	I'm going to take a stab at the reason for this particular deviation (although it doesn't explain all deviations). Kramnik is an expert, if the not the biggest expert, of the white side of the Bayonet (I think Gelfand and Van Wely are the only others even close). He's obviously put in a ton of time checking all the sidelines for potential chances, and is aware that even the sidelines have real chances for black to go wrong - to a degree this is why the Bayonet still represents a strong practical try where black doesn't have the luxury of a theoretical tome next to him. The main lines may be mapped out to a satisfactory conclusion for black, but it is far from trivial to find all the right moves against an opponent that is an expert at the variation, has obviously checked the nuances for the sideline he chooses ahead of time, and has the skill to punish the slightest inaccuracy.

Is it because he/she himself has found/failed to find an improvement for one side? Or because the opponent has played something in another line that seems suboptimal, or showed a lack of understanding of a detail, etc.? In this case, I have no idea why Kramnik deviated from the main paths.

	Thanks for the thread. Learned another thing today. But after reading the thread, and then reading Chessvibes [http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/full-point-lead-for-kramnik-in-hoogeveen, noticed this (on the Crown Group of the Univé Tournament in Hoogeveen): Quote: In the first round, on Sunday, Kramnik defeated Giri in good style, but not in a 100% perfect game. His young, Dutch opponent showed he had guts by choosing the King's Indian (and not the Grünfeld, like in Dortmund earlier this year). If he wasn't already one of the greatest experts against the KID from the White side, Kramnik certainly is 'after Kazan'. The Russian must have spent many hours preparing for Teimour Radjabov's favourite opening, but during the Candidates the number one from Azerbaijan surprisingly went for the Queen's Gambit Declined. Instead of the usual 10.Re1, in the Bayonet Attack Kramnik chose an old favourite of Loek van Wely: 10.g3. Two moves later he deviated again from the main paths with 12.Bf3, and Giri quickly went astray. Kramnik reached a completely winning position, but then went wrong with 27.Bb2? where the simple 27.Rxb7 is more or less curtains. However, the Russian's position was so good that he kept a big advantage and won anyway. Annotations from Chessvibes: Download game in pgn format

	Van Wely himself made one of Chessbase's new 60-minute video surveys, with a White Classical KID repertoire built around this line. Not at all detailed obviously, and he didn't look too well-prepared for the filming. But a useful starting point nonetheless. Btw. It could be dangerous to rely on Van Wely's win against Radjabov without also noting the later improvement by Stellwagen, below: Download game in pgn format In his video, Van Wely briefly mentions 24.Qe1 as a possible improvement. It's still an extremely complicated position and hard to say who is better without extensive analysis.

	This line is mentioned in Beat the KID - Jan Markos. I haven't looked at the KID for some time, but I know there is some newer books (and probably older too). Bologan and Vigorito, Gallagher might analyze the variation as well. I think I have seen some improvements for Black in this line.

	Here is probably Van Wely's most important win in this line, against World #1 KID player Radjabov: Download game in pgn format

Hi all,

Where can I go to find out information about what GM Baburin in Chess Today 3996 calls the "Van Wely Variation" of the Bayonet Attack, 10 g3 ?

10 g2-g3

Van Wely seems to score quite well with it.

"10.g3

This line should be called the Van
Wely Variation, as the Dutchmen used
it many times with very good results" -- Baburin

Thanks
