Even so, the game move of 11.Qa5 isn't bad, but I believe that then 12.Nxc3 (instead of 12.Nd7) would have been both the most logical and the superior follow-up. He could have considered the trustworthy 11.Nd7, which was played by Karjakin a decade or so ago. In this case, I think that Black mixed his lines up. In this version of the Ragozin, there have been quite a few recent games and the theory has moved on since Matthieu Cornette gave it a serious examination a couple of years ago in The Complete Ragozin (Chess Evolution 2017). The encounter Krysa, L - Tristan, L was decided by Black blundering the exchange, but he already had somewhat the worse of the struggle by then. I would reckon that you'd get away with it against an unprepared player or in a rapid game, but don't try it in e-mail chess! The main move 8.Qc2 causes a few problems for the second player, as the tempting pawn sacrifice variation (see the notes) doesn't quite work (that is when there is an engine handy!). However, from the diagram position all is not so rosy for Black. He soon followed up with a nice novelty on move eleven ( 11.Ng4!) and quickly obtained the better of equality with his bishops. In the opening, Yu Yangyi opted for 8.Qd3 after which I like Rapport's 8.Bh5 when the bishop heads for g6 to press down the b1-h7 diagonal. It was a fine display by the Hungarian GM in Yu Yangyi - Rapport, R as he was able to keep control and ultimately convert his superior rook endgame. Instead, in the diagram position, 6.Bxf3 7.gxf3 Qxd4 is critical and (in my opinion) perfectly playable if you don't mind tricky complications.Īs to the game, Black soon got the better of equality and had any chances going in the rook endgame, but Radovanovic held firm. Should Black snatch the pawn or not? Miladinovic decided not to, but after 6.e6 7.Bb5 I think that White should be a shade better (see the note to move eleven). In Radovanovic, M - Miladinovic, I White sacrificed his d-pawn in the opening: Download PGN of October ’19 1 d4 d5 2 c4 gamesĬhigorin Defence 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nf3 dxc4 5.e4 Bg4
