Beliavski vs. Larnsen
Tilburg 1981
Caro-Kann Defense, 4…Bf5
1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 dxe4 4 Nxe4 Bf5 5 Ng3 Bg6 6 h4 h6 7 Nf3
Nd7 8 h5 Bh7 9 Bd3 Bxd3 10 Qxd3 Ngf6 11 Bf4 e6 The usual line is 11…Qa5+ 12 Bd2 Qc7,
followed by queenside castling. With 11…e6 Black is aiming to castle
kingside. 12 0-0-0 Be7 13 Ne5 a5 13…0-0 is more accurate,
waiting to see White’s response before committing himself. 14 Rhe1 a4?
After 14...a4?
One liberty too many. 14 0-0 would still reach a playable
position for Black. 14 Ng6! Now Black will definitely not be
able to castle! 15…Nd5
After 15...Nd5
15…fxg6 is bad after 16 Qxg6+ Kf8 17 Rxe6 Qe8 18 Nf5! Nxh5
(18…Qxg6 19 hxg6 Bd8 20 Bd6+ Kg8 21 Rde1 mates) 19 Qxe8+ Rxe8 20 Rxe7 Rxe7 21
Bd6 Kf7 22 Nxe7 Re8 23 Nf5 Re2 24 Rf1 followed by 25 Rd1 and White consolidates
his extra pawns. 15…a3 is a tricky move. Then White should be seduced by 16
Nxh8? axb2+ 17 Kb1 Ra3 18 Nxf7 Qa8! 19 Qg6 Nf8 20 Nd6++ Kd7, when Black has
dangerous counterplay. Instead 16 b3! Is correct, with very similar play to the
game. 16…Bf8 A very bad sign, but 16…exf5 17 Nxe7 Nxe7 18 Bd6
Ne5 19 dxe5 0-0 20 e6 is hopeless for Black. 17 Bd6 Now that
the bishop is not hanging on f4, White genuinely threatens to take the
h8-rook. 17…Rg8 Forced, but it gives White = another tempo for
his attack. 18 c4 Dislodging Black’s only well-placed
pieces. 18…Nb4 19 Qh3
After 19 Qh3
Taking aim at e6. 19 fxg6 There is nothing
better. 20 Rxe6+ Kf7 21 hxg6+! Kxe6 22 Re1+ Ne5 23 Bxe5 1-0 In
a view of 23…Nd3+ 24 Kb1! Nxe5 25 Rxe5+ Kd7 26 Nxg7+ winning the queen.
