  nasmichael: To see the pawns overwhelm the kingside is very instructive; to see material equality is not necessarily equality on the whole is a powerful idea. The white pieces just get smothered. Beautiful. Both players have clear plans, and they stick to them. Kudos to both of them. Thank you both.
