190 THE B01VINNIK SEMI-SLAV 13 .. J:td8 Preparing the regrouping of the pieces .... lLlfS and ... ..td7-eS. mentioned in the introduction to the chapter. Black has also tried two interesting ideas to prepare ... eS: a) On 13 ... b6. Yusupov suggests 14 ..tbS. when 14 ... cxbS IS "fixc7 gives White a clear advantage. This is true. but Black should grab a pawn with 14 ... ..txh2+. While it does not solve all his problems. Black at least has a pawn to compensate. However. White still enjoys a nice initiative after IS
THE MAIN LINE: 7 e3 liJd7 8 ~d3 dxc4 191 example, 15 ... b6 White does not have the usual 16 i.b5 (Black simply replies 16 ... i.xh2+ 17 ..txh2 cxb5 and White can hardly increase the pressure). 15 i.b3 cuts across the ... b6 plan but White has also tried two other moves that attempt to dissuade this: a) After 15 ttJc5 I?, White can meet 15 ... b6 with 16 ttJa6. Chemin-Dreev, Moscow 1989 therefore continued instead 15 ... i.d6!? 16 ttJe4 i.c7 17 ttJc5 i.d6 18 ttJd3 i.d7 19 e4 i.e8 20 'iWe2 i.c7 21 e5 i.b6 22 'iWe3 a5 with a roughly equal position. White has managed to get his pawn to e5 but it has been at the cost of a not very optimal piece placement. b) 15 a3 a5 (15 ... b6 16 b4!?) 16 i.a2 i.d7 17 ttJc5 l:ta7 18 e4 (18 ttJe5 i.e8 19 f4 c;i;>h8 20 'fif2 f6 21 ttJf3 b6 22 ttJe4 a4 23 g4l:ta5 gave Black good counterplay in Bellon-Dreev, Logrofio tt 1991) 18 ... i.e8 19 e5 b6 (19 ... ttJg6?! 20 'iWe4 i.b6 21 ttJa4 i.c7 22 h4 'uaa8 23 'ii'g4 b6 24 h5 ttJf8 25 ttJc3 c;i;>h8 26 ttJe4 ± Ward-Ferguson, Hastings 1995 - see also the introduction to the chapter) 20 ttJa4 (20 ttJe4 is more ambitious; then after 20 ... a4 White can try to improve his position with ttJg3, 'fie4, etc.) 20 ... ,Uaa8 112-112 Sakaev Dreev, Bmo 1992. It is now more difficult for White to achieve the attacking formation with the queen on g4 and knight on e4 since White must constantly watch out that Black is not allowed to free his position by means of ... c5. 15 ... i.d7 15 ... a5 16 a3 i.d7 17lbc5 reaches, via a slightly different move-order, a position from which Artur Yusupov has been very successful as White: a) 17 ... :'a7 18 e4 i.e8 19 e5 i.b6 is the same position as in Sakaev-Dreev above, except that White's bishop is here on b3, thus preventing Black from playing ... a4. Yusupov-Dreev, Tilburg 1992 then continued 20 lbe4 'uaa8 21 i.a2 :'d7 22 'iWb3 i.a7 23 lbd6 ;1;. b) 17 .. J::tab8 18 e4! i.c8 (18 ... i.e8 19 e5 ;1;) 19 ttJd3!? ttJg6 20 e5 ttJh4?! (an instructive example of the defending side not benefiting from exchanges; 20 ... i.d7 is better) 21 ttJdel ! lbxf3+ 22 ttJxf3 i.d7 23 'ife4! c5!? (after 23 ... i.e8 24 h4 it becomes clear why Black should not have exchanged his knight; White is planning h5 and i.c2 with a strong attack) 24 :xc5 i.c6 25 'iff4 i.xf3!? 26 gxf3!, Yusupov-M.Gurevich, Munich 1993. Black can claim some sort of compensation due to the opposite-coloured bishops but it is evidently not enough. 16 ttJc5 :ab817 a3 17 e4 looks more ambitious but I cannot help feeling that Black is better off with the pawn still being on a7 compared to some of the similar positions examined above. 17 ... i.e8 18 i.a2 ~h8 19 ttJd3 b6 20 b4 l:tdc8 21 :d2 :a8 22 'i¥b2 a5 23 :dc2 axb4 24 axb4 f6!? <strong>The</strong> position is more or less equal, P.Cramling-Galliamova, Groningen worn Ct 1997. White has maintained her space advantage but the b4-pawn
