GM. McDonald, IM Malcolm Pein and FM Chris Duncan
Kramnik has been pretty dominant in the five games so
far,
only experiencing difficulties in game three. On the
other
hand, he failed to seize his chances in game four and
only has
a slender one point lead. Kasparov is bound to have a
good
spell of his own at some point in the match, so the
match is
finely balanced. I expect Kasparov to play solidly
today, while
the Challenger will be keen to increase his lead. 1.d4
d5 2.c4 dxc4 Here we go again! 3.Nf3 e6
4.e3 c5 5.Bc4 a6 6.0-0 Nf6 7.a4
Kramnik decides to play more sharply than in Game Four,
where he forced the exchange of queens with 7.dxc5.
Instead
he looks to restrain Black on the queenside.
7...
Nc6 8.Qe2 cxd4 9.Rd1 Be7 10.exd4 0-0
11.Nc3 Nd5 12.Bb3
More natural was 12.Bd3. In the
IQP the White bishop is often
best placed on d3 where it points at the kingside.
12... Re8 13.h4
The central situation is stable so White feels
justified
in
offering a pawn for a wing attack against the black
king.
13...
Ncb4 It would be risky for Black to snatch the pawn with
13...Nxc3 14.bxc3 Bxh4, as 15. Nxh4 Qxh4 16.d5 looks
dangerous. So Kasparov prefers to strengthen his control
over the d5 square and prevent the white bishop joining
into
the attack with Bc2 aiming at h7.
14.h5 Forward
on the foe! Kramnik wants to use his h pawn
as a battering ram to break up Black's kingside. His
attacking
scheme will include moves like Ne5 and Qg4.
14... b6
Kasparov has only to play Bb7 and Rc8
to complete
his development. I [Neil McDonald] just don't believe
he
faces
any real danger from this version of White's standard
IQP
attack- the bishop on b3 is out of the fight for the
time being
and the rook on d1 would be better placed on e1.
15.Ne5 Bb7 16.a5
Kramnik is certainly getting full
value with his rook pawns!
White wants to activate his bishop after 16...bxa5 with
17.Ba4.
16...b5 This solid response gains control of the c4
square.
17.h6
A more direct assault with 17.Qf3 was also
possible, when
the best reply may have been 17...Rf8. Instead Kramnik
loosens the dark squares around Black's king.
17... g6 18.Ne4
The knight looks both towards
the queenside [Nc5] and the
kingside. A nasty trap would be 18...Nf6? 19 Nxf7! Kxf7
20.Ng5+ Kf8 [21...Kg8 22.Qxe6 mates] 21.Nxe6+ winning
the queen. Of course the World Champion probably takes a
nanosecond to see such a tactic! He could try 18...Nc6
to
answer 19.Nc5 with 19...Nxd4!, but 19...Rc8 is the
predictable reply.
18. ..Nc7
This retreat was a real surprise. Kasparov strengthens
the e6
square and clears the way to challenge White's light
squared
bishop with Bd5. Now a draw is possible after 19.Nc3
Ncd5
20.Ne4, but White can continue playing for the advantage
with 19.Qf3 when f5, Nf6+ then Qxb7 should be better for
white, but it's not clear how beneficial this move is
after just
Rf8 defending f7.
19. Nc5
The two white knights have both found imposing squares,
and
there is the tactical threat of 20.Nxf7! Kxf7 21.Nxe6
with a
decisive looking attack. So Kasparov has to eliminate
the
knight immediately or guard the f7 square
with
..Bd5.
The
game has reached a critical point- can Black
successfully
liquidate and avoid the danger?
20.Ra3
Kramnik finds a way to bring his last inactive piece
into the
battle. Inexperienced players often miss the chance to
develop their rooks in a lateral way. From a3 the rook
can
swing over to the kingside and add to the attack on f7.
It's no
mean achievement for Black to force the exchange of
light
squared bishops here, but we will soon see if the cost
has
been too much.
20 ... Nc6
With the incidental
threat of Nxd4.
Kasparov returns his errant knight to the centre. Now all
his
minor pieces are strongly centralised and ready for any
attack
Kramnik might be about to launch. There is the
incidental
threat of 21...Nxd4. Black is a little congested and
would
welcome some exchanges, especially as this would lessen
the
attacking forces Kramnik could employ against his king.
The
clock times are 35 minutes left for Kasparov, 29
minutes
left
for Kramnik. So an exciting time scramble looms if the
Challenger manages to keep up the tension.
21.Bxd5 Qxd5
White has two well-placed knights and his rooks are
ready for
action but his light squares have become slighlty weak
and his
bishop on c1 is passive. Black only has one badly-placed
piece, the knight on c7.
22. Ncd7
Essentially forcing a series of exchanges, but watch
out! If
you to play Bxa3 taking the white rook, then white has
Nf6+!
and the black has been forked on the dark squares and
will
lose his queen (d5). Also there is the threat of 23 Nb6
forking
queen & rook (a8).
22... Rad8
The best move -
cutting across all of the above-mentioned
threats.
23. Nxc6
If this is necessary then
white certainly has no claim to
advantage. The position seems equal. Kramnik (9mins) -
Kasparov (22 mins).
23 ... Rxd7
Not falling for 23 ... Qxc6 24 Qe5 and white has
managed
to
exploit his dark square bind since black has to offload
a pwan
(f7-f6) in order to cope with the mating threat on g7.
24. Nxe7+ Rexe7 25. Rc3
Played quickly - note that Kramnik is already down to
his last
10 minutes. Seizing control of the c-file is most
natural.
25 ... f6!?
To control the e5 square and to make space for the king
avoiding any back rank pitfalls created by Kramnik's
pawn on
h6.
26. Be3
The bishop finally enters the
fray, clearing c1 for the second
rook. White will have some pressure on the c-file to
compensate for the isolated pawn.
26 ... Kf7
27. Rdc1 Qb7
clearing d5 for the knight whih of
course everyone knows is
the best blockader of a passed pawn:)
28. Rc5 Nd5
29. Qf3
Introducing ideas of Bg5 combined with Rd5 after which
white crashes through on f6. Kramnik is creating some problems for
black despite his time trouble.
29 ... Nb4
Countering the threat mentioned above and threatening a fork on d3 -
black would be very happy to exchange queens
here and play against the isolated d pawn without
having
to worry about threats to his king.
30.Qe2
Rc7
They are both very short of time - down to their last few
minutes. ..
31.Bf4
Kramnik converts his c-file control into a passed pawn -
his
grip on the dark squares has tightened somewhat also -
black
must play some accurate moves now to hold the balance.
31 ... Rxc5 32.dxc5 e5
Otherwise the bishop settles on d6. Black seeks
counterplay with his kside pawn majority.
33.Qd2 Nc6
Again, blocking the passed pawn, but
now
white turns his attentions to the d-file.
34.Qd5+
Gaining time to improve the queen (f3)
34 ... Kf8
35.Be3 Qd7
This is still unconfortable for black who has to defend
the weakened squares around his king.
36.Qf3 Kf7 37.Rd1
Wresting back the d file from
Black. The weakness of the d6
square and the f6 pawn give Black some cause for
concern.
37 ... e4
Kasparov counterattacks! He asserts his
control over the light squares and drives the white queen to a less
active square.
38.Qe2 Qf5
The black queen takes over from
her
White counterpart on the f file. 39.Rd6 Re6 40.Rd7+
This looks like a repetition to get safely to the time
control.
40...Re7 41.Rd6 Re6 42.Qd1
Kramnik presses for the win. His ideas include 43.Qb3 pinning the
rook or 43.Rd5. Now 42...Rxd6 43.cxd6 is double edged. The d6 pawn
can be blockaded successfully, but if White's queen ever broke
through the 'forgotten' pawn on h6 could turn into a monster.
42... g5
The World Champion cuts off the white h pawn from the
defence of the bishop, but what happens if White checks on h5?
43.Qh5+ Ke7 44.Qd1
A bit of cat and mouse. Kramnik shows
that
he is the one with the initiative and can repeat the position if he
pleases.
44... Kf7
The main strength of White's passed pawn on c5 is that
it provides the rook with an outpost square right in the heart of
Black's position. This is irritating for Kasparov who has to defend
passively but it doesn't seem to put his game in serious jeopardy.
After all, his pieces are on good defensive squares.
45.Rd7+
The best winning chance. Black has set up a firm defensive line on
his third rank so White tries to get in along the second rank. The
black king will be the target.
45... Kg6 46.Rg7+
White
sacrifices his h pawn to penetrate with his queen.
46... Kxh6
47.Qd7
Suddenly there is the big threat of 48.Qf7 followed
by
49.Bxg5+ winning. Does Kasparov have a good defence against this? If
47...Ne5 48.Rxh7+ Qxh7 49.Qxe6 will win at least a pawn. Though this
may well be his best hope- if Black's queen could get at the white
king there would be
chances of a perpetual check.
47...Re5
Kasparov defends his
queen in anticipation of the threat
mentioned above.
48.Qf7 Rd5
Looking for counterplay with
49...Rd1+.
49.Kh1 An incredible move! White keeps the tension as
49...Rd1+ 50.Kh2 leaves Black facing the threat of 51.Bxg5+ and if
50...Qe5+ 51.g3 and the checks dry up.
49... Nd8
If this
is the best move then Kasparov's position is hopeless
as it just leads to an endgame a pawn down.
50.Rxh7+ Qxh7 51.Qxd5
The World Champion is now losing! <,br> 51... Kg6+ 52.Kg1 Qc7
53.Qg8+
A finesse before capturing the pawn on e4
. 53...
Kf5
54.Qd5+ Kg6 55.Qxe4+ Kg756.Qa8
Now Kramnik goes after the a6
pawn.
56... Qd7
The only chance of saving himself is by
giving
perpetual check.
57.Kh2 Qd3
Kasparov has already
produced
a miracle in Game Four. Can he do something similarly incredible
here?
58.g3 Nf7
The light squares around White's king cry
out
'swindle!'
59.Qb7
The queen prevents the knight entering
the
game for a move.
59...Kg6
With the strong move 60...Ne5
looming.
60.Qxa6 Ne5
Now White has to deal with Nf3+
perhaps in combination with g5-g4. On the queenside Black is
entirely
defeated, but the
battle still rages on the kingside. A world Champion never gives up
without a hard fight.
61.Qa8
Ruling out 61...g4 because of62.Qg8+ Kf5 6.Qh7+ forcing the
exchange
of queens. But there are other light squares which are inviting for
the black knight and queen.
61... Ng4+
Now 62.Kh3 Qf5!
seems
to hold the draw. Kramnik must be feeling that the Gods are against
him.
Kh3
Is Kramnik going to be the one to force a draw
here?
63... Kh6 64. Qh6+ Kg6 65.Qe8+
The only way to
play for a win is to defend the bishop with gain of time and then
play Kg2, but this is too dangerous for White, for example 65...Kh6
66.Kg2 Qd5+ 67.f3 Ne5 and f3 drops with a disaster for White.
65... Kh6 66.Qh8+
Kramnik offered a draw here which was
accepted by Kasparov. A great fighting game and an escape worthy of
Houdini by the
World Champion.
