O-O 5. O-O c6 6. d4 d5 7. cxd5 cxd5 8. Nc3 {Theory says that
Black equalizes easily against this move. The sharper 8 Ne5 is
answered satisfactorily by 8...Bf5 as in the Botvinnik-Smyslov
match 1957, and also in a later game Benko-Fischer.} Ne4
9. Qb3 Nc6 {!} 10. Be3 {Of course Black's d-Pawn was taboo.}
Na5 11. Qd1 {? Allows a very bad Pawn formation. Correct was
11 Qb4.} Nxc3 12. bxc3 b6 13. Ne5 Ba6 {Black has ideal play
against White's backward c-Pawn.} 14. Re1 Rc8 15. Bd2 e6

highlights White weaknesses on the white squares.} 17. exd5

21...Bxh6 is impossible because of 22 Nf6+.} f5 22. Bxg7 Kxg7

5. a3 Bf8 {For a time Robert Byrne, the American grandmaster,
enjoyed considerable success with 5...Bxc3+ 6 bxc3 Ne7 7 Qg4
but apparently he found a clear refutation because this sharp
defence has dissappeared from his opening
repertory. "Undeveloping" pieces though as with 5...Bf8?! has
little to recomend it.} 6. f4 Nc6 {Intending to castle
Queenside. If 6...c5 7 Nf3 Nc6 8 Ne2?! gives White a clear
advantage.} 7. Nf3 Nh6 8. Bd3 {Bb5 was more precise.} Nf5

decided to play for a win.} Ne3+ 42. Kf4 Nxf5 43. Kxf5 Qxb4

is Matulovic's specialty the same as his gambit in the
Sicilian defence. In blitz games there is no problems for
White because of the Black King's weaknesses. I know this
variation very well and because of that I was surprised at
Matulovic's choice.} 4. Nc3 fxe4 5. Nxe4 d5 6. Nxe5 dxe4

played in the game Gheorghiu-Maric, Skopge 1968. Georghiu
played 12Na7+ but he did not get any advantage in this
position. I analyzed this position all night with Robatch and
Gheorghiu in Vinkovci. Gheorghiu showed me that game against
Maric and it was very interesting for me. Our idea was 12 Bg5}

d5 14 Bxd5 cxd5 15 Qxd5 Rb8 16 Rad1 with an unclear position

was influenced against it because Petrosian as Black had
recently beaten Diez Del Corral at Palma de Mallorca in this
line.} Ne7 8. a4 Bd7 {An interesting idea, Black plays his
Bishop to c6 the knight's square and his Knight to d7, the
Bishop's square.} 9. Bd3 Bc6 10. O-O Nd7 11. Ba3 {To prevent
11...Nb6. But clearly 11 Ng5! offered excellent prospects on
the King's flank for White, ie: 11...h6 12 Qh5 g6 (or

quickly} 21. Ne4 O-O-O {21...Nf3+ 22 Kh1 Nxe1 23 Nf6+ and Nxg8

has weaker squares. Neither is particularly recommendable
6...Qb6!? 7 d5! as in Benko-Fischer, Curacao 1962, when

1. d4 {Notes by Bobby Fischer} Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Bg5 h6
{Forcing White to decide at once on which diagonal to place
his Queen's Bishop.} 4. Bh4 Bg7 5. Nbd2 g5 6. Bg3 Nh5 7. e4 d6
8. Bd3 {? Five minute chess...Better was 8 c3.} g4 {! Wins a
Pawn.} 9. Nh4 Bxd4 10. c3 Bf6 11. Nf5 Nxg3 {But not 11...e6 12
Qg4 and White regains his Pawn.} 12. fxg3 {Dubious since it
cedes control of the e5-square to Black. Apparently White was
not interested in positional fine points at this stage. But in
any event after 12 hxg3, ...h5 or ...e6, white would be a Pawn
down without any initiative. Now at least White has the f-file
to work with.} e6 13. Ne3 h5 14. O-O Nd7 15. Qe2 Qe7 16. Rae1
Ne5 17. Ndc4 Bd7 18. Na5 {!?} b6 {But not ...O-O-O?? 19 Ba6!
Bc6 20 Nxc6 Nxc6 21 Bxb7+! etc.} 19. Nac4 {Maybe 19 Nb3 gave
more tactical chances for White.} O-O-O 20. Nxe5 Bxe5 21. Ba6+
Kb8 22. Nc4 Bg7 23. a4 {!? White offers his a-Pawn for the
initiative.} h4 {!? Black offers his g-Pawn for the
initiative! All very interesting.} 24. a5 hxg3 25. hxg3 {White
had no time to open tha a-file, ie: 25 axb6 Rxh2 26 bxc7+ (or
26 bxa7+ Ka8! not ...Kxa7 27 Qe3+! and 28 Qxg3 etc.) Kxc7 27
Qg4 Rg8! 28 Qxg3 Be5! 29 Qxg8 Qh4 and wins.} b5 26. Ne3 c6
27. c4 {?? Weakens d4 irretrievably, he should take the
g-Pawn.} b4 28. c5 Bd4 {!} 29. cxd6 Qxd6 30. Rf4 Rh5 31. Rd1
{??} Bxe3+ 32. Qxe3 Qxd1+ 33. Rf1 Qd6 34. Rc1 c5 0-1
