|
skakmiv: Then 14...Rb8 and when the bishop moves, Nxc4.

| | Jul-04-08 Peter Leko
| |
|
skakmiv: Hope that Leko wins tomoorow against Gustafsson. I have just watched some videos of Leko on youtube. He seems to be very calm, relaxed and sympathetic. He was once a very serious candidate for the World Championship. I hope that he can regain some of his lost confidence after ...

skakmiv: Recently, I could have ended up as black in this endgame: [DIAGRAM] White to move.

skakmiv: <16...Nc6?! is inferior to 16...b6 17.a4 Rae8 18.Ba3 Rf6 19.Rfe1 Qf7 20.Nf1 Rfe6 according to Max Euwe.> What's the point of 16...b6?

| |
|
skakmiv: Well, black couldn't use the a-file for any useful purpose anyway. 27.Rab1 puts pressure on the backwarded b-pawn. 27. d6 allows black's knight to get to e6 and then into d4, which is a nice outpost for the knight.
