Tournament: Lucerne Olympiad Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "Lucerne Olympiad"] [Site "?"] [Date "1982.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Nunn"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "51"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 {John Nunn is a famous theoretician who loves sharp openings. In this game we "discuss" the main line of the Modern Benoni Defense.} 4.d5 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6 7.f4 {White takes control of the e5-square, which is often home to a Black knight in other variations.} Bg7 8.Bb5+ Nfd7 9.a4 {Now castling would be sensible, but Nunn had prepared something else. Since the advance of the a-pawn to a6 often makes it difficult to bring the knight into the game from b8, Nunn develops it immediately.} Na6 10.Nf3 Nb4 11.O-O a6 {Consistent, but this turns out to be a serious error because I can attack immediately. True, not all of my pieces are in the game, but on the other hand Black's pieces are all in awkward positions.} 12.Bxd7+ Bxd7 13.f5 O-O 14.Bg5 {Now my pieces are developed and a fierce attack begins.} f6 {14...Bf6 15.
