114 THE BOTVINNIK SEMI-SlAV d3) 14 ... .llg5!? is probably best. It looks terribly risky but I do not see anything completely clear: 15 .llxg5 (15 d7+ is enticing but 15 ... liJxd7 16 .llxg5 'iVxg5 17 liJe4 'iVd8 18 liJd6+
1O ... i.e7 115 13 ... .te7 (D) 13 ... .txd4 140-0-0 .txe3+ (14 ... e5? 15 tZJxb5 .txe3+ 16 fxe3 'fIIe7 17 tZJd6+ +-) 15 fxe3 'ilie7 16 tZJe4 ~f8 17 tZJc5! 'fIIxc5 (17 ... .tc8 18 .te2 does not really solve any of Black's problems) 18 l:td8+ ~e7 19 l:txh8 was very good for White in Demirel-Fridman, Sas van Gent jr Ech 1992, but only since White can escape the checks after 19 ... c3 20 l:th7 cxb2+ 21 ~xb2 'fIIb4+ 22 ~c2 'fIIa4+ 23 ~cl 'fIIa3+ 24 ~dl 'ilia4+ 25 ~el 'ilib4+ 26 ~f2 'fIIb2+ 27 .te2, etc. <strong>The</strong> game continuation did not bring any consolation either: 19 ... tZJd7 20 l:txa8 .txa8 21 .te2 tZJe5 (2L.c3 22 'ilif4 cxb2+ 23 ~xb2 ± Atalik and Demirel) 22 'ilie4 tZJd3+ 23 ~bl f5 24 'fIIh4+ cJi>d7 25 'fIIh7+ 'fIIe7 26 'fIIh8 and White was winning. 14g3 <strong>The</strong> critical continuation has to be 14 tZJxb5!? 'ilib6 (14 ... cxb5 15 'ilixb7 'ilid5 16 'fIIxd5 exd5 17 .te2 tZJc6 18 0-0-0 is better for White) 15 tZJc3 'fIIxb2 16 l:cl. White is ready to meet 16 ... c5 with 17 d5, so Black might try 16 ... tZJd7 with the idea 17 .txc4 c5 18 d5 tZJe5 19 .tb5+ 'ii'xb5 20 tZJxb5 tZJxf3+ 21 gxf3 l:td8 22 .txc5 .txc5 23 w l:txc5 .ixd5 24 tZJc7+ ~e7 25 tZJxd5+ 1'hd5 and the rook ending is a draw. I admit this is not entirely forced and it is possible that White can improve somewhere along the way but it seems to flow rather nicely, though. 14 ... tZJa6 14 ... tZJd7!? 15 .tg2 b4 also comes into consideration. 15 .tg2 l:tb8!? 15 ... tZJb4 160-0 tZJd5 17 tZJe4, intending tZJc5, gives White an edge. 160-0 c5 17 'ii'g4 .txg2 18 ~xg2 b4 19 tZJe2 'ii'd5+ 20 cJi>gl .tf6 21 ltfdl 'iit'h5 22 'iit'xh5 l:xh5 23 l:ac1 At this point a draw was agreed in W.Schmidt-Hracek, Poznan 1987. I would rather be White.
