Carlsen-Kramnik Blindfold Brilliancy (10)
Another brilliant game at Amber, this time Vladimir Kramnik produced a blindfold masterpiece !
[Event "Amber Blind"]
[Site "Nice"]
[Date "2009.03.25"]
[Round "10"]
[White "Carlsen,M"]
[Black "Kramnik,V"]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "E32"]
[Opening "Nimzo-Indian"]
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qc2 O-O 5. e4 d6 6. Bd3 Nc6 7. Ne2 Ba5 8.O-O Bb6 9. d5? Nb4 10. Qd2 exd5 11. cxd5?! Ng4! 12. Bb1 Qh4 13. Qf4 f5! 14. exf5Bxf5 15. h3 Bxf2+ 16. Kh1 Bd7 17. Qg5 Bc5! 18. Rxf8+ Rxf8 19. Ng1 Rf1! 20.Bxh7+ Kh8 0-1
After 13..f5!
Comments :
5 e4 !? is a interesting attempt to deviate from main lines of 4 Qc2
7..Ba5!? Kramnik relocating the bishop to b6 to attack d4
7 Nf3 instead of 7 Nge2 has the advantage of controlling h4, which was a factor in the game
8 a3!? to prevent Nb4 and prepare b4, without castling was probably an improvement on the game 8 0-0.
9 d5? more cautious was 9 Be3 Ng4 10 h3 Ne3 11fe3 Qg5 12 Rf3
11 Nd5 was probably better than the game's 11 cd5.
12 Bb1 sounds passive but 12 h3? Ne5 13 Bb1 Bxh3! with idea Nf3+
14 ef5?, it was better to admit that Black's attack is dangerous and play 14 Qg3
15 Bf5 was not possible because of 15..Rf5! 16 Qg3 as 16 Qf5 is met by Qh2 #.
Instead of 20 Bh7+, 20 Nce2 Bg1 21 Ng1 Rg1+! 22 Kg1 Qe1 is Checkmate
20 Bh7+ was a cheap trick, as 20..Kh7?? is met by Qxh4+, but Kramnik correctly played Kh8 of course.
