1. d4 |
This game is a Catalan miniature, which features some nice tactical motifs. I haven't annotated it too deeply, but everyone should be able to enjoy this game. | ||||

Polugayevsky-Pachenko went 8. Qe2 b5 9. Rd1 Be7; 10. b3 cb; 11. ab 0-0; 12. e4, with positional compensation for the pawn. | ||||

More usual is 10. Rd1 or 10. a4, either securing the d-pawn or creating weaknesses in blacks queenside before opening the center. | ||||

10... e5 |
This is the error that lets White get the initiative. After 10...Be7; 11. d5 Nb4; 12. Ne5 ed; 13. ed 0-0; 14. a3 Nd3; 15. Nxd3 Bg4, gives Black a reasonable game. | ||||
