Wojtaszek - Morozevich | Black sacrificies an exchange for dark square control

In this last round of world blitz Wojtaszek is playing Morozevich. Radoslav plays d4 and Black goes for Benoni structure. Alexandr quickly sacrifices exchange on e3: normally black will want at least a pawn, but Alexander plays this position just exchange down. Black has control over dark squares and safer king.

The Benoni Defense is a chess opening characterized by the moves:
1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 c5
3. d5
Black can then sacrifice a pawn with 3...b5 (the Benko Gambit), otherwise 3...e6 is the most common move (although 3...d6 or 3...g6 are also seen, typically transposing to main lines).
This opening was first popularized by Mikhail Tal, "The magician from Riga", who played many brilliancies with this defense. In fact, The Modern Benoni was one of Mikhail Tal's greatest weapons and helped him to earn a shot at the world chess championship in 1960.
Many top chess grandmasters also used the Benoni like Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, Petrossian, Geller and Spassky.

Hi! Why only draw?? Morozevich sacrificed rook... It will be interesting to see analys this game Была ли ничья лучшим что было у Морозевича, он так бодро качество пожертвовал, но потом начал колебаться чего я раньше за ним никогда не видел

[@judelion8655]

I like the way Morzevich got out of his predicament by doing a perpetual

[@MarianoFreyreX]

Wow

[@user-xe3ws7zf9n]

У БОРИ ГЕЛЬФАНДА БЫЛА ИНТЕРЕСНАЯ ПАРТИЯ....

[@jodiewagner8494]

Morozevich has a lot of interesting opening preparations same with Duda

[@abdou7168]

No opening preparation for morozevich he plays against the preparation🤣

[@stanlearner5102]

so what is the expert level take away from this game? as a novice it appears that white was unable to capitalize on his material advantage and black saved a losing position that black created with a questionable rook sacrifice. Thanks.

[@lacivertumutkazankaya2042]

Interesting question. Both are great players on their own rights. I would say white insisted too much on a king side attack. Particularly Rh3 and Rf3 seemed a bit artificial. To me he should have played on both sides of the board. He did literally nothing on the queenside. And also if you can play like Moro you can indeed play dubious openings, sacrifice an exchange and live to tell about it.

[@danieleoddo1880]

3:46 why not Nxd5 ?

[@devertz995]

He just wins a pawn when he's an exchange down. You better not trade queen in that spot

[@stanlearner5102]

Morozevich v Shirov or Gelfand?

[@jjmontes14]

Tanto lío para unas tablas?

[@MarianoFreyreX]

Moroooo

[@kinglear5952]

This is not Moro's first foray into this sacrifice. I wonder what he had in mind as an Improvement over the following game. www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1721405
