GM V. Kramnik vs. Deep Fritz (7.0)
|
                      |
(The ratings are the ones given for Deep Fritz, in "The Week In Chess.")
The Sixth (#6) game of the: "Man vs. Machine/Brains In Bahrain" Match.
Kramnik comes out of the opening with a very large advantage. If life were always fair, he would have won this game easily. (He was much better.) But Kramnik does not find the best way to prosecute his advantage, and then he lets his edge slip. In the aftermath of all this, he unwisely decides to sacrifice a Knight, but this is unsound.
Shades of Deep Blue vs. Kasparov, Mig Greengard says he found a draw in the position that Kramnik resigned. While I am not completely convinced, (And neither are several GM's, like Nigel Short, or Danny King.); it does appear that Kramnik did not need to resign, and could have put up much more resistance. But it is also the kind of position where the computers can find these little surprises, as many of these lines are found only by deep calculation. (Human have a harder time seeing these types of complex possibilities, especially if you believe that your position is lost.)
<< Kramnik does not find the best
line and decides to sacrifice a
piece.
(Unsound.) Although he
gets a terrific attack, the machine
could be
counted on to find the
very best defense.
(Near-perfect
calculation of long tactical lines
are the machines strong point.) >>
<< In the end, Black may be winning.
Kramnik resigns, but according to
an analysis
of the final position by
one of the Fritz team, the position
could have held some
real and
concrete drawing chances. >>

3.Nf3, {Diagram?}
This is - of course - a completely
good opening move, fulfilling all
four of the
basic opening principles.
BUT!! ... ... ... ...
White actually chickens out
with this move.
Has the Fritz
team programmed their box
to avoid difficult and complex lines?
[ White could also play: 3.Nc3!?, {Diagram?} in this position. ].
3...b6; {Diagram?}
<< Black chooses the Queen's Indian

<< This method of handling the
"Queen's Indian Defense," was
first worked
out in detail by the
great Akiba Rubinstein. >>

[ White can also play:
4.a3!?, {Diagram?}
with a good game for White.
("The Petrosian System.")
This system was pioneered by
the great (former) World Champ,
Tigran Petrosian.
And it was later
revived and refined to a much
feared system by another World
Champion - Garry Kasparov.
(It is probably because of the many
ideas and
refinements by Kaspy
that this is considered to be the
main line today.)

5...Bb4+; 6.Bd2

Black retreats his Bishop to
a good square, and leaves
White's dark-squared QB

the board ... on a somewhat
awkward square. (This is the book move as well.)

A strange position. Many computer
programs consider this position to
be much better
for Black, MCO,
(GM N. de Firmian); considers this
position to be solidly better
for White.
("+/") Oddly enough, I look at the
position, and feel it to be very close
to equal!
(White won a nice game that was
picked as a best game by the
'Informant' series,
so I think theory
has been unduly influenced by the
result of this encounter.)

[ See MCO-14; page # 570,
column # 31, and also note # (c.). ] ].
<< We continue by marching
straight down a book line. >>
7...c6!?; {Diagram?}
A critical decision for Black.
The main strategy behind this move
is to block the power of White's
fianchettoed Bishop (on g2) by
jamming the center full of pawns.
(Pawn wedge ---> strong point
ending on the d5-square.)
This plan also has the benefit of increasing/augmenting the Black Bishop on a6.
Once again, this is also one of
the main lines ... but NOT the only
playable
move for Black! (Black has at least 7 (!) playable moves
in this position.)
***
[ Black could also play: 7...0-0;
8.0-0
Bb7!?; Black re-deploys his QB to counter
White's fianchettoed Bishop on g2.
(This is a fairly common maneuver
in these variations.) (Black could also try: 8...d5!?
"~")
9.Nc3, "+/=" (dev./center)
{Diagram?} White has a very small
advantage in this position.
This position - according to my
database - has happened, at
the master level,
over 250 times!
One of my favorite games, which
is in one of my books, (and I
have studied in depth); is:
V. Dydiishko - Lev Psakhis;
8th Spartakiade, (Team Tourney).
U.S.S.R; 1983. (43)
{White won a nice game.}
Probably the most significant
encounter of the last 10 years
(in this particular sub-variation),
is the following game:
GM Vishy Anand - GM Boris Gelfand;
FIDE World Cup (knock-out) Tournament.
New Delhi/India/2000. (41)
{A brilliant expose by Anand.} ].
***
8.Bc3
d5; {Diagram?}
Black counters by striking
strongly at the center ...
one of the most basic precepts
of the
opening phase of the
game of chess.
***
White now anchors his Knight
into the < outpost > square of
e5 ...
and Black immediately
takes steps to rid himself of it.
9.Ne5, {Diagram?}
Not only does this move get the
Knight to one of its best squares,
it also controls the c4-square.
(Which is attacked by the Black
Bishop on a6 and the pawn on
the d5-square.)
[ White could also solve
the problem of the hanging
pawn on c4 by playing
the
continuation of: 9.cxd5
cxd5; 10.0-0, {Diagram?}
with a fair game
for both sides.
Or White could simply play: 9.Nbd2, {Diagram?}
which also guards the
sensitive
c4-square. ].
Both sides continue with their
plans ... and their development.

the hope of another error? >>

(Maybe - '?!') {Diag?}
This could be dubious, Black's
game goes rapidly downhill.

c-pawn.)

Black is lost. If 27...Rb8; then
White will play 28.Rxd3!, Rxd3;
29.Bf5,
threatening a mate in 2,
(beginning with Qxh7+); and the
loose Rook on d3.
Since Black
will have to guard against the
greater threat, he will emerge a
piece down.
GM F. Gheorghiu - L. Cserna; Berlin Open/[A.J.G.]/1986. (27)
This was probably the very first
game to reach the position in MCO after 18...Nc5;
so I thought I would
take a look at it. (I thought I had
remembered that the position
after
18...Nc5; was judged to be MUCH
better for White.
{In an earlier book,
- based on this one game.}
I was
correct, but this game obviously
leaves a lot of room for improvement!) ].

{Tony Miles passed away in
Nov, 2001. I knew him from his many

plays in this position.
(45...Qa1+; 46.Kh2 Qa2; 47.Rf4+, {Diagram?} leads to pretty much the same idea.)
46.Rf4+, {Diagram?} (Is this position drawn? All the experts say that it is!)
White has erected a
FORTRESS ...
through which Black can not
penetrate. (Draw, "=")
[The White Rook only has to
move from f4 to h4.]
(But this is not the only line
for White ... it is very, very
difficult and a very complex line.

I
went to great pains to annotate this game ... NOT to benefit
a master, but to make it possible
for the average player to follow this game. I also tried to make this a
game a brief survey of the
opening, for any aspiring player who is trying to learn - and might not have
access to many books.

This
is a game I annotated especially for these web pages. I plan to annotate - in a
similar
manner ... all of these games. (For your study and enjoyment.)
