Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-25-06  paladin at large: Pretty finish by Smyslov. 9. b4 seems to have put a crimp in White's queenside development, gaining time for Black. 6. Qb3 did not seem worth the weakening of White's kingside.
Apr-08-08  Knight13: But missing ...Nxe5 and ....Nf2 is the major part of why White lost. He was doing OK before the roof fell.
Apr-21-08  headache: What happens after 38.Rxc8+ Nxc8?
Apr-01-10  ThreeLions545: Nothing much, black has two passed pawns and should win fairly easily.
