Two best games of

- Van Wely, Loek (

GM Arkadij Naiditsch
Best rating:
Ivanchuk’s games are usually fun to watch, with a lot of
interesting ideas and original play, but Van Wely is also a
very fighting player who stands by his Sicilian already for
many years. Ivanchuk seems to celebrate his comeback in
Wijk aan Zee with a fantastic start of / and we are going
to see one of this excellent victories. In the current game the
position quickly becoming extremely sharp and complicated,
where White clearly has a better overview and with a perfect
domination of his pieces he makes Black’s play look almost
funny. A great game to watch and learn from.
.e c
As expected, a Sicilian...
.Nf e
Van Wely used to play the Najdorf more o en, but
he also o en goes for a lot of di erent versions of the Paulsen
or Sheveningen.
.d cxd .Nxd
Nc
.Nc d
A rare move order in the
recent games, usually Black goes for ...Qc or ...a .
.Be
Nf
In case of .f we would be back to the main lines,
but Ivanchuk tries an interesting idea.
.Qe !?
Lately in the Najdorf it becomes more and more
fashionable to put the queen on e instead of the usual
f -Qf . The queen on e has the advantage that White has
the possibility of playing g and Bg and at the same time
sometimes Nd or Nf are possible as well.
...a
Van Wely continues with the standard set up. Maybe an
interesting try for Black could be to play ... Bd and a quick
Qa and Rc , trying to save a tempo on the a move.
.O-O-O
Bd
.f
Rc
.Kb
This is a typical prophylactical
move which we see in many di erent Sicilians.
...Qc ?!
Of course Black could have played ...Be
followed by short castle, but usually the queen is nicely placed
on c . On the other hand the Qc move is a bit slow, so in the
current situation I don’t think it was really needed.
.Nb
A preparation for the main idea of Qe : to play
g . [White could have tried to play g immediately: .g !?
...Nxd
.Rxd and ...e ! Now we can see why Ivanchuk
decided to go back with . Nb . .Rd
Bxg
Black is winning
a pawn, but things are far from clear.
.Qg and I think
Whites has excellent compensation for the pawn.]
