| Jun-21-04 | | zb2cr: White's 33rd is the real mark of a master. Most players would grab the pawn and think later. Bernstein sees that grabbing the pawn would allow counterplay by 33 xg6, xg6+; 34 xg6, g8+; 35 xh5, xg2 winning back his pawn and activating his Rook. So Bernstein calmly prevents this, seeing that Black cannot free himself. |

| Sep-21-12 | | rapidcitychess: I really love this game. It's pretty shocking how easily black was dominated. |

| Jan-12-13 | | JimNorCal: The final position is memorable, four pawns on a side with opposite bishops, yet black is helpless. |
