1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qc2 O-O 5. Nf3 c5 6. dxc5 Na6 7. c6!? This move, which is similar to 6...c3 in the Gruenfeld line with 3.g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 d5 5.Nf3 dxc4 6.Na3, seems to have never been played before! It's not strange that a genius like Morozevich comes up with it. 7... dxc6 7... bxc6 is better according to Morozevich. 8. a3 Bxc3+ 9. Qxc3 Nc5 10. Be3 Nce4 11. Qe5 b5? A spectacular and very interesting reaction which is not correct however. 12. g4! Hardly out of the opening, Black loses one of his knights. 12... c5 13. g5 Qa5+ 14. b4 cxb4 15. gxf6 White's king is less exposed than it looks, and therefore Black's compensation is not enough. 15... Bb7 15... bxa3+ 16. Nd2 Bb7 17. Rg1 16. Bd2 Also possible was 16. Rg1 g6 17. Qxb5 Qc7 18. axb4 a6 19. Qe5 Qxc4 20. Nd2 Qxb4 21. Rg4 16... Rfc8 16... Qb6 17. c5 17. Bxb4 Qb6 18. c5 Qd8 19. Rg1 g6 20. Rd1 Qxf6

21. c6!? Morozevich has probably calculated the following complications until the very end, which is pretty impressive. However, the simple 21. Qxf6 Nxf6 22. Rc1 a5 23. Bd2 Ne4 24. Nd4 also does the trick, it seems. 21... Bxc6 22. Rg4 Qxe5 23. Nxe5 f5 24. Nxc6 Rxc6 25. Bg2 a5 26. Bxe4 fxe4 27. Bd2 Rc4 28. Rg5 Ra4 29. Rxb5 Rxa3 30. Rb7 a4 31. Bf4 Rb3 32. Rxb3 axb3 33. Rb1 e3 34. Bxe3 Rb8 35. Kd2 Rb4 36. f3 e5 37. Bf2 Another great game by the player who might be the new virtual number one of the world within a few days! 1-0

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Bb7 10. d4 Re8 11. Nbd2 Bf8 12. d5 12. a4 h6 13. Bc2 exd4 14. cxd4 Nb4 which,in my advanced state of senility, is an important consideration. 12... Nb8 13. Nf1 Nbd7 14. N3h2 Rc8!? A prophylactic, not so mysterious rook move, as Black will soon open the c-file. But it is new here; many other moves have been tried: 14... a5 15. Ng4 a4 16. Bc2 Nxg4 17. hxg4 c6 18.

Ng3 d5 Korneev-Ibragimov, RUS-Cup 1997 15. Ng4 The main idea of this knight manoeuvre is to exchange one defender of the d5 square. 15... Nxg4 16. Qxg4 Nc5 17. Bc2 c6 18. dxc6 Bxc6 19. Ne3 g6 20. Rd1 Bh6 The fight for d5 is in full swing - the position clearly resembles aSveshnikov. 21. b4 Ne6 22. Bb3 Kh8 23. Nd5 Bxc1 24. Raxc1 Rf8 25. Rc2 f5 26. exf5 gxf5 27. Qh5 Qd7 28. Qh6 Bxd5 29.

31. g3? Suddenly Leko gives his opponent to opportunity to take over the initiative, and turn it into a strong attack right after. 31. a4!? 31... f4! 32. Kh2 Rf6! 33. Qh5 Qf8 There you have it - the position is very difficult to defend. 34. R5d3?! Necessary was 34. Bc2 but after 34... h6 35. Be4 Ng5 36. Bg2 fxg3+ 37. fxg3 Rxc3 Black is a very healthy pawn up. 34... e4 35. Qd5 35. Bd5 exd3 36. Bxc6 fxg3+ 37. fxg3 Rf2+ 38. Rxf2 Qxf2+ 39. Bg2 d2 must be winning as well. 35... exd3 36. Qxc6 fxg3+ 37. fxg3 Ng5! 38. Bd5 Qh6?! 38... Rf2+ 39. Rxf2 Qxf2+ 40. Bg2 d2

39. h4? White's last chance was 39. Qe8+ Rf8 40. Qe1 because after 40... Qxh3+ (40... Nxh3 41. Kg2) 41. Kg1 there isn't a clear winning path for Black. 39... Nf3+ 40. Bxf3 Qxd2+ 41. Kh3 Qxa2 42. Qb6 Qe6+ 43. Kg2 Qf5 0-1
