book "Chigorin Defence". For the first time in the game my opponent started to
think here, but it seems to me, that it's too late already! Despite being the
exchange up, Black's position looks to me strategically losing. White has a
great positional compensation for the exchange: the c6-pawn is very strong and
with the support of White's two bishops might become a decisive factor. Also
we shouldn't forget about Black's knight clearly misplaced on a5: it was
eventually lost.} Be6 {I didn't manage to dicover any satisfactory defence for

In spite of the material equality and of the reduced number of pawns remained
on board, Black's position is critical. His king is completely out of play,
which makes White's plan to start a combined attack against the g7-pawn very
dangerous. However, this is not so easy to put in practice, especially under
the pressure of time. The black rook can be quite effective as a multi purpose
piece: defend the pawns and create a barrier in front of the enemy king.  
Trotz des materiellen Gleichgewichts und der reduzierten Bauernzahl auf dem
Brett ist die Stellung des Nachziehenden kritisch. Sein Kцnig steht vollkommen
abseits, was den weiЯen Plan, einen kombinierten Angriff auf den Bauern g7 zu
starten, sehr gefдhrlich macht. Dieser ist allerdings nicht so leicht in die
Praxis umzusetzen, vor allem unter dem Druck der Uhr. Der schwarze Turm kann

{This game has just 12 moves, but sometimes in 12 moves you have more chess
contents, than in 50 moves game. I have not a great knowledge of the opening
of this game, but after few hours of analyses with expert of this opening,
Igor Miladinovic, I understood few things about this opening, and will try to
let you know about few secrets in my notes.} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nc6 {The Tchigorin
Defense is not such popular opening nowdays, but even strong players don't
know the clear way to get an advantage. Morozevich played this Defense for a
long time and reached fantastic performance. Nowdays the strongest player, who
uses this Defense permanently is GM igor Miladinovic, as well as his wife WGM
Botsari. I had few hours to make an opening preparation for thais game, but as
you may see later, didn't find a solution for this tricky opening.} 3. cxd5

white to reach an advantage.} 7. bxc3 ({About 50 games was played in this line
