Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-14-08  TheaN: Strange to see that the exact same variation till move 21 here wins for Black, whilst in GM battles, it loses for Black. I don't see what's wrong with Black's variation 23....Qxb2, in contrary to popular continuation 23....c5. White here goes after the g3-pawn, that is pretty much nihil of value to Gorges, and Black continues the 2R+2B+3P vs Q+R+6P, and does this with success.
Jul-14-08  TheaN: Oh, excuse me: Reshevsky did play 23....Qxb2 but still lost . I'd like to see what the evaluation is in that position, as it's pretty vital to opening theory. 24.Bf4 seems correct but doesn't 24....d4 of Gorges have more merit than at that point the c5 of Reshevsky? It might be vital to Black to create two passers with Qxb2, and marge one up the board after 24.Bf4...
Feb-24-09  newzild: I think white's mistake is 27.Rf2, which gives up the initiative. White should play 27.Re7, threatening 28.Bf5.

  Richard Taylor: 27. Re7 makes sense.

  Richard Taylor: Smyslov comments in his book of games that instead 23. ... d4 might be better (it had been suggested by someone.) But he was not sure of the outcome of the game with its "unusual balance of material".

  Richard Taylor: That is 24. ... d4
Jun-12-21  nezhmet: Mobilizing the queenside pawns with the immediate 23...c5! (approved by engines) leads to a sharp situation which is unclear. For example, 24. Rae1 Qh5.
Jun-12-21  nezhmet: In the game, engines don't think much of 27. Re7 which would be met by 27...Qf6!, for example 28. Re6 Qg5 and the queenside pawns roll.
