Anand PAWN STORMS Kramnik's Sicilian, Godiva

Рет қаралды 14,180

Күн бұрын

This is a rapid chess game between Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik from the 2001 Mainz CC Champions Duel Playoff. Anand pawn storms Kramnik out of an open Sicilian, Godiva variation. In an opposite sides castles game, the general idea is to open lines towards the enemy king. Anand's pawn play on the kingside is especially instructive. One misstep by Kramnik allowed Anand to turn the tables.

There is something vishy about this Anand guy... But joking aside, this was a tough game. Watching this you can really feel how both of them needed to squeeze out the very best of their thinking and tactics. Also I wanted to take the opportunity and say thank you, Jerry, for your kind and passionate way to show us so many great games.

Black moving f6 seems so natural to me, I wonder why it's hard to spot

Kramnik was the greatest closed game player of the modern era. Anand did the whole chess world a great favour in deposing him as champion.

Wooo! At 15:27, I both saw the BxC2 threat and the hxg6 line that invalidates the threat. I usually miss these things (the perils of being a relatively low ELO player). I just started from the observation that black's position is terrible; if white opens up lines towards the black king, it doesn't matter if black wins an exchange. Even ignoring the mate-in-2 threat, white has a choice to trade the rook for bishop, or queen for bishop and knight, and either choice is still winning for white.

The Godiva variation... that's what happens when the Queen goes out on the horse with nothing covering it.

@tobiasgrodde9736 20 күн бұрын

In the variation shown where White plays 21. Bxe5 it is noteworthy that after 21... Bf6/Bf8; 22. Bxd6 Rxe2; 23. Bxc7 both of Black's Rooks are attacked too.

White does lose a little bit of time playing Nb6 but black loses time having the move the queen again in order to start the themetic queenside play with a6 and b5.

@edisonhauptman6886 Ай бұрын

Hey Jerry! I’ve been getting back into playing only recently but I’ve always enjoyed these game analysis videos. Glad you’re posting more often lately. For the pop quiz at 7:52, I answered 20. …Bb7. If the rook goes anywhere but f1 then Bf3 hurts, and with 21. Rf1 on board you could play 21. …a5 to threaten another skewer. If the knight blocks, then you exchange to open up some counter-attacking lines. Maybe this is too slow/futile an attempt to disrupt the attack on the black king, but I’m not sure what to look for to talk myself out of pesky threats like this one, that don’t seem to purely help the opponent proceed with their plans. Curious to hear how folks calculate this.

@MrProSkittlez Ай бұрын

Only around 1400 elo but I would meet Bb7 with Bg2. The whole idea of Bh3 is just to keep the enemy bishop under wraps so that I can play f6 (after the capture of the knight), so I'll just match your bishop and aim for f6 with the win of the tempo. If you trade, you've just put my queen opposite your king with my pawns ready to open lines. If you leave your bishop there and go for a5 anyway, then you've blocked your rook. As black, I would take this move off the table intuitively simply because the white light square bishop is active on the open diagonals and I'd be blocking my rook. Hell, in a blitz game I may even be willing to scrap my rook as white if I think I can bust open the position fast enough with, for example, g6 since my white bishop will become a best piece on e6. There's lots of active pieces so I doubt it's a losing move, but I definitely feel like it gives white the initiative, which is why I'm refraining from posting any specific lines. Nothing concrete that just wins, but I like white in all the lines I find afterward. Black feels too slow after this

@ChessNetwork Ай бұрын

Glad you’re enjoying them. 👍

@matthewb5451 Ай бұрын

I think white would simply have f6. It's the same kind of mistake pointed out later in the video, if your opponent makes a threat, don't respond reactively if you could make a stronger threat. Bxh1 loses to fxe7, and anything else just helps white continue the attack

@n8style Ай бұрын

Interesting...

@ghost79ish Ай бұрын

Question for Jerry: When you say "the best move", is there a certain depth that you allow the computer to reach before deciding such? I just know in my own experience that if I let the computer crunch numbers for a while, it tends to change its mind in a lot of positions, especially non-forcing and complicated ones. Just curious, thanks. Great game as always

@ChessNetwork Ай бұрын

Glad you liked the game. I run Stockfish 16.1. With my setup I give it at least 15 seconds and run 2 lines mostly. It doesn’t take long in my case to reach a significant depth. It depends on the complexity of the position. After considering what white’s 17th move should be for 15 seconds, it hit depth 30.

@ghost79ish Ай бұрын

@@ChessNetwork I see. Yeah I only do lichess analysis via my phone, takes much longer to get past depth 20, particularly in complex positions.

@GregoryBreed Ай бұрын

Hi Jerry, great analysis as always. in your variation at 08:49 you suggest 23. axb4 but wouldn't black have 23... Qxd4 there goin up the exchange? and if there follows Qxe7 black could reply Qxf4.

@user-kh6xl4yg1j Ай бұрын

The pawn nuances on the kingside are instructive. Incidentally, despite what the computer says… I much prefer Vishy Anand’s Bh3 over the immediate f6, since it seems better to press home the attack with, rather than without, a queen.

@ethansmusic9898 Ай бұрын

It seems the immediate f6 and giving up the queen is a way of transforming White's advantage. The computer sees the material advantage of rook and 2 Bs vs Queen as significant enough to be winning regardless of the attacking potential. I would guess whites winning strategy is to trade down into a winning endgame
