Jul-04-04		refutor: this line (up to move 17 or so) was played at the highest levels in the late 80s/early 90s Rozentalis vs Ivanchuk, 1986 , Van der Wiel vs Mikhalchishin, 1987 , Oll vs Khalifman, 1988 , Rozentalis vs Gelfand, 1988 , Kasparov vs Anand, 1991 , Timman vs Yusupov, 1992 . this was the sixth game in the candidates match and the other timman-yusupov was the second game, so i guess after this result, the "top guys" decided that it was better for white? so black plays 5. ... Nd7 now

May-01-05		Poisonpawns: <refutor> Thanks for the info: I was about to comment how i never saw this line before, and how interesting it was to me.In this game there seems to be alot of possibilities for both sides that could change the outlook on the variation.i.e instead of 15..f5!? why not the immediate 15..Nb3!? axb3 doubling whites pawns? If you are going to lose the piece at least leave a defect in the opponents position.Yusupov allows timman to recapture the piece without a price.Instead of 17..c6!? the move Rad8! is strong if 18.Bxb7? Rd1!+ 19.Rxd1 Bxd1 and the knight goes free
