  offramp: Poor Unzicker's lost his knickers!!

He lost game 4 to Keres in a Ruy Lopez, Closed, Chigorin (C97).

In this game he had a good position.

A good move would be
23. Bh6, threatening the ♖ at f8.
White wants to play Qg4 or Rg3. It looks pretty deadly.

Later on, Black had a big attack.
36...Rg5.

There was a cracking defence from White, he should have played
37. Bxf7+. YES, it's the square KB2 again!
Here, White would be angling for a perpetual check.
37...Kxf7
38. Qd7+ =. There is no escape.
At the other side of the board, Black attacks White's <own> KB2.
