[Event "Titled Tuesday intern op 6th June"] [Site "Chess.com INT"] [Date "2020.06.02"] [Round "6"] [White "Bogner, Sebastian"] [Black "Karjakin, Sergey"] [Result "0-1"] [WhiteElo "2571"] [BlackElo "2752"] [PlyCount "88"] [EventDate "2020.??.??"] 1. e4 e5 2. f4 {The King's Gambit: Super aggressive white opening.} exf4 { I prefer this line due to it provides counter attacking breakthroughs for black and if the pawn at f4 is secured, it's one pawn up.} 3. Bc4 {We studied the 2. Nf3 line, now white's 2. Bc4 line adds color to the theme of the game which is "ALL OUT TACTICS"...} Qh4+ {Yes, white allowed this check and placing the white king at f1 looks awkward but it's part of white's strategy.} ({If} 3... d5 4. Bxd5 Qh4+ 5. Kf1 Nf6 6. Nf3 Qh6 7. Nc3 Bb4 8. Bb3 O-O {interesting position...}) 4. Kf1 d6 {Black must place the c8 bishop at g4 or e6 then develop the knight at b8 to c6 to be able to castle queenside.} 5. Nf3 Qh5 { Another move for black is 5...Qh6 supporting the f4 pawn.} 6. Nc3 Be6 {Pretty straightforward move to exchange bishops.} 7. d3 g5 {Indeed, black must protect the f4 pawn.} 8. Nb5 Na6 {Preventing Nc7 and soon black can castle queenside.} 9. Bd2 Bg7 10. Nbd4 Bxc4 {Logical...but allows the knight at d4 to jump at f5 square.} 11. dxc4 Ne7 {Black is not giving white any chance to position on strategic squares.} 12. Bc3 O-O {GM Sergey Karjakin thinks that it is much better to castle at kingside.} 13. h4 {Aggressive stance by white, forcing black to protect the g5 pawn.} g4 {This is a forced move...13...h6 is not logically right, it weakens black king's position.} 14. Nh2 {Yes, the g4 pawn is under attack but black is aware of that and has something much relevant to plan awaits.} f3 15. gxf3 Qxh4 {NOW WE STOP HERE: WHAT DO YOU THINK BLACK IS PLANNING TO DO? WHY 15...Qh4? Kindly analyze the position...} 16. Qe2 {Now, white is going to be piece down with this move.} (16. fxg4 {If} Qh3+ 17. Kf2 Nc5 18. Qf3 Qxf3+ 19. Kxf3 Rae8 20. Rae1 Ng6 {Dangerous knight maneuver...}) 16... g3 {Yes....this is it!!!} 17. Qg2 h5 {It's dangerous for black if he takes the knight at h2...} ({If} 17... gxh2 18. Rxh2 {Game over...} ) 18. Ke2 Ng6 19. Bd2 {Knight at d4 is free but!!} Nf4+ ({If} 19... Bxd4 20. Ng4 Qe7 21. Nh6+ Kh7 22. Rxh5 {White wins}) 20. Bxf4 Qxf4 21. Nf5 Rae8 { The threat is Qf5...} 22. Nxg3 Re5 23. Rhg1 Rg5 {Fantastic Pin....h4 push is coming too..maybe.} 24. Qf2 Re8 {Another rook is involved. That is the fault if the king is at the center...} 25. Qe3 Qh4 {Never exchange the queen..} 26. Qf2 Qh3 {White is squeezed here...sooner the position will collapse.} 27. Nf5 { BLUNDER!!! Knight is free...} Qxf5 28. Rxg5 Qxg5 29. Rg1 Qh6 30. Qg3 Nc5 { Knight comes to defend the bishop.. anyway, this game is over...one piece down is too much...} 31. Nf1 Ne6 32. Ne3 Nd4+ 33. Kd3 Re6 {It will go to g6 to exchange the rook..} 34. c3 Rg6 35. Qf2 Rxg1 36. Qxg1 Nxf3 {White should have resigned here, prolonging the agony...} 37. Qg3 Ne5+ 38. Kc2 Qg6 39. Qh3 Bf6 40. Nf5 Kh7 41. Qh1 Qg4 {Its over...} 42. Ne3 Qe2+ 43. Kb3 Qxe3 {Another piece taken..} 44. Qxh5+ Kg7 {Black Resigned: Yes.. playing fast chess is stressful. Most likely blunders happen. But let us congratulate GM Sergey Karjakin for his effort and showed us how to handle the 3...Qh4 line. Thanks so much... GM Karjakin...} 0-1
