Generell gilt: In allen Stellungen dieser Art kann Schwarz ohne Nachdenken
oder Durchrechnen immer dieses Bauernopfer bringen und hat mindestens
Kompensation, eher mehr. Die Voraussetzung dafür ist, daß eine weiße Figur auf
f2 steht, denn sonst hat Weiß evtl. die Möglichkeit h2-h3. Falls Weiß keine
Figur auf f2 stehen hat, also h2-h3 spielen kann, muß Schwarz in der Lage sein,
möglichst bald auf h3 entscheidend eine Figur opfern zu können, am besten den
Bc8 (d7). Andernfalls bleiben die Linien am Königsflügel geschlossen und der
Angriff ist beendet.} 20. hxg3 fxg3 21. Bxg3 Nh5 {[%csl Rf4,Rg3][%cal Yd8g5]

Kompensation für den Bauern. Aber Weiß viele Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten und

{Was soll man gegen Taimanow spielen? Gegen die sizilianische Verteidigung
wollte Kavalek nicht kämpfen (wie oft hat sich Taimanow so schon verteidigt!),
so entschließt er sich, den Anzugsvorteil nutzend, selbst in sizilianische
Gewässer zu schiffen. Bald entstehende Felderschwächen auf beiden Seiten
halten sich die Waage, so dass man mit Zugwiederholung zufrieden ist.} 1. c4 e5

{Ein interessanter theoretischer Fall. In diesem noch nicht erklärten Abspiel
startet Taimanow einen Widerlegungsversuch mit 8. Se2, drohend c5 und a3. In
der vorliegenden Partie möchte Schwarz mit rascher Figurenentwicklung zu einem
Königsangriff gelangen und schiebt daher auch die Rochade auf.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4
