Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-31-09   King.Arthur.Brazil: Black didn't appear to make counterplay by 13...cxd4, followed by Rc8. So white explore the tension on center by 16.f4! Reply Qa7 also desviates the Q from center and from minor pieces. 20...d5? is the final error. Smyslov put the black pieces tied one to another, misplaced. While black try to not loose them, the King is exposed and material is lost and also the game.
