EDIT: --- The game annotations are now in English ---
Another game I played with the Chigorin. This game is from the last season in the German Bundesliga and shows how Black can achieve a good game against 3. g3 if White plays careless (Again, annotations are in german, but I shall translate them as soon as there is time, and given there is interest):
Krasenkow,M (2676) - Wisnewski,C (2392) [A00]
German Bundesliga (9), 30.01.2005
1.Ng1-f3 Nb8-c6 2.d2-d4 d7-d5 3.g2-g3 Bc8-g4 4.Bf1-g2 e7-e6 5.c2-c3?!
A passive move, which is unable to guarantee any opening advantage [5.c2-c4 is normal here and should be played if White wants to achieve any advantage, although I believe that Black can equalize. This can be done with 5...Bf8-d6! in order to keep control of e5. Possible continuations are: (5...Ng8-f6? 6.Nf3-e5! gives Black problems.) 6.0-0 Ng8-f6 7.Nb1-c3 (7.b2-b3 0-0 8.Bc1-b2 Nf6-e4 9.Nb1-c3 (9.Nf3-e1 Bg4-h5 10.Nb1-d2 f7-f5 11.Ne1-d3 a7-a5! with black initiative.) 9...f7-f5!? 10.c4xd5 e6xd5 11.Nc3xd5 Bd6xg3 12.h2xg3 Qd8xd5 with a good game for black thanks to his control of the light squares; 7...0-0 (Not 7...Nf6-e4? because of 8.c4xd5 e6xd5 9.Qd1-b3±) 8.c4xd5 (8.Bc1-g5 d5xc4 9.Qd1-a4 (9.e2-e4? Bd6-e7 and d4 is completely weak.) 9...h7-h6 10.Bg5xf6 (10.Bg5-c1 Nf6-d5 11.Qa4xc4 Nc6-a5 12.Qc4-d3 Nd5-b4 13.Qd3-d1 Na5-c4 also gives active play for Black.) 10...Qd8xf6=+; 8...Nf6xd5 9.e2-e4 Nd5-b6 10.b2-b3 (10.Bc1-e3 Nb6-c4=) 10...Bd6-b4 11.Bc1-b2 f7-f5! and the white centre is about to get busted.]
5...Bf8-d6 6.Qd1-b3 Ra8-b8
This move is typical for various systems where White plays Qb3. Black protects his b-pawn and moves his rook away from the h1-a8 diagonal. Additionally, a possible advance ...b7-b5-b4 can be an idea in certain positions.
7.0-0 Ng8-f6 8.Bc1-g5 h7-h6 9.Bg5xf6 Qd8xf6 10.Nb1-d2 0-0 11.e2-e4 Bg4xf3!?
It seems that Krasenkov, who played quite fast up til now, underestimated this move.
12.Bg2xf3
[12.Nd2xf3 seems better. White does not have much after 12...d5xe4 13.Nf3-d2 Rf8-d8 14.Nd2xe4 Qf6-e7 but at least Black has not been able to fully equalize yet.]
12...d5xe4 13.Bf3xe4 e6-e5=
The opening phase is complete, Black has equalized.
14.d4-d5?!
It is understandable that my opponent, with an ELO plus of nearly 300 points, is not happy with a draw being White. Yet, it is dangerous for White to continue in this fashion [14.d4xe5 Nc6xe5 15.Nd2-c4 Ne5xc4 16.Qb3xc4 is one possibility how the position can completely dry out.]
14...Nc6-e7 15.c3-c4 b7-b6=+
The structure that has arisen satisfied me. Black was able to build up a successful blockade on the dark squares to keep the white pawn majority on the queen side from advancing, while chances on the kingside, especially through a possible advance ...f7-f5 are retained.
16.Be4-c2 Ne7-c8?+=
I was angry about this maneuver when my opponent played his next move. Originally I intended to transfer my Bishop to c5 in order to free d6 for my Knight, but there is a lack of time [16...Qf6-g5!=+ with the idea ...f7-f5 is much better. After 17.Nd2-e4 Qg5-g6 18.Ne4xd6 (otherwise Black can even take with the c-pawn on d6 after ...f7-f5) 18...Qg6xd6 followed by ...f7-f5 and ...e5-e4, the black knight is superior to the white bishop]
17.Ra1-e1 a7-a5
I invested 45 minutes into this move without getting any further. I hoped to gain some time, since I thought that my opponent had to react to Bb4 (with the "threat" of trading the bishop on d2 for the knight) with a3. [Originally I planned 17...Qf6-d8?, which was the reason why I played 16...Nc8 spielte. I wanted to play ...f7-f5 and that Qf6 again. But now I realised that 18.Nd2-f3! would be very strong since Black has problems to protect his e-pawn. (18.Qb3-f3 to prevent ...f7-f5 is good as well.) 18...Qd8-f6 (18...Rf8-e8 19.c4-c5! Bd6xc5 20.Nf3xe5±; 18...Qd8-e7 19.Qb3-e3 Rf8-e8 20.Bc2-a4±) 19.c4-c5! Bd6xc5 20.Nf3xe5±]
18.Nd2-e4??
This move (and the idea that comes with it) is utterly dreadful. [After 18.a2-a3 I certainly would have tried 18...Ld6-c5. White wins a pawn after (18...Qf6-g5? 19.Nd2-f3 Qg5-h5 20.Qb3-d3 g7-g6 21.Bc2-d1!± is not what I wanted.) 19.Nd2-e4 Qf6-e7 20.Ne4xc5 Qe7xc5 21.Re1xe5 but at least Black can coordinate his forces and has the better minor piece 21...Sc8-d6 with a better position for White.]
18...Qf6-e7
Now Black can play his long planned advance ...f7-f5 without being forced to take care about e5.
19.f2-f4
Nearly forced. White cannot allow Black to gain space with ...f7-f5 and ...e5-e4.
19...e5xf4 20.Qb3-d3 f7-f5 21.Ne4xd6 Qe7xd6 22.Rf1xf4 Qd6-c5+ 23.Kg1-g2
[23.Dd3-e3 does not force Black to trade, he can play 23...Nc8-d6! instead. The pawn structure on the queen side will be slightly weakened, but White cannot exploit this. Black will trade rooks and retain a clear advantage in the upcoming minor piece ending. 24.Qe3xc5 b6xc5 25.b2-b3 Rf8-f6 with the idea Kf8 and Re8]
23...Nc8-d6=+
Black has everything was he has ever dreamed of. The white pawns on the queen side are completely blocked, and he has the superior minor piece.
24.g3-g4?!
In beginning time trouble White loses the thread. [After 24.Re1-e6 b6-b5 (24...Rb8-e8 25.Qd3-e2 Re8xe6 26.Qe2xe6+ Kg8-h8 27.Bc2xf5 is nothing for Black.) 25.c4xb5 Rb8xb5 26.Bc2-b3 Rb5-b4 27.Rf4xb4 Qc5xb4=+ Black still needs to show some technique, as it is not easy to reach the white king in this line.]
24...b6-b5!-/+
"A very strong move", as annotator GM Hort mentioned in the live coverage. The white position now collapses.
25.c4xb5
[25.g4xf5? b5xc4-+]
25...Rb8xb5 26.g4xf5
[26.b2-b3 does not help either 26...Rb5-b4! 27.Re1-f1 (27.Rf4xb4? Qc5xb4 with attack on e1 and g4.) 27...Rf8-e8 and Black gains control of the e-file: 28.g4xf5 Re8-e3 29.Qd3-d2 Re3-e5 30.f5-f6 Re5-g5+ 31.Kg2-h3 (31.Kg2-h1? Rb4xf4 32.Qd2xf4 (32.Rf1xf4 Qc5-g1#) 32...Qc5xd5+-+; 31...Rg5xd5-+]
26...Rb5xb2 27.Re1-e2 Rf8-e8 28.Re2xe8+
[After 28.Rf4-f2 Re8xe2 29.Rf2xe2 Qc5-c4! there are just to many weaknesses.]
28...Nd6xe8 29.Rf4-c4 Qc5-e7 30.a2-a4 Qe7-g5+ 31.Kg2-h3
An uncomfortable position with two minutes left for ten moves. The king will be hunted down soon, but it shows that other moves are no better. [31.Kg2-h1 Rb2-a2! 32.Qd3-d1 (32.Qd3-c3 Qg5-c1+ 33.Kh1-g2 Ra2-a1-+ and Black storms the back door) 32...Qg5-f6! 33.Qd1-e2 Ne8-d6 34.Rc4-f4 Kg8-h8 with a crumbling position for White.;
31.Qd3-g3? Qg5-d2+ 32.Qg3-f2 (32.Kg2-h1 Rb2xc2-+) 32...Qd2xd5+ 33.Rc4-e4 Ne8-f6-+]
31...Ne8-f6 32.Qd3-f3 Qg5-d2 33.Qf3-c3
[33.Qf3-d3 Qd2xd3+ 34.Bc2xd3 Nf6xd5-+ and Black trades initiative for a winning material advantage.]
33...Qd2-c1!?
[33...Qd2xc3+ 34.Qc4xc3 Nf6xd5 35.Bc2-b3 Rb2-d2 is also possible, but I was not in the mood for a rook ending.]
34.Rc4xc7??
The final mistake. [34.Qc3-d3 is the only move to keep the game going, but defence remains difficult: 34...Qc1-g1 and White has probems to avoid Zugzwang (!). 35.Qd3-f3 Rb2-a2 36.Qf3-d3 (36.Rc4xc7?? Ra2-a3!-+) 36...Ra2-a1! with the idea ...Ta1-f1 to prevent the white queen from accessing f3.]
34...Dc1-f1+
White resigned in view of 34...Qc1-f1+ 35.Kh3-g3 (35.Kh3-h4 Qf1-f4+ 36.Kh4-h3 Qf4-g4#) 35...Qf1-g1+ 36.Kg3-f3 Qg1-g4+ 37.Kf3-e3 (37.Kf3-f2 Nf6-e4+-+) 37...Nf6xd5+-+
0-1
