GM M. Gurevich IU.S.S.R.I GM Tal (U.S.S.R.). Men's Interzonal, Manila 1990: 1 c4 e6 2 d4 dB 3 Nc3 cB The Tarrasch Defense to the Queen's Gambit. 4 cxd6 xd5 5 Nf3 NcB 6 g3 Nf6 7 Bg2 B7 8 0-0 0-0 9 BgB cxd4 Black accepts the isolani, the crux of Tarrasch's idea. 10 Nxd4 h6 11 Ba3 Re8 12 Rcl BfB 13 Qa4 NaS 14 Rcdl Making room for 14 Nc4 15 Del Bd7 IB Qb3 Bc6 16 Nxc6l White wants the Bishop pair and pressure against the backward c-pawn, and he may renew his pressure on d5 by e2-e4.

bxc6 17 Bd4 Rb8 18 Qc2 Qa5 19 QfBI Expecting 19 Ned7 20 e4 g6 21 Qf4, when White benefits from the opening of the center. Rxb2l7 Trappy. If 20 Bxe5. Black regains the piece with 20 d4. 20 NxdBI Rxe2 21 Nxf6 gxfB 22 Be4 Bg7 After 22 Rxe4l? 25 Qxe4 Qxa2.

Black has some compensation for tho exchange. Neither 26 14 Ng4 nor 26 Ra 1 Qc4 makes progress, but 26 QI5 keeps control 23 Qh7 Kf8 24 Rcl Preparing 25 Bc5. 16 2B Bxc6 White strives lor clarity. The messy 25 Bc5 Qxc5 26 Rxc5 fxe4 gives Tal swindling chances. Re7 26 BbBI The new threat is 27 Rc8.

Nf3 Now 26 Qxb5 27 Rc8 Re8 28 Bc5 Qxc5 won't save Black. For example, 29 Rxc5 Nf3 30 Kg2 Nd2 31 Rid Bd4 32 Rxl5 wins easily for White. 27 Kg2 Nxd4 28 Rc8 Re8 29 Bxe8 Qd5 30 Kh3 RxeB 31 Rxe8 Kxe8 32 Qxg7 Tho extra exchange is decisive.

Hollywood, CA 90069 (213) 289 0345 GM Smagin (U.S.S.R.) GM Sahov-fch (Yugoslavia). Biel 1990: 1 e4 Nc6 The Nimzovich Defense 2 d4 d5 3 e5 BIB 4 c3 6 The pawn structure resembles a French Defense, and Black's bad QB has found a useful diagonal. However, Black's ON obstructs his c-pawn, inhibiting the standard countermeasure of c7-c5xd4. 6 Nd2 f6 6 f4 fxs5 7 fxeS Nh6 8 Ndf3 Nf7 9 Ne2 B7 10 Ng3 White gets only a small edge from 10 Bg6 1 1 h4 h6 12 h5 Bh7 13 Bd3 0-0 1 1 Bd3 Ng5? 12 NxgBII The rarest sacrifice a speculative offer of the Queen. Bxdl 13 Nxe6 Qb8 If 13 Bg4 14 Nxd8 or 13 Qd7 14 Bf5, White emerges with an extra pawn.

14 Nxg7 Kd8 Despite his huge material advantage, Black appears helpless after 14 Kf7 15 Bh6 Bg4 16 0-0 Kg8 17 Rf4 Bd7 18 Rafl. White may follow with 19 N7I5 and 20 Rg4. or 19 N7h5 and Rf4-f7-g7. ISKxdl Ordinarily, a Queen is stronger than two pieces and two pawns. In this position, though.

Black's Queen and Rooks are inactive, and his King is exposed. Hoping for Kd8-c8-b7. 16 NeB Kc8 Ineffective, but 16 17Bf5and 16 Ke8 17 Nf5 look good for White, too. 17 NfS BfB Black spots danger after 17 Kb7 18 Nxe7 Nxe7 19 Then 19. 19.

GM Christiansen GM Alburt Ml, U.S. Championship, Jacksonville 1990: 1 e4 Somewhat unusual for Christiansen. Obviously ho wanted to face Alburt's beloved Atekhmo's Defense. Nf6 2 eB NdB 3 d4 d6 4 Nf3 g6 Alburt is the only leading GM who likes Black's prospects in this opening. 6 Bc4 Nb6 6 Bb3 Bg7 7 a4 dxeS In the past, Alburt has suffered with 7 a5 8 Ng5 and 7 d5 8 a5 Nc4 9 Nbd2.

8 aS Also reasonable is 8 Nxe5 0-0 9 a5. N6d7 Provoking a sac, as 8 Nd5 9 dxo5 clearly favors White. 9 Bxf7 Kxf7 10 Ng5 Kg8 11 Ne6 Both forced and forcing. Neither 11 dxe5? c6 12 Nxe6 Qe7 13 Nxc7 Qxo5 nor 11 QI3? NI6! 12 dxe5 Bg4 13 Qb3 Nd5 14 Qxb7 Nb4! 15 Bd2 threatening 16 Rb8, works for White. Qe8 12 Nxc7 Qd8 13 Nxa8 White can draw with 13 Ne6 QeB 14 Nc7.

exd4 14 c3l White has won tho exchange, but his Knight at a8 is in dangor. Therefore Christiansen stirs up trouble in the center to distract Black from winning the Knight. NcB 16 cxd4 Bxd4 16 0-07 Critical is 16 Nc7l. extricating the Knight. eB 17 Be3 Nba6 Now White's Knight is doomed, and Black has the advantage.

18 Nc3 BfB 19 Rc1 Kg7 Intending 20 Bxe3 21 fxe3 Qxdl 22 Rfxdl Rxa8. Much weaker is 19 Qxa8? 20 Bxd4 exd4 21 Qxd4, when Black Elena Donaldson won the 1990 U.S. Women's Championship, which ended Tuesday in Spartanburg, S.C., with a convincing score of 7V4-1W. In her first try for the U.S. title, the former Soviet star who defected in 1988 began with six straight wins.

Then she had to return to her home in Seattle, so she arranged to play her remaining three games in one day, and drew them all to clinch first prize. Esther Epstein of Massachusetts finished second with Epstein, who emigrated from the Soviet Union with her husband IM Alexander Ivanov in 1988, also made her first appearance in the U.S. Women's Championship.
