Key moments

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

47.a5: Great

47.a5! The only good move here: every alternative is clearly worse.

  • Pushes the passed pawn to a5.
  • Gains space: the pawn on a5 cramps Black's pieces behind it.
  • The next best move, 47.Ke3, would drop White's winning chances from 90% to 50% (0.00).
  • 47.a5 pushes the passed pawn to a5.
  • Black answers 47…f6.
  • Engine line: 47…f6 48.a6 Kc6 49.b5+ Kb6 50.Kc4 (+5.86).

The opening

Zukertort Opening (A06)

  • Both sides followed opening theory up to 8.Rc1: 15 moves in all, 8 by White and 7 by Black.
  • Theory runs out after 8.Rc1: too few games between strong players reached this position to go further.
