East India Game: Queen's Indian Defense (Kasparov-Petrosian Opening)

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.Nc3


This move has been dubbed the Kasparov Opening. It takes on the charateristics of older oprenings.
The more traditional move is 4.g3 when:
4...Ba6 5.b3 Bb4+ 6.Bd2 Be7 7.Bg2 then:
7...c6 8.Bc3 d5 9.Ne5 Nfd7 10.Nxd7 Nxd7 11.Nd2 0-0 12.0-0 Rc8 13.e4 then:
13...b5 14.Re1 dxe4 then:
15.Nxe4 bxc4 16.Qe2 Rb8 17.Bf1 Qc8 18.bxc4 Nb6 19.Nd2 Na4 20.Ba5 is equal (Mamedyarov-Adams, MTel, Sofia, 2007).

13...c5 14.exd5 exd5 15.dxc5 dxc4 16.c6 cxb3 17.Re1 b2 18.Bxb2 Nc5 19.Nc4 Bxc4 20.Qg4 Bg5 21.Qxc4 Nd3 22.Be5 Nxe1 23.Rxe1 Bf6 24.Bxf6 Qxf6 25.c7 Qd6 26.Rc1 b5 27.Qc2 b4 28.Bb7 g6 29.h4 White will soon make up his lost material (Sasikiran-Shirov, IT, Foros, 2007).
7...d5 8.cxd5 exd5 9.Nc3 0-0 10.0-0 Bb7 11.Qc2 Na6 then:
12.Rfd1 Qc8 13.Bf4 Rd8 14.Ng5 Qd7 15.Be5 g6 16.Bh3 Qe8 17.Qc1 c5 18.a4 gives White the advantage in space, but it's hard to find a focus to attack (Ivanchuk-Kramnik, Blitz Cup, Moscow, 2007).
12.Bf4 Re8 13.Rfd1 c6 14.Ne5 h6 15.a3 Nc7 16.e4 Ne6 17.Be3 Bf8 18.b4 Rc8 19.Qb3 dxe4 20.Nxe4 Nd5 21.Rac1 f6 22.Ng6 gives White a huge advatage in space (Grischuk-Gelfand, World Cup, Khanty Mansyisk, 2005).
If 4...Bb7 5.Bg2 Be7 6.0-0 0-0 7.Nc3 then:

12...Qc7 13.Qd2 Rd8 14.dxc5 dxc5 15.Qf4 Na6 16.Qxc7 Nxc7 17.Bxf6 gxf6 18.Ne1 Bxg2 19.Kxg2 Kf8 20.Rd3 Rxd3 21.Nxd3 Ke7 22.Rd1 Ne8 23.g4 draw (Hort-Karpov, Buenos Aires, 1980).

8...c6 9.e4 dxc4 10.Nxc4 Ba6 11.b3 b5 12.Ne3 b4 13.Ne2 Bxe2 14.Qxe2 Qxd4 15.Bb2 Qb6 16.Nc4 Qb5 17.Bxf6 Bxf6 18.e5 Be7 is equal (Aronian-Tiviakov, Corus A, Wijk aan Zee, 2007).

14...Qxd5 15.Bxh7+ Kh8 16.Re1 Nc6 is equal.

If 15...Nxa6 16.Rfd1 Rd8 17.Rab1 then:
17...Qb7 18.d5 exd5 19.exd5 Bd6 20.Bxd6 Rxd6 21.Re1 Nc7 22.c4 the pawn at e5 makes it difficult for Black to maneuver.
17...Bd6 18.Bxd6 Rxd6 19.Ng5 f6 20.e5 Rd5 21.c4 Rxd4 22.exf6 Rxd1+ 23.Rxd1 gxf6 24.Nxe6 leaves White in command of the center for the endgame.

15...Bxd3 16.Rxd3 Nd7


White's central pawns are so strong that Black cannot generate any threats.
After 16...c4 17.Rdd1 Nd7 18.a4 Qa6 19.Rdb1 Rac8 White has in maintaining his advantage in space.

17.h4 Re8 18.h5!?


White moves for a kingside attack when perhaps a breakthrough in the center would be more feasible.
After 18.Re3 cxd4 19.cxd4 Bf6 20.Rd1 e5 21.Bg3 exd4 22.Nxd4 White continues to have the advantage in space..

19...g6!


If 19...gxh6? 20.Ne5! then:
20...Qb7 21.Rg3+ then:
21...Bg5 22.Qh5 Nxe5 23.Bxe5 Kf8 24.Rxg5 hxg5 25.Bf6 Re7 26.Qxh7 and White gains more material as the mating attack continues.

20...Nxe5 21.Rg3+! wins the Queen.

20.e5


20.Re3 Qa4 21.Qd1 Qa5 22.Bg5 f6 23.Bf4 Bf8 24.Re1 g5 25.Bd2 Bxh6 wins a pawn for Black.

20...cxd4!


Black pries open the c-file to her advantage.
20...c4 21.Rdd1 Qa4 22.Be3 Rac8 23.Ng5 is equal.

21.cxd4 Rac8 22.Qe3 b5 23.Bg5 Bf8


Black has succeeded in equalizing the game.
If 23...Bxg5?! 24.Nxg5 then:
24...Rf8 25.Ne4 Rc6 26.Qg5 f6 27.exf6 Rc2 then:
28.Re1 28...Qc6 29.d5 exd5 30.Rxd5 Nxf6 31.Nxf6+ Qxf6 32.Qxf6 Rxf6 33.Rd7 White's threats give him a substantial advantage.
24...Rc2 25.d5 exd5 26.Rxd5 Re7 27.Rad1 Rc7 28.Qb3 Qc8 29.Nxf7 wins a pawn since if 29...Rxf7? then White replies 30.e6! winning a piece.
28.Rad1 Qc6 29.Nc5 a6 30.Nxd7 Qxd7 31.d5 White is clearly better.

24.d5 exd5 25.Rxd5 Nb6 26.Rdd1


26.Rd3 allows Black to win a pawn with 26...b4 27.Qd4 Rc4 28.Qe3 bxa3.

26...Qb7


26...Qa4 27.Rd4 Rc4 28.Rd8 Rxd8 29.Bxd8 Nd5 30.Qd2 Rc5 is equal.

If 27.Qb3 Nc4 28.a4 then:

29.Nxe5? Rxe5 30.Qg3 Rce8 31.axb5 Qxb5 32.Rdb1 Qd7 gives Black an extra pawn.

27...Rc4!


Black now has the advantage in space, but the position is volitile and for both players the advantage hinges on every move.

28.Rad1 Re4 29.Qc1 Rg4!?


29...Nc4 30.Bf6 Qb6 31.a4 Re2 32.Rd4 Nb2 is equal.

30.Bf6

30...Nd7


Black sets to exchange White's dangerous Bishop.

31.Kf1?


Black plays for a win and it backfires. It was better to retain the Bishop.
If 31.Rxd7 Qxf3 32.g3 then:
32...Rc4 33.Qd2 a6 34.Qd3 Qxd3 35.R7xd3 Bxh6 36.Rd6 a5 37.R6d5 White wins back the pawn with equality.
If 32...Bxa3 33.Rd8 Rxg3+ 34.fxg3 Qxg3+ 35.Kf1 Qf3+ then:
36.Kg1 Qg3+ draws by perpetual check, since White delivers mate on e8 if not in check.
After 36.Ke1?? Black wins with 36...Bb4+ 37.R1d2 Rxd8.

Black completely destroys White's kingside threats.

32.exf6 Qb6 33.Qb2


If the pawn at f6 were a Bishop, White would be clearly winning.
