Lauttasaaren Suomalainen Shakkikerho

Löysin vain 10-minuuttisen videoanalyysin, jossa ehdotetaan mustalle mm. voittosiirtoa 10...De6. FireBirdin mukaan taas musta voittaisi helpoiten jatkossa 10...d6! 11.e6+ Kf6 (etu vastaa yli 4 sotilasta).

GM Sergey Shipov (www.crestbook.com) made video summary on every round of the tournament.

Summary (in Russian) for Round 13 are here (Warning! Video is 1 hour long, size is 124MB!) http://www.crestbook.com/files/Wijk-an-Zee-2010-Round-13-Summary.wmv

Analysis for Short - Smeets starts from 47:59

Some important points from there:

8. Bg5 was a novelty.

GM Shipov suggests 8. Qxc5?!:

8.Qxc5?! Nxh1 9.Nc3 h6 (9... Rf8 10.e6! dxe6 11.Ne5+; 9...d6 10.Qc4 h6 11.Nh4+ Kh7 12. Qe4+ Kg8 13.Be3) 10.Qc4 Kh7 11.Nd5! Rf8 (11...Nc6 12.Nf6+! gxf6 13.Qf7#) 12.Qe4+ Kh8 13.Bxh6 Rxf3 14.Bxg7+ Kxg7 15.Qg4+ Kh6 16.gxf3 Qg5 17.Qxg5+ Kxg5 18.Nxc7 b6 19.Nxa8 Bb7 20.Nc7 Bxf3 21.Kd2 Nc6 22.e6! +-

8...Qe8?!
[8...Qf8?! 9.Rf1 d6!]

9.Nh4+?
[much better was 9.Rf1! d6 10.Rxf2 Bxf2+ 11.Kxf2 dxe5 12.Nc3! Qf7?! 13.Qd3+! Qf5 14. Ne4!]

9...Kxg5 10.Nd2 Kh6?

[Black wins with 10...d6 11.Ndf3+ Kg4! 12.Qd2 (12. h3+ Ng3!) 12...Ne4 13.h3+ Kg3 14.Qe2 Bf2+ 15.Kd1 d5 -+]

Now I checked Jyrki's link.

Commentor there wonders why Smeets did not play 12...Kh5, calling it "a path to victory".

Well, it was a draw anyway :) White just has to find it (13.e6+ is wrong here)

From Shipov's analysis:

12... Kh5 13.Qf3+ Kh6 (13...Kxh4? 14.Qf5!+-; 13...Kg5 14.Qg3+ Kh5 15.Qf3+ Kg5=)14.Qf4+ g5 15.Qf6+ Kh5 16.Nf5 Qg6 17.Ng7+ Kh6 18.Nf5+ Kh5 =

"This bore little resemblance to anything one would normally expect to see in a modern-day GM super-tournament; rather, it looks as though it should have been played 150 years ago, at Simpsons-in-the-Strand, for a stake of a shilling on either side."
