[Na4 is far better because it keeps the Black queen on a safer square and permits eventual targets on b2 and c3, as well as making counter play for White difficult. It also gives Black time to double rooks and continue the q-side development, while the B of e5 languishes without good squares.] 25.Nd2 Rc6 26.Nb3 Rc3 27.Ra1 Qc6 28.Ra7 Nc8 29.Rc7 Qb6 30.Nc5 Re8 31.Na4 Qxc7 32.Bxc7 Rxc7 33.Qd3 Rc4 34.Nc5 [Here the simple 34...Bc5 35 dc5, Rc5 36.Qd4 Rb5 37.Rb1, Nd6 38.Rb4 Rb4 39.Qb4, Nc4 should hold at least a draw.] 34...Bf8 35.Ra1 Nd6 36.Ra6 Kf7 37.Qe2 g6 38.Nd7 Ke7 39.Ne5 Rc7 40.Nc6+ Kf6 41.Nxb4 Rb8 42.Qd2 Ne4 43.Nxd5+ Kg7 44.Qa5 Rb1+??

White can still swing his Q to d8 and h8 after he plays 29. Bc4, but this can lead to complications if he vacates b6, a possible b5 could create some counter chances for White.

Nc3, then the simple 7....ef5 destroys the White K-side and liberates the QB! The text move is a tempo waster and if Black had intended to use the Bishop sally, 3...Nf6 was the better choice of moves because the N at c6 prevents c5!] 5.Nf3 [White uses the gain in tempi to calmly redeploy his K-Side pieces.] 5...Nf6 6.Nc3 [4....Bh5 tries to lure White into the transparent trap of 5.g4?

The text move is a tempo waster and if Black had intended to use the Bishop sally, 3...Nf6 was the better choice of moves because the N at c6 prevents c5!] 6...e6 7.e3 g6 [Again, this seems to be a waste of time, and the B really belongs on e7. All this unnecessary maneuvering permits White good chances for improving his development.] 8.Bb5 Bg7 9.Bxc6 [This capture of the QN is pivotal in White's plan in the Bird, for the Black QB is really out of play on c6 and has no really good squares after 10.Ne5, and ends up back on e7 for the second time in order to preserve his Q-side pawn structure, more tempi lost!] 9...Bxc6 10.Ne5 Bd7 11.Ba3!

Bill thought for a long while here and decided on a time consuming knight's tour of sorts to h5, g3, f5 and finally to e7 all for the privilege of castling.] 11...Nh5 12.0–0 Ng3 13.Rf2 Nf5 14.g4!?

[This was a rather risky line, because it greatly exposed my K-side to possible intrusions via the h-file, but thought the expansion was justified because the final destination of the KN was e7, effectively blocking the h4–d8 diagonal.] 14...Ne7 15.Qf3 [In many variations of the Bird, the Q lands at f3, and since the Black's QB as effectively doomed to complacency, I felt this move provided additional pressure to Black's center and K-side. Truthfully, I felt Black's best bet here was to forego castling altogether since the closed nature of the position precluded any real mating threats and permitted him to untangle his forces.] 15...0–0?! [Again, I thought this was a mistake to castle on the side where White was in the process of marshalling his forces.] 16.Raf1 f6? [While this puts the question to the Ne5, it creates a host of targets for White's forces, and in the end, weakens Black's pawn structure. The N on e5 really is more annoying than anything else and a better plan was probably Rc8 followed up by c5!] 17.Nxd7 Qxd7 18.f5?! [A rather double edged move, that puts the question to the Black forces but has risks for White as well. With the majority of Black's pieces aligned along his back two ranks, is it advisable to pursue a strategy that might liberate his opponents forces? 18...d5 just loses a pawn, and 18...e5?? 19. Be7, Qe7 20. Qd5+, Kh8 21. Qb7 loses two pawns. Bill finds a good rejoinder and effectively ruins my "fun"!] 18...c6 19.Ne2 [Hoping to reposition my N to a better square.] 19...exf5 [19...e5! looks promising, and reshapes the possibilities for both sides. ] 20.gxf5 Rfe8 21.Bxe7 Qxe7 22.fxg6 hxg6 23.Nf4 Diagram

Many times, correct move order is essential, and better was probably 8...Bg4 first, and if 9.h3, Be6 10.b3, Qc8 puts pressure on h3.9.Nd5 I really wanted to get rid of Black's irritating QB and thought this might be a good choice to force the issue and mix things up, giving Chuck an opportunity to err. 9...Nd7 This move took me by surprise. A better choice was probably the more traditional 9...,Ne8 leaving space at d7 for the QB while still permitting the f5 push that Black wanted. 10.d4 Ba7 11.b3? This move was unnecessary...the simple 11.Nc7 saves a tempo keeping the immediate f5 at bay. I think this surprised Chuck as well, but I was determined to try to eliminate as many pieces as possible, and this would have forced Black to play B:d5, thus giving me the two bishop advantage and keeping his knights on the back three ranks. 11...f5! Another good move further illustrating how a single tempo can change the complexion of the game! 12.Nxc7 Qxc7 13.d5 Bf7! Another good choice. Thus far, Chuck has played a very solid game, although his KN is awkwardly placed. 14.dxc6 bxc6 15.Bd2 I was at odds as to which piece to move here. I liked having my N ready to jump into holes at f4 and d4 in case Black pushed e4 but chose Bd2 instead of the natural Bb2, because I wanted to be able to defend b3 with Rb1 and eventually place my B at c3 hitting the a5 pawn. 15...d5 Diagram

Premature. Black enjoys a strong pawn center and his pieces are better placed. Probably 15...,Rad8 followed up with Nf6. 16.Qc2 dxc4? Had the QR moved to d8, this makes more sense because not only does it seize and open file, but it prevents threats along the h1–a8 diagonal. 17.bxc4 Bh5?? This is probably the single move that doomed Chuck's game! Diagram

A questionable move here. Why take the B away from a powerful square where it can put real pressure on White's weak c-pawn? A superior plan would be 17...Bc5!!! followed by Nb6 with huge Q-side threats while White's pieces are in disarray. 18.Rfe1 Rab8 19.Nc1 e4 20.Nb3 Now White gets some welcome counter play. 20...Bb6 21.c5 Ba7 Had the QR remained on a8, this whole line would be refuted by...18...,Bc5 19.Nc1, e4 20.Nb3, Bf7 21.Ba5, Ra5 22.Na5, Qa5 with a winning position. 22.Bxa5 Qe5!

As you can see, had Black's QB remained on f7, he would have a smashing position! 23.Bb4 g5!? Much too soon and a very loosening move, compromising the Black K which will later become fatal. Again, the QB belongs on f7!!! 24.Rac1 Qf6 25.Nd4 Ne5 26.Bf1 Despite both of his bishops being out of play on the edge of the board, Black has some very real threats and White must be careful. I thought a very long time on this sequence and felt I had to prevent Nd3 at all costs. Interesting is the fact that had the QB remained at f7, the move Qh6 looks devastating! 26...Rb7 27.Rb1 Rg7 A really bad plan...and there is little time to waste with all of this rook maneuvering! 28.Bc4+ I had to do something to get rid of the e5 Knight, but the simple retreat, 28...Bf7 would have been best, and both sides get rid of their bad bishops. Additionally, I wanted to trade down as many pieces as possible to create endgame chances for my extra pawn. 28...Nxc4?? This was a huge error....permitting the exchange of the well-placed N, for my bad bishop. 29.Qxc4+ [29.Qxc4+] 29...Rff7 Moving the King away or interposing the QB was the only correct move! 30.Bc3 Qh6?? 31.Nxf5 Diagram

This game was a surprise, and will possibly win the prize for the biggest upset. Noel's USCF rating is 1421 and Tony's was 1934. A 500+ point difference should have been an easy win for the higher rated, but Noel is difficult to play when he is on his game... as evidenced by this game, it was his day! I was unable to beat him last year, only drawing him. His greatest shortcoming appears to be inconsistency. 1.d4 f5 2.Bf4 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.Bd3 d6 6.0–0 Qe7 7.Bb5 Bd7 8.Nc3 h6 9.d5 exd5 10.Nxd5 Nxd5 11.Qxd5 g5 12.Bg3 Diagram The game is now equal 12...0–0–0 [12...Bg7 Better] 13.Nd4 [13.Bxc6 Bxc6 14.Qxf5+ Kb8 15.Nd4 Bd7 16.Qd3] 13...Nxd4 14.Bxd7+ Qxd7 15.Qxd4 Bg7 16.Qxa7 Qc6 17.f3 [17.c3] 17...h5 18.Bf2 h4 19.Qa3 h3 20.Bg3 Diagram

Matt had won 4 of our last 5 championship games when I have had Black.. He is an aggressive tactical player and thrives on the initiative that he usually turns into some kind of advantage. I was determined to blunt his wanderlust by tying to take him out of his favorite Reti lines by closing up the center and blunting his tactical opportunities . 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Bg4 3.Bg2 c6 4.0–0 Nd7 5.d3 h6 6.c3 Ngf6 7.Qb3 Qc7 8.Re1? I thought Bf4 now preventing e5 was much stronger! 8...e5 9.e4 A critical position here that presented me with quite a few chances to go wrong, so I thought for over 20 minutes to develop a plan that would blunt his tactical threats. Here his N is looking for a combination against e5, where he takes then if I retake, he has Bf4 then d4 winning a pawn. and opening up the center for against my vulnerable King. So I decided to drive away his Q and follow it up with pressure along the d file. 9...Nc5 Diagram

Matt had won 4 of our last 5 championship games when I have had Black.. He is an aggressive tactical player and thrives on the initiative that he usually turns into some kind of advantage. I was determined to blunt his wanderlust by tying to take him out of his favorite Reti lines by closing up the center and blunting his tactical opportunities . 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Bg4 3.Bg2 c6 4.0–0 Nd7 5.d3 h6 [5...e6 6.Nbd2 Bd6 7.b3 Ne7 8.Bb2 0–0 9.h3 Bh5 10.e4 a5 11.a3 f6 12.d4 f5 13.e5 Bc7 14.c4 a4 15.b4 b5 16.c5 h6 17.Qc2 g5 18.Nh2 Kh8 19.Kh1 Qe8 20.Bf3 Bxf3+ 21.Ndxf3 Qh5 22.Kg2 Rf7 23.Rh1 Rg8 24.Rag1 Qg6 25.Kf1 f4 26.Qxg6 Nxg6 27.g4 Bd8 28.Ke2 ½–½ (28) Sasikiran,K (2639)-Anand,V (2803) Berlin 2015] 6.c3 Ngf6 7.Qb3N [7.Nbd2 e6 8.Qc2 Bf5 9.Re1 Bc5 10.a4 a6 11.b4 Be7 12.Bb2 0–0 13.Rad1 Bh7 14.Qb3 Qc7 15.Rc1 Rfc8 16.Bh3 Qb6 17.a5 Qc7 18.c4 dxc4 19.Nxc4 Nd5 20.Ba3 Re8 21.e4 N5f6 22.Bb2 Rad8 23.Bg2 Qc8 24.Nfe5 Qc7 25.Qc3 Nxe5 26.Nxe5 Qd6 27.Qc5 Qc7 28.Qc4 Qd6 29.Bc3 Rf8 30.Nf3 Qxd3 31.Qb3 Qb5 32.Nd4 Bxb4 33.Nxb5 1–0 (33) Sibanc,B (1927)-Lazar,F Ptuj 2007] 7...Qc7 8.Re1? I thought Bf4 now preventing e5 was much stronger! 8...e5 9.e4 A critical position here that presented me with quite a few chances to go wrong, so I thought for over 20 minutes to develop a plan that would blunt his tactical threats. Here his N is looking for a combination against e5, where he takes then if I retake, he has Bf4 then d4 winning a pawn. and opening up the center for against my vulnerable King. So I decided to drive away his Q and follow it up with pressure along the d file. 9...Nc5 Diagram

Jones,G. Avery (1566) - Rutkofske,Lonnie (1800) [A41] Modern Defense
2016 PHCC Championships Port Huron (8), 03.03.2016 [Gregg,Alan] {Rutkofske, Lon}
1.d4 g6 {Avery and I have played a number of close games of late, and he has improved drastically in his opening play. The clock has almost always posed a significant factor in our games and this was to be no exception. With Avery, one can count almost exclusively on a Queen pawn opening, usually transposing into a Colle or London System. With the Black pieces Avery is most partial to the Caro-Kann. He is much more lethal with the White pieces. As for my choice, I prefer the Modern Defense, and bide my time in hopes of creating as few weaknesses as possible while frustrating White's attacks lying in wait for a chance at a counter-strike when he over extends himself.} 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bf4 {As in the Caro-Kann, Avery nearly always prefers to get his QB outside the pawn structure. He usually shoots for g5, but without a N on f6, this choice lacks any real bite and would become a tempo waster after h6.} 3...Bg7 4.e3 a6 { Black appears to be significantly behind in development, but making three pawn moves in the first 4 moves is usually fatal, but the nature of the Modern Defense it that is delays piece deployment making it more flexible and creates few immediate targets. While appearing very passive, there is method to the madness, but then, White has been less than aggressive to this point.} [Relevant: 4...Nf6 5.h3 0–0 6.Be2 b6 7.0–0 Bb7 8.Nbd2 Nbd7 9.Bh2 c5 10.c3 Re8 11.a4 a6 12.Qb3 h6 13.Rfd1 Rb8 14.Nc4 b5 15.axb5 axb5 16.Na5 Bd5 17.Qc2 Be4 18.Qc1 Ra8 19.b4 cxb4 20.cxb4 Rc8 21.Qd2 Rc2 22.Qe1 Qb6 23.Rdc1 Rec8 24.Rxc2 Rxc2 25.Rc1 Rb2 26.Bf1 Nd5 27.Rc6 Qa7 28.Rc8+ Kh7 29.Nd2 N7f6 30.Qc1 Ra2 31.Nxe4 Nxe4 32.Rc2 Nxb4 33.Rxa2 Nxa2 34.Qc2 Melkumyan,H (2654)-Mamedov,R (2650) Minsk 2015 0–1] 5.Be2 Nd7 6.c3 b6 7.0–0 Bb7 8.Nbd2 {Noel Bedy gave me an excellent book by Cyrus Lakdawala (Hikaru Nakamura's dad and coach) entitled: The Modern Defence-Move by Move which provided in depth insights into the opening and how to successfully maneuver in closed positions as you target over ambitious White forces.} [Predecessor: 8.Qb3 e6 9.Nbd2 Ne7 10.Rfe1 0–0 11.h3 h6 12.Qc2 g5 13.Bh2 f5 14.Rad1 Rc8 15.Nb3 Nf6 16.Nfd2 Ng6 17.Bf3 Bxf3 18.Nxf3 g4 19.hxg4 Nxg4 20.Bg3 h5 21.Nc1 Qe7 22.Ne2 e5 23.dxe5 dxe5 24.Qa4 Rcd8 25.Qxa6 h4 26.Bh2 h3 27.gxh3 Nxh2 28.Kxh2 e4 29.Nfd4 Qh4 30.Rf1 Ne5 31.Nf4 c5 32.Qxb6 cxd4 33.Qe6+ Kh7 34.cxd4 Nf3+ 35.Kg2 Rf6 36.Qe7 Rdd6 37.Kh1 Kh8 Klemp,T (1770)-Winter,L (1961) Gladenbach 2011 1–0] 8...Ngf6 9.Qb3!

Bc1 focusing on repositioning his B to a better square like d2 to shore up his defenses and help out on the Q-side! At this point, Alan has little counter play and this position is very drawish, which isn't in Alan's plan.

[Alan chooses a perfect defensive spot for his B, and now can proceed to penetrate the K-side with his K as now White's pieces become over burdened.

[Bh6 was essential here, because the K cannot penetrate and once the N returns to e3. At this point the extra pawn on e4 is rather a liability and all white needs to do is shuffle his B or K to claim the draw!] 48...Nb7 49.Kb3 Nd6 50.Bc1 Nf5 51.Be3 Nd4+ 52.Kc3 Kf5 53.Kd2 Kg4 54.Nc3 Kf5 55.Nd5 g5 56.hxg5 Nf3+ 57.Ke2 Bxg5 Diagram

Black needs to get rid of the B at b3, but to sacrifice his B for three pawns in the vain hope of endgame glory is hardly a sound plan at this point in the game, playing squarely into the theme of the Yugoslav attack by clearing the files for White's Rooks. Black appears oblivious to the dangers of White's looming K-side onslaught.
