The Indian Resists

And yes, the Indian walked into Topalov’s home preparation which happens frequently in tournaments. The only problem is how to react to this type of move.

18 - Nb4! (! = good move) [EXPERT : The precise move on 18...Nc7 ?! is 19.Qg6+ Kg8 (19...Kf8? 20.Nf5 Nce8 21.Nxg7!! Nxg7 22. Rxf6+ Kg8 23.Qf7+ Kh7 24. Rxh6 mate) 20.Nf5 Bf8 21 .Bc4 b5 22.Ne7+ Bxe7 23.Rxe7 Qxe7 (if 23...Qf8 24.Rxc7 bxc4 25.Re1 still with an attack...) 24.d6+ bxc4 25.dxe7 always attacking] 19.Bxb4 cxb4 20.Bc4

The Indian resists…
