00:00It's pinned, so that's why bishop will be eliminated and the promotion is inevitable.
00:05So, simple, but very effective.
00:07Bishop e4 and white is lost.
00:18And now it's time for test, for challenge.
00:23This time, it comes from my own game.
00:25The game I played against Vasily Ivanchuk, another Linares tournament.
00:31Not my best Linares, actually Karpov's best Linares, 1994.
00:36But I played a few nice games, and this is one of them.
00:39Look at this complicated, crazy position.
00:42It was a really crazy opening.
00:44Ivanchuk came up with a novelty in the Phoenix variation.
00:47But I managed to find sort of a good antidote.
00:51And Ivanchuk's attack on H-File was not as effective as my build-up against his king.
01:04But still, everything looks quite uncertain.
01:07And it's very important for white to find the right move to make sure that the game is turned in its favor.
01:18Can you find it?
01:19Pause.
01:22Try.
01:34As we are looking at the overload,
01:39it's quite natural that this move should play for the theme.
01:49But it combines many other themes
01:51that we already learned before.
01:55Rook E8.
01:56Rook E8.
02:03Rook E9.
02:03Rook E9.
02:04Rook E9.
02:05Hit.
02:05Be8'9.
02:06Have a different approach you can see.
02:07Reshirts.
02:07Be8'9.
02:08Rook E8.
02:10Rook E9.
02:111.
