Svidler,P (2727) - Topalov,V (2791) [B12] Pearl Spring Nanjing CHN (9), 20.12.2008
1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.Nf3 e6 5.Be2 c5 6.Be3 Nd7 7.Nbd2 c4 8.a4N. An early novelty by Peter Svidler, who is attempting to avoid Topalov's excellent home openings preparation. 8...h6 9.b3 cxb3 10.Nxb3 Rc8 11.Ra2 Qc7 12.Bd3 Bxd3 13.Qxd3 Ne7 14.0-0 Qc4 15.Rb1 b6 16.Qf1 Nc6 17.c3 Qxc3 18.a5 Be7 19.axb6 axb6 20.Qd1 Qc4 21.Nc1 Nb4 22.Ra7 Qc2 23.Qxc2 Nxc2 24.Bd2 Na3 25.Ra1 Nc4 26.Rb7 Nb8 27.Ra8

This looks quite dangerous, and it is – for White. 27...0-0. Black cooly castles our of the attack. Now his rooks are connected and White's initiative for the pawn is no longer a tangible factor. 28.Raxb8 Nxd2 29.Rxc8 Nxf3+ 30.gxf3 Rxc8 31.Ne2 Bd8. The game is virtually decided, Black will mobilise his rook and go after the white pawns. 32.f4 g6 33.Kg2 Kf8 34.Kf3 Ra8

35.Ke3? An ignominious end to a lost game. 35...Ra3+ 36.Kd2 Bh4 0-1.


The winner in round nine and in Nanjing: Veselin Topalov



Bu and Aronian played a quick draw – 29 moves, mostly theory



Movsesian,S (2732) - Ivanchuk,V (2786) [B51] Pearl Spring Nanjing CHN (9), 20.12.2008
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+ Nd7 4.d4 Ngf6 5.Nc3 cxd4 6.Qxd4 e5 7.Qd3 h6 8.Be3 Be7 9.0-0-0 a6 10.Bc4 b5 11.Bb3 Bb7 12.g4 Nxg4 13.Rhg1 Nxe3 14.Qxe3 g6 15.Bd5 Rb8 16.Bxb7 Rxb7 17.Nd5 Nb6

18.Nxe5 dxe5 19.Nf6+ Bxf6 20.Rxd8+ Bxd8. White has a queen for rook, bishop and knight. Black should be better here, but Ivanchuk is unable to coordinate his pieces force a win. 21.Qc5 Nd7 22.Qc8 Ra7 23.Qc6 h5 24.a3 h4 25.h3 Ke7 26.Rd1 Rh5 27.Kb1 Rg5 28.Ka2 Rg2 29.c3 Rh2 30.f4 exf4 31.e5 Re2 32.Rxd7+ Rxd7 33.Qf6+ ½-½.
