Ando Meritee Wednesday 07th of June 2006 09:01:00 PM Opening i9 gives black big advantage. Bobkov easily proved that black has no difficulties in that variant. Perhaps the 18th move was not the strongest. Move 18-i6 offers better resistance. The victory was brought by a beautiful 35 - connecting the forces of two areas. Nowadays people play 13-k6 more often, inspired by Nakamura who first brought the 13th move into a serious match - The Meijin Match 1992, against Hasegawa, and proved how easy it is to play as black there. Indeed, the 13th move occurred in some less important games earlier in the past, but before 1992 people weren't sure if the 13-k6 is a serious move or not. Now we know it is a great move!
