  Jonathan Sarfati: Long manoeuvring game where Black made all the running. White's game collapsed after 47... ♗xf3.
Nov-05-09  Plato: Romanovsky holds his own in the lengthy maneuvering, but blunders a pawn with his 37th move (the position after 37.b3 would have been roughly equal) and then panics and tries to force the issue on the kingside. It backfires because Black's pieces are better poised there. Botvinnik's play from move 37 to 47 is highly instructive. 47...Bxf3! was the culmination of an attack that he had prepared by transferring every piece to its most effective square. After a completely shut down position, suddenly all of his pieces participated in the game.
Nov-05-09  RookFile: I remember going over this game with a master I was taking lessons from, once. First time we had both seen the game. He asked me: "What happens if 37. Ne3?" My instantaneous answer was: "37.... Nxe3 and Qxa2, of course".....

He said: "You're right...."

Nov-27-09  RandomVisitor: After 38...Qxa2, white might still have a playable game, due to some small compensation for the pawn:

".. People often lament the lack of support and cohesion in the US chess community. We are not Europe [good riddance!], and we seldom get government support for chess, but there is still much that can be done. There are many people who love the game, believe in its benefits .."
