16e3f4 17 exf4 gxf4 18 Ne2 fxg3 Much safer is 18 Ba6or18 Bc5 19hxg3Bc520 f4 White straightens his pawns and plans to consolidate with Bg2-f3. Kg1-g2, and Re1-h1. Black must go for broke. Ba6 21 b3 Nxg3l7 22 Nxg3 Rxf4 23 Re2 Qf7 24 b4l White reacts before Black increases the pressure with Ra8-f8. Rxc47l Certainly not 24 as 25 b5! oxb5 26 cxd5 destroys Black's center.

And 24 Bxf2 25 Rxf2 Rxf2 26 Qxf2 Qxf2 27 Kxf2 Bxc4 28 Bh3 Kf7 29 Nh5 Bxa2 30 Nf4 looks promising for White. But 24 Bxb4 25 Nd3 Rxc4! 26 Nxb4 Rxc2 27 Rxc2 Bb5 wins White's Queen under better conditions than in the game. Note that 24 Bxb4 25 Nd3 26 Nxc5 bxc5 27 cxd5! and 25 Bxc4? 26 Nxf4 Qxf4 27 Qg6 Kh8 28 Re4! dxe4 29 Bxe4 should win for White. 2B bxcBI Rxc2 26 Rxc2 Qg6? Losing. Black stays alive with 26 Qf4! 27 Ne2 (else 27 Qxe5) Bxe2 (awkward is 27 28 Nd4) 28 Rxe2 bxc5.

27 Rc3 bxcB 28 Nge4t White's pieces swarm toward Black's King. dxe4 29 Nxe4 Kh8 30 Nf6 Rb8 31 Rd7 Threatening 32 Rg3! Qxg3 33 Rh7 mate. Bfll? A clever swindle, hoping for 32 Kxf 1 Rb1 33 Kf2 Rb2 34 Kel! RblI 35 Kf2 Rb2. drawing. 32 Rg3l Bd3 33 R7xd3 Still going for mate.

Polaczek (Belgium), American Open, Los Angeles 1990: 1 e4 Nf6 2 eS NdS 3 d4 d6 4 c4 Nb6 f4 The Four Pawns Attack, White's sharpest weapon against Alekhine's Defense. g6 An unusual move with a poor reputation. 6 Nc3 Bg7 7 Qf3 New. Theory says 7 Be3 and 7 Nf3 favor White.

No6 8 Be3 hB7l Correct is 8 dxe5 9 dxe5 Be6! 10 c5 (or 10 b3 (6 1 1 c5 Nd7) Nc4 1 1 Rd1 QcB, with counterplay. 9 h3 BfB7l 10 g4l White sees that 10 hxg4 1 1 hxg4 Rxhl 12Qxh1 Bxg4 allows 13Qh7.Then 13 Kf8 14 f5! threatens 15 Bh6 Bxh6 16 Qh8 mate, and 13 Bf8 14 d5 Nb4 15 e6 fxe6 1 6 Qxg6 Kd7 1 7 Qxg4 gives White a winning attack. dxeS 1 1 gxfB Declining the offer by 1 1 hxg4 12 hxg4 Rxh1 13 Qxhl Bxg4 14 Qh7 Bf8 15 Ne4 Qc8 doesn't worry Black. exd4 12 0-0-0 Nd7 After 12... gxf5 13 Bf2, Black's pawns do not compensate for White's extra piece.

Also 12 13 Bd2! dxc3 14 Bxc3 favors White. For example, 14 15 fxg6 fxg6 16 c5l, anticipating 16 Na4 17Bxg7 Kxg7 19Qc3or 16 Bxc3 17 Qxc3 Nd7 18 Bc4 Kh7 19 Be6 Ncb8 20 Nf3, crushes Black. 13 fxg6 dxc3 If 13 fxg6, White can win material with 14 Ne4 dxe3 15 Nc5 Nd4 16 Rxd4 Bxd4 17 Ne6 or play for more with 14 Qe4 Rh6 114 Kf7 15 Nf3l 15 Qe6 dxc3 16 Qf8 Bf8 17 Bd3. 14 gxf7 Kf8 Black King cannot escape the crossfire. After 14 Kxf 7, White breaks through with 15 Qd5 Ke8 16 Be2 cxb2 17 Kbl Nf6 18 Qg5 Qc8 19 Qxg7.

15 Ne2 cxb2 16 Kb1 QcB 17 Rg1 NcB Threatening 18 Qf5. The sturdier 17 Nf6 18 f5 Kxf7 still loses, to 19 Nf4! Qxf5 (or 19 NeS 20 Qg3 Rg8 21 Ne6) 20 Bd3 Qc8 21 Qg3 Rg8 22 Qg6 KI8 23 Bf5. 18 RdBI Na4 19 RdgB77 Spoiling a brilliant attack. Of course. 19 Qg2 Rh7 20 Qg6 forces resignation.

Rh777 Black turns the tables with 19 Qe6! 20 Rd5 Qxf7. The tries 20 Qf5, 20 f5? Qxc4, and 20 Qd5? Qxe3 2 1 Rxg7 Nc3 all win for Black. 20 Qe4 Qd7 21 RdBI, Black Resigns.

It's the second time in a row that Hungary, led by the Polgar sisters, has edged the Soviet women. China finished a distant third with 29-13. Next were Bulgaria, 26-16, and Yugoslavia, 25-17. The third-seeded U.S. team, the strongest ever, ended up sixth at 24'4-17Vi.
