- [ Searching for Bobby Fischer by Waitzkin is an excellent book.
- Jeff Sarwer, who someone asked about recently, is mentioned in

- 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5?
- 6. Ndb5?!

- [ 6. Bb5+! with the idea of Nf5 ]

- a6 7. Na3 b5 8. Nd5!? Bb7
-
- [ if 8...Nxe4 9. Qf3 f5? 10. Bd3 Nc5 11. Nf6+?! gxf6
- 12. Qxa8 Bb7 looks ok. Better is 11. Bxf5
- after 8...Nxe4 9. Qf3 Nc5 10. Bg5 Qxg5 11. Nc7+
- if 10...f6 instead, then 11. Nxf6 gxf6 12. Bxf6
- with both of Black's rooks enprise. ]
-
- 9. Bg5 Nbd7 10. Bxf6 Nxf6
-
- [ Black's position is quite solid and exchanges
- seem to help him. Perhaps White should try
- the immediate 10. c4 Qa5+? 11. Bd2 Qd8
- 12. Nxf6+ Nxf6 13. cxb5 Nxe4 14. bxa6
- if 10...Bxd5 11. exd5 looks fine.
- if 10...bxc4 11. Nxc4 with lots of threats.
- if 10...Be7 11. Bxf6 Nxf6 12. Nxe7 Qxe7 13. cxb5
- After the text, Black seems to gain the initiative
- by prying open the center. ]

- [ White sacs the bishop to give his rooks more
- play. Otherwise, they cannot "communicate."
- If 18. Qxf3? Qh4+!! 19. Qg3 (not 19. g3?) Qb4+
- and White is lost because 20. Qc3 Qxc3+
- 21. bxc3 Bxa3 or 20. Ke2? Qd2+ 21. Kf3 Qe3+
- 22. Kf4 Rd4+ 23. Kf5 Rf4+ 24. Kg5 h6+ 25. Kh5 g6+

- Black avoids the bishop trade after 18. Bb5+ axb5
