Rd1 1/2-1/2, Speelman-Johannessen, Malmo 2003 16. h3 Nxd3+ 17. Qxd3 White got what he wanted: an IQP on the black side and some exchanges. However, Black's slight advantage allows him to hold the balance tactically. 17... a5! 18. Nd4 18. O-O? Ba6 18... Ba6 19. Qf5 Rac8 20. Qf4 Now White is ready for f3 + Kf2. 20... b5! Allows White to castle normally, but then the whole queenside will disappear. This is how the game quickly ends in a draw. 21. O-O b4 22. Rfe1 bxa3 23. bxa3 Qxa3 24. Ra1 Qc5 25. Nb3 1/2-1/2

1. c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 c6 3. e4 The same strategy as Ponomariov in round 1: no theoretical help for the junior! 3... e5 4. Nf3 d6 5. d4 Bg4 6. Be3 Nbd7 7. h3 7. Be2 Be7 8. O-O O-O 9. Nd2 Bxe2 10.

14. Qf5! Qxf5 15. exf5 g5 16. fxg6 fxg6 17. f4 It's a nice ending for White, with the bishop pair and a "queenside" pawn majority. 17... Rhf8 18. g5 Ne8 19. Rdf1 Rf7 20. Bd3 hxg5 21. fxg5 Rxf1+ 22. Rxf1 c5 23. Bf2 Ne5 24. Be4 Nc7 25. Bg3 Rh8 26. b3 b6 27. Rd1 Rh7 28. Kb1 Bf8?!

Necessary was 28... Rg7 29. Bxe5! This wins by force. 29... dxe5 30. Bxg6 Rxh4 31. Bf5+ Kb7 32. Rd7 Rf4 More stubborn was 32... Kc6 33. Rf7 Rh8 34. g6 Rg8 but after 35. Kc2 Black is paralyzed. 33. Rf7 Bd6 34. g6 34. g6 Rf1+ 35. Kc2 Rg1 36. g7 wins a full rook. 1-0
