King Indian Defence Reviewed

CHESS - 24/1/10


By Luke McShane

Diagram 1


I sometimes feel a little bit sorry for those who have never played the King's Indian Defence.

At a very young age, I was dazzled by many spectacular victories with the 'KID' (Kasparov, Bronstein and Fischer all spring to mind) and its felt like a part of my chess DNA ever since.

It's not that I think it’s the very best response to 1.d4 - in fact, I went off it altogether for a few years because I decided it was positionally dubious after a few bad games and not a 'proper' way to play chess. Since then I've realised that the practical merits of the opening are really more important, as well as the fact that I enjoy the positions which arise.

The Slav is a good opening too, and so is the Queen's Gambit Declined, but the positions have less of that individual character which allows you to recognize the opening deep into the middlegame.
                                                                                                    Diagram 2


Some of the KID's closer relations, like the Grunfeld and the Benoni aren't bad either. But they aren't quite so uncompromising - it's harder to play for a win if White is in a cautious mood.

The 'King's Indian bishop' is notorious for the damage it can cause.

But perhaps the greatest compliment to the King's Indian is the number of White players who take pride in scoring heavily against it.

Viktor Korchnoi springs to mind, but there are many others who love to grapple with this monster.

The top American player Hikaru Nakamura has a great command of the King's Indian, and won a beautiful game against Boris Gelfand at the World Team Championship just concluded in Turkey.

A few rounds later, Levon Aronian had his turn on the White side and beat Nakamura in excellent style. As always, the King's Indian has a vibrant future.

Boris Gelfand - Hikaru Nakamura
(Bursa, 2010)

1.d4 Nf6
2.c4 g6
3.Nc3 Bg7
4.e4 d6
.Nf3 0–0
6.Be2 e5
7.0–0 Nc6 As Black against Nakamura I won an exciting game and the tournament best game prize using the move 7....Na6 at the London Chess Classic in December, but Nakamura's choice is certainly the sharpest move in the position.
8.d5 Ne7 9.Nd2 Ne8 10.b4 f5 11.c5 Nf6 12.f3 f4 13.Nc4 g5 14.a4 Ng6 15.Ba3 Rf7 16.b5 16.a5 h5 17.b5 dxc5 18.b6 g4 19.bxc7 Rxc7 20.Nb5 g3 21.Nxc7 Nxe4! was the thrilling continuation of Beliavksy-Nakamura from earlier this year. There too, Nakamura won a stunning game. 16...dxc5 17.Bxc5 h5 18.a5 g4 19.b6 g3 20.Kh1 Bf8 21.d6 axb6 22.Bg1 Nh4 23.Re1 (see diagram 1)


23...Nxg2! 24.dxc7? Up to this point there are plenty of complications, but this is certainly a mistake. Instead, 24.Kxg2! Rg7 25.dxc7 gxh2+ 26.Kh1! (26.Kxh2 Ng4+! 27.fxg4 Qh4+ 28.Kg2 hxg4 is probably winning for Black) 26...hxg1Q+ 27.Rxg1 Qxc7 28.axb6 Rxa1 29.bxc7 Rxd1 30.Bxd1 Rxg1+ 31.Kxg1 is one continuation, leading to an endgame which is not easy to assess. 24...Nxe1 25.Qxe1 g2+! Beginning the decisive attack based on the idea Bc8-h3-g2 mate. 26.Kxg2 Rg7+ 27.Kh1 Bh3 28.Bf1 Qd3! An excellent move. White struggles to defend both g2 and f3. 29.Nxe5 Bxf1 30.Qxf1 Qxc3 31.Rc1 Qxe5 32.c8Q Rxc8 33.Rxc8 Qe6 White is a whole piece down for no compensation. 0–1

7.0–0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Ne1 Nd7 10.Nd3 f5 11.Bd2 Nf6 12.f3 f4 13.c5 g5 14.cxd6 cxd6 15.Nf2 Ng6 16.Qc2 Rf7 17.Rfc1 Ne8 18.a4 h5 19.Ncd1 In this line White is much more slow to tear apart Black's queenside, but compensates by holding up Black's kingside play. White's minor piece placement makes the advance g5-g4 difficult to achieve.

19...Bf8 20.Ra3 a6 21.Qc3 Bd7 22.Qa5 b6 23.Qb4 Rg7 24.Rac3 Nh4 25.h3 Be7 26.Be1 Qb8 27.Kf1 Bd8 28.Rb3 Bc7 29.Qa3 Qd8 30.Rbc3 Bb8 31.b4 Ra7 32.Rc6 A typical exchange sacrifice. Rooks often struggle in closed positions, and here capturing the rook gives White a valuable passed pawn as well as increasing the scope of his minor pieces. 32...b5 33.axb5 axb5 34.Ra6 Rb7 35.Rcc6 Bxc6 36.dxc6 Ra7 37.Nc3 d5 38.Nxd5 Nf5 39.exf5 Qxd5 40.Ne4 Rgc7 41.Nxg5 Ng7?! (see diagram) Black has been struggling to create counterplay, but this allows a powerful shot.

42.Rb6! Nxf5 43.Rxb8+ Kg7 44.Qb2 Ra2 45.Qb1 Rc2!? The position is still messy (46.Qxc2?? Ne3+), but Aronian carefully extinguishes Black's counterplay. 46.Rxb5 Qd6 47.Rb7 Kh6 48.Kg1! Qxc6 49.Nf7+ Rxf7 50.Rxf7 Ne3 51.Ra7 Qd5 52.Qa1 Nxg2 53.Qa6+ 1–0

HAPPY CNY

 

All the best and Happy New Year to all Sifu's friends.  Be a tiger in the coming year.  Be a tiger killer in the chess moves in the coming year.  Have a good holiday, drive carefully.

Anish Giri at Wijk aan Zee Chess Festival 2010

CHESS - 31/1/10

Diagram 1

Sunday January 31,2010
By Luke McShane


THE annual chess festival held in the Dutch seaside town of Wijk aan Zee, reached its 72nd edition this year.

Sponsored by the steel company Corus, the event features three fourteen player all-play-all events and the 'A' tournament is, as usual, one of the elite tournaments of the year.

This year Magnus Carlsen, Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik were the top seeds, although Alexei Shirov stormed into an early lead with wins in his first five games. A full report will follow next week.

The 'B' and 'C' tournaments are also very strong, and as usual contain a strong contingent of talented young players.

The young Chinese Grandmaster Li Chao is currently leading the 'C' group.

In the B-group England's David Howell started strongly but has slipped back. The current leader is 15 year old Anish Giri, who qualified for his grandmaster title at last year's 'C' tournament in Wijk.

Giri lives in Holland, but his parents are Russian and Nepalese.

Each day some videos appear on the internet, with players going over their games in the press room.

Giri (in excellent English) happily recounted his victory over Finland's top player Tomi Nyback.

The tournament’s official website is at www.coruschess.com

Tomi Nyback - Anish Giri
(Wijk aan Zee, 2010)

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Bf5 5.Nc3 e6 6.Nh4 Be4 7.f3 Bg6 8.Qb3 Qc7 9.Bd2 Nbd7 10.cxd5 Nxd5 11.Nxd5 exd5 12.Nxg6 hxg6 13.0–0–0 Black has a solid position, but with the bishop pair and an easy chance to advance in the centre with e3-e4, White has an edge.

13...Qb6 14.Qa4 Threatening to trap Black's queen with Bd2-a5 14...a5 15.e4 dxe4 16.fxe4 Bb4 17.Bg5! 17.Bxb4 Qxb4 18.Qxb4 axb4 would give Black a pleasant endgame, with both rooks rather active on their starting squares. 17...Be7 Giri admitted that his position was rather grim. He was tempted to try 17...Nc5!? for the sake of making one nice move in the game!


But after 18.Qc2 (18.dxc5?? Qxc5+ picks up the bishop on g5) 18...Ne6 19.Be3 Black's position is very passive. White can follow up with Bf1–c4 with plenty of pressure. 18.Bxe7 Kxe7 19.Qa3+ Qb4 20.Qe3 c5!? 21.d5? (see diagram 1) A serious positional mistake. 21.Kb1! was probably the best move, when Black's position remains unpleasant.

Giri explained that given the state of his position it wasn't necessary to consider the best moves for White, as he wanted to remain optimistic! The idea is that after 21...cxd4? 22.Rxd4 Qc5 23.Rxd7+! wins the queen. Instead of 21.Kb1!, 21.Qg5+ Ke8 22.a3 Qa4 23.dxc5 Rh5 was one nice line he mentioned, where Black's pieces spring to life.

21...Kd6!! Preventing e4-e5 and d5-d6+ in one stroke. The king becomes safer by advancing to set up the blockade. White's position immediately becomes very difficult, as there is no counterplay and soon it is actually the king on c1 that finds itself in danger. 22.a3 Qa4 23.Rd3 b5! Dealing with the idea of Rd3-b3 and Bf1–b5, but Black has to keep an eye out for Bf1–e2-d1.

24.Rc3 Rhc8 25.Be2 Ne5 26.Kd2 White's position is truly miserable. Not even a queen exchange will alleviate the pressure, as 26.Bd1 Qd4 27.Qxd4 cxd4 gives White a very bad endgame (where Black's centralised king is still an asset!). 26...b4 27.Rc2 bxa3 28.bxa3 Rab8

The immediate queen exchange was also promising. 28...Qd4+!? 29.Rhc1 c4 30.Rc3 30.Bxc4? Rxc4! (30...Nxc4+ 31.Rxc4 Rxc4 32.Rxc4 Qxc4 33.Qf4+ picks up the rook on b8) 31.Rxc4 Qxc4 and the knight fork on c4 will be decisive. 30.Qa7 just sheds a pawn: 30...Qxa3 and Black's king can flee to f8 to escape the checks. 30...Rb2+ 31.R1c2 31.Ke1 might have been tougher.

But Black has a general idea of exchanging a pair of rooks (to reduce the pressure on c4) followed by an exchange of queens, after which the c-pawn becomes mobile and Black's king can advance further. For example, 31...Qb5 32.Kf1 Rb1 33.h4 Rxc1+ 34.Qxc1 Qb6 is horrible for White, as 35.Qe3 Qxe3 36.Rxe3 c3 wins. 31...Qb5 32.Rxb2 Qxb2+ 33.Rc2 Qb1 33...c3+? would be careless as 34.Qxc3! Rxc3 35.Rxb2 Rxa3 gives White drawing chances.

34.Qc3 34.Qa7? c3+ 35.Rxc3 Qb2+ wins. 34...Rc5 35.g3 Once again, the attempt at counterplay leads nowhere: 35.Rb2 Qxe4 36.Rb6+ Kd7 37.Rb7+ Kc8 and d5 is dropping off next. 35...f5 White can no longer hold the position together. 36.Rb2 Qxe4 37.Kc1 Nd3+ White loses the rook on b2, or the queen to a skewer on the c-file. 0–1

Although the flavour was very different, I was reminded of a classic game by former World Champion Tigran Petrosian (see diagram 2).


Garry Kasparov - Tigran Petrosian
(Tilburg, 1981)

Under heavy pressure throughout the game, Petrosian found the amazing move 35...Kc6!! and Kasparov immediately went astray 36.Rba3? 36.Bxc7 was essential, when 36...Kxc7 leaves the position rather unclear (36...bxc4 is also possible - after 37.Rb7 Rxc7 38.Rxa6+ Rxa6 39.Qb5+ Kd6 40.Qxa6+ Ke7 41.Bxd5 Rxb7 42.Bxb7 Qb8 a draw would be likely). 36...bxc4 37.Rxa6+ Rxa6 38.Rxa6+ Bb6 White is a piece down and the attack quickly peters out. 39.Bc5 Qd8 40.Qa1 Nxc5 41.dxc5 Kxc5 42.Ra4 0–1

MSSM MUST NEVER STOP PRODUCING

THe Young Rioneer Palace, Sevantopol, Russia.
The headline was great, in fact the producing machines must never stop, just produce the numbers in quantity eventually the quality will appear.
Sifu remembers in 1988 while in USSR, the system picks all good chess players and places them in District Sports Schools, the better ones to the country Sports Schools and the best to the School of Pioneers, where all the masters materials are moulded into world champions.
All masters material will have a 1 trainer to 4 students and all Grandmaster or international master material will have a one to one coaching by a grandmaster or at a minimum an International Master so Russia never lack of masters material as the training never ends as will begin when it reached almost the end.
MSSM must study this methodology as it was never an open secret that quantity will eventually leads to quality materials. Please read on:

New Straits Times
Sunday Guest: MSSM must never stop producing

2010/02/07

A. Vaithilingam
BUDGETARY constraints should never have been used as a justification by the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) to reduce the number of sports in its annual programme.
There are a number of avenues MSSM could have explored if cost cuts were really needed to continue without resorting to axing certain sports.

MSSM should have tried to bring in sponsors to make up for the shortfall and conducted competitions without the frills such as opening ceremonies that usually accompany these events.

It was very surprising that sports such as table tennis and cross country, which cost very little to organise, were also dropped.

In the 1960s and 1970s, very little money was allocated to fund sports meets yet we were able to organise the competitions without too much fuss.

Many sacrifices were made on the part of parents and teachers to make the meets a success with schools also contributing financial assistance where possible.

MSSM officials will do well to remember that schools' competitions are where the future stars of Malaysian sports are unearthed.

There are many athletes who have been discovered through MSSM competitions such as B. Rajkumar, Saik Oik Cum, Zaiton Othman, the Sidek brothers, Marina Chin and Nurherman Majid, to name a few.

I was involved in the organisation of the first national level inter-schools football tournament in 1957, so I know more than most the importance of schools competition for the development of sports.
The Big Four Auditors are here at jobstreet.com. Register and let them select you.


Malaysia has a base of two million schoolchildren where talent can be identified.

These schoolchildren must be involved in sports not just to discover the talented ones, but so that the ordinary ones are also able to develop physically.

A schools coach whom I know once stressed that schoolchildren must have done at least five things in sports - run, jump, throw, kick a ball and bat (cricket).

Which is why mass participation of schoolchildren is a good idea to build a base for the future.

With the decline of playing fields all around us, MSSM's actions would have delivered the final blow to the interest of young sportsmen and sportswomen.

Public interest in schools competitions must also be revived and this is where the media has an important part to play.

State and national schools championships used to receive prominent coverage but this is no longer the case.

The attitude of teachers towards sport must also change and while I understand not all have an interest in sports, the Education Ministry must have a special group of teachers trained to be become dedicated sports teachers.

I am glad that Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has increased the budget for schools sports and reinstated the 11 sports that were initially dropped.

- The writer is a former vice chairman of the MSSM technical committee.
*notes to ponder about School of Pioneers*
The school of pioneers were eventually closed after the breakup of USSR, but now some have been reopened but the ideas behind it could be adopted into MSSM.
There were some essential differences between Soviet secondary schools and Young Pioneer Palaces. The latter consisted of specialized hobby groups and sections. Entrance for schoolchildren was not mandatory, and educational programs in Young Pioneer Palace hobby groups were designed so that they didn't duplicate school programs. However, there were also some similarities: hobby groups were organized by children's ages, similar to school classes; and admittance to Young Pioneer Palaces was completely free of charge. Educational work at the Palaces was designed to cultivate children's interests in labour, knowledge, development of creative abilities, professional orientation, and amateur talent activities. There were various sports, cultural and educational, technical, political, artistic, tourist, and young naturalist hobby groups in Young Pioneer Palaces. One of the main stated principles of educational work in hobby groups was: "Having been taught, now teach your comrade".
