TWO THEORETICAL NOVELTIES IN ONE SINGLE GAME!
How is this possible, you will ask!
In every normal game, there is only one novelty. Good, brilliant or bad, but
only one!
At a specific moment one of the players plays a move which is not known yet by
the theory and all of the following moves lead game into its own way.
So, it seems like two novelties in one game are not possible!
OH, YES THEY ARE!
This game is a good demonstration of this fact!
This new line in French Winawer has also a new name.
I named it "KRJAVELJ ATTACK" after Krjavelj who is well known hero from
Slovenian literature.

Theoretically well known line in Winawer French. It has been used with black pieces among other players also by Khalifman, Akopian, Vaganian, Ivanov, Korchnoi, Lputian. This correspondence game puts the line and probably the whole system with 5... Ba5 under a big question!
11.Nh3!
THEORETICAL NOVELTY NR. 1!
It contains the same idea (12. Ng5) as the known continuation 11. Nf3 but with a significant difference. After 11.. .Qc7 white is not obliged to defend his e5 pawn with somewhat unnatural 12. Bf4 because he can simply play 12. f4 after what the standard move 12...Qc7 is a big lost of tempo. Soon or later black must take the pawn with Qa5. The whole idea is also based on presumption and analysis that taking the pawn with 11...Ne5 is not a good choice for black. [11.Nf3

We are back in theoretical waters with only one but significant difference. The white knight comes at g5 via h3 square. Move 12. Ng5 is an idea by Robert Fischer.

THEORETICAL NOVELTY NR. 2!
The move in its basis prevents black queen access the c5 field with unpleasant pressure on white king. This wonderful move completely paralyses black's play. I personaly think that white has already a winning game. [15.Be2

White has with an exchange and developement advantage a winning game. He has just to consolidate his kings position with Rb3 and the king has a lot of safety place via c1-b1 etc. All remaining moves are simply the realization...
