Annotated game.[/lang_en]
[lang_nl]De 38e editie van het traditionele Bosna-toernooi, georganiseerd door de club Bosna in Sarajevo, wordt gehouden van 22 mei tot 2 juni.
Dit jaar is het een dubbelrondige zeskamp met een gemiddelde rating van 2694. Dit gemiddelde wordt lekker omhoog getrokken door de aanwezigheid van Alexander Morozevich. Het is goed om hem te zien schaken; dit jaar speelde hij alleen mee in het Amber-toernooi en bij het Russisch Teamkampioenschap.
Op dit toernooi is hij natuurlijk zwaar favoriet en dat gaat hij ongetwijfeld waarmaken. De huidige stand na drie rondes:

[/lang_nl][lang_en]The 38th edition of the traditional Bosna tournament is held under the auspices of Canton of Sarajevo and Government of Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, from May 22 until June 2, 2008. It’s organised by the Sarajevo Chess Club ?¢‚Ǩ?ìBosna?¢‚Ǩ? and the venue is the Concert Hall of House of Army.
This year’s edition is a six-player double round-robin with an average Elo of 2694. (Next to this “A” event there’s also a “B” tournament, with a 2445 average Elo.) The rate of play is 90 minutes for 40 moves + 15 minutes for the rest of the game + 30 seconds additional time for each move from the first move.
It’s good to see Morozevich play again; this year he only played the Amber tournament and the Russian Team Championship. Of course he’s the big favorite in Bosnia and no doubt these expectations will be substantiated. Current standings after three rounds:

As co-editor Arne reminded me, Morozevich-Movsesian is similar to the following famous game (it won Kasparov the Olympiad brilliancy prize):
Manila (OL) 1992
What about another sacrifice: 25.Nxb5 cxb5 26. Be5 followed by c5-c6-c7 and white seems to win it all back with a nice position (not computer checked).
@Ardjan: Interesting! After 25. Nxb5 cxb5 26. Be5 I propose 26. … Bxf3!? 27. Bxc7 Bd5 followed by Nxc7 and Black has three pieces for queen and pawn and seems to me to be in good shape. (28. Rxe8+?, Nxe8!).
Also not computer checked by the way.
25 Nxb5 is correct according to the computer (fritz6) with a (slight?) advantage for white in the line of MvE (=best line for black, or so it seems).
In the game Kasparov-Nikolic there must have been a better defence after 17.Nxg7 right?
@JJSS Well, exchanging queens was actually quite strong by Black. 33…Bg7? was the first clear mistake.
