Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-09-07  Andreiko: What about 14.f4 (!?).
AA.
Apr-09-07  Bob726: why f4? nf6 and ne4 controlling e4
Apr-10-07  Andreiko: The idea of 14.f4 was Rf3-h3;
but after 14...Nf6 15.Qh4 is probably not so strong.
The problem is that Botvinnik play Nh5 to change the Knight and now pull behind the Queen: stylistic is not so great (or?). A.

  Honza Cervenka: Cool Knight ending. 77...b3 was a howler but the alternative was only waiting for the inevitable anyway, for example 77...Kh7 78.Nb3 Kg7 79.d5! exd5 80.e6 etc.
