Mar-04-12		Abdooss: In Inside Chess, 1998/12, Seirawan wrote ; <After one month I'm still incensed by my game with Ljubojevic. Playing the white side of a queen's Gambit I completely refuted one of his kitchen treatments. After isolating his center pawn, I had full control of the position and better development. He bamboozled me in time pressure, as I first shed a pawn, then my positional compensation, then my queen. A horror. That game dampened my enthusiasm for the tournament.> from http://www.chesscafe.com/yaz/yaz.htm

Mar-04-12		King Death: The move Seirawan played (10.Bf6) looks like a sideline in what was already a sideline. He more than likely wanted to avoid the plan ...g6 followed by ...Ng7 and ...Bf5 to get rid of the bad bishop. It's a little surprising that this isn't tried more often in the QGD Exchange since the main line doesn't offer a lot of winning chances.
