{A decisive victory for Ben, making him clear Club Champion. In response to
Ben’s Sveshnikov Sicilian, Michael tries a less popular Maroczy bind setup.
Ben, always well prepared reacts with early 8…f5, guaranteeing active play
for his pieces and pressure on the f-file in return for weak d5 square and
backward d6. With 13…Kh8 Ben leaves ChessBase14 but has clear equality.
White makes some loosening moves 17.b4 /21.g3 and Black starts a complex
attack 21…,Rag8 It is curious but this move could have led to great
difficulties if White had replied with the sharp 22.f3! Diag.1 After 21…,
Rag8  With 24.Qh1?, White buries his Q, never to be seen again. It was in fact
not necessary to defend h2 as White K can escape to e2 and White still has
chances with his mobile Q-side majority. After 30…,e4 cutting White’s
position in two, Black is basically winning but care is still required.
Stockfish finds an extraordinary defense in 37.Nxe4!,fxe4; 38.Rxe4 followed by
Q to the centre, rating this as =. White has only 2P for a piece but secure K
and pressure against Black weak pawns.  With 40.f4? White loses patience and
shoots his position! It's fairly obvious that opening the dark diagonal to the
K is not going to end well. But it is difficult to find alternatives.} 1. e4 c5

{Alphaeus plays his favourite Samisch Attack against Nimzo-Indian, but Paul is
well prepared and strikes early in the Centre with 9…,d5! White’s lagging
development and uncastled K is exposed. White sacrifices the exchange with 24.
Rg5 but this hardly slows Black’s attack; better is 24.Bxf4,Nxf4 but Black
is winning. Paul chooses to return the exchange but win 2 pawns with a neat
manoeuvre Nd3-f4-e2-c3-a2. With 37…,Qxb3 Black wins a piece and White could
resign but Alphaeus likes to play to mate.  A beautiful game by Paul against a

{Paul plays the most aggressive line against Nathan’s English - a kind of
accelerated Dutch e5/f5/d6. The system is sound but needs careful handling as
already weak squares d5/f5 can be exacerbated by further pawn moves. Indeed I
would not play Paul’s 10…,g5?! before completing development with Nbd7/
Rad8 etc. Black’s 13…,b5? is against the logic of the position: Black
opens the Q-side where White is stronger; essential is 13…,d5/Nc7 keeping
things closed. However, there is no need to drop a piece with 14…,Bd7?  The
