too much. The move in the game is one of those side-lines.} ({Another set-up
played by my opponent in the past was} 4. c3 Bg7 5. Qb3 {but I am not sure if

as well, as there is no queen on b3.} ({During the game I also considered} 6...
e5 {but after} 7. d5 ({Nothing is offered by} 7. Bxc6 dxc6 8. dxe5 Ng4 {
and Black should have more than good compensation.}) 7... Ne7 8. d6 $1 {
Black is in serious trouble.}) 7. Nf3 d6 {This move is suspicious, but I
wanted to have a complicated game.} ({Much more solid was} 7... d5 8. Nf4 Ne4)
8. d5 {White shouldn't allow Black to push e5.} Ne5 9. Nd4 $1 {I shouldn't
write this, but - to be honest - I completely missed this move. Usually, in
the Dutch, there is only one knight aiming for the e6-square. Unfortunately,
here both of them are going to paralyse all my pieces from this central point.}
c5 $1 {There is nothing else to do. Surprisingly, my blunder allowed me to
have what I wanted - a complicated, one may call it a "chaotic", game.} 10.
dxc6 Nxc6 ({Of course, not} 10... bxc6 $4 11. f4) 11. Nxc6 bxc6 12. Bxc6 Rb8 {
I was very happy during the game. I had blundered a full pawn, but I had
received a very promising position. Ok, maybe computer analysis will show an
advantage for White, but over the board things are not so easy for White.
Black is going to build up a strong pawn centre and then exert serious
pressure. It's hard to say how White should develop all his pieces.} 13. Nf4 {
A natural move. The knight on h3 is very badly placed. Now it takes the
important d5-square under control.} ({Much weaker was} 13. O-O e5 14. Qa4 Qc7
15. Ng5 (15. Qc4+ Kh8 16. Ng5 d5 $1) 15... d5 {and the knight is still out of
play.}) 13... e5 {I was impressed by the attacking possibilites so I didn't
spend too much time on this move.} ({The plan of cutting the bishop on c6 off
by playing} 13... e6 $6 {was not really working beacuse of the weakening of
the black squares} 14. O-O d5 15. Nd3 Rb6 16. Ba4 {and White is better.}) 14.
Nd5 f4 $6 {This is too much. At least too much for engines. During the game,
without serious calculations, I was sure that White can't take. Black is far
more developed, so why shouldn't this sacrifice be correct?} ({Much more solid
was} 14... Be6 15. O-O Ne4 {but I am not sure if Black is able to create a
serious plan here. White will surely find some plan to organize his pieces.})
15. Nxf6+ $2 {White is rejecting the challenge. For me this was not really
surprising.} ({The real shock came when I was back in my hotel room and
engines explained to me that there is absolutely no attack after the simple
capture} 15. gxf4 Nh5 16. fxe5 Bxe5 17. Qa4 {I believe that Black has some
practical chances to fight here, but objectively the position is probably very
bad.}) 15... Qxf6 16. O-O ({Probably stronger was} 16. gxf4 {but this is not a
'human' move - the white king will have no place to hide.}) 16... Bh3 17. Bg2
Bxg2 18. Kxg2 Qe6 $1 {At this stage of the game I considered my position to be,
if not much better, very, very promising. White has weakened his king which I
can attack with my active pieces. On the contrary, all the white pieces are
passive and have no real future. In such positions I would always choose Black.
} 19. f3 {A preventive move. Sometimes the g3-g4 possibility can be very
useful. Also the f2-square can be a good location for White's bishop.} e4 $5 {
For the second time in that game I allowed White to capture the f4-pawn and
for the second time I believed that the pawn was untouchable... As at the 14th
move things are not so simple.} ({A much more common move was the natural} 
19... d5) 20. Qc2 ({It was possible to play} 20. gxf4 {and after} Rf5 (20... e3
21. Qd3 Rbe8 22. Rd1) 21. e3 $1 d5 (21... Rh5 22. Rf2 d5) 22. Rf2 {White
should be safe. However, there are still several problems to improve White's
position, so I'd say Black still has some initiative.}) 20... fxg3 ({It was
possible to try} 20... e3 $5) 21. hxg3 Rb5 $1 {This is the reason why I played
19...e4. I realised that I have a nice route towards White's king for my rook
on the 5th rank.} 22. Bf4 $1 {The only, but also very strong, move. White must
do everything to close the 5th rank.} g5 23. a4 $1 Ra5 $2 {A serious mistake.}

1. d4 {Finkel,A} c5 2. d5 f5 {Rukavina,J (2460)-Larsen,B (2620) Leningrad
Interzonal 1973 (1) 0-1 My opponents first move was a surprise because Henrik
Danielsen has answered 1.d4 with f7-f5 in almost all his games over the last
couple of years. His second move - which brings the game back in Dutch types
of positions - shows that his first move was only a clever way of awoiding the
main lines and possible opening preparations.  I remembered having seen Bent
Larsen play blacks setup in the Leningrad Interzonal in 1973. After the game I
found the following historical material: (loading the game with 'Enter')} 3. g3
{According to my old ECO whites best is supposed to be:} (3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Qb6
(4... g6 $5 {This move looks normal to me}) 5. Rb1 $14 {In any case the Idea
with 3. g3 is getting into a normal type of postion. With to hours for 40
moves there is normally no time for trying to refute the opponents
opening-play at the board - in this type of non-concrete positon.}) 3... Nf6 4.

blacksquared B on b2. Another normal continuation would have been:} (5. c4 Bg7

where blacks f-P is on f7 - one could see the move f7-f5 as a weakening of
blacks postion - in particular the square e6 - or as a profylactic move making
it more difficult for white to create a strong centre with e2-e4. After:} 9.

hard to get to play this move - see the note to whites 5th move. So it seems
normal to play it "for free".} 9. Na3 {Possible is 9.c4, but during the game I
saw that as an admission - because black has been allowed to play b7-b5.
However in connection with Nb1-d2 instead of Nb1-c3 it is not a bad idea.} b4 (

in the centre to be good after the Q-side had been closed. Still I guess this
was blacks best option. The game continuation seems to prove that the
text-move is to ambitious.}) 10. Nc4 {[%cal Ya2a3] White now wants to
undermine blacks structure on the Q-side with a2-a3} Ne4 {Black has achieved
control over the black square c3 deep inside whites position. Apart from that
whites P-d5 has been cut of from the rest of whites P-strukture because of
blacks Ps on b4 and f5. Still I was sceptical to blacks seup, that is build on
only one well-placed piece (Ne4) that cannot easily be supported by the rest
of blacks forces} 11. Bxg7 Kxg7 12. a3 {[%cal Ra3b4] Finkel,A: 'Important move:

managed to stabilize his center-position. The P-d5 has been supported, and
after c2-c4 the black possibility of Ne4-c3 has become harmless. In the
following moves it will be natural to try to undermine the position of Ne4 and
if possible to get through the P-advance e2-e4. Whites main idea against all
dutch setups. However I intended to let Nb4 stay where it is. This N is better
supported that Ne4 but also cut off from the fight in the center and the
K-side, where the P-structure is still not static and where whites
posssibilites for expansion therefore are better.} Qh8 {Like in whites 5th
move black decides to place his Q on h8 to neutralise whites Q on al. White
will have difficulty in using the open a-<-> immidiately because the a-P will
be well protected by Bb7. After the game my opponent was of the opinion that
the textmove had been a mistake. However other setups would probably have
given him even bigger problems:} (16... Qb6 17. Qa1 a6 18. Nh4 {[%cal Rg2e4]})

to exchange pieces. The theory is quite simple: with fewer pieces on the board,
there is less likelihood of being caught with a knight fork; and White is a
step closer to an ending of a minor piece against four pawns which in most
cases is a win for the pawns (three isn't so clear).} 27. Ra4 {Dies ist nur

1. d4 f5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 g6 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. b4 c6 6. c4 {White has adopted a
strategically aggressive and not very well analysed system of development. His
spatial advantage on the queenside could eventually become threatening if
Black develops slowly in the classic tradition of the Leningrad Dutch.} d5 {
Kamsky immediately adopts counter-measures: he starts fighting for space, too,
even if this means transposing to some sort of hybryd between the Leningrad
and the Stonewall setup. If White had known Black's intentions, he would have
probbaly chosen a different move order: 5.c4 and only after 5...0-0 (5...c6 is
too committal and would have restricted Black's choice after 6.0-0 followed by
7.Nc3) push the b-pawn.} ({Here is a somewhat related game, where Black
combined the ideas of the Leningrad Dutch with those from... the Grьnfeld!}

However, we can feel that two of his minor pieces are actually competing for
the d5-square.} Nd5 15. Rab1 Nxf4 {In order to install his bishop on d5, Black
decides to give up his knight, but this strengthens White's control on the
centre. It is true that allowing the exchange of the dark-squared bishops with
Be5 would hardly have been better.} 16. gxf4 Bd5 17. Qd2 Rd8 18. e3 O-O 19.

he cannot question White's advantage of space in the centre in any way, since
neither ...e5 now ...c5 are possible.} 20. Rb2 Rd6 21. Ne5 Bxg2 22. Kxg2 Bxe5 {
Rubinstein,A-Alekhine,A/Karlsbad 1911/HCL (1-0, 76). A new exchange that
allows White to capture towards the centre. To a certain extent this evolution
is similar to that from a classic game (where a completely different opening
was played, though).} 23. fxe5 Rd5 24. Rc5 Rfd8 25. Qc2 Qxc2 26. Rbxc2 Kf7 27.
h4 Ke6 28. Kf3 $14 {Sakaev,K (2656)-Minasian,A (2499)/Moscow 2004/CBM 100 (1-0,
52). Black's position looks solid, but he cannot free himself easily. On the
next move he captured on c5, which, after bxc5, only increased White's
influence in the centre and opened the b-file for the rook.}) 7. Nbd2 (7. Qc2

the second pawn from White's attacking formation before White consolidates his
advantage of space on that wing. If White had played c4 and only then b4, it
is possible that we would have got this position with Black's castle and some
more useful white move on the queenside, which would have made Black's
counterplay less effective.} 9. bxa5 {Strategically speaking, this is the
least ambitious reaction, after which White cannot claim a palpable advantage
