Wei Yi vs David Navara - 2016 Tata Steel Chess Tournament

Wei Yi plays the d3 system in the Ruy Lopez in Round 9 of the 2016 Tata Steel Chess Tournament against the Czech Republic's super-talent David Navara. It's a classic struggle of better pawn structure vs the bishop pair. Will it be Wei Yi's better structure or David Navara's bishop pair that prevails, or might neither be the most important factor since the kings reside on opposite wings? Timing is everything when king hunting!

Navara just forgot the first rule of a good defence "When knight on f8 - there will be no mate!" And to be serious, I think the idea behind Nb8 was to leave the f8 square free, so that bishop can one day use it to protect g7 and overprotect h6, this is usually another nice defensive resoure, but definitely not the case here. Thank you, Jerry! Very nice coverage, as always!

Navara's positioning of the Nc6 does allow a clear view of the King side for both the Queen Bishop and the Queen. Also, if Nc6 then that makes it a little more difficult for white's dark square bishop to access the Queen side. That's what I see at least. Great Video! As always!

I think Navara assumed that the king side was going to be locked like in the other game but totally misunderstood the knights involvement in that "locking" of the king side, and thought to use it queen side.

Does anyone else feel that black doesn't look like a 2700+ rated player at all? I mean, it was clear from Queen side castling that white was going to hit out on the King side and yet Black did nothing to stop it and allowed the punches to land on him. Seems like a pretty ordinary game from Black to be honest.

@zifircin1797 8 жыл бұрын

Jerry! The idea behind Nb8 instead of Nf8 was to leave the e6 square availiable for the bishop, so the position wouldn't be too cramped. Not sure if it was the best but that was the idea behind it

Looked to me like not only was Black’s 12th and 13th a non-plan, but prior to those, when Black might have mobilized his QBP(s) to reinforce the center, and/or his QNP, to chase White’s QN away and prep for a QueenSide attack, he logjammed his forces there. As it was, it was just another one of those open games where Black twists his ankle coming out of the gate, and thereafter his QueenSide pieces watch, as his Kingside castle crumbles.

@vaibhav1933 8 жыл бұрын

my guess about the strange Nb8 move: in the line at 11:53 g4 can be played straight away since the knight on e6 cuts off Black's c8 bishop from g4. and at 12:28 white has to play Rg1 to prep g4. i could be wrong but those are my thoughts

I think black had a chance with 13 ... Bg4, even though you say that doesn't prevent g5 but what about 13 ... Bg4 14. Ne3 Qc8 (or d7). Another idea is b5, creating a counter-attack. Great vid regardless, thanks Jerry.

@jasonrawls6959 8 жыл бұрын

On move 4, I still don't understand why black can't play the desirable Bd6 instead of Bc5. How does the white bishop on b5 affect anything?

@emokehaupt8584 8 жыл бұрын

Hi Jason if you play bd6 you're blocking your center pawn which usually is not a good.idea because you wanna establish him in the center to get some control at some stage of the game

@KARTIKEYA007 8 жыл бұрын

I think Nb8 was played as navara wanted to keep the diagonal open for the bishop on c8, Ne6 obstucts Bishope's view and he probably thought that his knight would be going to d4 anyway so why obstruct the bishop in the way? i don't think there is any other reason, what do you think?

@zstephen1 8 жыл бұрын

Move 17 in the Wei game, my first instinct was sacrifice with the bishop because once the knight lands on the g5 square it is already controlling some nice squares around the black king. Mind you, this is with very little calculation to back up my idea but what are the differences other than that the bishop captures with a threat? Is that tempo that valuable? Anyone's input is welcome :) thanks!

@futurefox128 8 жыл бұрын

+zstephen1: I was wondering myself, so I looked it up. Bxg5 first is actually bad/losing for black. So yes, the tempo is worth it, and it seems it's also important to restrict the black queen: 16. Bxg5 hxg5 17. Nxg5 Nd4 18. Qd2/Qe3/Qd1 --> black can play Qf6, which seems to be a great defender on that square and also has some aggressive intentions like doubling up on the f-file and threatening a check. Black can also still challenge the knight with their bishop if they need to and white can't play h6 easily like in the game at all (stockfish reads a half or full pawn adventage for black after Qf6) Btw. I know you from the simul here and from chessbrah's stream :D

@zstephen1 8 жыл бұрын

Ah, it appears quite crucial for the attack that Qf6 is not a possibility. I didn't give much analysis when posting this question but it makes a lot of sense now. And yeah, I did horrible in the simul. Qd2 was an awful mouse slip that likely cost me that game, trying to fight back from a bad position was tough.

@sooooooooDark 8 жыл бұрын

late into the game wouldnt it be good to take the black square bishop of black with the not so active knight on c4? the bishop was a potential defender of g5 and didnt look like to have any greater purpose at all i know that would fix blacks pawn structure a bit but meh for the bishop pair + a weaker opponent defense id say its worth it (or not?)

The only reason I would consider for knight going to b8 on move 12 is to not obstruct the light squared bishop. Maybe if knight gets into e6 then g4 can be played immediately?

@ongyj 8 жыл бұрын

Very interesting ideas shared. I've definitely picked up something. I'm just a newbie @ chess. I thought from a pure developmental point of view, 5.Bxc6 is not that good a move for White, because not only does it offer to give up the Bishop pair, from a pure developmental point of view, White gives up 1 move. (when 5...dxc6 actually helps in Black's development. Not sure how we should actually see the objective merits/shortcomings of the move. Wonder if anyone could offer me more advice. Thanks in advance.

While I agree that the Knight on e6 would have been more infuential and flexible compared to c6, maybe Navarra didn't want to block both his Bishop's view on the sensitive f5 square and his Rook on e8?

@MrAndersonmm 8 жыл бұрын

At 12:00, the knight would be blocking the Bishop from seeing g4 momentarily. I don't know if g4 would be a good move in that spot, though it does start an attack, with R(d)g1 to follow. Wouldn't that be a good beginning for an attack? Say, .... Ne6 g4 From there, doesn't the Knight have to stay, watching over g5 (especially with Rd>g1 to follow, looking for a g5 advance. This is probably easily refuted (I've never had a rating above 1550 on Chess.com) but it's what jumps out to me on why you wouldn't want to go that route.

also, if you analyse it using stockfish, it doesn't think the move Ng1 is necessarily a bad idea, or losing. I suggest you watch chess24's analysis of the game, GM Gustafsson looks at the differences and the computer holds the position as even. I really don't think one should comment on the validity of a move played by a GM if one is lower rated.
