This game was played in 1993 against the current AICCF Champion. It was my first tournament in AICCF and indeed one of the first tournaments in AICCF itself. It was not my first encounter with Shri P.B.Dhanish, we had met before in CCAI. At the moment, Shri Dhanish is a formidable opponent and one cannot expect to win against him in the manner of this game.

Mohan plays a neat game to remain on course to victory when a horrible blunder turns the tide. Perhaps his overseas travel to Nairobi was the main reason for this inexplicable blunder. Notes by Mohan with annotations by the Games Ed.

1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 c6 Reti opening. Reti and Alekhine (who adopted it faithfully) used this opening successfully against many then existing classical systems. Nowadays, following the revival of English opening, Reti's name is associated only with openings where Black replies 1... d5 to White's 1. Nf3 and White follows up with c4, then fianchettos at least his King's bishop, and doesn't transform to a Catalan or Neo-Grunfeld by playing an early d4. 3. g3 Nf6 3... dxc4 4.

Playing a strong attacking player like Shams Khan always is a challenge.Here is a typical example of attack and counterattack where Black comes within an inch of success.

1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 Queen's gambit accepted.Despite appearances the modern strategy by Black is not to hold on to the pawn but to play for free development & to saddle White with an isolated d-pawn after an exchange at d4.Black's "problem child" in the QGD-his light coloured bishop is free to find an active post at g4 or at b7. 3.
