Nov-04-03		ughaibu: I'm having a Tal month and as Drukenknight suggested this might be Gruenfeld month I'm going to kill a few birds with half as many stones, I hope some of them are interesting.

Jul-28-12		Everett: With 19..b4! Bronstein sets an interesting trap, but he may have been better off inconveniencing Tal's Q with <19..Re8!> threatening ..Re7, ..Ra8 or some combination to win the Q. Tal seems forced to trade in his second B to get some compensation. One possible line per Stockfish is <19... Re8 20. Bxc4 Ra8 21. Qxf7+ Kxf7 22. Bxb5 Re7 23. exd5 exd5 24. Bc6 Rc8 25. b5> click for larger view ... and we have a very interesting position... After Bronstein misses placing coordinated pressure on the q-side with <23..Rfb7>, Tal takes control of the game.

Jul-29-12		Everett: Above, it should read 17..b5
