D A surprise but very logical move gains White mate in 2 (R T Lewis 1989); try to discover all 18 variations: World Champion Viswanathan Anand (India) started the Spanish half of the Morelia/Linares Super Grandmaster tournament with a half point lead over Alexei Shirov (Spain) and Veselin Topalov (Bulgaria). He increased his lead in Round 9 with victory over Shirov and then played six successive draws to finish on 8.5/14. His main challenge came from Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen who won three of his second leg games to cut Anands lead to a half point with two games to play. However even a final round draw was sufficient to guarantee Anand first place on countback as he had scored 1.5-0.5 against his young rival. Scores: Anand 8.5/14, Carlsen 8, Topolov & Teimour Radjabov (Azerbaijan) 7, Vassily Ivanchuk (Ukraine) 6.5, Peter Leko (Hungary) & Shirov 5.5. Carlsens aggressive approach gained him the most victories in the tournament although he was sometimes skating on thin ice. Against Topalov in Round 10 he sacrificed one pawn, then a further two pawns before winning after Topalov unwisely tried to avoid a perpetual check. Below is his interesting win against Ivanchuk when he has rook against bishop and knight with level pawns: Vassily Ivanchuk - Magnus Carlsen XXV SuperGM Morelia/Linares, Rd 8 Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defence 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.d4 a6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.Qe2 Bf5(a) 8.Re1 Bb4(b) 9.c3 Bd6 10.Qc2 Qd7 11.dxe5 Bc5 12.Rxe4 0-0-0 13.Nbd2 Qd5 14.Kf1 Rhe8 15.b3 g5 16.Bb2(c) g4 17.Nd4 Bxd4 18.cxd4 c5 19.Rae1 cxd4 20.Qc4 Bxe4 21.Rxe4 Rxe5 22.Rxg4 Rde8 23.Nf3 Qxc4+ 24.bxc4 Re2 25.Bxd4 Rxa2 26.Rg7 a5 27.Rxf7(d) Rc2 28.g4 a4 29.g5 a3 30.Rxh7 a2 31.Rh8 Rxh8 32.Bxh8 Rxc4 33.h3 c5 34.Ne1 Rc1 35.g6 Kd7 36.Bb2(e) Ke6 37.h4 c4 38.h5 c3 39.Bxc1 a1=Q 40.Nd3 White lost on time. 0-1 a) Up to now Winawer-Zukertort (London 1883) which continued 8.g4 Bg6 9.h4 Qd7 10.Nxe5 Qxd4 11.Nf3 Qd7 12.Ng5 Qe7 13.Re1 0-0-0 14.Nxe4 Qxe4 15.Nc3 Qxe2 16.Rxe2. b) Played after 14 minutes thought.
