Title: The Adams Attack, Like Bobby Fischer! - Carlsen vs Ganguly | Fide Chess.com Grand Swiss 2019 Opening: Sicilian Najdorf Hello Chess Friends and Welcome to the Channel. Today is round 5 of the Chess.com Grand Swiss 2019. After four rounds there are four leaders. Caruana and Wang Hao that yesterday drew their game, Maghsoodloo and McShane. Magnus Carlsen, the usual suspect is a bit behind. He drew three games and just won one. Today, with the white pieces he needs a victory. We are going to watch his game against the Indian grandmaster Ganguly. Let's get started. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 {the Najdorf} 6. h3 { is the Adam Attack. The name is from the American master Weaver Adams that played the line in 1940. 20 years later Bobby Fischer used the line winning many important games, also against Najdorf himself. Carlsen already used the Adam Attack many times with great success. Because h3 is not a forcing move, many are the good moves that Black can play} e5 7. Nb3 {is less commong than Knight back to e2. The point of Ne2 is that after advancing g4, the Knight can jump to g3} Be7 {the natural development} 8. g4 h6 9. Be3 Nbd7 {the alternative is to develop the Bishop to e6 first} 10. a4 {controls b5 so Black can't push the b-pawn, and to develop the light square bishop in fianchetto he must play b6} b6 11. f3 {in case of Bb7} Qc7 12. h4 {Bb7 is still among the best moves. but Ganguly changed his mind. Here comes} Nf8 {with this novelty, the game is now original} 13. Rg1 {even more pressure on the g-file} Be6 { is a change of plan} 14. g5 hxg5 15. hxg5 N6d7 {and} 16. Nd5 {capturing the Knight is not a good idea. White will recapture with the Queen} Qc6 (16... Bxd5 17. Qxd5 {with advantage}) 17. Qd2 Ng6 18. a5 b5 19. O-O-O Rc8 {more pressure to the c-file} 20. Kb1 Nc5 21. Be2 {Carlsen is not afraid of Nxb3} Bd8 { Carlsen finally captures on c5} 22. Nxc5 dxc5 23. f4 exf4 24. Bxf4 Be7 { This is a bit passive. Probably c4 is the best idea. Let's watch what happens with Rh4} (24... Rh4 25. Bg3 Rxe4 26. Nb6 {and white wins the exchange} Bxb6 ( 26... Rd4 27. Qe3 Re4 28. Qf2 {and again one of the two rooks is lost}) 27. Bf3 {going back even Rd4 doesn't work}) 25. Nxe7 {the bishop pair is gone} Kxe7 26. Bd6+ Ke8 27. Qc3 Rh7 28. Bg3 b4 29. Qd3 {controlling d8} c4 30. Qd6 {asking for a queen's exchange. But exchanging the queens on d6 will lose one pawn} Qxe4 {Black is a pawn up but this is a mistake. b3 was much better} 31. Rd4 { Rd1 is even stronger, anyway THe bishop is safe. The Queen can't capture} Qb7 ( 31... Qxe2 32. Re1 {and the queen is lost because if it moves away it's checkmate}) 32. Qb6 Qa8 33. Rgd1 Rh1 34. Be1 {great move. Now it's difficult for both players to find the perfect moves. Ganguly continues with a logical move} Ne5 {at least improving the position of the knight} 35. Bxb4 Rxd1+ 36. Rxd1 Qc6 {2 minutes for Ganguly, 14 for Carlsen. Black tries to exchange the queens but, in a desperate position, it was better to try to exchange the rooks with Rd8} 37. Qe3 Qb5 38. Bc3 Rc5 39. b4 {the Knight is lost. Black resign} Nd3 {doesn't solve any problem} 40. cxd3 Rd5 41. dxc4 {and Black resigns. Black is forced to exchange the rooks} Rxd1+ 42. Bxd1 Qxc4 {but Carlsen is a piece up.} 1-0 Carlsen is back guys, and everything can happen, especially in a tournament so long like the Grand Swiss.
