  Honza Cervenka: I guess that after 50.Qe8+ and 51.Qxg6 the win of white is fairly simple task.

  Pawn and Two: <Benzol> The Soviet tournament book for the XIX U.S.S.R. Championship, confirms that the add'l moves, (moves 50-63), that you have indicated for this game are correct.

  Benzol: <Pawn and Two> I have submitted a correction slip. Thanks for the confirmation, I'm sure <Honza> will also appreciate it.

:)

BTW can you tell me when Round 11 of this tourney played? My Keres book has a glitch in it so I'm unsure when Round 11 was played.

  Pawn and Two: <Benzol> Round 11, games 91-99, was played on December 2nd.

The struggle for 1st place was very intense in this tournament. After 11 rounds Botvinnik, Geller and Smyslov led with 7 1/2 pts., Keres was next with 7, Averbakh and Taimanov had 6 1/2, and three other players had 6 pts.

Everything was set up for an exciting tournament finish. One of the players with 6 pts after 11 rounds was Petrosian. In the last 6 rounds of this tournament Petrosian scored 5 wins and a draw, finishing in 2/3rd place, tied with Geller, only 1/2 point behind the tournament winner Keres.

Jun-16-15  zydeco: Keres wins from a very equal-looking middlegame.

I guess 22....b6 is a wasted tempo - black probably should have been more aggressive in challenging the d-file.

Jul-09-22  cehertan: Zydeco I think 22..b6 is a fine move. It prevents Qe3 hitting e5 and a7. This is the kind of ending that Magnus feasts on because although it is nearly equal there is enough play that the better player will win.
