Motylev opens with e4 and Maletin responds with the Caro-Kann. White then took matters into a topical and complicated line, involving an early nf3, be2, and c4 to undermine black’s center. Black response left him with an isolated d-pawn, after which he was unable to generate sufficient counterplay to white’s attack on the kingside. Motylev did not require any spectactular combination, as he gained a solid positional win.

GM Fabiano Caruana Vs GM Pavel Eljanov – Russian Team Championship 2011: Caruana opens with a Ruy Lopez, and Eljanov takes the game into a Berlin Defense. Eljanov attempted to lift his queenside rook to the 6th rank, however this plan seemed misplaced and Caruana attentively reacted to keep black’s rook out of play. A few consecutive dubious moves by Eljanov and Caruana rapidly seized the initiative – and the win. A fine game by the young super-GM, Fabiano Caruana.
