 | | Phony Benoni: An ironic game. White dutifully posts his rooks on the half-open h-file, but nothing ever happens there. Instead, they sit idly by while the queen, a magical knight, and the a-pawn cause great havoc on the queenside. Eventually, the rooks flit over to join the fun. The finish is amusing, after <58.Rb3>:

If 58...Nd2+ 59.Ka1 Nxb3+ 60.cxb3+, and Black's king will be hunted down. Riumin must have had a sense of humor. |

Well, in fact those two rooks on the h-file turn the game into a Q + N vs R + N one on the queen side, because the black Q and a Rook are over-burdened in the defense of the h pawn.
It reminds me of the game V Petrov vs R Grau, 1939, where a poor N was not able to face a queen, although the present game is more spectacular, I would say. |
