1. c4 g6 2. Nc3 Bg7 3. e4 d6 4. d4 Nf6 5. f3 Yup it's another King's Indian Samisch variation - but which line will Black play ? 5... Nc6 6. Be3 e5 Normally Black will castle first, but this does not make any difference. 7. Nge2 a6 7... O-O would be the Traditional or Classical line as in Peake Broadbent. 8. Qd2 Rb8 So it's a Panno variation. 9. d5 Ne7

Novelty, Na5 is more usual in the Panno variation - as in Peake - H. Carr. 9... Nd4 10. Nxd4 exd4 11. Bxd4 c5 12. Be3 O-O 13. a4 Nh5 14. Bg5 Qa5 15. Be7 Be5 16. Bxf8 Kxf8 17. g3 f5 18. f4 Bd4 19.

This looks dubious and slow to me . Black allows the Queen to come to the Q-side, but White's attack must be quicker. 11... Ne8 !? 12. Bxg7 Nxg7 13. Bd3 f5 +0.28 Tiger 15.0 11...

White does not need to castle yet and hurries on with the attack. 12... Kh8 A good defensive move, but Black does not follow it up properly. 12... Bxh6 13. Qxh6 Kh8 14. h5 Neg8 is probably best. 13. h5 Neg8 ? Better is Bxh6 and Ng8 14. Bg5

! This keeps the screws on. 14... h6 15. hxg6 ! White has the advantage. 15... fxg6 16. O-O-O Now White needs the rooks connected. 16... Qe8 17. Bd3 Now the Rooks are connected. This Bishop is often in the way in the Samisch variation. In most cases its best position is on d3. 17... Nh7 18. Be3 Rf4 ?! A rather desperate exchange sacrifice. To be honest I only looked at taking the Rook for a few seconds. Why activate Black's K-Bishop against the White King ? White carries on with his attack instead. 19. Nce2 19. Bxf4 exf4 20. Qxf4 Be5 19... g5 20. Nh5 White will remove the Black squared Bishop to weaken Black's K-side. 20. Bxf4 exf4 21. Nh5 Be5 $13 20... b5 ?! +3.50 Tiger 15.0 20... Rf7 !? 21. Nxg7 Kxg7 22. Rh2 b5 +1.70 Tiger 15.0 21. Rdf1 ! Now White is ready to open up Black K-side like a can opener with g3! 21... bxc4 22. Bxc4 Rf7 An ignominious retreat - but Black may be able to double Rooks on the Q-side - but he has lost time - and he is dreaming as White can easily block the Black attack. 23. Nxg7 Kxg7 24. g3

! The can opener has arrived. 24... Nhf6 25. Nc3 The e4 pawn needs to be defended before the f4 break. 25... Rfb7 ?! +1.06 Tiger 15.0 25... a5 !? 26. b3 Bd7 27. Qc2 Rf8 +0.75 Tiger 15.0 26. b3 Now all White's pieces are ideally placed ! 26... Nh5 ?! Black has run out of ideas. I asked him after the game if had seen the Bishop sacrifice. He shrugged his shoulders "What else had I got?" he said. 26... a5 27. f4 27. Bxg5 ! This sacrifice destroys Black's position. 27... Nxg3 27... hxg5 28. Qxg5+ Qg6 29. Rxh5 (29. Qxh5 Qxh5 30.
