is much that could be said about the opening moves up to this point, but for
that I will direct you to your own pile of books, or your own computer. 
Suffice to say we have arrived at one of the older lines, with Korchnoi-Karpov
World Championship Game #23, Baggio City 1978 being perhaps the important stem
game.  Piket-Ivanchuk, Amber Rapid, Monte Carlo 1997 being one of the more
recent important games theoretically.    As is so often the case, I had
studied and prepared the line just enough to get myself into trouble, but not
enough to get it right.  I knew 13. ...Bg4 was an alternative to Karpov's
original 13. ...d4, and it looked reasonable, but I hadn't really worked it
out to the end.    I don't know, I can only judge by the very congenial
post-mortem between Illya and myself.  Illya gave the sense that 13. ...Bg4
was a surprise to him, and a pleasant one.    In fact 13. ...Bg4 is playable 
(unless the readers can improve on the lines given below) and of course it has
been seen before in top level games.  It was only after the game, back in my
room, with my computer, that I pieced it together.   (Instead of having it
worked out before the game.  Students of chess: please do as I say, not as I
do.)    In any event, the position is interesting and complicated.} Bg4 (13...
d4) 14. f3 {Weakens the e3 pawn, and the b6-g1 diagonal.  Or does it?  That is
the question raised by 13. ...Bg4.  In any case, Black must immediately deal
with the hanging pawn on d5 as well as the hanging bishop on g4.} dxc4 {I want
to show the next moves as played, then go back and look at the alternatives.} (
14... Be6) 15. Bxc4 Bh5 {Diagram [#] If you look in Chessbase, you will find
six games in which White played one of three moves:  16.Qe2, 16.Qf2, or 16.O-O.
All long ago, the last in 1996.  In all cases Black obtained counterplay with
a rapid ...e4.    As I said before, judging by the post-mortem I don't believe
Illya was burdened by any of this pre-history.  Looking at the position for
the first time, he quickly played:} (15... Be6 16. Bxe6 (16. Na4) 16... fxe6)
16. e4 $1 {After the game Illya asked me, you thought for a long time here. 
What were you thinking about?  I told him, I was thinking about how I had
already messed up the game, and how I had to regroup, and put up a fight. 
Sometimes, that is a good use of time.    As far as I can tell, this simple
move 16.e4 completely refutes Black's play, at least with Black's bishop on h5.
It's not that White has an easy win: as you will see in the game, I was indeed
able to put up a fight.  However, White is clearly better, with the
unpreventable plan of Bxf6, and Nd5 planting a fabulous N in the middle of the
board.  The b6-g1 diagonal turns out to mean nothing.  And, most importantly,
Black's bishop on h4 is locked completely out of the game, at least until
Black is able to complete a cumbersome and lengthy regrouping with ...f6.    
And the move 16.e4 has never been played before this game, at least according
to my database! A novelty!  I will bet you a nickel, however, that
knowledgeble players, such as Kamsky and Short (you will see how their game
went shortly) must have seen 16.e4 at least by 1991 (when they played),
because they avoided this line.  But nobody actually played it, so it is not
in Chessbase.  (Inevitably, someone will write in with some obscure game, or
article from long ago, with 16.e4...)  Most importantly, nobody told me!   
Before proceeding with the actual game, let's go back a move or two and look
at Black's alternatives.  These involve putting the bishop on e6 instead of h5.
After the game I suggested to Illya the radical looking line: 14. ...dxc4 15.
Bxc4 Be6!  Black gets doubled isolated pawns, but otherwise things are working
for him.  White's e3 is indeed somewhat weak, and the b6-g1 does mean
something.    Kamsky-Short from 1991 continued 16.Bxe6 fxe6, and Short even
managed eventually to win the game, one of many wonderful games by Short on
the  Black side of the Queen's Gambit Declined.    In Gulko-Yusupov 1990 Gulko
played 16.Na4, and it may be that this gives White the advantage.    Back one
more move: instead of 14. ...dxc4, in Piket-Ivanchuk, Amber Rapid 1997 (as
well as in a number of earlier games) 14. ...Be6 was played, without taking
first on c4.  Ivanchuk was successful in that game, but it is all very
complicated.  If you want to play 13. ...Bg4, you will have to double check
these lines.} (16. Qe2) (16. Qf2) (16. O-O) 16... Rfd8 17. Bxf6 Rxd1+ {I
rejected 17. ...Qe3+ because of 18.Qe2 and I disliked the position for Black
after the trade of queens.  Nyzhnyk however was planning 18.Kf1! Bxf6 19.Nd5
Qh6 20.g4 Bg6, and Black is all messed up.  If nothing else 21.Nxf6+ truly
kills the bishop on g6, though 21.h4 is also sweet.} (17... Qe3+ 18. Qe2 (18.

20. Kf2 {Interesting choice by Illya, rather than the routine 20.O-O.  He
wants to keep the R on h1, at least for awhile, and keep possibilities of
pushing his g and h pawns.} (20. O-O) 20... Be7 21. h4 h6 22. g3 {I was
optimistically remembering the Slav line from Topalov-Kramnik, where Kramnik
managed to get his similarly stuck B back in the game with ...f6 (the 6th
Match Game 2006).  Not so similar actually, but that's how the mind works,
seizing on patterns and ideas.    So I want to get ...f6 in, after which my
white-squared bishop starts looking like a real piece.  But a big question
here, and a difficult one: 22. ...Kf8 as in the game, or 22. ...Kh8?   22. ...
Kf8 brings the king closer to the center for the endgame, and it might even
play a defensive role guarding squares e7 and f7.  However, Black's king would
have been safer and more "castled" in the corner.   With Black's king on h8
White has some ideas of pushing his g an h pawns, but this doesn't seem
particularly threatening.  As the game proceeded I became more and more
convinced I had made the wrong decision.  My king ended up not safe on f8. 
Too many pieces still on the board.} Kf8 (22... Kh8) 23. Qe2 {White has
various plans, and different squares for his pieces, to try to make something
concrete out of his positional advantage.  And Black can also defend variously,
in the next few moves. Let's see how it went.} f6 24. Rd1 Rb8 25. Kg2 Qc8 26.

going to subject this position to detailed analysis -- we would be here all
day.  Both during and after the game Illya and I felt this to be the only try.
White is on the verge of breaking through, but there are some tactical tricks
which Nyzhnyk missed.} 31. Nxc5 $2 {31.Rc3, 31.Rc2, or 31.Qd3:  maintaining

exchange, and White's position starts to look rather critical, as in lost.  I
had plenty of time on my clock, the time control being at move 40. So my
strong opponent has given me a real chance here.   This last phase of the game,
from here to the end, is one of the times when I didn't play well enough to
win the tournament.  I couldn't quite put him away.  It is impossible not to
believe that Black is not winning here.  But, even now, I don't find anything
simple.  White can still resist.} 34. Qb4 Nxc5 35. Qxc5+ Kg8 36. Bc4 {Diagram

even a pawn for the exchange.  If 39.Nxf6? Qc3 kills.  He can try 39.Qxa7, but
after 39. ...Be6 it is White's king that will come under attack by Black's
queen and rook.  White will have to bring his queen back to defend, and the a
pawn will eventually fall.  Then, with four against four on the kingside,
White a whole exchange down -- but especially with White's king more exposed
than Black's, and White forced to the defensive -- this can only be winning
for Black in the long run.    So White should play 39.Qd6!, keeping the threat
of Nxf6 alive and staying as active as possible.  Despite being the full
exchange down, White can continue to resist.  The Great Houdini continues 39. .
..Rd8 40.Qe7 Qb8 41.Bb5.  White has about as fantastic a position as one can
have with the full exchange down.  Is this a win for Black, or a draw?  I
don't know.} (36... Qxb2+ 37. Kh3 Bd7+ 38. g4 Kh8 39. Nxf6 (39. Qxa7 Be6) (39.

which also helps block the activity of Black's rook.  Comparing notes after
the game, the instinctual feel of both players was that this should still be
lost for White.  However, these sort of endgames, dangling between a loss and
a draw, can be remarkably difficult.  My sense was (and remains) that Black
needs to get in ...h5, to give his king some room, and then play to trade B
for N at a moment when Black's rook and queen are right.  If White takes back
on d5 with a pawn, as happened in the game, Black needs to be ready to block
