Donnelly-Hulley












(1) Donnelly,M - Hulley,J [A07]
MCCU Ind. Corr. Ch. 1996-7, 1996
[M.J.Donnelly]



1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 d5 3.Bg2 Bg4
Another popular system involves developing the bishop to f5 instead.

4.0-0 c6 5.b3
Keeping options open by delaying c4.

5...Nbd7 6.Bb2 e6 7.d3 a5 8.a3 Be7 9.Nbd2 0-0 10.c4
[10.e4 would define the opening as a Kings Indian Attack rather than a Reti.]

10...b5
[10...Qb6 11.Rc1 Rfc8 12.Rc2 Qd8 13.Qa1 Qf8 14.Rfc1 Nc5 15.Bd4 Nfd7 16.Rb1 f6= Sadler-Davies London 1989.]

11.Qc2 Qc8
[An individual idea 11...Qb6 is the usual move.]

12.h3 Bh5
[12...Bxf3 13.Nxf3 maybe preferable although it gives white the two bishops and a freer hand in the centre.]

13.e4
[Not only removing the hidden pressure on e2 but adding to the attack on d5 as well as keeping open the option of e5. 13.cxb5?! is premature since whites hold on the c-file is only temporary. 13...cxb5 14.Rac1 Qa6 15.Qc6 Nb6 16.g4 (16.Nd4 Rac8 17.Qxb5 Qxb5 18.Nxb5 Bxe2 with advantage to black due to the weak d-pawn.) 16...Rac8 and the queen is trapped.]

13...Rd8 14.Rfe1 Qb7!
A good move reinforcing d5 and b5 whereas weaker is [14...Bf8 15.Rac1 Qa6 16.cxb5 cxb5 17.Qc6 Nb6 18.Nd4 b4 19.a4 Rac8 20.Qb5 Qxb5 21.Nxb5 Rxc1 22.Rxc1 Rc8 23.Rxc8 Nxc8 24.Bd4 when white has more space and an edge.]

15.g4 Bg6 16.Nh4 Nf8
[16...Nxg4? fails to 17.Nxg6 attacking e7.]

17.Rab1 Rac8 18.Ndf3 N6d7 19.Nf5
Not really a combination just a piece loan to further whites increase in space.

19...exf5
[19...Bf6 20.Nd6 wins the exchange.; 19...Nc5 20.Nxe7+ Qxe7 21.Ne5 f6 22.Nxg6 Nxg6 23.exd5 cxd5 24.d4 Nb7 25.c5 with advantage due to the raking bishops and guarded passed pawn.]

20.exf5 Bf6 21.fxg6 Nxg6 22.Nd4 Nh4 23.c5
Controlling d6 and minimising blacks counterplay.

23...Nxg2 24.Kxg2 Bxd4 25.Bxd4 Nf8 26.Be5 Ng6 27.Bg3
[Not 27.Bd6 Rxd6 28.cxd6 c5 with counterplay. However white can now play for f4-5 with effect.]

27...Re8 28.Re2
So that it is white who ends up controlling the e-file.

28...Rxe2
[28...Nf8 29.Rbe1 Ne6 30.d4 Qd7 31.Qd3 Nc7 32.Bxc7 wins a piece due to the back-rank mate possibility.]

29.Qxe2 Qd7 30.Re1 f5 31.gxf5 Qxf5 32.Qe6+ Qxe6 33.Rxe6 Kf7 34.Rd6
Tying blacks pieces down to defending c6, d7 and d8.

34...Nf8 35.d4
[35.Be5 is weaker as after 35...Ng6 36.Rd7+ Ke8 37.Rc7 Rxc7 38.Bxc7 Kd7 black has few problems.]

35...Ke8
[35...Ne6 36.Be5 Ke7 37.f4 Nd8 38.f5 Nb7 39.Re6+ ; 35...Ke7 36.Bh4+ Kf7 37.f4 Ng6 38.Bg3 Ne7 39.Rd7 when white is better in both cases.]

36.Be5 Kf7 37.f4 Kg8 38.Kg3 Kf7 39.Kg4 Kg8 40.h4 Kf7 41.h5 Kg8
[41...h6 42.f5 Kg8 43.f6 gxf6 44.Rxf6 Kh7 45.Rf7+ wins due to the pending discovered check.]

42.f5
Black resigned for if 42...Kf7 43. h6 gxh6 (43...g6 44.Bg7) 44.Kh5 Kg8 45. Kxh6 Kf7 (45...Rc7 46. Rd8) 46. Bg7 wins. 1-0
