  nasmichael: A shatranj style ending. The power of taking away squares becomes the point of resignation. The threat is more than the execution.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: <nasmichael>, nice find. This game also illustrates why 4.d4 leads to so much trouble. Thanks to ...Nc6 and ...d5-d4, White has to make 7 of his first 14 moves with only two pieces, allowing Gligorich the initiative and a superior development.
