Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-30-11  Grandpa jo: It is amazing how Basman obtains some play in this game.

In the opening Basman gives up a pawn with development advantage and eventually 2 bishops that'll strike Even if Queens have been exchanged..

. Intelligently white post their 2 rooks on d and e files. Dont forget 2 bishops when position opens 20.e5! and game is all over.

22.Re6! is a great move and 23..Ke8? lose by force
