10.a3 [EXPERT : we know as well the following 10.d5 Bxc3 11.dxe6 Ne5 12.exf7+ Kh8 13.bxc3 Bg4 14.e4 Nh5 15.Bd5 Bxf3 16.gxf3 Ng6 17.Khl Nhf4 18.Bxf4 Nxf4 19.Qdl Nxd5 20.Qxd5 Qxd5 21.exd5 Rxf7 22.Kg2 Raf8 23.Radl which finished in a draw in the game Berkes against Palac (Rabac, Croatia 2003)]
10...cxd4 11.Nb5 (if white takes the bishop on b4, black replies by taking the knight on c3. The b2 pawn takes on c3 but after having put the black bishop on b7, where it is placed on the long diagonal, black will have no worries as he controls the centre and is well developed.)
11... Be7 12.Nbxd4 Bb7 13.b4 a5?! [Joel Lautier had played the most reasonable move 13...a6 against the Russian Onischuk and had held his position easily in Moscow, 2002. The disadvantage of the move a5 is that after… 14.b5 (...white controls the square c6 for future penetration) 14... Qc7 15.Bb2 Rac8 16.Rac1 Qb8 17.Rfdl Bd6 18.h3 Rfe8
19.Ba2?! [19.Bd3! both camps have finished their development but white makes a mistake by placing his bishop on the wrong diagonal. On a2, the bishop isn’t doing a lot.
19...Bc5 20.Bbl Qa8 21.Nc6...white has understood that the bishop on a2 was misplaced but it is not the end of the world. All the same, white sacrifices a pawn to open up the position…
How will the opponent react???
