The first interestning moment of the study. It is tempting to play - [2.Sd6?
Bg6! . This seems to draw, but recent investigations by Marc Bourzutsschky & Jakov Konoval have shown that the ending of rook and two minor pieces against rook and one minor piece is usually won. It proved possible that here White cannot sefend against exchange of one of the pieces: 3.Ka1!

.. "Beautiful study! Amazing reciprocal zugzwang position based on a beautiful domination. Excellent play of both kings (Kg7!!) and, especially Ka1!!). Witty fights all over the board, from the first to the last rank and line a to h.This stands out in the World Cup 2010!"
