[Event "Daugavpils"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Panchenko"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B33"] [Opening "Sicilian: Open, 2...Nc6"] 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Bg5 e6 7. Qd2 a6 8. O-O-O Bd7 9. f4 b5 10. Nxc6 Bxc6 {I'm willing to exchange knights because the trade weakens Black's control of the central dark squares.} 11. Bd3 {I want to be able to play e5 without allowing Black to exchange queens on the d-file.} 11... Be7 12. e5 dxe5 {12...Nd5 13.Ne4 dxe5 14.Bxe7 Qxe7 15.fxe5 O-O} 13. fxe5 Nd7 14. Bxe7 Qxe7 15. Be4 {Black can now win my e5 pawn, but to take it he will have to allow me a strong initiative based on the dark squares in the center.} 15... Bxe4 {Black goes along with my plan. He would have an even game if he didn't go after the e-pawn. 15...Qc5 16.Rhe1 Ra7 And Black has covered all the targets in the center and will get counterplay on the c-file.} 16. Nxe4 Nxe5 17. Qd4 {I don't need to check immediately--this move forces Black to move his knight to a weaker square or to weaken his pawn structure.} 17... f6 18. Nd6+ Kf8 19. Rhf1 {Now my rook is on an open file leading to Black's king and the pin on his f6 pawn again forces him to retreat his knight or lose more time.} 19... Kg8 {19...Nf7 20.Qb6 Nxd6 21.Rxd6 Kf7 22.Re1 e5 23.Qc6 I still have my initiative here, but the exchange of knights has eased Black's problems.} 20. g4 {I'd like to open the g-file to Black's king. Note that if I can play 21.g5, Black can't keep lines close by 21...f5 because that would undermine his knight.} 20... h6 21. h4 Nf7 {Black is to anxious to trade of my strong knight and lets me open up his king. He would have done better to try 21...Rf8. 21...Rf8 22.g5 hxg5 23.hxg5 Ng6 And Black has good chances to defend. } 22. Qe4 {This attack on Black's rook sets up a pin on the e6 pawn which will let me keep my knight.} 22... Rf8 23. Nf5 Qe8 24. Nd4 e5 {24...Ne5 25.g5 hxg5 26.hxg5 Qg6 27.Qxg6 Nxg6 28.Nxe6 Re8 29.gxf6 And Black will get mated or lose a piece.} 25. Nf5 h5 26. Rg1 Rh7 {26...Nh6 27.Nxg7 Kxg7 28.gxh5+ Kf7 29.Qb7+} 27. Qb7 Kh8 28. gxh5 Qe6 29. Nxg7 Qxa2 {29...Rxg7 30.Rxg7 Kxg7 31.Qg2+ Kh8 And now I can set up a lethal mating battery. Do you see how?} 30. Qe7 Rg8 31. Qxf6 Qa1+ 32. Kd2 Qa5+ 33. Ke2 Rgxg7 34. Rxg7 Rxg7 35. Rg1 {Black resigned because he could save either the pinned rook or his king, but not both.} 1-0
