One can make a strong argument for the Botvinnik Variation of the Semi-Slav. The position after Black's 10th move was first reached by Grünfeld (!) in 1936, Botvinnik came up with the amazing idea of castling queenside in 1941, and in 2012, I have yet to meet a person who claims to understand what's going on in this crazy opening.
Bill, could you post a link to the pgn file for this tournament? Sevan put one up on the uschess.org article but the link seems to be broken...
ReplyDeleteI emailed PGN to you: let's see what I can do for everyone else.
