Vasily lvanchuk

lvanchuk rocketed sky-high on the lists this year, and the

Ukrainian keeps flooding us with stunning novelties. Jose

Vilela recounts how lvanchuk won the Carlos Torre

Memorial by firing off the speculative 4 .. . �c5!? in the

Steinitz Petroff against Lazaro Bruzon (page 103),

netting the required point after a sharp game. And what's

lvanchuk's thing with the black queen? Read Sosonko's

Corner on page 25!

Shakhriyar Mamedyarov

The tough Azerbaijani took sweet revenge for an unlucky defeat

against Magnus Carlsen in Wijk aan Zee by outpreparing the

young Norwegian in a rare Queen's Indian line in the first

Grand Prix in Baku. He took fourth place, just behind

Gashimov, Wang Yue and ... Carlsen! Mamedyarov himself

analyses this high-level game with its attractive finish in Paul

Boersma's Survey on page 181.

Arkady Naiditsch

Trouble for Black in the Petroff. In Dortmund, the German

grandmaster and his second Dusko Pavasovic had 'big

problems to find something interesting' before Naiditsch's

game with Kramnik- but Pavasovic's discovery 19.�d2!

turned out to be a killer. Kramnik could not solve the huge

problems over the board and the former World Champion

suffered a painful defeat. On page 113, Konstantin Landa

explains how good 19.�d2 really is.

Karen Asrian

The chess world was shocked by popular Armenian

Karen Asrian's untimely death this year. The strong rapid

tournament in Yerevan was renamed in his honour, and

we pay the 28-year-old Olympic Gold Medal winner

tribute with a treatise by Lukacs and Hazai on Asrian's

favourite pawn sac 3 ... c5 in the Advance Caro-Kann

on page 88. This paradoxical move leads to lively play in

which White should be on his guard!
