Black Really Is OK! Brand Old Novelties - Part 1
It is not very seldom that we find during the preparation – or even by the game! – discover something. We play it and the outcome is well. We walk home then double our paces stimulated by curiosity. At home one searches all the potential sources – database, Informant, Encyclopaedia, whatever – to find out whether his idea was really a novelty. The findings are mixed! But anyway our hero did create something by his own. What remains is the ‘copyright’ – which we know doesn’t exist in chess analyses. It would be handy to call the thing after the one who played it first. But this – as we know of many examples – never 100 % sure. I do have a sign N? in my symbols. Someone suggested that the greatest honour should belong to the one who enriched the most of the variation in question. That sounds reasonable. Take the so called Adorjan Gambit (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3 e5!?). It is something which I could never play myself although I have analysed from back of 1992. The grand opening was a game between Kramnik and Leko (Tilburg 1998). Black won, but it was not at all a game without waves. It was funny to learn, that this shocking move (3. … e5) did not surprise Kramnik. That is because in preparing his match against Shirov he had analysed it. On top of all I learn that two Australian players had the premier (if at least this is true…) in 1993. But Black who had a wonderful game lost and since both of their Elo begun with 23xx, nobody paid attention to something fantastic played by ‘patzers’. The system below was called ‘Adorjan’s Line’ after my games Adamski (1970) and Bobotsov (1972) by Watson’s 4-volumes’ work about English (1981). 1970 was long ago and the variation has been played on many occasions. My followers were not disappointed: of the 217 games White won 59 while Black had 77 parties! There were 81 draws too. In addition: from the very best opuses (29 games) White won only 3, and Black 16 games. The number of draws was 10. All through the 40 years I never heard of any doubts about the author. And I do not know where there came a game played somewhat earlier than me…
