Matthias Wahls

Series Editor: Grandmaster Murray Chandler

Many club players would love to experiment with difficult opening systems, but simply lack the time and resources to delve through dozens of reference works. This Line for White and Line for Black opening series aims to change that by covering a variation f rom only one sides' point of view. Extraneous material is further eliminated by a strong player, in this case FM Matthias Wahls, recommending an exact alternative at each major juncture. The result is a concise booklet, similar to the files some Grandmasters maintain for their own private use. With the minimum of home study, it is possible to learn an entire system that can be used at the club that same evening — we hope with success!

Matthias Wahls is a very fast improving West German player who plays for Hamburg in the Bundesliga. He recently obtained Grandmaster norms at both Budapest and Berlin.

A line for White

The Anti ECO code B4

1 e4 cS 2 £ j f 3 e6 3 d4 cd 4 £\d4 £>c6 5 £>b5 d6 6 £ f 4 !

The Taimanov se t -up in the Sicilian has always been a very popular line for black. Many eminent grandmasters belong to its following, with Mark Taimanov, Ulf Andersson, Gary Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov perhaps the most well-known exponents. Black's four th move leaves white with two principal options; 5 and S the la t ter of which is the subject of this treatise. Af te r 5 black has the choice either to transpose to the Sicilian Four Knights Variation by 5 ... i^fb or to play the t rue Taimanov move 5 ... d6.

Taimanov NIC code Si39.2

In today's tournament practise, one almost exclusively meets 6 c4 as the response to 5 ... d6, although it appears to me tha t this line does not succeed in preventing black from maintaining the balance. The alternative 6 j2.f4, af ter which we reach our starting position, has experienced much less at tention. My task is t o prove tha t the neglect of 6 ,Q.f4 is by no means justified, or, t o put it into bolder words, that 6 ,Qf4 guarantees at least a slight opening advantage. The bishop move directly evokes a Pelikan-type of position, which is positionally demanding and provides both players with tactical ideas. This fact alone means the whole line is to be recommended for players who feel unhappy with the long-winded positional manoeuvring required by the hedgehog positions arising af ter 6 c4. For some people there might be still another kind of

3 -

attraction hidden in this variation: it was chosen, elaborated and popularised by Robert James Fischer. Fischer, however, wasn't the f i rs t who opted for this line, as the following miniature powerfully proves:

In this position black has the choice of three approximately equivalent continuations:

A) 7 ... a6 B) 7 ... £>f6 C) 7 ... Qe6

A) 7 ... a6

1 e4 c5 2 £ f 3 e6 3 d4 cd 4 £ d 4 S d6 6 &f4 eS

6 ... <£)e5 leads to a clear disadvantage for black af te r the strong answer 7 £)la3! e.g. 7 ... a6 8 £e5 de 9 # d 8

Before developing any piece black chases away white's knight, thus talking the

4 -

pressure off the d-pawn. This action is on no account unmotivated, as it is this pressure that plays an important part in section B3. The disadvantage, however, is evident - white's knight gets driven to its favoured square d5.

8 £)5c3 £>f6 9 jjc4

At this point white has a wide range of moves available. 9 4>3, 9 j£g5, 9 £e2 and 9 4^d2 have all been tes ted , but the tex t move is the only possibility to f ight successfully for the advantage.

9 ... &e7

9 ... <£\a5?! is an interesting at tempt , since a f te r 10 J2.b3?! Q.e6, equality is within reach e.g. 11 <£^5 £\d5 12 £ d 5 <£c4-. Fortunately 10 j2.e2 Qe6 11

4jd5 leaves the knight rather awkwardly placed on the rim. In Wahls - Cladoras, Bundesliga 1988, there followed 9 ... Qe6 10 £,dS J2.d5 and now 11 J2d5 would have been very satisfactory for white e.g. 11 ... £>d5 12 ^ d 5 Qe7 [12 ... £ b 4 13 $ b 3 d5 14 a3 d4 15 jld2 £ c 6 16 $ b 7 +-] 13 £ c 3 ± , 11 ... £e7 12 £ c 3 ± , 11 ... £ b 4 ? ! 12 Qb3\ £>e4 13 c3 <^c6 14

B) 7 ... £>f6

With this natural developing move, black introduces the main line of the whole system.

8

By moving this piece three times in a row, white obtains a position which strongly resembles the main line of the Pelikan variation, which is brought about by the moves 1 e4 c5 2 £>f3 £jc6 3 d4 cd 4 £)d4 <£f6 5 <£c3 eS 6 £ d b S d6 7 2&S

The positions dif fer in so far as the fact tha t white is a tempo down in our line, which is actually no disadvantage at all. The explanation fo r this curiosity is tha t the c3 square remains vacant for the retreating knight, so t h a t white is able to avoid i ts misplacement on a3. Black now has three choices, each giving the game a dist inct character.

Although this is the normal move in the Pelikan posi t ion, it t u r n s out t o be disadvantageous for black in this line. (8 ... £e7? 9 £ f 6 gf is clearly be t t e r fo r white, since the dark-squared bishop is poorly placed on e7)

This diagram shows the crucial position. Theory recommends the pawn sacrifice 12 £)lc3 13 £jc3, and estimates white's chances as superior. This assessment is, in my opinion, re fu ted by the game Wedberg - Sjöberg, Stockholm 1985/86 which continued 13 ... b6! 14 000

Qb7 15 f4 f6 (15 ... £ c 6 ) 16 fe fe 17 £e2!? £g2 18 Hbgl £ h 3 19 <^e4 and now 19 ... g6 20 Jlb5 &c7 21 Hd3 would have led to an unclear position. Instead of 12 <£ l̂c3, white should play t o recover the los t material, thus securing some advantage.

15 ... ®c6 is an interesting alternative, since 16 £)d4 $?d7! leaves white with nothing be t t e r than 17 <£)db5 [17 £b5?? &c7 and the hero on a7 perishes] . 16 .Qd4, however, promises some advantage due t o black's demolished pawn s t ruc ture and vulnerable king.

16 &d4

This is the key move of the variation. With the aid of a pawn sacrifice, white des t roys black's imposing pawn centre .

14 ... ef

The posit ion in the above diagram is favourable for white, as black has t o worry about the safe ty of the king and pawns. Consequently 8 ... 1^a5 does no t equalise.

B3) 8 ... Qe6

unable to achieve ful l equality.

This is the mos t cunning way t o handle the posit ion. By launching the knight towards c4, white creates s t rong pressure against the black d-pawn. 9 £)lc3 a6 10 Qf6 gf 11 4 > 3 d5! leads to a very unclear posi t ion as in the famous game Fischer-Petrosian, Buenos Aires 1971.

This move is a

recommendation of Gary

In his analysis Kasparov now gives the unmotivated move 16 a3? which provides black with the opportunity to obtain great activity by 16 ... g6 17 £ d 5 £ d 5 18 ed Qe7 19 4 > 4 f5 etc. For this reason 16 a3? should be replaced by 16 £jf5 which yields white some advantage: a) 16 ... &f5? 17 ef Hac8 18 0 0 0 + -b) 16 ... g6? 17 £ d 4 ed 18 4>2+-c) 16 ... £>f5? 17 ef e4 [17 ... ild7 18 Jle4+-, 17 ... b4 18 £}e4+-] 18 He4 [18 4 > 4 ?
