Dec-03-06		Rama: In the last round, Spassky gets the chance to make up for his loss to Larsen. Quinones puts up weak resistance. Starting with 9. ... a5, he makes four moves in a row that seal his fate. At any point, ... Bd7, and ... a6, would be simple and good. Instead he becomes impatient and plays 12. ... g5, which might be okay except for 17. ... Bxf3, eliminating the defender of the white squares weakened by the g-pawn's advance. And why 16. ... cxb6? The whole point of 12. ... g5, was to break the pin and allow the Nf6 to move to d7 and cover the Bb6. By recapturing with the pawn, Quinones faces a lost K+P ending under certain circumstances. Boris makes it happen, starting with 28. dxe5 ..., opening the file, and continuing with 30. Rd6 ..., which makes exchanges imperative due to numerous threats along the 6th rank. 36. Bxd7 ..., takes off black's last piece, and 37. Kd3 ..., simply and clearly makes his point -- due to favorable King-position white wins by force. This put Spassky into the Candidate's Matches; first up: Riga and Paul Keres.

Aug-31-09		jerseybob: Rama: You're right; 9..a5 is a bad move. 9..a6 is better, with a possible continuation 10.Bxc6,b7xc6 11.Re1. But a6 must come first; if 9..Bd7? 10.Bxc6,Bd7xc6 11.a5. If you want to lump 4 black moves together, I'd suggest moves 10-13 rather than 9-12. Moves 10-13 are all aimed at securing the e5 strongpoint, including 13..Nd7, which is NOT aimed at recapturing on b6. Black's fatal fixation in this game is the e5 strongpoint, and he's willing to weaken both his kingside and queenside - especially the latter - to maintain it. Right up to the end, black maintains e5, but the flanks collapse and do him in.

Aug-31-09		WhiteRook48: great tactics

Jul-07-14		Zugzwangovich: Quinones had played this variation of the Lopez against Tal two rounds earlier and the games show an interesting comparison of Boris and Mischa's styles. Tal played the tactical 7.de5 and got an attack with two marauding knights that gave Black the choice of losing his queen or king. Spassky chooses the postional 7.Bg5 and simplifies down to a won king-and-pawn endgame.

Jan-27-18		edubueno: Quiñones empató primero con Bronstein y después con Stein. Eso definió la clasificación.
