World Championship Candidates Semi-Finals Elista 2007. Round 5 31st May 2007. Comments by Mark Crowther. Flash game notes by IM Malcolm Pein. Another exciting day at the Candidates saw one more player go through, Polgar keep herself alive and Magnus Carlsen get strike straight back in his match.  Photo © Casto Abundo [http://www.fide.com] The tie of the round has turned out to be Magnus Carlsen against Levon Aronian. Magnus Carlsen levelled things up in the match for the second time in a match which has seen just one draw. They discussed a Queen's Indian where Carlsen was given full reign in the centre in return for black having what looked like good play on the queenside. In retrospect 17...b4 is probably a serious error and white has a couple of very dangerous ways of playing. On move 24. Carlsen could have gone for what looks like a crushing attack with 24.Ne5, instead he allowed Aronian to bail out into an ending after he chose 24.Be4. Carlsen was still winning but he had to be tremendously accurate and in the end won by a tempo in a very fine game. Carlsen,M (2693) - Aronian,L (2759) [E12] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.a3 The Petrosian System which Kasparov later popularised. White fights for e4 by preventing Bb4. This is a clever choice as Carlsen reaches a similar type of structure to that seen in game 3 which he won 4...Bb7 5.Nc3 d5 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.Qc2 Be7 8.e4 Nxc3 9.bxc3 0-0 10.Bd3 c5 11.0-0 Qc7 [11...Qc8 To prepare Ba6 is also popular] 12.Qe2 Of course White wants queens on 12...Nd7 13.Bb2 c4 An extemely risky plan.

The game started with rather conservative play from both sides, Polgar because she didn't want to hit all the analysis she's been having trouble with and Bareev because he wanted to keep things quiet. Polgar quickly sharpened things up and her 19.Nc3 certainly looked to put her well on top. The computers suggest 23....Rf7 is a defence because the g5 pawn is en-prise with check in an important line but Bareev being human fell to a very quick attack. All to play for in the final game. Polgar,Ju (2727) - Bareev,E (2643) [B11] 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Nf3 Bg4 4.h3 Bxf3 5.Qxf3 e6 6.Be2 Nd7 7.d3 g6 8.0-0 Bg7 9.Bf4 [9.Qg3 Qb6 10.Kh1 Ne7 11.f4 f5 12.e5 d4 13.Nb1 Nd5 14.Na3 Bf8 15.Nc4 Qc7 16.a4 N7b6 17.Qf2 Nxc4 18.dxc4 Nb4 19.Bf3 Bc5 20.Rd1 Qe7 21.Qe2 a5 22.c3 dxc3 23.bxc3 Na6 24.Be3 Bxe3 25.Qxe3 Qc5 26.Qd4 Kf7 27.Rab1 Rab8 28.Rb6 Qe7 29.Bxc6 bxc6 30.Rxa6 Rhd8 31.Qg1 Rxd1 32.Qxd1 Rd8 33.Qf3 Qa3 34.Kh2 Rd7 35.Qxc6 Re7 36.Ra8 Qc1 37.Qf3 Kg7 38.Rd8 Rc7 39.c5 Qa3 40.Qa8 Qxc5 41.Rg8+ Kh6 42.Qd8 Qe7 43.Qd2 Rc4 44.Qd6 Qf7 45.Rf8 Qb7 46.Qd8 Qe4 47.Qh4+ Kg7 1/2-1/2 Anand,V (2650)-Karpov,A (2730)/Brussels 1991] 9...Qb6 10.Nd1 Ngf6 11.a4 a5 12.g4 two down with two to play, its time for hackery ! 12...e5 13.Bd2 Nc5 14.g5 dxe4 15.dxe4 Nfd7 First sign of nerves jangling?

He did this in a game which was probably rather sharper than he would have preferred. Grischuk was a bit short of time coming up to first time control but his 40.Rd2 with mating threats was enough to force the draw just a few moves later and allow him to progress. Grischuk,A (2717) - Malakhov,V (2679) [B61] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5 Bd7 Malakhov's trainer was Alexey Dreev and his influence is felt again here 7.Qd2 h6 8.Bxf6 gxf6 9.0-0-0 Nxd4 10.Qxd4 As in game 1 except that White had played Bb5 instead of 0-0-0 10...Qa5 11.f4 Rc8 12.Kb1 Qc5 13.Qd3 Blacks central pawn mass, bishop pair and c file make endgames good for him.

But this endgame is completely different. Black has to give up his prized possession on g7 to regain the pawn and White has the edge. Grischuk slowly steers the game to a draw and reaches the last eight 18...Bxc3 19.bxc3 exd6 20.Rxd6 Ke7 21.Rd3 a6 22.Ba4 Rc4 23.Rd4 Rxc3 24.Re1 b5 25.Bb3 Rhc8 26.Re5 h5 27.Rd2 R3c6 28.h4 Kf6 29.Kb2 Rg8 30.Re3 a5 31.g3 Rgc8 32.a3 a4 33.Bxe6 fxe6 34.Re5 Rc3 35.Rde2 Kf7 [35...R8c6 36.Rxe6++-] 36.Rxb5 Rxg3 = 37.Rb7+ Kf6 38.Rh7 Rc6 39.Rh6+ Kf7 40.Rd2 Kg7 41.Rxh5 Rf3 42.Rd7+ Kg8 43.Rg5+ Kh8 44.Rh5+ 1/2-1/2  Photo © Casto Abundo [http://www.fide.com] Michael Adams against Alexei Shirov was another typical game in their match, a heavyweight struggle with complex play. The Queen and Knight ending however was dead drawn. This leaves Shirov needing a win with white in the final game to stay in the match. Adams,Mi (2734) - Shirov,A (2699) [C77] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.Qe2 Avoiding any more main line Archangel after 5.0-0 b5 and Bc5 5...b5 6.Bb3 Bc5 7.d3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.Bg5 Qe7 10.Nbd2 h6 11.Bh4 Nd8 This manouevre is often seen in the 4 Knights.

It required accurate defending but he managed to do so and so will only need a draw with white in the final game to progress. Ponomariov,R (2717) - Rublevsky,S (2680) [D17] 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.a4 Bf5 6.Ne5 e6 7.f3 c5 8.e4 Bg6 This line was prepared by Kramnik for Topalov and it is looking like another Berlin Wall type concept in that Black accepts he is slightly worse but defies White to achieve anything concrete before he has unravelled and equalised. 9.Be3 cxd4 10.Qxd4 Qxd4 11.Bxd4 Nfd7 12.Nxd7 Nxd7 13.Bxc4 a6 [13...Rc8 14.Ba2 a5 novelty was played in game 1] 14.Ke2 Rg8 15.h4 [15.Rhd1 Rc8 16.b3 Bc5 17.a5 Ke7 and drawn in 31 moves Topalov-Kramnik WCC Elista 2006] 15...Rc8 [15...h5 16.Rhd1 Rc8 17.Bb3 Bb4 18.Rac1 Ke7 19.Na2 Bc5 1/2-1/2 Ruck,R (2526)-Gustafsson,J (2584)/Graz AUT 2006/The Week in Chess 627] 16.Ba2 Bc5 17.Bxc5 Rxc5 18.Rac1 [18.h5 Rxh5] 18...h5 19.b4 Rc6 20.Nb1 [20.Ke3 Ke7 21.Ne2 Rgc8 22.a5!?] 20...Ke7 21.Rxc6 bxc6 22.Nc3 [22.Rc1 Rb8 23.Rxc6 Rxb4 24.Nc3 Rb2+ 25.Kf1 a5 =] 22...Rb8 [22...c5 23.b5 axb5 24.axb5 Ra8 also seems to provide enough counterplay] 23.Rb1 f5

Yet another intense struggle ended in a draw but Gelfand looked quite on top until a nice manoever allowed Kasimdzhanov to eliminate a dangerous pawn. Gelfand didn't feel like pressing Rook and three pawns against Rook and two all on one side. The match is level but white for Kasimdzhanov in the final game must give him at least a small edge.Gelfand,B (2733) - Kasimdzhanov,R (2677) [D48] 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5 Although this match had already see four draws all the games have been in sharp variations. if anything Kasim has been pressing most of the time, this time it was Gelfand who got the edge 8.Bd3 a6 9.a4 Forcing Black to weaken himself with b5-b4 if he wishes to play the freeing move c6-c5 9...Bb7 10.0-0 b4 11.Ne4 c5 12.Nxf6+ gxf6 Bold play again, Qxf6 is nearly always played when White continues 13.Qe2 13.Qe2 [13.e4 cxd4 14.Nxd4 Ne5 15.Be2 Bxe4 16.Be3 Bd6 17.f3 Bb7 18.Qd2 and although White won Black looks Ok at this stage I Sokolov-J Piket Ned Ch 2002] 13...Bd6 14.Bd2 Rg8 15.a5 Qb8 Black has quite good counterplay 16.h3 f5 17.e4 c4 [17...cxd4 18.exf5 Ne5! 19.Be4 d3 20.Qe3 exf5 Looks incredibly risky but Black appears to be better; 17...cxd4 18.exf5 Ne5 19.Ng5 Nxd3 20.fxe6 Rxg5 21.exf7+ Kxf7 22.Bxg5 was just too risky] 18.Bc2 fxe4 19.Bxe4 Nf6 20.Bxb7 Qxb7 21.Rac1 [21.Qxc4 Qxf3 -+] 21...Ne4!
