News & Notes 9
By ICCF GM Yoav Dothan

I will be happy to get comments or analyzed games – you can e-mail them directly to me.

                    

This article is very different: it is dedicated to one game only, but the amount of work spent on this game is probably hundreds of hours.  Both players played very well.

Especially interesting to computer fans is the unbalanced position arising after Black's 22nd move.  The computer gives wrong assessments, and offers moves that are not the best.  Please have a look!

[Editor's Note: Due to the amazingly large amount of material, this article is being presented in alternate formats.  Please choose between Word (41 pages, 32,608 words !), ChessBase, or pgn.  But first, the game itself, without annotation and just one diagram:

Lautier: 'This interesting move has never really caught on but it deserves more consideration in my opinion. Black radically solves the problem of the e4-push and keeps the c3-₯ hemmed in for a while. The flip side is that you have to live up with your weaknesses on e5 and e6, but it's not such a bad version of the Dutch Stonewall, is it ?'

(18...Bb5? A silly mistake. The threat certainly proved stronger than its execution here, as I hurried to prepare for a3 before the move was made.
