive strategy: 17.Ra7 Rb4 18.Rf4 Qb8 19.Ra1 Ng6 20.Rf3 Nxe4 21.Nxe4 Rxe4 22.Nc5 dxc5 23.Qxd7 Nh4 24.Rxf8+ Bxf8

White can give up his hopes of winning, and after 25.Bc4? he is on the road to disaster. 25...Rxe3 26.Bxe6+ Kh8 27.Qf7 Bd6. We can only speculate whether Inarkiev overlooked the refutation of 28.Ra7. Black defends with 28...Nf5 and now 29.Bxf5 is impossible owing to 29...Bxh2+ 30.Kf2 Qf4#. The game ended 28.Bd5 Bxh2+ 29.Kf2 Re8 0-1.

Gashimov,V (2703) - Grischuk,A (2719) [B97]
FIDE Grand Prix Elista RUS (5), 18.12.2008
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6 8.Qd3 Qxb2 9.Rb1 Qa3 10.f5 Be7 11.fxe6 fxe6 12.Be2 Qa5 13.Bd2 Qc7 14.0-0 0-0 15.Qc4 Qd7 16.Qb3 Kh8 17.Bc4 d5 18.exd5 b5 19.Be2 Bc5 20.Kh1 exd5 21.Be3 Nc6 22.Ne6 Qxe6 23.Bxc5 Re8 24.Bf3 Bb7 25.a4 Na5 26.Qb4 Nc4 27.Rbd1 Ne4 28.Nxe4 dxe4 29.Be2 e3 30.axb5 axb5 31.Qxb5 Ba6 32.Qb4 Rab8 33.Qa4 Ra8 34.Qb4 Nd2 35.Rfe1 Ne4 36.Kg1 Rab8 37.Qd4

This is one for our collection of "my-how-the-tide-can-turn" positions: Black has excellent winning chances with 37...Bxe2 38.Rxe2 Qc6, but he plays a more aggressive looking line and falls into trouble: 37...Nf2 38.Ra1 Bxe2 39.Rxe2 Ng4 40.h3 Ne5. Now, just four moves later it is White who is calling all the shots. 41.Rxe3 Rbd8 42.Qc3 Qc4 43.Qxc4 Nxc4 44.Rxe8+. White has a healthy passed pawn, which Gashimov uses effectively to obtain the full point: 44...Rxe8 45.Ra7 h6 46.Bd4 Ne5 47.c4 Kh7 48.c5 h5 49.Ra6 Nd3 50.Ra3 Nf4 51.Be3 Nd5 52.Kf2 Re4 53.Rd3 Nxe3 54.Rxe3 Rc4 55.Re5 Rc2+ 56.Kf3 h4 57.Ke4 Kg6 58.Kd5 Rd2+ 59.Ke6 Rxg2 60.c6 Rc2 61.Kd6 Kf6 62.Rd5 g5 63.c7 g4 64.Rc5 1-0.
