Tony Miles (anagram: it's only me), was one of the most talented and adventurous British players.
was the first Grand Master of the United Kingdom, and in 1980 he succeeded to beat the World Champion Karpov with Black's inspired response to 1.e4 with 1. .. A6, causing a stir in the chess world.
Miles was a great expert in the "Dragon" in the "Sicilian Defence" variant subsequently ignored by the elite of the chess world, and recently put back into vogue by the world's No. 1, Magnus Carlsen.
Olympics Malta, again in 1980, played one of his "Dragon" most famous, from the Yugoslav grandmaster Ljubomir Lyubojevic after a great battle tactician.
is the game:
Ljubojevic - Miles (Malta 1980) Sicilian Defence ;
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 Nf6 4.Cxd4 5.Cc3 g6
Black opens a side panel (or "light a candle" as he put Esteban Canal) but that is not fairing any ... it comes to developing the dreaded black bishop of the houses, the soul of "dragon is taking shape.
Bg7 7.f3 0-0
6.Ae3 8.Dd2 9.Ac4 Nc6 Bd7 10.h4 h5 11.Ab3 TC8
With this move, the pawn is stopped "h" white, cast as a suicide bomber to open a gate nell'arrocco enemy. However, the Black touches one of the three pedestrians who protect his king, and this can cause trouble future. Similar variants play in this way, you have to have great confidence in their abilities and tactics, not a secondary fact, be in good mental and physical shape!
12.0-0-0 Se5 13.Ag5 TC5 CC4 14.f4 15. DD3
It is true that normally the White immediately change the insidious quadruped with the bishop on c4 b3. This leads, however, the advantages to the Black and White will always have to deal with the sacrifice supertematico .. Txc3. 15.Dd3 Ljubojevic's move is more ambitious.
... b5!? 16.e5
The best move. Capturing the pawn "b" would help the implementation of its Black counterplay sull'arrocco White, giving him the opportunity to demonstrate the dangerousness of the Horse in
c4: 16.Cdxb5 Cxb2! 17.Rxb2 Axb5 18.Cxb5 Cxe4 + or: 16.Ccxb5 Axb5 17.Cxb5 Cxb2!
16 ... f6 18.exd6 CG4 17.Ce4 TC8! 19.The1!?
The position becomes more and more complicated, and is the one that pointed Miles. The White with his latest move drew a massive centralization, and appears to be for the better. If Black accepts the sacrifice of Alfa in the Black g5 would be face to face with the victory, as in variant good 19. .. Fxg5 20.Cxg5 TF6 21.dxe7 De8 22.Cdf3! TC7 23.Dxd7! Txd7 24.Txd7 Dxd7 25.e8 = Q
But the dragon has many surprises ...
19 ... exd6 20.Cxd6 Rh7 21.f5
Uncompromising!
... Cxd6 22.fxg6 + RH8 23.Af4 Se5! 24.Axe5 fxe5 25.Cf3 e4!
The pawn on f6 so is turning into an unexpected hero.
26.Dxd6 exf3
E ' returned to the column "f" but now is ready to give the coup de grace!
27.Te7?
The location was out of hand, however, the Great Master Slavic, which now allows you to Miles and forced a dramatic closed. If 27.gxf3 Bf5 and Black would still be passed to carry the ball.
27 ... Bg4 28.De5
The White threatens mate by all parties. On 28. .. Axe5 29.Th7 crazy. But unfortunately for him the move is for the Black
The dragon, wounded and bleeding, assess the lethal backlash.
... Dxd1 +! Fxg2 29.Rxd1 + 30.Rd2 + Tfd8 31.Ad5 Txd5 +! And White left 0-1
