would have been much better. 8.Bb3
Na5 A well-known mistake - a Russian chess magazine had recently given the following
moves, known to Fischer,
but not to Reshevsky! 9.e5 Ne8 Breaking communications between the Queen and Rook. On the other hand, 9...Nxb3
loses to 10.exf6. 10.Bxf7+ Kxf7 The 15-year-old Fischer has found the fatal
flaw in Reshevsky's position.

Tal - Petrosian
USSR, 1974

1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 d6 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Be2 0-0 6.0-0
This is the Classical Pirc, an opening in which Black concedes
the center in return for rapid development, hoping to strike back later.
6...Nc6 7.d5 Nb8 8.Re1 e5 9.dxe6 Bxe6 10.Bf4 h6 11.Nd4 Bd7 12.Qd2 Kh7 13.e5 dxe5 14.Bxe5 Ne4 15.Nxe4 Bxe5 16.Nf3 Bg7 17.Rad1 Qc8 18.Bc4 Be8
Black's pieces are out of play, and although there are a few defenders
near the monarch, White's pieces can break through quickly. 19.Neg5+
White sacrifices a knight in order to shatter the pawn barrier protecting the Black king.
19...hxg5 20.Nxg5+ Kg8 21.Qf4 There is now additional pressure at f7,
and the queen threatens to transfer to h4 from which it can deliver mate at h7.

21...Nd7 Black plans to bring this knight to f6 to defend the critical f6 square.
But Tal puts paid to this plan with a simple and effective sacrifice. 22.Rxd7 Bxd7
23.Bxf7+ Here Black resigned, because the king gets mated if it moves to the h-file but
capturing the bishop also leads to immediate disaster:
23...Rxf7 24.Qxf7+ Kh8 25.Qxg6 Bf5 26.Nf7+ Kg8 27.Nh6+ Kh8 28.Nxf5 Qg8 29.Re7 Bf8 30.Qh5+ 1-0

Morphy - Hampton, London, 1858
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 The Evans Gambit was very popular during the 19th Century. It provides an
excellent example of the importance of controlling the center. Eventually, however, Black found effective
defensive plans and it is no longer popular. 4...Bxb4 5.c3 Bc5 6.0-0 d6 7.d4 We can see that White has built up
an ideal central formation, supported by both pieces and pawns. 7...exd4 8.cxd4 Bb6 9.Nc3 Nf6 Black tries to
develop quickly, but the central pawns now advance with devastating effect. 10.e5 dxe5 11.Ba3 A very strong move
which prevents Black from castling. 11...Bg4 11...exd4 12.Re1+ Be6 13.Bxe6 fxe6 14.Rxe6+ Kd7 15.Ng5 h6 16.Rxf6
gxf6 17.Qg4+ Ke8 18.Qe6+ 12.Qb3 White strikes at the vulnerable f7-square. 12...Bh5 13.dxe5 Ng4 14.Rad1 Qc8 Now
White has almost all of his pieces in the attack. The position can hardly be improved because the rook at f1,
the remaining spectator, is needed there to guard the pawn at f2. So it is time to strike! 15.e6 f6 15...fxe6
16.Bxe6 Qb8 17.Bxg4 Bxg4 18.Rfe1+ 16.Qb5 Attacking the hanging bishop at h5. 16...Bg6 17.Bd5 Here Black
resigned. If you are not sure why, play out the game as Black against Gambit. Even on a relatively low level, it
should win every time! 1-0
Alekhine - Nimzowitsch
Bled, 1931

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nge2 Giving Black the opportunity to win a pawn,


but the cost is very high. 4...dxe4
5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.Nxc3 f5 So Black has a pawn, but
White has a big lead in development and the dark squares around
Black's king are very weak. 7.f3 exf3 8.Qxf3 Qxd4
This is really asking for it, as Black must lose more time
with his queen and White can occupy the open d-file soon. 9.Qg3
A strong double attack White will take one of
the few defenders of the dark squares Black has left.
9...Nf6 10.Qxg7 Qe5+ 11.Be2 Rg8 12.Qh6 Rg6 13.Qh4 Bd7
14.Bg5 Bc6 15.0-0-0 Bxg2 Black is still greedy, but it doesn't matter anymore.
16.Rhe1 White threatens to win
Black's queen by a discovered attack. 16...Be4 17.Bh5 Now White's army overruns Black in a blitzkrieg.
17...Nxh5 18.Rd8+ Kf7 19.Qxh5 Black resigned because he can't hold his h-pawn:
19...h6 20.Bxh6 and 21.Rf8+, 19...Qg7
20.Nxe4 fxe4 21.Rf1+. You can work out the win after
19...Kg7 for yourself, and verify it by playing against Gambit. 1-0

Geller - Euwe
Zurich, 1953

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 b6 7.Bd3 Bb7 8.f3 Nc6 9.Ne2 0-0 10.0-0 Na5 While White is
gearing up for a kingside attack, Black calmly wins the pawn on c4. 11.e4 Ne8 Black avoids the nasty pin 12 Bg5
and prepares to meet 12 f4 by 12...f5. White's next move prevents this, but takes another tempo. 12.Ng3 cxd4
13.cxd4 Rc8 14.f4 Nxc4 15.f5 f6 Black couldn't let White play 16 f6, when 16...Nxf6 17 Bg5 followed by 18 Nh5
would be just as bad as 16...gxf6 17.Nh5 and 18 Bh6 or letting White take on g7. 16.Rf4 White gets ready to
break in on h7, but Euwe has seen that White will still be a long way from mate. While Geller is getting ready
to hit h7, Euwe will get his own pieces into position to invade on the queenside. 16...b5 Now Black has b6 for
his queen, and it becomes apparent that White's king may come under long range fire. 17.Rh4 Qb6 18.e5 Nxe5
19.fxe6 Nxd3 20.Qxd3 Qxe6 21.Qxh7+ Kf7 22.Bh6 Now White threatens 23 Nh5, and it's not clear how Black will stop
this but... 22...Rh8 Geller must have missed this. Black gives up a whole rook just to deflect the queen from
c2, and all of a sudden it's White who's getting mated. 23.Qxh8 Rc2 24.Rc

Kasparov - Polugayevsky
Moscow, 1979
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 The Scheveningen Variation of the Sicilian Defense, where Black's
pawn cover all the central squares. 6.Be3 a6 7.g4 This is Keres' idea and is played with the obvious intention
of disorganizing Black's development, while launching a kingside attack. 7...Nc6 8.g5 Nd7 9.Rg1 Be7 10.h4 0-0
This move appears to be castling into the attack. However, where else is the king to go? 11.h5 Nde5 12.Nxc6 Nxc6
13.f4 b5 14.Qf3 Bb7 15.Bd3 White intends to open up the b1-h7 diagonal for his bishop. 15...Nb4 16.f5 exf5
17.Qxf5 Nxd3+ 18.cxd3 Qc8 Black, not wishing to be mated in the middlegame, proposes an ending with the exchange
of queens. 19.h6 Re8 20.hxg7 Qxf5 21.exf5 Bxg5 Black reminds me that my king, having stayed in the center, is
also exposed to attack. 22.Rxg5 Rxe3+ 23.Kd2 Rf3 24.Ne4 Bxe4 25.dxe4 The rook and pawn ending favors White due
to my menacing pawn on g7. 25...Re8 26.Rc1 d5 27.e5 Reminds Black of his weakened back rank. 27...h6 Played to
make a flight square for his king at h7. 27...Rxe5 allows a forced mate. 28.Rh5 Rxe5 This move allows me to take
advantage of Black's weakened back rank. For better or worse Black had to try 28...Kxg7. 29.f6 Rf2+ 29...Rxh5
Leads to a forced mate, and 29...Re8 30.Rxh6 is winning for White since Black has no defense against 31.Rh8+
mate. 30.Kd3 Rf3+ 31.Kd4 Re4+ 32.Kxd5 Re8 33.Rxh6 Rf5+ 34.Kd4 Rf4+ 35.Kc5 Re5+ 36.Kb6 Re6+ 37.Rc6 Black resigned
as he has no good defense to 38.Rh8+ mate. 1-0
Huebner - Tal
Wijk aan Zee, 1982

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0 f6 Usually advancing this pawn in the opening is a bad idea, but
here it is appropriate because the pawn at e5 needs support. 6.d4 Bg4 7.dxe5 Qxd1 8.Rxd1 fxe5 This isolated
pawn, which can no longer be defended by a pawn on either side, is very weak. 9.Rd3 Bd6 10.Nbd2 Nf6 11.Nc4 This
move, leading to the exchange of White's e-pawn for Black's, is harmless. 11 b3 is the only way to keep tension
in the position. 11...0-0 12.Nc*xe5 Bh5 Since White can't hold onto his e-pawn anyway, Tal decides to keep the
bis

hop pair. 13.Bf4 Bxf3 This wins a piece, since 14 gxf3 or Rxf3 both fail to 14...Nh5. 0-1
