Приключения пчёлки Майи (Maya the Bee)

Shamsiddin Vokhidov – Aleksandra Yuryevna Goryachkina
54th World Junior Chess Championship; Khanty-Mansiysk, September 7, 2015
Spanish C67

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. 0-0 Nxe4 5. d4 Nd6 6. dxe5 Nxb5 7. a4 Nbd4 8. Nxd4 Nxd4 9. Qxd4 d5 10. exd6 Qxd6 11. Qe3+ Be7 12. Nc3 c6 13. Re1 Be6 14. Ne4 Qe5 15. Bd2 0-0 16. Bc3 Qf5 17. Qg3 Qg6 18. Qc7 Bd5 19. Qxe7 Rfe8. The peaceful alternative is 19. ... Rae8 20. Qg5 ½ : ½ Shirov – Ki. Georgiev, 32nd Bosnia Chess Tournament, Sarajevo 2002.


20. Qg5. If, instead, 20. Nf6+ then 20. ... gxf6 21. Qxe8+ Rxe8 22. Rxe8+ Kg7 23. g3 h5 and, although the position is materially balanced, Black can rely on a volatile initiative, Caspi – Erenburg, Israeli Team Chess Championship 2008/2009, January 9, 2009. A critical line is 20. Qxb7 Bxe4 21. g3, but after 21. ... c5 22. Qb5 Qf5 23. Re3 a6 24. Qe2 Bc6 there will be further simplification, after which – thanks to the opposite coloured Bishops – White’s extra Pawn is quite meaningless. 20. ... Bxe4 21. Qxg6 Bxg6 22. Rac1 f6 23. f3 Kf7 24. Kf2 c5 25. Rxe8 Rxe8 26. Bd2 Re6 27. Be3 Rb6 28. b3 Rd6 29. c3 b6 30. b4 c4 31. Bd4 a6 32. Ra1 Bf5 33. a5 b5 34. Re1 h5 35. h4 Rd8 36. Kg3 Rd5 37. Kf4 Bd7 38. Kg3 Be6 39. Re2 Rd7 40. Kf4 Rd5 41. Kg3 Bd7 ½ : ½.
