f5 f6 16. Rf4 {In an aggressive opening White has sacrificed a pawn for a
dangerous initiative on the kingside, and it seems that his plan is going to
work. What can be done to prevent the simple attack on h7 with Rh4 and Qh5?
Pushing the pawn from h7 to h6 is not a defence because of Bxh6, and the black
king, left without pawn protection, will be an easy target for the white army.
Does it mean that Black's whole strategy, based on a solid positional
foundation, was a mistake? Of course not - counterattack is the answer! In
einer aggressiven Erцffnung hat WeiЯ einen Bauern geopfert und dafьr eine
gefдhrliche Initiative am Kцnigsflьgel erhalten. Und es sieht ganz danach aus,
als wьrde die Sache klappen. Was kann Schwarz unternehmen, um den direkten
Angriff auf h7 mit Th4 und Dh5 zu parieren? Der Bauernzug h7-h6 hat keinen
Verteidigungswert, weil dann sofort Lxh6 kommt und der schwarze Kцnig, ohne
seinen Bauernschirm, ein einfaches Ziel fьr die weiЯen Streitkrдfte bцte.
Bedeutet das also, daЯ die gesamte schwarze Strategie, die auf einem festen
positionellen Fundament aufgebaut ist, etwa fehlerhaft war? Natьrlich nicht –
die Antwort lautet Gegenangriff!} b5 $3 {[%cal Yd8b6,Yb6g1] One can argue that
such moves are even nicer than beautiful sacrifices. Spotting a weakness on d4
Black forces his opponent to moderate his attacking plan. With an activated
black queen White doesn't feel safe anymore and discovers that his position is
quite vulnerable behind its shiny front. Ich habe das Gefьhl, daЯ ein solcher
Zug vielleicht noch schцner ist als ein spektakulдres Opfer. Euwe hat erkannt,
daЯ die Schwдche von d4 den Gegner zwingen kann, seine Angriffsplдne zu zьgeln.
Angesichts einer aktiven schwarzen Dame wird sich WeiЯ nicht mehr so sicher
fьhlen, sondern vielmehr erkennen, daЯ hinter der glitzernden Fassade seine
Stellung doch etwas wacklig ist.} 17. Rh4 Qb6 18. e5 $1 {An excellent
defensive move with a clear attacking purpose. The pawn on h7 cannot be
protected. Ein hervorragender Defensivzug mit einem klaren Angriffsziel. Der
Bauer auf h7 kann nicht verteidigt werden.} Nxe5 19. fxe6 Nxd3 20. Qxd3 (20.

Now Black has time for a different consolidating actions. However, none can
bring quick clarity to the positions. und der weiЯe Angriff ist verflogen,
wдhrend nun das ver-nichtende Tc8-c2 unweigerlich kommen wird. Schwarz hat
Zeit, seine Stellung zu konsolidieren. Allerdings bringt keine davon sofortige
Klarheit in die Stellung, z.B.}) {[#]} 22... Rh8 {?!! The question mark is in
evaluation of the actual quality of the move - after perfect defence by White
Black would probably lose all his advantage. Two exclamation marks for the
brilliancy of this idea. The white queen is temporarily moved to a passive
position, the black rook will rush to the second rank and the combination of
Q+R+B will start chasing the white king, who was so far a distant observer of
the shells crashing around his counterpart. At the same time just one knight
on e8 is, for a few precious moments, able to keep his king out of trouble.
But the price for all these accomplishments is - a full rook! ?!! Das
Fragezeichen gilt der tatsдchlichen Qualitдt des Zuges – nach perfekter weiЯer
Verteidigung wьrde Schwarz nдmlich seinen ganzen Vorteil wahrscheinlich
verlieren. Die zwei Ausrufezeichen sind fьr die glдnzende Idee. Die weiЯe Dame
wird fьr den Augenblick auf ein passives Feld gelockt, wдhrend der schwarze
Turm auf die zweite Reihe stьrmt. Gleichzeitig wird die Angriffstruppe von
Dame, Turm und Lдufer auf den weiЯen Kцnig gesetzt, der bislang aus sicherer
Entfernung die Einschlдge um seinen weiЯen Gegenpart betrachten konnte. Dabei
reicht der einsame Springer auf e8, fьr einige wertvolle Augenblicke die
Stellung um den schwarzen Kцnig dicht zu halten. Der Preis fьr diese ganzen
Schдtze ist allerdings ein ganzer Turm!} (22... Qd5 23. Re4 {I think now
probably} Qc4 {was objectively the best option, although White's resources
were far from being exhausted. But Euwe's mind was looking for a great
adventure.}) 23. Qxh8 Rc2 24. Rc1 $2 {Shaken by his opponent's sudden and
unexpected offensive, Geller immediately collapsed. His move prevents the
deadly check on c4 after Rxg2+ Kf1. But unfortunately the black queen had
another route for the final rendezvous with the white king! Erschьttert von
der plцtzlichen und ganz unerwarteten Offensive des Gegners, bricht Geller
einfach zusammen. Sein Zug sollte das tцdliche Schach auf c4 (nach Txg2+ Kf1)
verhindern. Aber leider steht der schwarzen Dame eine andere Route fьr ihr
SchluЯrendezvous mit dem weiЯen Kцnig zur Verfьgung!} (24. d5 $3 {With this
move White can break the perfect coordination of his opponent's attacking
forces. Mit diesem Zug wird die perfekte Koordination der schwarzen
Angriffskrдfte unterbrochen.} Bxd5 ({In some analyses} 24... Qb6+ {was

Generell gilt: In allen Stellungen dieser Art kann Schwarz ohne Nachdenken
oder Durchrechnen immer dieses Bauernopfer bringen und hat mindestens
Kompensation, eher mehr. Die Voraussetzung dafьr ist, daЯ eine weiЯe Figur auf
f2 steht, denn sonst hat WeiЯ evtl. die Mцglichkeit h2-h3. Falls WeiЯ keine
Figur auf f2 stehen hat, also h2-h3 spielen kann, muЯ Schwarz in der Lage sein,
mцglichst bald auf h3 entscheidend eine Figur opfern zu kцnnen, am besten den
Bc8 (d7). Andernfalls bleiben die Linien am Kцnigsflьgel geschlossen und der
Angriff ist beendet.} 20. hxg3 fxg3 21. Bxg3 Nh5 {[%csl Rf4,Rg3][%cal Yd8g5]

able to face up to the young contenders. But despite his poor over-all
performance he did play two very attractive games with rook sacrifices. Im
historischen Kandidatenturnier in Zьrich 1953 war der alternde Euwe nicht mehr

insgesamt schlechten Abschneidens hat er in diesem Turnier zwei sehr

{Das Kandidatenturnier Zьrich-Neuhausen 1953 gehцrt ohne Zweifel zu den
bedeutendsten Turnieren der Schachgeschichte. 15 GroЯmeister ermittelten in
einem doppelrundigen Turnier den Herausforderer von Weltmeister Botwinnik.
Sieger wurde schlieЯlich Wassili Smyslow mit 18 Punkten aus 28 Partien, vor
Bronstein, Keres und Reshevsky mit jeweils 16 Punkten. Die nachfolgende Partie
wurde mit dem ersten Schцnheitspreis ausgezeichnet. David Bronsteins
kommentiert diese Partie in seinem berьhmten Turnierbuch, desweiteren verwende
ich auch Kommentare von John Nunn in "The World's Greatest Chess Games" von
Burgess/Nunn/Emms.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3. Nf3 Nbd7 4. Nc3 e5 5. e4 Be7 {
Die Altindische Verteidigung ist ein seltener Gast in der modernen
Turnierpraxis und kam auch in Kotows Partien nicht hдufig vor. Allgemein wird
der Lдufer auf e7 als passiver eingeschдtzt als sein kцnigsindischer 'Kollege'
auf g7.} 6. Be2 O-O 7. O-O c6 8. Qc2 Re8 9. Rd1 Bf8 10. Rb1 {WeiЯ mцchte am
Damenflьgel mit b2-b4 Raum gewinnen. Nunn gibt ein sofortiges 10.b4!? zu
bedenken.} a5 11. d5 {Dieser VorstoЯ ist hier weniger effektiv als in
vergleichbaren kцnigsindischen Stellungen, da der Bf8 den Pd6 deckt. Schwarz
muЯ daher nicht sofort im Zentrum reagieren, sondern kann sich entwickeln und
die Spannung aufrecht erhalten.} (11. a3 $6 {bereitet b2-b4 vor, aber
Bronstein und Nunn weisen darauf hin, dass dann} exd4 12. Nxd4 a4 $1 {
geschehen kann. Entweder tauscht sich dann der Pa4 gegen den Pe4 oder der
weiЯe Damenflьgel ist nach ...Nc5 lahmgelegt.}) (11. b3 {ist ein guter,
stellungsgemдЯer Zug. Da Schwarz keinen Druck gegen das weiЯe Zentrum ausьbt,
kann WeiЯ die Spannung aufrecht erhalten und sich entwickeln. Schwarz wird
sich frьher oder spдter zu ...exd4 genцtigt sehen, wonach WeiЯ einen
dauerhaften Vorteil behдlt.}) 11... Nc5 12. Be3 Qc7 13. h3 Bd7 14. Rbc1 g6 15.
Nd2 Rab8 {WeiЯ steht bereit, mit b2-b3, a2-a3 und b3-b4 am Damenflьgel Raum zu
gewinnen. Aber Schwarz hat eine flexible Stellung, er kann entweder am
Damenflьgel gegenhalten (mit ...Rec8, ...cxd5 und ...b7-b5) oder am
Kцnigsflьgel spielen (mit ...Kh8, ...Ng8 und ...f7-f5).} 16. Nb3 Nxb3 17. Qxb3

f7-f5 Gegenspiel suchen wird.} 18. Kh2 $6 {Mit diesem und den nдchsten Zьgen
verfehlt WeiЯ den Geist der Stellung. Er will selbst am Kцnigsflьgel spielen
und macht das schwarze Spiel dort gefдhrlicher als es sein sollte. Der
richtige Plan besteht im Angriff am Damenflьgel mit a2-a3 und b2-b4.} ({
Nunn gibt die folgende Variante an:} 18. Qc2 Kh8 19. a3 Ng8 20. Qd2 {WeiЯ

"schlechten" Lдufers. Allerdings ist im Kцnigsinder der schwarzfeldrige Lдufer
eine wichtige Figur. Immerhin deckt er nach einem eventuellen Nb5 den Pd6.})
21. Bxd7 Qxd7 22. Qd2 Ng8 23. g4 $5 {Der Zug g2-g4 ist im Kцnigsinder eine
bekannte Idee. Allerdings geschieht dies in der Regel mit mehr Figuren auf dem
Brett und zielt dann auf eine Einengung der schwarzen Figuren ab. Hier ist
dieser Zug weniger effektiv.} f5 24. f3 Be7 25. Rg1 Rf8 {Schwarz hдlt die
Spannung aufrecht.} ({Nach} 25... f4 26. Bf2 {ist der Kцnigsflьgel nahezu
abgeschlossen und WeiЯ kann sich wieder dem Plan b2-b4 zuwenden.}) (25... fxe4

mit 28.f4 fortfahren.}) 27. gxf5 {Da Schwarz nicht gezwungen werden kann, den
f-Bauern zu ziehen, geht WeiЯ zu Aktivitдten ьber.} gxf5 28. Rg2 $2 {Dieser
Zug ist ein gravierender strategischer Fehler, weswegen einige Kommentatoren
das vorherige Spiel des WeiЯen als schlecht veruteilten.} ({Wie Nunn bemerkt,
ist jedoch} 28. f4 $1 {richtig. Die Цffnung der Stellung kommt WeiЯ zugute, da
der Ng8 schlecht steht. Nunn gibt eine lange, aber nicht vцllig forcierte
