Chess Game: Pullin-Perelshteyn

Here's some analysis of my first round loss to GM Eugene Perelshteyn (2599) from the Chicago Open last week.

My opening strategy was overall shown to be unsound (although I missed a tactical chance with 22.Nxb5!) but hopefully this will not be the last word for the Nf3+Bd3 King's Indian Defense.

What program did you use for the analysis? I've never seen it before.

Nice chess game. Even though it didn't quite work out for you, I always enjoy watching these videos where you explain some of the possible variations that can arise out of the game. I didn't know the classical variation involving Be2 in the opening. I assumed that Bd3 was logical and so I've generally played that with mixed results. It seems playable, but then again I am mainly playing it on FICS against 1500-1700 players on blitz. A grandmaster would probably make things more difficult.

The bishop on e2 is often is more useful than the Bd3 in the opening as the Bd3 is limited by the e4 pawn. For instance 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 O-O 6.Be2 e5 7.O-O Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Ne1 is the ancient mainline (nowadays top GMs are playing 9.b4). Observe after Ne1, ...Nh5-f4 is prevented. Whereas if the B were on d3 White would have to deal with this attack.

I think playing with White is alot harder than playing with Black. If you play either 1.d4 or e4 you'd have to prepare for alot of defences Black can throw at you. My suggestion is to study the Polar Bear Opening System as White by GM Henrik Danielsonn and use this against ANYTHING Black throws at you. You'll be very surprised at how unprepared GMs are against this opening. A new book called Dangerous Weapons:Flank Openings talks about the Polar Bear. I've used it on blitz games and win alot.

I've tried it. I don't think 1.f4 is for me. At least, not without a fuller mastery of 1.f4 e5.

Very interesting game - thanks for presenting it. It seems often (in general) at the moment a player pushes for a greater advantage, e.g. in this case b5, there is statistically a momentary tactical liability created by the side pushing for a greater advantage. Being able to recognise and seize this opportunity could get a lot of rating points I think.
