Oleksienko Mikhailo - Naumkin Igor
Moscow Open 2008 (Round 5), 2008
Very powerful game was lead by the GM from Ukraine – Mikhail Oleksienko
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nc6 4.Ngf3 Nf6 5.e5 Nd7 6.Be2 f6 7.exf6 Qxf6 8.Nf1 Bd6 9.Ne3 b6 10.0–0 Bb7 11.c4 Ne7 12.b3 h6 13.Bb2 0–0 14.Rc1 Rad8
15.Rc2!
with an idea ñ4-ñ5 as required
15...dxc4
It is a responsible decision. Black decided to open a position, especially for a bishop. However, Mikhail plays on the center
16.d5! Qg6 17.Rxc4
Now, white rook is ready to move on g4, and then by means of support Bb2, to attack the king...
17...Bf4
18.Rxf4!
It appears, that black has nothing to do... And white plays rather well!
18...Rxf4 19.dxe6 Qxe6?!
[In any case black should have choosen 19...Bxf3 20.Bxf3 Qxe6 21.Nd5 Rxf3 22.Nxe7+ Qxe7 23.Qxf3 and the Bishop is very strong]
20.Nd4!
It is obvious, that black has some troubles...
20...Qf7 21.Bc4 Nd5 22.Nxd5 Bxd5 23.Nc6!+- Bxc4 24.Nxd8 Qe8 25.bxc4 Qxd8 26.Qd5+ Rf7 27.Re1 Qf8 28.Re6
it is impossible to save the game...
28...Nc5 29.Ba3! c6 30.Rxc6 Qe8 31.Kf1! Kh8 32.Bxc5 bxc5 33.g3 Rd7 34.Re6 Qf7 35.Qa8+ Kh7 36.Qe4+ g6 37.h4 h5 38.Re5 Kg7 39.Rxc5 Re7 40.Re5 Rc7 41.Re6 1–0
Good game. Igor have nothing to do but to say: I'll be back...
Iljushin Alexei - Inarkiev Ernesto
Moscow Open 2008 (Round 5), 2008
Ernesto, at least has returned after defeat in the first round. And receiving the positions, fights up to the end, using maximum of chances from any position.
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.h3 0–0 6.Be3 c5 7.d5 b5!
Going to Volga gambit
8.cxb5 a6 9.bxa6 Qa5! 10.Qd2 Nbd7 11.Nf3 Bxa6 12.Bxa6 Qxa6
Black has intercepted the initiative – white king has already to be at g1. And now white is forced to play the worse ending.
13.Qe2 Rfb8! 14.Qxa6 Rxa6 15.Rb1
15...Nb6 16.Nd2 Na4
there is a standard maneuver to weaken the pawns structure
17.Ke2 Nd7
[17...Ne8!?]
18.Rhc1 Nxb2 19.Rc2
19...f5!? 20.Rcxb2 Rxb2 21.Rxb2 Bxc3 22.Rb7 Nf6 23.Rxe7 Rxa2
[23...Bxd2 24.Bxd2 Nxe4 25.Bh6 Rxa2+ 26.Ke3]
24.f3 Nh5 25.Kd3 Bf6 26.Rb7 f4 27.Bg1 Ng3 28.Nc4 Rxg2 29.Bxc5 dxc5 30.e5 Bh4 31.e6 Re2 32.Nd6
32...Re3+ 33.Kc4 Nf5 34.Nxf5 gxf5 35.Rf7 Rxf3 36.d6 Re3 37.Kd5 c4 38.Rxf5 c3 39.Rxf4 Rd3+ 40.Kc6 c2 41.Rc4 Bg3 42.d7 Kf8 43.Rxc2 Ke7 44.Re2
44...h5?!
There is the only moment in the game where Ernesto played imprecise.
45.h4!
making it harder for black
45...Rd4 46.Rg2 Bxh4 47.Rh2 Rg4 48.Rh1 Rf4 49.Rh3 Re4 50.Kd5 Ra4 51.Kc6 Rd4 52.Rh1 Rd6+ 53.Kb5 Bf6 54.Rxh5 Kxe6 55.Rh7 Rd1 56.Kc4 Be7 57.Rh3 Rxd7
It is difficult to play having rook against rook+bishop...
58.Re3+ Kf5 59.Re2 Bf6 60.Re1 Be5 61.Rh1 Rd4+ 62.Kc5 Rd7 63.Rh5+ Ke4 64.Rh4+ Bf4 65.Rg4 Rc7+ 66.Kb5 Ke5 67.Rh4 Be3 68.Rh5+ Kd6 69.Rh3 Bd4 70.Rh6+ Kd5 71.Rh5+ Be5 72.Rg5 Rb7+ 73.Ka5 Kd4 74.Rh5 Rb8 75.Rg5 Bc7+ 76.Ka6 Kc4 77.Rh5 Bd6 78.Ka7 Rb2 79.Rg5 Bc5+ 80.Ka8 Kb5 81.Kb7 Ra2 82.Rg6 Ra7+ 83.Kc8 Bb6 84.Re6 Rg7 85.Rh6 Rc7+ 86.Kb8 Ka6
87.Rg6??
[87.Rd6!]
87...Rd7
now the position is lost.
88.Rg8 Rb7+ 89.Kc8 Rc7+ 90.Kb8 Rc6! 91.Re8 Bc5 92.Ka8 Bd6 93.Rd8 Kb6
Zugzwang
94.Rg8 Rc5 0–1
