Game 11
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimzo-Indian_Defence
Quote:
The Parma Variation (7...dxc4 8.Bxc4 Nbd7) is named after Slovenian grandmaster Bruno Parma, and can sometimes transpose to the Karpov Variation if pawns are exchanged on d4. White usually continues with 9.Qe2, clearing the d1-square for the rook, which will assist in the advance of the d-pawn. Black then faces an important decision. He may play 9...b6, with the intention of playing ...cxd4 at some point to isolate the d-pawn and blockade it, or exchange on c3 as well to play against the isolated c3-d4 pawn couple. Or, he can consider 9...a6 to grab space on the queenside with ...b5. In this case, Black will usually retain his dark-squared bishop. Black also has two rare alternatives on his eighth move worth mentioning: 8...Qe7 intending ...Rd8 is the Smyslov Variation, invented by former World Champion Vasily Smyslov, and 8...Bd7 followed by ...Bc6 is the Bronstein Variation, the brainchild of two-time world championship finalist David Bronstein..

[d] rn1q1rk1/pp1b1ppp/4pn2/2p5/1bBP4/2N1PN2/PP3PPP/R1BQ1RK1 w - - 1 9

WP WP    ::    WP WP WP
WR    WB WQ :: WR WK    

BG was stuck here for quite a while after VA played the rare Bronstein Variation 8...Bd7.

   ::    :: WQ WP WP WP
WR    WB WR ::    WK    

After eventually playing 9. a3 the position is now only slightly better for white; 13...Be4 looks like Black's best move here.
[d] r4rk1/pp1n1ppp/2b1pn2/q1p5/3P4/P1PBPN2/4QPPP/R1BR2K1 w - - 3 14

WP    WP WB WP WN ::    
   ::    :: WQ WP WP WP
WR    WB WR ::    WK    

However VA has just played 13...Qa5? instead which now allows BG to play 14. e4! with a very good position.
