    Leko,P (2763) - Morozevich,A (2707) [B80]
    WCh-FIDE San Luis ARG (2), 29.09.2005


    1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.f3 e6 7.Be3 Be7 8.Qd2 0-0 9.g4 Nc6 10.0-0-0 Nd7 Kasparov played against Leko [ 10...Nxd4 11.Bxd4 b5 12.g5 Nd7 13.h4 Rb8] 11.h4 Nde5?


    Do not move twice with the same piece in the opening-,so they say to the kid, but if you are extraordinary chessplayer like Moro you can play it without being afraid of your coach (second). Still I admire people who can stand the work of being coach. 12.Qf2 Bd7 13.Kb1 Na5 Another move out of normal-there was not much choice anyway. The whole plan with Nde5 needs some follow up and this ugly Na5 suits well. 14.g5 Nec4 15.Bc1 b5 16.f4 b4 17.Nce2 Qb6 18.Rh2 d5!? 19.exd5?? Why not [ 19.e5 and strategically White has winning edge. The h5 is coming.] 19...Bc5 20.Qf3 Rad8 21.Nb3 Nxb3 22.axb3 Ne3 23.Bxe3 Bxe3 24.Rd3 Bc5Diagram


    Black has suddenly sufficent compensation-two bishops.25.dxe6 Bxe6 It looks that better was Qxe6 but Moro has his own idea! 26.Nc1 Why not Ng3! 26...g6 27.Bh3 f5! 28.gxf6 Bf7! Diagram


    This might came as shock for Leko. In mutual time trouble Moro is outplaying White compleatly. 29.f5 Bd4 30.fxg6 hxg6 31.Qg4 Bxf6 32.Re2 a5 33.Re4 Kg7 34.Qg3 Rh8 35.Bf5 Rh5 36.Rxd8 Qxd8 37.Be6 Bxh4 38.Qg2 Be8 39.Rg4 Re5 40.Bc4 Re1 41.Bd3 Qf6 42.Qd2 Qf2 43.Be2 Bf6 44.Rc4 Qg3 45.Rc7+ Qxc7 46.Qxe1 g5? Diagram


    Pawns are not moving back, so the plan should be first centralize your forces and only after that move your pawns. 47.Nd3 Bg6 48.Qg1 Qe7 49.Bg4 Qe4 50.Qg3 Bf7 51.Qh3 Bd5 52.Bf5 Diagram


    Because of too early g6-g5 White has some counterplay, but still here after Qh1! the endgame is definately lost for White... 52...Qh4? 53.Qe3 Qd4 54.Qg3 Bf7 55.Qg2 Qd5 56.Be4 Qe6 57.Nc5 Qd6 58.Nd3 Be6 59.Qh1 Qd4 60.Qh7+ Kf8 61.Bf5 Bf7 62.Qh6+ Ke7 63.Qh2 Qd6 64.Qh7 Qb8 65.Bg4 Kf8 66.Qh6+ Ke7 67.Qh7 Kf8 68.Qh6+ Ke7 1/2-1/2
