(1) Kobas,A (2450) - Gelman,G (2200) [B53] Conn. Ch. (4), 04.2001 [Bauer,R] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Bb5 Bd7 6.Bxc6 Bxc6 7.Bg5 e5!? A stunning response, based on 8.Bxd8 exd4 9.Bg5 Bxe4 =+. 8.Qd3 Be7 9.Bxe7 Nxe7 Black has succeeded in trading off his problem piece, but will d6 prove weak? 10.Nc3 Qb6 11.0-0-0 Rd8 12.Rd2 Qc5 13.Rhd1 b5 14.Qe3 Qxe3 15.fxe3 b4 White does not want to allow Black to close off the d-file after an exchange on d5, but the exchange of e4 for d6 favors Black. 16.Ne2? Bxe4 17.Rxd6 Rc8!-/+ Black&aposs pressure on the c-file and powerful centralized Bishop give him the edge. 18.R6d2 Nf5 19.Re1 f6!? Not allowing any tactics along the e-file. 20.Ng3 Nxg3 21.hxg3 Now the weakened White pawns gives Black a clear edge. 21...Ke7 22.Red1 Rc7 Black&aposs rooks are more threatening than White&aposs. 23.Ne1 Rhc8 24.b3 Ke6 25.g4 Keeping the king out of f5, but now he just circles around to attack the weak kingside. 25...Kf7 26.Rd7+ Kg6 27.Rxc7 Rxc7 28.Nd3 Bxd3! The exchange of the powerful bishop leads to the harvest of White&aposs kingside. 29.Rxd3 Kg5 30.a3 bxa3 31.b4 a2 32.Ra3 Kxg4 33.Kd2 Kg3 34.Kd3 Kxg2 35.Rxa2 h5 36.c4+ Kg3 37.c5 h4 38.Kc4 h3 39.b5 h2 40.Ra1 g5 41.Kd5 g4 42.Kd6 Rh7 White Resigns. After both rooks are traded for advanced pawns, the Black g-pawn will queen. 0-1
