May-22-05		cu8sfan: This game is very interesting. I found it in Ludek Pachman 's <Modern Chess Strategy>, a great book which I value more than Aron Nimzowitsch 's <My System>. The content of these two books is about the same but the explanations in Pachman's book are much clearer for a patzer like me. About this game Pachman writes "White attacks the enemy centre by piece pressure combined with pawn pressure from the sides; he finally destroys it by advancing his Queen-pawn, which had been held back in reserve." I really think this game deserves some attention.

Jul-05-05		Mating Net: I agree <cu8sfan> this game does deserve attention. I think the exchange sacrifice 26.Rxg7! is quite clever. It allows the followup 27.Re8 which essentially freezes 3 Black pieces on the back rank. White wins by exploiting the resulting pin.
