Richter–Veresov Attack D01
1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bf4 e6 4. Nb5 Na6 5. e3 Be7 6. Nf3 0-0 7. h4 c5 8. c3 Bd7 9. a4
9. ... cxd4? A grave error, which leaves White with a free hand on the Kingside. Better is 9. ... c4 10. b3 Qa5 11. bxc4 (11. Nd2 might have been less complacent) 11. ... Bxb5 12. axb5 Qxc3+ 13. Nd2 Nb4 14. Rc1 Nd3+ 15. Bxd3 Qxd3 16. Qe2 dxc4 17. Rxc4 Qa3 18. 0-0 Rfc8 19. e4 a5 ½–½ Najer – Sjugirov, 75th Russian Chess Championship, Cheboksary 2022.
10. exd4 Ne4 11. Bd3 Be8 (11. ... Bxb5 12. axb5 Nc7 13. Ng5!)
12. Ng5! Bxg5 13. hxg5 f5 14. Qc1. So, simply, while defending the g5-Pawn, the Queen is heading to e3 and from there to the h-file.
14. ... Bxb5 15. axb5 Nc7 16. Qe3 Qd7 17. Qh3 g6 18. f3 e5 19. Bxe5 Nxg5 20. Qg3 Nge6

Speaking afterwards to TASS correspondents, Gunina explained that her poor form can be attributed to the side effects of the medicines she takes to treat her lupus disease. Photo: Sergey Sergeevich Moiseev. |
