Positional analysis
24 Aug '10 22:531 editHi folks, i thought i'd test drive the new analysis function a little. I've done some small analysis of a recent game in the Spanish Team championship. White (P Negi) really strangles black (Moiseenko) with some superb positional play.

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 d6 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 Nf6 6.Bg5 Qa5 7.Bb5 { Covering the black bishop on g5 from the attack by the Queen and threatening an exchange on c6.} Bd7 8.Nb3 Qd8 9.Be2! { 9.Be2! This Prophylactic move prevents black from playing ..a6 and ..b5 followed by ..b4 (which would weaken e4 by messing with the knight on c3 and give black more space on the Queenside) but instead buys enough time for white to play a4 and a5 himself. Very useful little technique to remember. } a6 10.a4 e6 11.a5 {And there it is, white has achieved a significant positional advantage on the Queenside, claiming the b6 square deep in the black position. He has the choice of either manoeuvring a Bishop or a knight to b6 which will cause havoc in the black camp... } Be7 12.Be3 {White decides the black bishop will be better on b6, leaving the knight on c3 to defend the central squares rather than manoeuvring it Na3 and Nb6} O-O 13.O-O Ne5 14.f4 Ng6 15.Qd3 Re8 { Black sets to the task of defence while avoiding weakening pawn moves. White on the other hand uses the time to gain massive amounts of space for all his pieces. } 16.Kh1 { removing a weakness from the white position without revealing a plan. Black will soon have to choose a plan rather than simply strengthen his position and waiting} Bf8 17.Bf3 Bc6 { This looks wrong to me, it invites the Knight on d4 wastes two moves going back and forth. However, these two bishop moves do not weaken blacks position. I would have preferred 17..Qc7 allowing the Ra8 to come to the centre.. } 18.Nd4 Bd7 {again ..Qc7 looks good to me, leaving the d7 square available for a knight should it be needed. }19.Nde2 Nh4 20.e5 dxe5 21.fxe5 Nxf3 22.Rxf3 { The knight has moved 4 times in order to be exchanged. White brings the rook to f3 with tempo, time is counted in moves, not minutes in chess. } Ng4 23.Bb6 Qc8 24.Rh3 {Whites efficiency is starting to tell, black is looking disjointed and is forced into making weakening moves} g6 25.Qg3 h5 26.Nf4 Bg7 27.Rxh5 f5 28.exf6 Nxf6 29.Rg5 Re7 30.Bd4 Ne8 31.Ne4 e5 32.Bxe5 Qc6 33.Nd6 { White is relentless in attack, black his hopelessly lost and will soon resign } Rxe5
