Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Be2 O-O 6. Nf3 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8. d5 Ne7 9. Nd2 {This move is apparently considered best by the Russians. In the "Turner Mira" 1970, Petrosian played 9 b4 Nh5 10 Nd2!? Nf4 11 a4, but without great success against Gligoric.} (9. b4 Nh5 10. Nd2 Nf4 11. a4) 9... c5 {I think this is a logical move. Black takes a tempo from his King side play to slow down White's Queen side initiative which usually comes quite quickly with b4, c5, etc.} 10. a3 Ne8 11. b4 b6 12. Rb1 f5 {! Having made all the necessary precautions on the Queen's side Black is now ready to attack on the King's flank.} 13. f3 {Maybe better is 13 Nb3 as in the game Gligoric-Tringov, Belgrade, 1969.} f4 14. a4 g5 15. a5 Rf6 {!} 16. bxc5 {? This is, as Korchnoi pointed out afterwards, a "terrible mistake" because now it is impossible for White to get any initiative on the Queen side.} (16. Qa4 Rg6 17. Ra1 Nf6 18. axb6 Qxb6 19. Qb5 Qxb5 20. Nxb5 cxb4 21. Nxd6 {White would be better here}) 16... bxc5 17. Nb3 Rg6 18. Bd2 Nf6 {or ...h5!} 19. Kh1 g4 { Maybe more exact was 19...h5} 20. fxg4 {Forced because of the threat of 20... g3 and then white cannot play 21 h3 because of 21...Bxh3 etc.} Nxg4 21. Rf3 { ? 21 Bf3! was better, with a more tenacious defence..} (21. Bf3) (21. Bf3 Nf6 22. Nc1 Bd7 23. Nb5) 21... Rh6 22. h3 Ng6 23. Kg1 Nf6 24. Be1 Nh8 {!! This attacking manouver is decisive.} 25. Rd3 Nf7 26. Bf3 {h4!? held out a little longer.} Ng5 27. Qe2 Rg6 28. Kf1 {Or 28 Kh2 Qd7 threatens 29...Nxh3 etc.} Nxh3 29. gxh3 (29. Bh4 Ng5 30. Nd2 Nxf3 31. Nxf3 Qxa5 32. Nb5 Ng4 33. Ra3 {Black better but not as bad as the game continuation!}) 29... Bxh3+ 30. Kf2 {At this moment my hand hovered over White's Pawn on e4, but at the last second I realized that 30...Nxe4 is answered by 31 Qxe4 and White wins.} Ng4+ (30... Nxe4+ 31. Qxe4 Qh4+ (31... Qg5 32. Ke2 Bf5) 32. Ke2) 31. Bxg4 Bxg4 {And here Korchnoi thought for about a minute and a half and not seeing a defence to the double threat of 31...Bxe2 and 32...Qh4+ resigned.} 0-1 â–ºSubscribe for my regular chess videos: http://goo.gl/zpktUK â–ºSupport the channel by donating via PayPal: http://goo.gl/7HJcDq Thumbnail: Fischer vs Korchnoi By Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-76052-0335,_Schacholympiade,_Tal_(UdSSR)_gegen_Fischer_(USA).jpg: Kohls, Ulrich derivative work: Karpouzi [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons Korchnoi By Anefo / Croes, R.C.
