Jul-20-09  King.Arthur.Brazil: Boleslavsky played a good game until 30. when Nh5 seems better(to treat Nf4). After changing everything the remaining pieces gives white best position (2P more) and win.

Feb-16-22  BentOuttaSmyslov: I think there is a mistake in the moves of this game. I am going through this game from Smyslov's book and his comments suddenly made no sense around move 32. That's because his book has 32...Rc8 for Black and not 32...Re8, as the PGN on here has.

  perfidious: Boleslavsky's 32nd, as given here, does not even make sense as some sort of Nimzowitschian prophylactic move. I will submit a correction slip, as 32....Rc8 must be correct.
Feb-16-22  Albertan: Perfidious, I looked up this game in the 365Chess.com database and that database gives the move you suggested, 32…Rc8 as being Boleslavsky’s move.
