Aug-31-04		Chessical: A dynamically played gamne by Boleslavsky in a style that would have been rare in the pre-war years. He plays dynamically and accurately after Antoshin plays <f5> attacking the base of the pawn chain, but revealing too many weaknesses on his K-side. <12..b6> followed by Nd7 comes into consideration. Boleslavksy's <15.g4!> show his confidence in the strength of his position, leaving his K without secure K or Q side cover.

Aug-31-04		Gypsy: <Chessical>, thanks for the discovery. What a game! I do not pretend that I even began to realy understand it. Taking a pedestrian approach: <26...Qe7> seems strange. But Black clearly must be lost; if the better-looking <26...Qg7>, then <27.h5> should finish the game in a good clip.
