David Howell - Parimarjan Negi
Sixth International Open, Round 8
Leiden, 14 July 2012

Grand Spanish Royal Game: Derl Opening

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.d3

• For notes on this opening, see the [font color="#008000"]green notes to White's fifth move[/font] in van den Doel-Nikolic, Op, Leiden, 2011.

7...Bd6

• This variation is quite unusual as it constitutes the loss of a tempo. More common is 7...Nbd7, transposing into the game [font color="#4CC417"]Kurajica-Gligoric,[/font] which is cited in the above link.

8.Nbd2 Be6 9.b3 c5 (N)

• [font color="red"]9...Nd7 10.Bb2 c5 11.g3 0-0 12.Nh4 Re8 13.Nf5 Bxf5 14.exf5 Qg5[/font] gives Black a fair advantage in space (Kamsky-Aronian, IT A, Wijk aan Zee, 2006).

10.a4

• The game is equal.

10...0-0 11.a5 Nd7 12.Nc4 f6 13.Kh1!?

[center][/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 13.Kg1h1[/center]

• White embarks on a time consuming maeuver to push his f-pawn.
• Better is [font color="red"]13.Nh4 Nb8 14.Nf5 Nc6 15.Be3[/font] with equality.

13...Nb8

• The closed character of the position gives Black time to redeploy his Knight on c6.

14.Ng1 Nc6 15.Ne2 Qd7 16.Be3 Rad8 17.Qd2 Kh8

• If [font color="red"]17...Nd4 18.f3[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]18...Rf7 19.Kg1 Rc8 20.Rab1 Nc6 21.f4 exf4 22.Nxf4[/font] remains equal.
• If [font color="darkred"]18...Rfe8 19.Kg1[/font] then:
• [font color="darkred"]19...Bf7 20.Ng3 Bf8 21.f4 exf4 22.Bxf4[/font] remains equal.
• [font color="magenta"]19...Qb5 20.Nxd6 Rxd6 21.f4 exf4 22.Bxf4[/font] remains equal.

18.f3 Be7 19.Rf2

• If [font color="red"]19.f4 Bf7 20.fxe5 fxe5[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]21.Ng3 Bd6 22.Nf5 Be6 23.Bg5 Rde8[/font] remains equal.
• [font color="darkred"]21.Rab1!? Kg8 22.Ng1 Bxc4 23.Rxf8+ Rxf8 24.bxc4[/font] remains equal.

19...Bg8 20.Raf1 Nd4 21.Nc3

• [font color="red"]21.f4 exf4 22.Nxf4 Bf7 23.Kg1 Kg8 24.Re1 Nc6[/font] remains equal.

21...Qc6 22.f4 exf4 23.Bxf4 b5!?

• As an inaccuracy, this move isn't serious. As a calculated risk, it's a good one.
• [font color="red"]23...Be6 24.Kg1 Kg8 25.e5 f5 26.Ne2 h6 27.Be3[/font] remains equal.

24.axb6!

• Black's queenside becomes too strong after [font color="red"]24.Ne3!? Bd6! 25.Ne2 Be6 26.Nxd4 cxd4 27.Nf5[/font] remains equal.

24...cxb6 25.Ne3

• White has a slight advantage in space.

25...f5?!

• The pawn sacrifice looks dubious. How is Black to get enough compensation?
• If [font color="red"]25...Bd6 26.Ncd5 Bxf4 27.Rxf4 Bxd5 28.Nxd5[/font] continues to give White a slight advantage in space.

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

[center][/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 25...f6f5[/center]

26.Nxf5!!

• White turns it into a sham sacrifice of a Knight. When the dust settles, White will have an extra pawn and Black will have no compensation.

26...Nxf5 27.Bg5!

• As it stnads, White has only a pawn for the Knight. This is the only move to get the advantage.

27...Bxg5 28.Qxg5 h6

• [font color="red"]28...Qg6 29.Qxg6 hxg6 30.exf5 Rxf5 31.Rxf5 gxf5 32.Rxf5[/font] leaves White with an extra pawn.

29.Qd2 Ng3+

• [font color="red"]29...Qf6 30.Rxf5 Qd6 31.Qe3[/font] leaves White with an extra pawn.

30.hxg3 Rxf2 31.Rxf2

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

[center][/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 31.Rf1f2:R[/center]

• The dust is settled. White has an extra pawn.

31...b5 32.Qe3 a5 33.Rf5 c4?!

• This weakens Black's kingside.
• font color="red"]33...Rc8 34.Qc1[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]34...Kh7 35.Qa1! Be6 36.Re5 a4 37.bxa4 bxa4 38.Kh2[/font] still gives White an extra pawn; each side has a passer, with Black's being more advanced but under restraint.
• [font color="darkred"]34...a4 35.bxa4 bxa4 36.Qa3[/font] continues to give White an extra pawn and more space; Black's a-pawn is more weak than dangerous.

34.Rc5

• If [font color="red"]34.bxc4 bxc4 35.d4 Qb6 36.Rc5 a4[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]37.Nb5 Ra8 38.Na3 Re8 39.Nxc4 Bxc4 40.Rxc4[/font] is equal; White has two extra pawns, but they're pinned to the Queen.
• If [font color="darkred"]37.Nxa4 Qb1+ 38.Kh2[/font] then:
• [font color="darkred"]38...Qd1 39.Qf3 Qxd4 40.c3 Qd7 41.Nb2 Qe7 42.Qf5[/font] is equal; White has an extra pawn, but it's not going anywhere.
• [font color="magenta"]38...Qxc2?! 39.Nc3! Rf8 40.Kg1 Ra8 41.d5 Ra1+ 42.Kh2[/font] gives White two extra pawns; Black can find no effective counterplay against White's King.

34...Qf6?!

• White attacks the Bishop, but, since the d-file is about to open, it would be better to take control of it.
• If [font color="red"]34...Qd7 35.dxc4 bxc4[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]36.Rxa5 cxb3 37.cxb3 Qd3 38.Qf3 Qc2 39.Ra2 Qxb3[/font] is equal.
• [font color="darkred"]36.bxc4 Qd2 37.Qxd2 Rxd2 38.Rxa5 Bxc4 39.Rc5 Bf1[/font] is equal.

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

[center][/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 34...Qc6f6[/center]

35.dxc4!

• White has two extra pawns, but more pawn weaknesses.

35...bxc4 36.bxc4 a4 37.Ra5 Qf1+

• If [font color="red"]37...Bxc4 38.Rxa4[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]38...Be6 39.Kg1 Rf8 40.Nd5 Qf1+ 41.Kh2 Rf2 42.Nf4[/font] leaves White with two extra pawns but Black has dangerous threats in the vacinity of the White King. Both sides must proceed with caution.
• [font color="darkred"]38...Rc8 39.Ra5 Be6 40.e5 Qf8 41.Ne2 Rxc2 42.Nf4[/font] gives White an extra pawn and a strong game.

38.Kh2 Rf8 39.Qd3?!

• Even if Black were to reply by exhanging Queens, that would leave a pawn weakness d3 for Black to target.
• [font color="red"]39.Nd5 Qxc4 40.Nf4 Bf7 41.Qa3 Re8 42.Rxa4[/font] continues to give White at least one extra pawn and an comfortable game overall.

39...Qe1!

• Black compels White to abandon the watch on the a-pawn.

40.Rf5

• As just noted, this is forced.
• [font color="red"]40.Rxa4?? Rf1! 41.Qxf1[/font] (otherwise Black plays 41...Rh1#) [font color="red"]41...Qxf1 42.Nd5 Qe2[/font] leaves White with only a Rook and three weak pawns for the Queen, not a good deal at all.

40...Rxf5 41.exf5 a3 42.c5 Qe5 43.c6 Qc5

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

[center][/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 43...Qe5c5[/center]

44.c7!

• White sacrifices the c-pawn for time to destroy Black's dangerous a-pawn.

44...Qxc7 45.Nb5 Qc6?!

• Black's best chance at a win is his a-pawn, which is about to leave the board. He eschews an opportunity to force a draw.
• If [font color="red"]45...Bc4 46.Qc3[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]46...Qf7 47.Nxa3 Qh5+ 48.Kg1 Qd1+ 49.Kh2 Qh5+ etc.[/font] draws.
• [font color="darkred"]46...Qc8? 47.Nxa3! Ba6 48.Qxc8+ Bxc8 49.g4 g6 50.Nc4[/font] leaves White with two extra pawns in a minor piece ending.

46.Nxa3!

• White can stop worrying about Black's passed a-pawn and concetrate on his own c-pawn.

46...Bd5 47.Qe2 Be4 48.f6 gxf6 49.Qd2?!

• White keeps the c-pawn covered and attack Black's pawn at h6.
• Better is to manifest the passed pawn's lust to expand; [font color="red"]49.c4! f5 50.Nb5 Kg8 51.Nc3 h5 52.Qa2[/font] allows White to make slow progress.

49...Kg7!

• White has only a small advantage with his Knight poorly placed.

50.c3

• White advances the c-pawn to a square where it cannot be attacked by the Bishop. The Knight is now free to move.

50...Qa4 51.Qb2!?

• The Queen defends here, but once Black disengages, White will have to bring his Queen back into the game.
• If [font color="red"]51.Qd6 h5 52.Qe7+ Kg6 53.Qe6 Qc6 54.Qxc6 Bxc6 55.Nc2[/font] continues to give White a small advantage.

51...Bd3!?

• Not for the first time in the game, Black eschews an elementary draw.
• [font color="red"]51...Qd1 52.Nb5 Qh5+ 53.Kg1 Qd1+ 54.Kh2 Qh5+ etc.[/font] draws by repetition.

52.Qb7+

• White continues to enjoy a small advantage owing to the extra pawn.
• [font color="red"]52.Qb4?! Qxb4 53.cxb4 Kf7![/font] (centralizing the King) [font color="red"]54.g4 Ke6 55.Kh3[/font] is equal.

52...Kf8

• [font color="red"]52...Kg6 53.Qf3 Qe4 54.Qxe4+ Bxe4 55.Nc4[/font] gives White the advantage with the extra pawn, and more importantly the passed pawn, but given the pawn skeleton of the game, the Bishop is probaly a better piece than the Knight.

53.Qd5 Qa6

• [font color="red"]53...Qe4 54.Qxe4 Bxe4 55.g4 Bd3 56.Kg3[/font] still gives White a small advantage, mostly derived from the c-pawn.

54.Qc5+ Kg7 55.c4!?

• The c-pawn is the key to the game.
• [font color="red"]55.Qe7+[/font] (giving White more activity on the kingside) [font color="red"]55...Kg6 56.Qe8+ Kg7 57.Qd7+ Kg6 58.g4[/font] continues to gives White a small advantage in space.

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 55.c3c4[/center]

55...Qa8!

• The game is equal.

56.Qe7+ Kg6 57.Kg1

• [font color="red"]57.Qc5 Kg7 58.Nb5 Bf1 59.Qf2 Bxc4[/font] leaves little point to playing on further.

57...Qc6 58.Qb4 Be4 59.Qf8 h5

• [font color="red"]59...Qb6+ 60.c5 Qb4 61.Qe8+ Kg5 62.Qg8+ Kf5 63.Qc8+[/font] remains equal and lifeless.

60.Qg8+ Kh6 61.Qf8+

• [font color="red"]61.Nb5 Bd3 62.Nd4 Qc5 63.Qh8+ Kg5 64.Qg7+ Bg6[/font] gives White a small advantage, but nothing more.

61...Kg6 62.Qg8+

• If [font color="red"]62.c5 Qe6 63.Nb5 Bc6 64.Na7[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]64...Bxg2 65.Kxg2 Qe2+ 66.Kh3 Qf1+ 67.Kh2 etc.[/font] draws.
• If [font color="darkred"]64...h4 65.Nxc6[/font] then:
• [font color="darkred"]65...Qe1+ 66.Kh2 Qxg3+ 67.Kg1 Qe1+ etc.[/font] draws.
• [font color="magenta"]65...hxg3?? 66.Ne7+ Kg5 67.Qg8+ Qxg8 68.Nxg8[/font] leaves Black unable to stop the c-pawn without allowing White to pass the g-pawn and win easily.

62...Kh6 63.Nb5

• The Knight was on a3 for 17 moves. It is a testiment to Sri Negi's defense that Mr. Howell felt compelled to leave his Knight so poorly placed for so long.

63...Bxg2 64.Qf8+ Kh7

• If [font color="red"]64...Kg6 65.Nd6 f5 66.Qf7+ Kh6 67.Nxf5+ Kg5 68.Nd4 Qb7 69.Ne6+[/font] leaves The Black King in a mating attack.
• [font color="darkred"]65...Qd7 66.Qg8+ Qg7 67.Qe8+ Kg5 68.Kxg2[/font] leaves Black up a piece.

65.Qf7+ Kh6

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

66.Qf8+

• White misses a quick win.
• [font color="red"]66.Nd4 Qb7 67.Qxf6+ Kh7 68.Qg5 Bc6 69.Qxh5+[/font] gives White two extra pawns.

66...Kh7 67.Qf7+

• If [font color="red"]67.Nd4 Qb7 68.Qxf6[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]68...Bh3 69.Nf3 Bg4 70.Ng5+ Kg8 71.Qg6+ Qg7 72.Qe8+[/font]
• [font color="darkred"]68...Bh1 69.Qf5+ Kh6 70.Qf1 Kg6 71.c5 Be4 72.Qf8[/font]

67...Kh8

• [font color="red"]68...Qb7 69.Qxf6+ Kh7 70.Qg5 Be4 71.Qxh5+ Kg7 72.c5[/font] White makes progress.
• [font color="darkred"]68...Qb6[/font] simply drops the Bishop after [font color="darkred"]69.Qf8+ Kg6 70.Qe8+ Kh6 71.Qe3+ Kg6 72.Kxg2.[/font]

68.Nd4 Qe4

• If [font color="red"]68...Qb7 69.Qxf6+ Kh7 70.Qg5 Bc6 71.Qxh5+[/font] leaves Black two pawns up.

[center]BLACK: Parimarjan Negi[/center]

[center][/center]

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 68...Qc6e4[/center]

69.Qxf6+?!

• White takes the wrong pawn.
• [font color="red"]69.Qxh5+! Kg8 70.Nf5 Qe6 71.Kxg2[/font] leaves White a piece to the good in addition to the extra pawns. Exchanging Queens would give White an easy win.

69...Kg8!

• Black gets a reprieve.
• [font color="red"]69...Kh7[/font] then White wins after [font color="red"]70.Qf7+ Kh6 71.Nf5+ Kg5 72.Nd6[/font] then:
• [font color="red"]72...Qe1+ 73.Kxg2[/font] leaves White up by a piece and a passed pawn.

• [font color="red"]74...Qe6 75.c5 Kg7 76.Qd4+ Kf7 77.Qd1 Qf5 78.c6[/font] makes stopping the c-pawn very difficult.

• [font color="darkorchid"]72.Kh3 Qg4+ 73.Kg2 Qe2+[/font] invites repetition.

70...Kf8 71.Qf6+

• [font color="red"]71.Qd8+ Kf7 72.Qd7+ Kg8 73.Qc8+ Kf7 74.Qc7+[/font] continues to make the c-pawn a big advantage for White, but it is not unstoppable.

71...Kg8 72.Ne6 Qe1+ 73.Kxg2 Qe2+ 74.Kh3

• [font color="red"]74.Qf2 Qxe6 75.c5 Qe4+ 76.Kg1 Qe5 77.c6[/font] keeps the c-pawn moving forward, but it's still not unstoppable.

74...Qg4+

• Any other move either loses the Queen orallows mate on g7.

• If [font color="red"]76...Qe4+ 77.Qf3[/font] then:
• If [font color="red"]77...Qg4 78.Qf8+ Kh7[/font] then:

• [font color="red"]77...Qe4+ 78.Kg1 Kg7 79.Qb2+ Kf7 80.Qc1 Qd4+ 81.Kh2[/font] is not near enough for White to win.
• If [font color="darkred"]77...Qd5+?[/font] then:
• If [font color="darkred"]78.Kh2! Qe4 79.Qd2 Kh7 80.Qc3[/font] then:
• [font color="darkred"]80...Qf5 81.Qc4 Qf2+ 82.Kh3 Qg1 83.Qe4+![/font] prevents the threatened mate on h1 and allows White to make progress with the c-pawn or the capture the h-pawn in order to amke Black defend against two passers.
• [font color="burgundy"]80...Qc6 81.Qd3+ Kg7 82.Qf5 Kg8 83.Qxh5[/font] gives White a second passed pawn.

• If [font color="darkorange"]80...Kg7[/font] then White wins after [font color="darkorange"]81.Qc7+ Kh8 82.c6 Qe4 83.Kf2![/font] when both of White's pawns are covered and there is no repetition after 83...Qc2+ 84.Ke3 Qc5+ 85.Ke4 Qc4+ 86.Ke5 Qe2+ 87.Kf6 Qf3+ 88.Ke7 Qe4+ 89.Kd8.

[center]WHITE: David Howell[/center][center]Position after 77...Kg8h7[/center]

78.c5?

• This should cost White a half point.
• If [font color="red"]78.Kf3 Qf5+ 79.Ke2[/font] then:
• If [font color="red"]79...Qh3[/font] then White wins after [font color="red"]80.Qe4+ Kg7 81.Qe5+ Kf7 82.c5 Qg2+ 83.Kd3.[/font]
• If [font color="darkred"]79...Qe6+[/font] then White wins after [font color="darkred"]80.Kd2 Qh6+ 81.Kc2 Kg8 82.Kb3 Kf8 83.Qd8+.[/font]

78...Qe2+!

• Black should now draw the game.

79.Qf2

• This is the only move that escapes pertetual check.

79...Qe4+

• White wins after the exchange of Queens.

80.Kh2 Kg6 81.Qg2 Qe5?

• This is a tragic error for Black.
• If [font color="red"]81...Qd3![/font] then:
• [font color="red"]82.Qa2 Qe4 83.Qg8+ Kh6 84.Qf8+ Kg6 85.Qd6+ Kg7[/font] White can make no further progress without allowing Black to give perpetual check starting with ...Qc2+.
• [font color="darkred"]82.c6 Qc4 83.Qf3 Qa2+ 84.Kh3 Qe6+ 85.Kg2 Qa2+ etc.[/font] draws by repetition.

82.Qc2+!

• White wins.

81...Kf6 83.Qc4 Qb2+

• If [font color="red"]83...Ke7[/font] then White wins after [font color="red"]84.c6 Qb2+ 85.Kh3 Qa1 86.Kh4 Qf6+ 87.Kxh5.[/font]

84.Kh3 Qb1

• Black threatens mate on h1.

85.Qd4+ Kg5

• If [font color="red"]85...Kg6 86.Kg2 Qc2+ 87.Kf3 Qf5+ 88.Ke2 Qe6+[/font] then:

• If [font color="darkred"]93...Ke6 94.Kf4 h4[/font] then:
• [font color="darkred"]95.g4 Kxd6 96.g5[/font] is a draw; White loses if he tries to get in front of his pawn, but by taking time to capture the Black pawn, he foregoes ever getting in front of his own pawn.
• If [font color="darkorange"]95.gxh4 Kxd6[/font] then:
• If [font color="darkorange"]96.h5[/font] then after [font color="darkorange"]96...Ke6[/font] the Black King has just enough time to stop the pawn.

• [font color="darkpink"]89.Qe3?! Qa2+! 90.Kf3 Qf7+ 91.Kg2 Qd5+ 92.Kh2 Qf5[/font] still gives White a much better game, but the win is now in doubt; Black must not exchange Queens.

86.Qg7+ 1-0

• If 86...Qg6, then White has an elementary win after the exchange of Queens. Black's only other legal move is 86...Kf5, after which White plays the skewer 87.Qh7+, winning Black's Queen.
• Sri Negi resigns.[/li[
