Message: It was written in 1997. but is still the best book on Evans IMHO ——— So tackles Kamsky after booting out Ivanchuk — Filipino chess Grandmaster Wesley So claimed the biggest scalp of his young chess career Wednesday night, sealing a 1.5-.5 victory over super GM Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine to barge into the third round of the 2009 World Chess Cup at the Khanty-Mansiysk Center of Arts. Continuing his strong showing against higher-rated chess players, the 16-year-old So held Ivanchuk to a fighting draw in the second game of their second round encounter to forge a showdown with defending chess champion GM Gata Kamsky of the United States. So stunned the sixth-seeded Ivanchuk (Elo 2739) with the black pieces in Game 1 Tuesday night. His confidence boosted, So then ...

Is that the case here? Fedorov-Maletin, St Petersburg 2009. Continuing our theme of defence, how can White, to play, save himself? RB What's the threat here? 1... Nxg1 2 Qxg1 gives Black nothing, except a pawn down in a queen and rook endgame. Nothing there. What else? Oh,yes. 1... Qg3. This is very bad. The only thing White could do then is 2 Qxf3, but 2...Rxf3 3 gxf3?? Qxh3 is mate. OK, we need to stop the black queen getting to g3. Is it bonkers to take with the queen? 1 Qxf3 Rxf3 2 gxf3 and White has two rooks for the queen, which is not terrible. Let's try consider ...

White should probably play "main" variation: 6.d4, Qe7; 7.0-0, Nf6; 8.Nbd2, 0-0; 9.Bd3 with some advantage. In any case the move is good enough for Black players that fear White's preparation (no need to learn a lot of theory and White's advantage is small). I have never seen it played since obviously only White players buy books on the Evans and it does look too dangerous to improvise with 5...Bd6 :) ——— Kramnik's best game — For the last several years, Vladimir Kramnik tried to make sure he did not lose games. It was a perfect style for the world chess championship matches and for his duels against chess computers, but it was not good enough to win major tournaments. After playing listlessly and losing the match for the world title to Anand last year, Kramnik decided to play more sharply. It paid big dividends. In July, Kramnik won in Dortmund, Germany, and this month, he was victorious at the Tal Memorial in Moscow. He finished ahead of Carlsen in both chess events. Their rivalry will continue next month in London. Kramnik considered the Grunfeld Indian duel against his countryman Peter Svidler ...
