Feb-19-11		Kazzak: Baturinsky screws up on move 34, Bronstein doesn't see it. But then Baturinsky does the decent thing and falls on his sword.

Feb-19-11		sevenseaman: <kazzak> sharp observation! Baturinsky seems very much off the pace here.

Oct-28-11		Everett: <Kazzak> Are you talking about the win of an exchange? Maybe, yet what is more valuable, the Rb8 or the Nd4? And sometimes these locked pawn structures hide fortresses, and one must be careful. It is not hard to see the relatively forcing line 35.hxg6 hxg6 36.Nc6 Bxc6 37.Rxg6 Rb7 38.Rxg7+ Qxg7 39.Rxg7+ Rxg7 40.Qxe6+ and Qxc6, but Black can get off that train as soon as the first move with 35..Bxg6!? 36.Nc6 Qc7 37.Nxb8 Qxb8 and how easy will it be for Bronstein to win? Bronstein leaves no doubt by bringing his N to f4, attacking g6 a fifth time, And going right for the Black K.
