Premature Draw?
Bellow are my quick analysis of the game Vladimir Kramnik - Krishnan Sasikiran, posted on Chessdom after the 4th round of the 2008 Chess Olympiad.
Vladimir Kramnik - Krishnan Sasikiran
Chess Olympiad 2008, Dresden
2008.11.16
1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.c4 c6 4.Nc3 a6 5.e3 b5 6.b3 Bg4 7.Be2 Nbd7 8.h3 Bf5
8… Bh5 is played more often, but 9. g4 Bg6 transposes back to the game.
9.g4
GM Ivan Sokolov preferred 9.Bb2 as introduction to queenside expansion with c5 and b4…
9… Bg6 10.Ne5!?
Specialty of IM Iweta Rajlich, who played this move on three occasions.
