The white king escapes in typical style to a
more secure spot.

The mere presence of rooks reduces the
drawing tendency enormously.

Bundesliga 2004/5
Black is fighting to survive, and it is essential
for him not to fall into total passivity.
1 ... hS?!
l...f5! is best:
a) 2 d5 exd5 3 exf5 d4 4 .ixd4 (4 .l;l'.dl d3 5
cxd3 .ia4 6 .l;l'.d2 ~d8 7 d4 .l;l'.e8) 4...~f8.
b) 2 ~el fxe4 (2....l;l'.d8? 3 @b2 ~d7 4 @c3
.ib5 5 d5 ! ! exd5 6 e5 ±) 3 fxe4 h5 4@b2 ~h6 5
g3 h4 6 .id6 hxg3 7 .ixg3 ~g6 8 @c3 ~g4 and
Black always has enough active counterplay to
be able to hold.
2@b2~h6?
Letting slip the last favourable opportunity
for .. .f5.
3 .l;l'.dl .!ag6 4 ~d2 .tbs s @c3 @d7 6 dS!
Note this typical attacking strategy: White
places as many of his pawns as possible on light
squares, to complement his own bishop and restrict
its opposite number.
6 eS
6 exd5 7 exd5 .l;l'.g5 8 @d4 h4 9 ne2 gives
White a clear advantage.

Now White takes advantage of zugzwang to
penetrate further with his king:
16 ~b2! @d7 17@b6@c8 18 .igl .ia4 ( D)
Or:
a) 18 ... @b8 19@c5 @c7 20 .ih2 .l;l'.g6 21 f4
exf4 22 .ixf4+ @d7 23 g3 .l;l'.g4 24 ne2 g5 25
hxg5 fxg5 26 i.d6 +- (Ribli).
b) 18...~g6 19 @c5 @d7 20 i.e3 .l;l'.g3 21
na2 @c7 22 nf2 ~d7 23 .id2 @c7 24 f4 also
wins for White.
19 d6?
With this - in principle undesirable - move
White creates difficulties for himself. Instead
of this, he could have penetrated with his king
into the heart of the enemy camp: 19 @c5 .ib5
