Leitao, Rafael Duailibe - Inarkiev, Ernesto 1-0

FIDE World Cup 2013.08.13

This were some of my analysis made for my students..Most of the analysis are of Leitao and I have added some variations....You can find my inspiration at the end of this game.

Diagram #1

In the first round of the World Cup 2013 in Tromso.I was paried against a tough opponent:russian super gm Ernesto Inarkiev. After two draw in the normal time control we has to meet again in the rapids.Having achieved almost no advantage in my white game I was forced to do some work the night before the games.my aim was to find a new idea in my opponent's Chebanenko Slav setup. I am no early win seeker- I just wanted a playeable and fresh position. That suits me just fine.I managed to find a small idea to put some problems for black.

1.Ne5!

Diagram #2

Immediately posing some problems for black

1... Nf6 (1... Nxe5 This is the natural continuation and I spent most of my analysis time here ( Koravi sir1... c5 2.Nxd7 Bxe4?

Diagram #8

5.Bh5 hitting the weak f7 square5... Rhf8 6.e4 And bishop gets into the attack) 5.Qxf7 +/- ))

2.Qf4

The position is already unpleasant for black, In practice it is even worse since the natural moves are not enough

2... c5?

Diagram #9

This natural looking move is a fatal mistake.However, it is not easy to find a good move for instance

3.Bh5!!

Diagram #10

Actually I haven't prepared the move 13...c5 and this was a typical mistake. Unfortunately, during the tournaments it is sometimes not possible to anlyse the postiion in big detail, so we have to work very fast, sometimes not giving proper attention to some natural "human moves". Remember what I suggest in this article : analyse the position yourself and only then check it with the computer. Using this system I would certainly have noticed the 14... c5 move which, of course, isn't considered by the machine. Fortunately in this case I was able to find the solution in the board.

3... Bd6 4.Bxf7+ Ke7 5.Qg5!

Diagram #11

to be honest I thought my opponent would resign here

5... Bxe5 6.Qxg7?!

Diagram #12

( 6.Bh5! There was some discussion on the internet about whether it was possible to find such a calm move in over the board play.The fact is that white is easily winning after it.6... Kf8 7.Qxe5 Nxh5 8.Qxh5 +- )

6... Ne8!

Diagram #13

this was the move that I missed

7.Qxe5 Kxf7 8.dxc5 ( 8.Qxh8?

Diagram #14

8... Nf6 and suddenly my queen is trapped and from a winning position I have a loosing one)

8... Qc7 9.Qh5+ Kf8 10.Bc3 +/-

Anyway, black's position is practically lost.I have three pawns and a strong attack on his king.The presence of opposite coloured bishops also helps the attack. In the end I was able to win the game.
