Mar-01-18  zydeco: Very smooth game for Kholmov. This idea with 9.e6! really beats up the Pirc.

  Dionysius1: cg's stockfish engine seems to be saying that 14...♘bd7 is the losing move, and that ♕ on d7 and ♘ on c6 is a better defensive pattern if White tries to keep his ♖ on e6

  Honza Cervenka: 29....Nxd4 30.Qb7+ Kh8 31.Qf7 is clearly no option for black. Maybe 29...d5 could prolong game for a while, though white should be winning with optimal play.
