Actually the move 13.b4 was lately the reason for popularity of the whole bishop sacrifice line. Probably it is time to have a closer look to 13.b4. White obviously wants to open files on the queenside and it also defends pawn e4 in a very original and active manner. The move is not new at all and was first played in 1979, but never considered dangerous because of the answer 13. ... Rxb4. However, the things proved far from clear after 14.Nbc7 Kd7 15.0-0, when Black must play very precise in order to avoid a quick disaster. Black tried several different ways after that, but it became more or less obvious that White has a good compensation for the piece. In the former Soviet Union the inventor of the b4 idea was considered Latvian Master Alvis Vitolinsh. It is not possible to say now if he played it before the first officially recorded game with 13.b4 ( Tringov,G-Cvetkovic,S/Vrnjacka Banja 1979), because in chess databases many Soviet tournaments are absent. Interesting is another factor. Certain is that after two decades another originally Latvian player contributed to its revival - Alexey Shirov. Maybe we should name the move 13.b4 the Latvian Variation? However, the present game is a serious blow against "Latvian Variation". The psychological effect of this game might be so strong that we won't see 13.b4 soon in the practice again, that's why I thought it is better to give this short historical background now. } (13.
