Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-17-05  Everett: Larsen seems totally confused by the Suba hedgehog here.
Feb-05-08  Jaburu: In the Suba's book "Dynamic Chess Strategy", first edition, page 79, the move hier is 14.Re2. The move pawn to "h3" is 17.h3: "This is to prevent 17 ...d5 18.e5 Ng4. [If} 17.f4 e5 turns to be in VBlack's favour."
Oct-11-10  sevenseaman: Its a clever trap Bent has walked into.

22.Ba1? e5! 23.Nc2 b5! and suddenly White loses a pawn and his position is hopeless. And then the last move Larsen makes leads to an undignified ending. Was this the weariness of the last round? It was a tough interzonal for Bent Larsen (+4 =5 -4).

Suba, on the other hand, had a pretty good tournament, ending in third place when he was 11th (out of 14 players) by rating. He especially had a great tournament with the black pieces: +4 (Psakhis, Pinter, Sunye Neto and Larsen) =1 (Bouaziz) -1 (Tukmakov). With the white pieces he broke even.
