May-04-06		notyetagm: Black plays a beautiful petite combination to gain a large positional advantage with 22 ... xc3!, <REMOVING THE GUARD> of the White d2-rook. After the further 23 bxc3 f3+ 24 xf3 xd2, Black has regained the exchange and in addition has the following 4(!) positional assets: 1) two bishops 2) 7th-rank rook 3) immediate targets in the White f2- and h3-pawns 4) long-term targets in the isolated White a- and c-pawns due to damaging White's queenside pawn structure with 22 ... x! 23 x. Black went on to win handily. A great example on the theme of <Make things loose!>.

May-04-06		notyetagm: In fact, Black's positional advantage is so great after 24 ... xd2 that a mere eight moves later (after 31 ... xc3) he has a three(!)-pawn material advanctage. An elegant strategic game by Black, worthy of a great positional master like Capablanca.
