Key moments

The Brilliant and Great moves, and the costliest mistakes, as the review explains them.

13.Qxf6: Great

13.Qxf6! The only good move here: every alternative is clearly worse.

  • Takes the queen on f6.
  • The next best move, 13.Be2, would drop White's winning chances from 50% to 40% (−1.10).
  • 13.Qxf6 trades queens.
  • Trades queens.
  • The queen on f6 can be taken by the g7 pawn.
  • Black answers 13…gxf6, taking back.

30…Bf5: Blunder

30…Bf5 is a blunder: Black's winning chances go from 46% to 13%.

  • White answers 31.Nxe8, which takes the rook on e8.
  • After Nxe8, White wins 2 points of material within 3 moves.
  • Better was 30…R8e7 (+0.41), which moves the attacked rook to safety.

Better: 30…R8e7 wins a pawn, picking it up with 31…axb4, and stops Nxd7+. After 31.b4 axb4 32.f5 Re3 33.cxb4 Rxf3 34.gxf3 Bd4 35.Nxd7+ Rxd7 36.Rc1, the rooks are traded (+0.41).

The opening

Four Knights Game: Scotch Variation Accepted (C47)

  • Both sides followed opening theory up to 9.exd5: 17 moves in all, 9 by White and 8 by Black.
  • Theory runs out after 9.exd5: too few games between strong players reached this position to go further.
