[Event "Leningrad"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Dolmatov"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "B10"] [Opening "Caro-Kann: Breyer Variation"] 1. e4 c6 {I sometimes used to play the favorite openings of my former coach Mikhail Botvinnik.} 2. d3 { This move is too slow to give White any serious initiative. Better is 2.d4.} 2... e5 3. g3 g6 4. d4 {Taking two moves to advance the pawn allows Black to solve his opening problems.} 4... Nf6 5. Nc3 Qa5 { Pinning the knight on c3 and therefore threatening to play 6...Nxe4.} 6. Bg2 d6 7. Nge2 Bg7 8. dxe5 dxe5 9. Qd6 {Although the queen looks impressive here. It turns out that she is needed for the protection of the c-pawn.} 9... Na6 10. O-O Be6 11. Rd1 Nb4 { Taking advantage of the White queen not staying to protect the queenside.} 12. Be3 Nxc2 13. b4 Nxb4 { Black has a winning position because of his two pawn advantage.} 14. Bc5 Bf8 15. Qxe5 Ng4 {This intermediate move gives Black a winning initiative. 15...

Rf1 { 17.Kh1 Nxf2+ 18.Kg1 Nh3+ 19.Kh1 Allows Black a forced mate.} 17... O-O-O { Black's temporary loss of the exchange is fully compensated for by his active pieces.} 18. Qxh7 Nd3 {Black is relentless on his quest for the f-pawn.} 19. Nd1 Qe5 { A very strong move. Black intends to place his bishop on c5 and rook on h8.} 20. Rb1 Bc5 {White has no defense to the coming Rh8.} 21. h3 Ngxf2 { 21...Rh8 22.Qxh8+ Qxh8 23.hxg4 Gives White two rooks for the queen.} 22. Nxf2 Rh8 {White resigned since material loss in unavoidable.} 0-1
