{Apologies for the delay in getting this post up! Some articles for other
chess websites plus the heat put me out of commission for a bit, but I'm alive
and kicking now! In this week's blog post we're going to see how to obtain an
International Master norm, using the example of 12-year old FM Anton Smirnov
who recently scored his second IM norm at the very strong Indonesian Open! He
also picked up 30.5 rating points - very nicely done, indeed! My main game for
this article is Anton's last round game, where he had to beat one of the local
IMs to attain the norm. Let's see how he did it!} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4
4. Nxd4 a6 5. Bd3 (5. c4 {used to be Anton's antidote to the Kan (and also
mine!) but in this tournament he showed some extra breadth in his repertoire.
With 5.Bd3 White keeps the option of playing either c4 or Nc3, depending on
Black's response.}) 5... Qc7 (5... b5 6. a4 $1 b4 7. O-O {is another point
behind 5.Bd3 - White can now develop with Nd2/Re1 without having wasted time
with Nc3-b1.}) 6. O-O Nf6 7. Qe2 d6 8. c4 Be7 (8... g6 9. Nc3 Bg7 {is the
alternative, developing the bishop more actively and leaving the d6-pawn to
fend for itself!}) 9. Nc3 O-O 10. Kh1 {This prophylaxis wasn't necessary;
White could have gone for it with} (10. f4 {as White always has Be3 to stop a
pin down the g1-a7 diagonal.}) 10... b6 (10... Nc6 11. Nxc6 bxc6 12. f4 {is a
decent enough structure; White has more space and if} e5 13. f5 {will see
White getting a strong kingside attack with a later g4-g5.}) (10... Nbd7 11. f4
b6 {transposes to the game.}) 11. f4 Nbd7 {In this structure it is very
important for Black to prevent White from playing e5.} 12. Bd2 {Likewise,
White develops his bishop to d2 rather than e3 so that his queen can support
an e5 break.} Rd8 {This move is hard to explain.} (12... Bb7 {was the obvious
continuation, connecting the rooks. Otherwise why play ...b6?}) 13. Rac1 {
Placing the rook on the same file as the opponent's queen is usually a good
idea, but I would have gone for} (13. Rae1 Bb7 14. Nf3 {to prepare the e5
break. The reason this break is effective is because it frees the d3-bishop 
(which points menacingly towards Black's king) and if Black exchanges on e5,
fxe5 opens lines for both the d2-bishop and the f1-rook. Not bad for one move!}
) 13... Bb7 14. Rf3 {This rook lift suggests that White is a bit indecisive -
his other rook should be on the kingside if he wishes to attack there!} (14. b4
{would the logical follow-up, preparing to play on the queenside, say with Nb3
and eventually c5.}) (14. f5 $1 Nc5 15. fxe6 fxe6 16. Bb1 {is even better
though, as White threatens b4 followed by Nxe6 and there's no way you want to
play} a5 {giving White's knight a lovely outpost on b5!}) 14... Bf8 (14... Rac8
{was also possible, completing development.}) 15. Rh3 Rac8 16. Rf1 $1 {I like
this move, not just because of its strength but also because it shows a
certain maturity - White realises that his rook on c1 doesn't help him attack
on the kingside and therefore improves its position.} (16. f5 Re8 17. fxe6 fxe6
18. Rf1 {was also possible but I would be quite happy as Black with a nice e5
outpost for the knight.}) 16... Re8 {Black also accepts that his rook was not
so well placed on d8!} (16... Nc5 17. Bc2 g6 {was a better defence, blocking
the c2-bishop's diagonal and preparing ...Bg7.}) 17. b3 $6 {At the critical
moment White hesitates, giving Black time to consolidate - if he calculates
well!} (17. e5 $1 {was rather strong here, the point being} dxe5 18. fxe5 Qxe5
(18... Nxe5 19. Bxh7+ $1 Nxh7 20. Qh5 f6 21. Qxh7+ Kf7 22. Bg5 $1 {with the
threat of Rxf6 gives White a winning attack.}) 19. Rxf6 $1 {and with Bxh7
being a huge threat, Black must find} Bxg2+ $1 {to survive, but} 20. Qxg2 (20.
Kxg2 Qxe2+) 20... Nxf6 21. Nf3 Qc7 22. Ng5 $1 {still gives White a promising
attack.}) 17... Qb8 $6 {Black misses his chance to consolidate his position.} (
17... g6 $1 {was the first move that came to mind when I looked at this
position with a student, when if Black can play ...Bg7 his king will be safe
and he can prepare a central counterattack with a likely ...e5. Now you can
see why Black often plays ...g6 on move 8! I think Black rejected this because
of} 18. e5 {but this fails to} dxe5 19. fxe5 Qxe5 $1 20. Qxe5 Nxe5 21. Rxf6 Bg7
22. Rf1 Nxd3 23. Rxd3 Rcd8 {and Black regains the piece thanks to the d-file
pin. If} 24. Be3 e5 {is the followup.}) 18. Bb1 {Possibly as a result of
nerves, White again hesitates. Luckily his position is still quite promising.}
(18. e5 dxe5 19. fxe5 Qxe5 20. Rxf6 {is the same as in the previous note, only
with the extra move b3 which helps White greatly as the c4-pawn is now well
guarded.}) 18... e5 $6 {Black finally sees the threat of e5 but this is not
the way to meet it!} (18... g6 19. e5 dxe5 20. fxe5 {no longer works for Black
as there's no bishop on d3 to take!}) (18... h6 {was the best defence, but I
still really like White's position after} 19. Rg3 Kh8 20. f5 e5 21. Nc2 {and
White keeps a nice grip on the position. If Black mixes it up with} b5 {White
can settle for} 22. Ne3 bxc4 23. Nxc4 {with a very comfortable positional edge.
}) 19. fxe5 Rxe5 (19... dxe5 20. Nf5 {followed by Nd5 was also bad for Black.
The problem is that he has no dynamism in his position when he commits his
central pawns.}) 20. Bf4 {Good, but} (20. Nd5 $1 Bxd5 21. cxd5 {was even
better: if} Nxd5 {,} 22. exd5 $1 Rxe2 23. Bxh7+ Kh8 24. Bg6+ Kg8 25. Bxf7# {is
mate.}) 20... Ree8 21. Bg5 $1 {White threatens a big sack on f6, which should
be winning as Black will have no defenders around his king then} Rc5 22. Bxf6
Nxf6 23. Rg3 $6 (23. Rxf6 $1 gxf6 24. Nd5 {gives White a completely winning
attack with Qh5, Nf5, Qg4 and Nxf6 being some of the immediate threats.} Bxd5 (
24... Rxd5 25. cxd5 {is just hopeless. If} Bxd5 26. Qg4+ Kh8 27. Qf5 {again.})
25. Qg4+ Kh8 26. Rxh7+ (26. e5 {is slower but also forces mate.}) 26... Kxh7
27. e5+ Kh8 28. Qf5 {and Black cannot prevent Qh7 mate in a few moves.}) 23...
Qd8 (23... Nd7 {at least keeps the game going by avoiding Rxf6, but} 24. Qf2
Ne5 25. Na4 {is still much better for White. Here I'd be tempted to sack the
exchange with} g6 {but it's not enough after} 26. Nxc5 bxc5 27. Nf5 {.}) 24.
Qf3 (24. Qf2 $1 {was a much better square, to prevent the ...b5 resource Black
obtains in the game. If} Nxe4 25. Nxe4 Bxe4 26. Qxf7+ Kh8 27. Bxe4 {.}) 24...
Kh8 25. Nd5 b5 $1 {This works only because of the line-up of the b7-bishop and
the f3-queen.} 26. Rh3 $6 (26. Bd3 bxc4 27. bxc4 {keeps control and a clear
advantage. The poor c5-rook remains well and truly out of the game!}) 26... Re5
(26... bxc4 27. bxc4 Re5 {was more accurate. Note that} 28. Nxf6 Qxf6 29. Qxf6
gxf6 {only helps Black as his king is no longer in danger of getting mated!})
27. Qd1 (27. Nf5 bxc4 {leaves White without a killer blow on the kingside.}) (
27. Qf2 $1 {was again best, but this isn't such an easy move to play when
you've just put the queen on f3!}) 27... Nxe4 28. Bxe4 Rxe4 29. Qd3 Bxd5 $2 {
This is simply a blunder.} (29... Rh4 30. Rhf3 f6 31. Ne6 Qa8 32. Nxc5 dxc5 {
is still better for White, but at least an immediate calamity has been averted.
}) 30. cxd5 Rh4 31. Rhf3 Rxd5 {Losing instantly, but} (31... f6 32. Ne6 {was
also rather hopeless for Black.}) 32. Rxf7 Be7 33. Qf3 Bf6 34. Qxd5 {Black
resigned. As is often the case with these big games, there were a few mistakes
but overall Anton simply outplayed the IM. The key moment came when Black
didn't get in ...g6/...Bg7- after that he was always struggling to equalise.}

{Anton was also successful against the GMs he played, scoring 1.5/4 (3 draws
and 1 loss). I've annotated his best draw (on rating) below.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3
d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be2 ({Previously Anton went for the
English Attack with} 6. f3 {. However the bishop development is a good option
if you like rich positional games.}) 6... e5 7. Nb3 Be7 8. O-O O-O 9. Re1 {A
flexible waiting move, trying to prevent the freeing advance ...d5 (as the
White rook may then attack the e5-pawn). More often White goes for an f4 break
at some point to put pressure on the e5-pawn.} Be6 10. Bf3 b5 (10... Nbd7 11.
a4 Qc7 {is more common, but then} 12. a5 Rac8 13. Be3 {gives White a nice
clamp on the queenside and chances for an edge.}) (10... Qc7 11. a4 Rc8 $1 {is
more accurate, to prevent White from playing Nd5.}) 11. a4 b4 12. Nd5 Bxd5 13.
exd5 {Now I slightly prefer White's chances as the b4-pawn is a bit weak, and
playing ...a5 leaves the entire light square complex weak. Also White's bishop
pair could become useful later.} a5 14. Qe2 (14. Be2 {with ideas of Bb5 looks
like the right way to keep an edge.}) 14... Nbd7 15. Bg5 $6 {There is no
justification for White exchanging his dark-squared bishop, so this is
pointless.} Re8 16. Nd2 Rc8 17. Bxf6 Nxf6 18. Nc4 g6 {White has misplayed the
position with his last few moves and now Black is clearly better as he is
ready to play ...Nd7-c5, ...f5, ...Bf6 and ...e4 while Black's minority attack
has frozen White's queenside pawns.} 19. g3 Nd7 20. b3 f5 21. Bg2 {Prophylaxis
against ...e4, but Black doesn't have to rush with this move. White has no
plan so he can improve his position for as long as he wants.} Nc5 (21... Rc5 {
was perhaps even better. The intention is to surround the d5-pawn with ...Nf6
and ...e4.}) 22. Kh1 Bf6 23. Rg1 h5 24. Rad1 Bg7 25. f3 Kf7 26. g4 $6 {White
gets impatient and lashes out. Objectively, he should have shuffled and tried
to hold.} hxg4 27. fxg4 f4 28. Be4 Rh8 {Now Black has a very strong structure
on the kingside and the easy plan of attacking down the h-file. However Anton
is very tenacious in these awful-looking positions and in the game this
tenacity paid off.} 29. Rg2 Bf6 30. Rf1 Bg5 31. Rf3 Kg7 32. Rg1 Qc7 33. Ra1 Rh4
34. h3 Rch8 35. Kg2 Qd7 (35... Bd8 {followed by a queen move and ...Bc7 is
very logical, so that the bishop takes the place of the queen as the guard of
a5 and d6.}) 36. Rg1 Nxe4 {Black cashes in, but} (36... Bd8 37. Bd3 Bc7 {
should have been played first to improve Black's position as much as possible,
as Black can break through any day of the week. Then} 38. Nd2 Qf7 39. Bc4 Qe7
40. Bd3 Bb6 41. Rh1 Qg5 {makes a breakthrough with ...Rxg4 inevitable.}) 37.
Qxe4 Rxh3 38. Rxh3 Qxg4+ 39. Kf2 Qxh3 40. Nxd6 {This is still winning for
Black, but it's a bit messy and by being more patient Black could have had a
safe and sound win.} Qe3+ $2 {This blunder sees White escape with a somewhat
lucky draw.} (40... Rf8 $1 {with the threat of ...Bh4 and ...f3 was winning.
Black must have been in time trouble to have rejected this continuation. If}
41. Qf3 Bh4+ 42. Ke2 Qd7 43. Nc4 Qf5 {threatens both ...Qxc2 and ...e4, and
the rest is a piece of cake.}) 41. Qxe3 fxe3+ 42. Kf3 $2 (42. Kf1 $1 Rf8+ 43.
Ke1 {was the correct way to maintain equality.}) 42... Rf8+ 43. Kg4 $2 {The
king goes off on a hunting trip without any guards, but it isn't clear what
White is hunting!} (43. Ke4 Rf2 $1 44. Re1 (44. Rxg5 e2 45. Rg1 Rf1) 44... Rxc2
{still gave Black good winning chances though.}) 43... Bd8 $2 {The comedy of
errors continues. Perhaps the organisers should have included an extra half
hour for when the players reached move 40?} (43... Be7 {threatens Rf4, and} 44.
Nc4 Rf4+ 45. Kh3 Bh4 {followed by ...e2 and ...Rf1 is crushing, to say the
least.}) 44. Re1 Rf4+ 45. Kh3 Rd4 46. Rxe3 Rxd5 47. Ne4 {It's not easy for
Black to make use of his extra pawn as the White knight blockades everything
and Black's dark-squared bishop is suddenly rather useless.} Bc7 48. Kg4 Kf7
49. Rh3 Bd8 50. Rh7+ Ke6 51. Rg7 (51. Ra7 {was an input error in the original
game, but it's actually a fractionally better move! According to the engine at
least; in reality it makes no difference.}) 51... Rd4 52. Kf3 Kf5 53. Rf7+ Ke6
54. Rg7 Kf5 55. Rf7+ Ke6 56. Rg7 {and drawn. What a way to start the
tournament!} 1/2-1/2
