The Russian Championship Superfinal, an over the board classical tournament was held in Moscow from December 5-16. This is my favorite game of the event, between Daniil Dubov and Sergey Karjakin, who played against Magnus Carlsen for the World Championship in 2016.
GAME:
[White "Dubov, Daniil"]
[Black "Karjakin, Sergey"]

I have checked this game with an engine and the engine doesn't know when Karjakin went wrong, it just realizes that black is lost after black captures on f2 (Bxf2+) which is the best move recommended by the engine. It is insane how many engine moves both Dibov and Karjakin played in this crazy game. The engine first thought that after a5 black was better (-3) but then it changed its mind all the way to +0.5 evaluation.

@heli0s101 3 жыл бұрын

There was a great interview with Dubov, where he specifically says he's not afraid of showcasing his prep and research in unimportant tournaments or games, because "by the time an important tournament comes around, half a year to a year later, he'll have thought of new ideas." This is showcased perfectly here. He's not afraid to rock the boat, throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

Jan Gustaffson said after he got done making his e5 chessable course that the Italian is actually a very vicious opening if you don't play the mainline c3 d3 ideas. He was using a pretty advanced version of Leela too. He also said that Leela proposed some new lines in the Marshall Attack that traditional engines didn't like with Leela saying there's enough long-term compensation.

About 2:25, according to agadmator's video, if d5 exf6 dxc4, you now have b5 kicking the knight out, and the knight doesn't have the usual e7 square to retreat to. Black would either have to undevelop with Nb8 or go to the rim with Na5, and probably Karjakin wanted to avoid that position. Do you think there should be more than this to consider, or knowing this, would you say Karjakin was correct to move his knight to e4?
