Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-23-12  zydeco: This is be a tough line for black. The plan with ....Bg4 and flinging the kingside pawns forward is too ambitious and loosening. Black usually sits back, plays f6, e6, Bb7, Rf7, and defends dourly. Najdorf wins this very easily just by centralizing his king and knight and forcing black to give him a passed pawn.
May-08-17  edubueno: Las jugadas 30, 31 y 32 de Lilienthal son malas.
Oct-05-17  ughaibu: You really couldn't ask for weaker white squares in the white position. For a lot of the time every white piece is on a black square. But contrary to Bronstein's reasoning here: Szabo vs Geller, 1953 this just results in blacks's white bishop having nothing to do.
