{(Semi-"live" comments and analysis.)} 1. e4 e6 {I have the impression, that
the French Defence has been played rather seldom in man/machine events,
although the high strategical impact of such games could be an incentive for
human players. This is why in contrast to my further habits and preferences
this time I chose 1...e6, especially as we had an unofficial test game before,
where Hydra could see what I was going to play in the Caro-Kann Advance
Variation. Before getting surprised in the opening I preferred to surprise
Hydra by myself.} 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 {The Tarrasch System is a good choice in
order to avoid the strategical more comlicated positions after 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5
c5 5.a3. I suppose this choice goes back to the book author GM Christopher
Lutz.} c5 {Player who prefer a closed centre - especially against computers -
would rather play 3...Nf6 ziehen, in order to provoke 4.e5 and afterwards
attack White's central pawns by c7-c5 or f7-f6. On the other hand many players
of the French Defence prefer 3...c5 against the Tarrasch System as for
instance Wolfgang Uhlmann. I thought this move to be more suitable in order to
secure a draw with Black, and the respect to Hydra and her team was big enough,
so that I avoided to strive automatically for a closed position. That Hydra in
case of doubt would be able to play a closed opening position could be seen
most impressive in the first of her two games with Ex-FIDE-Champ Ruslan
Ponomariov in Bilbao 2004, where the Ukrainian GM played to carelessly with
the white pieces.} 4. exd5 {
Also possible is to keep the tention for a while with 4.Ngf3.} Qxd5 {The classi
cal choice is 4...exd5, taking the risk of an isolated pawn at d5 (after d4xc5
or c5xd4), but enjoying active play with his pieces. By recapturing with his
queen Black avoids the isolani at the cost of a slower development, as his
queen loses one or two tempi. Now the pawn-structure is more likely the
Sicilian than the French, whereas this time Black has already managed to
advance with the d-pawn.} 5. Ngf3 cxd4 6. Bc4 Qd6 {#} 7. O-O ({

particular as her endgame skills (like most other computers too) are not that
outstanding.} a6 11. Re1 Qc7 {One of many possible variations for both sides.
Black prepares the development of his bishop to d6 or c5 (on e7 it would be
too passive). The neuralgic point e6 isn't in danger so far, but Black has to
keep an eye to Bc1-g5 (and Bxf6 after 0-0) or Nd4-f5.} 12. Qe2 Bc5 (12... Bd6 {

GM Glek put a "!" to this move in Informator 88/250 (Kotronias-Glek, Silivri
2003, drawn after 34 moves) This assessment could have been questioned
pracically, if Hydra would have played 14.Nf5 threatening a piece sacrifice on
h6 (after ...0-0), as proposed in the CSS(Computer)-Forum. Without to comment
and analyse those variations in detail, I can say I would most probably have
played 14...Kf8. Giving up the right to castle does not seem such important,
if Black is able to activate the h8-rook by pushing forward the h-pawn, while
on the other side he gets an active bishop on the diagonal a8/h1. Finally,
White's knight on f5 loses time and has to retreat.} (13... O-O {

frees his play by Nf6-g4 and changes knight versus bishop e3. 17.Rad1 looks

1. c4 Nf6 2. g3 c6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Bg2 $5 {Looking back, I could of course claim
that it was all a part of the masterplan to play a gambit here, but the fact
was that I once more just sent away a move in the opening without even looking
if there were consequences I hadn't thought about. I can be a little sloppy
with my handling of the move-order issue} dxc4 $5 {Diagram # There it was.
While I was trying to "regroup", I received the norwegian chess magazine in
the mail. The main game was Berge Oestenstad's win as black against Kjetil A
Lie in the norwegian championship 2003, ensuring him (BO) the title. It was
this opening.. .. I dived into the databases, simultaneously letting the
silicon-monster go berserk without interfering. When I surfaced again some
weeks later, I had with me some surprising concusions in my sack. The first
thing was that the artificial intelligense was convinced that black was
clearly better. The second point was that my game-material concluded with the
opposite. By luck I had stumbled on to an "ideal variation" for modern corr.
chess players, a variation where the longterm consequences of a pawn sacrifice
is of such a character that they won't show up if one uses a silicon-product
as advicer. Now then, what's the point of this gambit? First, by taking the
pawn, black weakens his own barricade in the long diagonal. This gives power
to the bishop at g2. Further on the defence of the plus pawn will force black
to weaken his queenside, while his pieces will be passive, also defending the
pawn (and the weakened queenside)And at last there is a third, hidden element
in the position: Because black's behind in development, his king will remain
in the centre for a long time. This can be fatal if the position opens up.} 5.

This was my first international tournament. I was sure a 2470 IM was very
strong, and knew lots of theory which was not readily available. So White
avoids the "modern" Yugoslav attack and plays an "old-fashioned" system.
Remember that this was 1994, and that most players (myself included) did not
have home PCs, chess-playing programs, or computer databases.} Nc6 8. O-O O-O
9. Nb3 b6 $6 {According to theory, Black can equalize by trading off pieces on
c4 or g4 after 9 ... Be6; 10 f4, Na5 or Qc8. But in a tournament with 7 2400+
players, and a handful of unrated (nominally 2200) players such as myself, it
could make sense for a 2470 Black to avoid exchanges and try for more than
equality.} 10. f4 Bb7 11. Bf3 Rc8 12. Qd2 Qc7 $6 {Very passive. Black needs
counterplay, and should try 12 ... Qd7 with the idea of Ng4, or 12 ... Nd7!?
with the idea of 13 ... B:c3 and if 14 Q:c3, then Nce5.} 13. Rad1 Rfe8 14. Rfe1
Nd8 {Black's avoidance of theory and exchanges isn't working out. The
natural-looking 14 ... a6 just creates a weakness on b6, and White increases
his advantage by Qf2 or Na4 or Nd5 forcing ...N:d5.} 15. Nd4 a6 {
Now b6 is shielded by Nd4, but White has another idea.} 16. Bf2 b5 17. e5 $1 {
This must be the right idea. White, unlike Black, has all his pieces developed,
and ...Nd8 interferes with the cooperation between Black's Rooks and has left
e5 temporarily undefended. In other words, the tactics "should" work, but
still need to be calculated.} Bxf3 18. exf6 b4 $1 ({Not} 18... Bxd1 $2 19. Nd5
