1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 6... e6 {One of thre
e main moves in this position. 6...e5 was seen on the next board with the same
success (Adams-Svidler), Kasparov's favourite 6...Ng4 will definitely be given
a test some rounds later. The text move is, in my opinion, the most demanding.
Now, if White wants to fight for some opening advantage, he (sorry,she) has to
be ready for certain risks.} 7. g4 {And she's ready! After Linares-99
(Topalov-Kasparov and Anand-Kasparov) English Attack (7.Qd2 or 7.f3) needs
certain repairing period. So the text move remains the only ambitious try as 7.
Be2 Qc7 is just good version of Classical Scheveningen for Black.} 7... e5 {
Practically forces White to sacrifice a piece (or even two). Kasparov's 7...h6
8.f4 e5!? seems to be a reliable option but maybe Vishy didn't like 8.h4!?

inventing this sacrificial attempt to the game Hazai-Dvoirys (Sochi 1982).
With all respect to Laszlo Hazai we have to mention the real author of this
interesting idea - prematurely gone Hungarian sharp attacker IM Bela Perenyi
who played it in 2 games already in 1978. Now Judit tries to revive "Hungarian
