IM Jimmy Liew - GM Eugenio Torre, Dubai 1986 [Analysis by IM Jimmy Liew]

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bg5 


The Veresov Opening. 

3 ...... Bf5 4.e3 e6 5.Nge2 c5! 

GM Torre strikes at the centre. 

6.Ng3 Bg6 7.Bd3 Nc6 8.0–0 cxd4 9.exd4 Be7 10.Nce2 0–0 11.c3 Na5 

Black plans to begin a minority attack with ..... Nc4, .... Rc8, .... b5 to follow. 

12.Nf4 Rc8 13.Qe2 Nc4 14.Rae1 b5 15.Nxg6 hxg6 

 

16.h4! ........ 

This is a good way to attack the doubled g-pawns. 

16 ...... Re8 17.Bc1?!

Stronger was 17. f4! followed by h5. 

17 ..... Bd6 18.f4 Bf8 19.h5 gxh5 20.Nxh5 Ne4 21.Bxe4 dxe4 22.Qxe4 g6? 

Not the best move. The only way to keep his game together was Abundo's suggestion of 22 ..... Qh4!, although after 23. Qf3, I still have the better game. Well, Torre may have underestimated my next move.

23.f5!! ....... 

If 23 .... ef5?? 24. Qxe8 Qxe8 25. Nf6 +- . 

23 ....... gxh5 

24. f6     Bg7 

25. Qh4  Qd6 

26. Rf3   Bxf6

27.Qxf6 

       1 - 0
