After 13...2c6, which was played in
Lugo-R.Hernandez, Cuba 1988, Black
is doing fine. His plan should be to fol-
low with ...d6, ...%e6, and then ex-
change off the dangerous knight on d5
while putting his own horse on e5.

any compensation at all for Black’s

Lately, Black has been trying to
milk the position for as much as possi-
ble with 11...&xd4!? 12 &xd4
1) 13 &c4 Deb 14 b4 Wa8 15 Re3

On 12 Sc4, threatening b2-b4,
Black has a pleasant choice between
Kapengut’s 12...Wd8 13 “xc6 dxc6

Korchnoi’s 12...e6 13 @xc6 dxc6 14

This is an interesting attempt to in-
ject some energy into what would oth-
erwise be a pretty lifeless position.
After the pedestrian 14...Zaxc8 the
game quickly fizzles out to a draw
with 15 0-0 Bcd8 16 We2 and now:
