[Event "Tbilisi"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Lputian"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "E70"] [Opening "King's Indian: 4.e4 d6"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 Nc6 {White is playing to set up a solid pawn center, so I'd like to provoke him to push forward by 6.d5, when I would have a target on d5 to play against.} 6. Be3 a6 7. Qd2 Rb8 8. Rb1 O-O 9. b4 e5 {White is a long way from getting his king out of the center, so I think it's time to open things up there.} 10. d5 Nd4 { Do you see why White can't just win a pawn by taking twice on d4?} 11. Nge2 c5 {Now I'm willing to sacrifice a pawn because to win it White must give me a few open files onto his own king.} 12. dxc6 bxc6 13. Nxd4 exd4 14. Bxd4 Re8 15. Be2 {15.Bd3 d5 I want to open up the whole center before White castles.} 15... c5 {Now I can take advantage of my rook on the b-file to open still more lines in the center.} 16. bxc5 Nxe4 17. fxe4 Qh4+ 18. g3 {18.Bf2 Bxc3 19.Bxh4 Rxb1+ 20. Kf2 Bxd2 21.Rxb1 dxc5 Here I am winning because White's king is misplaced and I can attack his isolate pawns.} 18... Rxb1+ 19. Kf2 {19.Nxb1 Qxe4 I am winning this position because I attack White's unprotected pieces on d4, h1 and b1.} 19... Rb2 {I don't want to stop attacking. Now even after the queens come off I'll have a strong attack.} 20. gxh4 { 20.Qxb2 Bxd4+ 21.Kg2 Bxc3 22.Qxc3 Qxe4+} 20... Rxd2 21. Bxg7 Kxg7 22. Ke3 Rc2 23. Kd3 Rxc3+ {Remember, I don't want to give up the initiative. After White takes my rook, material will be equal but White won't be able to defend all his isolated pawns.} 24. Kxc3 dxc5 25. Bd3 Bb7 26. Re1 Re5 { Now White can't advance his e-pawn to a square where my bishop can't attack it. } 27. a4 f5 28. Rb1 Bxe4 29. Rb6 f4 30. Rxa6 f3 31. Bf1 Bf5 32. Ra7+ Kh6 33. Kd2 f2 34. Be2 Bg4 35. Bd3 Re1 36. Rf7 Bf5 37. a5 Bxd3 38. Rxf2 Rf1 {White resi gned because I will save my extra piece. If he had played on the game might have continued: 39.Rxf1 Bxf1 40.Kc3 Kg7 41.a6 Kf6 42.a7 Bg2 and my king will capture several White pawns and escort one of my own pawns to its promotion square.} 0-1
