Aug-21-09		King.Arthur.Brazil: The Siesta var. is very complicated for white. Smyslov make 0-0-0, and tried to use his "g" column. Black Sd6 and Rf6 position allowed the false sacrifice 19.Ne4, which cannot be captured: if dxe4??? fxe4 and the Nf5 is lost, worst: e5 is even strong!If Re6, follows Qf3!Black pieces were in mess, while Qside attack with P began. After change Ps, white win a P, as entered in the 8'rank, and seemed after 40.Qxc2 got a draw game , but Black Qb5?? lose the game directly, bad bad fault!
