Jun-10-11		GrahamClayton: It is interesting to compare the placement of the White pieces after 24. d5: click for larger view and after 34. g1: click for larger view While it appeared that White was playing aggressively, the retreat of the pieces over the next 10 or so moves so that White's plan was misguided.

Jul-01-12		King Death: The position in the first diagram looks like White has a lot going for him but once Polugaevsky plays 24...f5 I think his position is better. White has more space but he doesn't really have anything to do and Black can gain space on the king side.
